FeMn粉末触媒制备及金刚石合成条件的研究

利用气雾化法制备了FeMnX1、FeMnX2NiY2、FeMnX2CoY2(X1=X2+Y2,X2＞Y2,0＜Y2≤10)粉末触媒.利用金相显微镜、扫描电镜和X射线衍射仪对粉末进行了表征.分析表明:制备的粉末大多为球形颗粒,D50约为23.6 μm,晶格常数约为0.36108 nm;按触媒与石墨粉的比例为4: 6制备合成柱并进行了合成实验,结果表明用FeMn基粉末触媒合成金刚石的温度、压力均要高于使用FeNi30触媒,在5.4～5.6 GPa压力、温度高于1450 ℃时才可以合成出金刚石,添加Y2;的Ni或Co元素后合成温度和压力稍微降低,且金刚石形核量有所增加.此外,利用晶体的价电子结构和界面电子密度连续理论分析了不同的M3C型碳化物对合成条件的影响,解释了FeMn基触媒合成金刚石条件高于FeNi触媒的原因.     

添加不同硼源时金刚石的高温高压合成

在压力6.5 GPa、温度1290～1350℃实验条件下,研究了合成体系中分别添加单质硼、六角氮化硼(h-BN)时金刚石的合成.由于合成体系中添加剂的存在,导致所合成的金刚石颜色发生了明显的改变.傅里叶显微红外光谱(FTIR)测试表明,当合成体系中h-BN添加量较少时,所合成金刚石中含有替代式的氮杂质,且金刚石中有sp2杂化的硼-氮、硼-氮-硼结构存在.当合成体系中h-BN添加量达到2 wt;时,金刚石中的氮仅以硼-氮-硼的结构存在.此外,霍尔效应测试结果表明,硼掺杂金刚石具有p型半导体特性,而合成体系中添加h-BN所制备的金刚石表现为绝缘体.

利用光学显微镜和X射线衍射等手段,表征了高温高压下合成金刚石单晶时不同合成工艺的铁基触媒合金组织结构.结果发现:金刚石合成效果较好时的触媒组织中Fe3C呈规则的条状,而合成效果不好时的触媒组织中局部出现了不规则的团絮状Fe3C.分析认为,Fe3C在不同的结晶条件下表现出不同的生长行为,高温高压下金刚石单晶的生长与触媒中Fe3C的生长行为有密切关系.     

NiMnCo-C-S系中掺硫金刚石单晶的研究

本文在5.5～5.7 GPa,1450～1550℃的条件下由镍锰钴-石墨-硫体系中合成金刚石单晶.合成的金刚石晶体具有完整的{111}和{100}面,内部有少量包裹体.晶体表面有凹坑,凹坑内有许多细小的孔洞,且有连晶出现.X射线荧光光谱检测结果表明,随着反应体系中硫含量的增加,晶体中硫和锰的含量明显增加,而镍和钴的含量却降低.这由于硫与触媒中的锰发生了反应,改变了合成触媒的成分配比,进而改变了触媒的性质.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 5-[2-(6-bromonaphthalenyloxymethyl)]-3-(4-morpholinomethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-thione

Abstract  The title compound, C₁₈H₁₈BrN₃O₃S, a derivative of 1,3,4-oxadiazole, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with unit cell parameters a = 6.8731(3), b = 8.9994(4), c = 15.7099(6) ?, α = 92.779(3)°, β = 130.575(3)°, γ = 107.868(4)°, Z = 2. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the planar naphthyl and morpholine (chair) rings with the planar oxadiazol ring is 50.1(8) and 76.8(6)°, respectively. The planar naphthyl ring is twisted 52.2(5)° with the mean plane of the morpholine ring. A group of four intermolecular close contacts are observed between a bromine atom and hydrogen atoms from the closely packed naphthyl, morpholine and oxy–methyl groups in the unit cell. These molecular interactions in concert with an additional series of π–π stacking interactions that occur between the center of gravity of the two 6-membered rings of the naphthalene group influence the twist angles of each of these three groups. A MOPAC AM1 calculation of the conformation energy of the crystal structure [226.0128(9) kcal] compared to that of the minimum energy structure after geometry optimization [29.9744(1) kcal] reveals a significantly reduced value. The twist angles of the three groups above also change after the AM1 calculation giving support to the influence of both intermolecular C–H···Br short-range interactions and Cg π–π stacking interactions on these angles which therefore play a role in stabilizing crystal packing.

The natural amino acid L-Spinacine (4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-6-carboxylic acid) has been synthesized following a new pathway which gives a chemically and optically pure product with an excellent yield. The crystal structures of a synthetic intermediate, N^π-hydroxymethyl-spinacine, and a spinacine derivative, N^α-methyl-spinaceamine, have been investigated through X-ray diffraction: Spi(πMeOH)·H₂O, monoclinicP2 _i,a=8.571(1),b=6.682(1),c=8.588(1) Å, and β=94.67(1)^o. Spm(αMe)·2HCl·H₂O, triclinicP l,a=7.492(4),b=10.799(3),c=7.040(2) Å, α=91.88(2), β=98.36(3) and γ=73.34(3)^o. Spi(πMeOH) crystallizes with a water molecule and displays a zwitterionic character. The carboxylate group is in equatorial position and forms a short electrostatic interaction of 2.618(2) Å between one of its oxygens and the protonated nitrogen of the tetrahydropyridine ring. The crystal packing is assured by strong O?H???O, O?H???N, N?H???N intermolecular hydrogen bonds and C?H???O close contacts. The biprotonated compounds Spm(αMe) crystallizes with two Cl^? anions and a water molecule. The positive charge on the imidazole ring is delocalized on the conjugated moiety N=C?N. The crystal is built up by clusters formed by two biprotonated Spm(αMe) molecules, four Cl^? anions and two water molecules linked together by hydrogen bonds.

Compound 2 is a bimetallic complex with a P–O–P bridging group containing bond distances similar to that of other complexes in which two metal centers are bridged by a single R₂POPR₂ ligand. Compound 3 contains intermolecular hydrogen bonded P–O–H–O–P linkages with bond distances comparable to those seen in similar structures with intramolecular hydrogen bonding suggesting that the distance is a function of the nature of the bond and not affected by the cis arrangement of the ligands about the metal center.

Spherulitic crystallization of β‐In2Te3 by physical vapour deposition

Different morphologies of indium telluride (In₂Te₃) including novel spherulites were crystallized using the physical vapour deposition (PVD) method, by varying the difference in the growth and source zone temperature (ΔT) of a dual zone horizontal furnace assembled indigenously. Whiskers and kinked needles of In₂Te₃were grown at ΔT = 250 K and 300 K respectively, maintaining the growth zone at 500 °C. At high supersaturation (Δ T = 400 K), spherulitic crystals were obtained. The stoichiometric composition of these crystals has been confirmed using energy dispersive analysis by x‐rays (EDAX). The structure of β‐In₂Te₃ spherulitic crystals is identified as zinc blende with lattice parameter a = 6.159 Å, from x‐ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed the radial structure of the grown spherulites. The growth mechanism for the spherulitic crystallization of β‐In₂Te₃ crystals has been discussed based on the theoretical models. (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
