Study of interaction of poly(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) with a surface of highly dispersed amorphous silica

Interaction of poly(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) with the surface of highly dispersed silica and character of its thermal destruction were investigated by means of ad-desorption measurement, vibration and electron spectroscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis with programmed heating. The correlation between the character of polymer keeping on the surface of silicon dioxide and its thermal decomposition was established.

Absorption spectrophotometric, fluorescence and theoretical investigations on supramolecular interaction of a designed bisporphyrin with C60 and C70

The present article reports the spectroscopic and theoretical investigations on supramolecular interaction between fullerenes (C(60) and C(70)) and a designed bisporphyrin, namely 1, in toluene. Job's method of continuous variation establishes 1:1 stoichiometry of the fullerene/1 complexes. Both absorption spectrophotometric and steady-state fluorescence studies reveal effective and selective interaction between fullerenes and 1 as average binding constants (K) for the C(60)/1 and C(70)/1 complexes are enumerated to be 34,700 and 359,925 dm(3) mol(-1), respectively. Large selectivity ratio in K, i.e., K(C(70))/K(C(60)), indicates that 1 acts as an effective molecular tweezers for C(70) in solution. Time-resolved fluorescence study evokes that the quenching of fluorescence of 1 by fullerenes is of static type in nature. Molecular mechanics calculations in vacuo determine the energies and single projection structures of the supramolecular systems, which provide very good support in favor of strong binding between C(70) and 1.     

ESR study of products of transformation of 3,6-tert-butylpyrocatechol on alumina, zinca, silica, and titania

The formation of semiquinone and phenoxazyl radicals and metallocomplexes with semiquinone ligands was observed by ESR during the interaction of di-tert-butylpyrocatechol with Al₂O₃, ZnO, SiO₂, and TiO₂. In the case of different modifications of SiO₂, admixtures of TiO₂ exhibit a higher reactivity in complex formation with the organic substrate. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

ESR study of adducts of diisopropylphosphoryl radicals with C60C[P(O)(OEt)2]2 2 isomers

The radical adducts of the P^·(O)(OPrⁱ)₂ (R^·) radicals with C₆₀C[P(O)(OEt)₂]_{2 2} fullerene derivatives were studed by ESR spectroscopy. The number of stable regioisomers of phosphorylfullerenyl radicals formed by addition of the phosphoryl radicals to the C₆₀C[P(O)(OEt)₂]_{2 2} isomers depends on the mutual position of the organophosphorus groups and decreases in the series trans-2 > trans-3 trans-4 > e. The rate constants for addition of the R^· radicals to the trans-3 regioisomer (k = 1.7·10⁸ L mol^–1 s^–1) were determined.     

Photocatalytic selective oxidation of CO with O2 in the presence of H2 over highly dispersed chromium oxide on silica under visible or solar light irradiation

A highly dispersed Cr⁶⁺-oxide species on silica (Cr/SiO₂) was found to act as an efficient photocatalyst for the selective oxidation of CO into CO₂ with O₂ in the presence of H₂ under visible (λ>420 nm) or solar light irradiation at 293 K. UV-Vis, photoluminescence and FT-IR investigations revealed that the selective reactivity of the photoexcited tetrahedral Cr⁶⁺-oxide species ([Cr⁵⁺−O⁻]^*) with CO, as well as the high reactivity of the photoreduced Cr⁶⁺-oxide species (Cr⁴⁺-oxide species) with O₂ both play significant roles in this reaction.     

17O NMR gives unprecedented insights into the structure of supported catalysts and their interaction with the silica carrier

Flame silica was surface-labeled with (17)O, through isotopic enrichment of both siloxanes and silanols. After heat treatment at 200 and 700 °C under vacuum, the resulting partially dehydroxylated silica materials were investigated by high-field solid-state (1)H and (17)O NMR. More specifically, MQ MAS and HMQC sequences were used to probe the (17)O local environment. In a further step, these (17)O-tagged supports were used for the preparation of supported catalysts by reaction with perhydrocarbyl transition metal derivatives (zirconium tetraalkyl, tantalum trisalkyl-alkylidene, and tungsten trisalkyl-alkylidyne complexes). Detailed (17)O 1D and 2D MQ and HMQC MAS NMR studies demonstrate that signals in the Si-OH, Si-O-Si, and Si-O-metal regions are highly sensitive to local structural modifications, thanks to (17)O wide chemical shift and quadrupolar constant ranges. Experimental results were supported by DFT calculations. From the selective surface labeling, unprecedented information on interactions between supported catalysts and their inorganic carrier has been extracted.     

Photocatalytic oxidation of propylene with molecular oxygen over highly dispersed titanium, vanadium, and chromium oxides on silica

Photocatalytic oxidation of propylene with molecular oxygen at room temperature was investigated over various silica-supported metal oxides with low loading. The photocatalytic active site is assumed to be the isolated tetrahedrally coordinated metal oxides in the ligand-to-metal charge-transferred state, such as (Mdelta- -OLdelta+). Photocatalytic epoxidation of propylene into propylene oxide was promoted over silica-supported V and Ti oxides at steady state. Over silica-supported Cr oxide, the propylene oxide formation rate was remarkably decreased with the time course in the reaction. The oxidation state and the coordination environment of the supported Ti, V, and Cr oxide species were determined by diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectroscopy (DRS) and electron spin resonance (ESR). During the photocatalytic oxidation, the oxidation state of the Ti4+ species was not varied. On the other hand, the V5+ species was partially reduced to V4+ and the Cr6+ species was successively reduced to Cr5+ and Cr3+. An isotopic tracer study of the C3H6-18O2 reaction suggests the difference of the active oxygen species between TiO2/SiO2 and V2O5/SiO2. The active oxygen species on TiO2/SiO2 is derived from molecular oxygen. On the other hand, the photogenerated products on V2O5/SiO2 incorporate the lattice oxygen of the surface metal oxide species. It is suggested that the kinds of terminal ligand (hydroxyl or oxo) of the tetrahedrally coordinated metal oxides on silica decide the active oxygen species in the photocatalytic oxidation. A photoinduced hole center on the monohydroxyl (SiO)3Ti-OH species activates molecular oxygen that reacts with propylene. In the case of the monooxo (SiO)3V=O and dioxo (SiO)2Cr=O2 species, the photoactivated lattice oxygen (OL-) directly reacts with propylene.     

Experimental (FT-IR, FT-Raman, H, C NMR) and theoretical study of alkali metal 2-aminonicotinates

The influence of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium on the electronic system of 2-aminonicotinic acid (2-ANA) was studied by the methods of molecular spectroscopy. The vibrational (FT-IR, FT-Raman) and NMR (¹H and ¹³C) spectra of 2-aminonicotinic acid and its alkali metal salts were recorded. Characteristic shifts and changes in intensities of bands along the metal series were observed. The changes of chemical shifts of protons (¹H NMR) and carbons (¹³C NMR) in the series of studied alkali metal 2-aminonicotinates (2-AN) were observed too.Optimized geometrical structures of the studied compounds were calculated by the B3LYP method using the 6-311++G** basis set. Aromaticity indices, atomic charges, dipole moments and energies were also calculated. The theoretical chemical shifts in ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra and theoretical wavenumbers and intensities of IR and Raman spectra were determined. The calculated parameters were compared to the experimental characteristics of the studied compounds.     

Theoretical predictions of the structures and electronic spectra of C60NH with comparisons with the isoelectronic molecules C60O and C60CH2

Intermediate neglect of differential overlap (INDO ) calculations were used to study two structures of C₆₀NH: one of C_2ν, geometry with a bridging NH across the bond between two fused six-membered rings in C₆₀ and the other of C_s geometry with a bridging NH across the bond between a five- and a six-membered ring. We calculated the most stable isomer of C₆₀NH to be of C_2ν, symmetry. It was found that the C_2ν isomer has a protonated aziridine structure with a bridging C? C bond length of 0.1520 nm. The electronic spectra of both isomers of C₆₀NH were calculated. Comparisons were made with the isoelectronic molecules C₆₀O and C₆₀CH₂, cases in which the calculated electronic spectra for the most stable isomers C₆₀O (C_2ν) and C₆₀CH₂ (C_2ν) are in good agreement with recent experimental results. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

功能化含磷钼酸介孔硅材料的制备及其在深度氧化脱硫中的应用

随着全球工业的快速发展,化石燃料的消耗量日益增加,从而导致有毒污染物的排放量随之增加.燃料油中的含硫化合物燃烧后会形成SOx.SOx排放到大气中会形成酸雨污染环境.因此,超清洁燃料的生产迫在眉睫.目前主要的脱硫工艺为加氢脱硫(HDS).HDS能够有效脱除燃油中的硫醚、硫醇和二硫化物等含硫化物,但对于芳香族硫化物及其衍生物(如苯并噻吩、二苯并噻吩和4,6-二甲基二苯并噻吩等)的脱除效果较差,而且HDS需要在高温、高压且有合适催化剂存在的条件下进行反应.因此,开发操作简单、反应条件温和、能够高效脱除芳香族硫化物及其衍生物的脱硫工艺已成为目前研究的热点.催化氧化脱硫(CODS)能够在温和条件下高选择性脱除芳香族硫化物及其衍生物,作为HDS的有效补充,在深度脱硫领域的应用得到了广泛认可.目前适用于CODS的催化剂有分子筛、甲酸、过氧化物酶、氧化钼和杂多酸等.其中,含钼(VI)催化剂在CODS中表现出良好的性能,得到了广泛的研究和应用.在CODS中,催化剂载体同样起着重要作用.从实际应用角度出发,无定形二氧化硅在制备过程及经济性方面存在着不可替代的优势.到目前为止,无定形SiO2负载磷钼酸(HPMo)作为CODS催化剂的研究鲜有报道.本课题组以聚乙烯吡咯烷酮(PVP)为介孔模板剂,以正硅酸四乙酯(TEOS)为硅源,通过沉淀法直接合成了功能化含HPMo介孔复合材料HPMo-SiO2.采用XRD,FT-IR,31P-NMR和XPS等测试手段对所制备的材料进行了表征.结果表明,作为催化活性位点的钼以磷钼酸的形式存在,磷钼酸的Keggen结构在负载过程中没有遭到破坏,并且活性磷钼酸能够均匀分散在二氧化硅载体上.HPMo-SiO2的比表面积为365.0 m2/g,总孔容为1.237 cm3/g,平均孔径为12.91 nm.本文系统研究了模型油脱硫反应条件、催化剂循环使用次数及催化反应动力学.结果表明,HPMo-SiO2具有高效的脱硫活性,在反应温度为55oC,催化剂与模型油质量比为0.7%,反应时间为10 min的条件下,二苯并噻吩(DBT)脱除率可达100%;在反应温度为60oC,催化剂与模型油质量比为1.0%,反应时间为30 min的条件下,苯并噻吩(BT)脱除率可达100%.同等反应条件下,DBT的反应活性大于BT.DBT及BT的氧化脱除反应均符合表观一级动力学模型,且DBT脱除反应的表观活化能小于BT脱除反应.所制备的催化剂经过10次循环使用,DBT脱除率仍可以达到95.2%(BT为95.7%),说明所制备的HPMo-SiO2催化剂具有高活性和强稳定性.通过气质联用及微库仑仪对反应产物进行了分析,结果表明,BT和DBT的氧化产物分别为苯并噻吩砜(BTO2)和二苯并噻吩砜(DBTO2),且氧化产物全部被催化剂吸附,油品中没有含硫化合物的存在,因此不需要后续的氧化产物分离操作,提高了整个脱硫工艺的经济性,并且有效减少了分离操作带来的油品损失.     

金红石型氧化钛负载的铱在催化分解N_2O推进剂反应中的应用（英文）

氧化亚氮(N_2O)是一种性能独特优越的新型绿色推进剂,分解后可以生成高温富氧燃气,实现自增压式多种模式推进,是小卫星推进系统理想的推进剂选择,因而具有广阔的应用前景.在标准状态下,N_2O热分解反应活化能为250 k J/mol,致使其非催化热分解温度高达600 ℃,显然小卫星的能源系统无法满足,必须采取催化分解的手段,改变反应路径、降低反应活化能,使N_2O能够在较低的温度下分解.有关N_2O分解催化剂的报道很多,如纯相或复合氧化物、金属交换分子筛和负载贵金属等,但是这些催化剂仍然存在活性较低等问题,难以满足N_2O推进系统的应用需求.氧化钛是光催化和金催化常用的催化剂,经还原后能够形成氧缺陷,可以为涉氧反应提供电子,而N_2O分解会产生大量氧,氧脱附是其速率控制步骤,因而以氧化钛为载体,有望促进氧脱附及N_2O分解.与此同时,氧化铱具有较高的N_2O分解活性,而且与金红石型氧化钛晶格相似,相似的晶格参数可能会促进其在氧化钛表面的分散,进一步提高N_2O分解性能.基于此,本文以金红石氧化钛(r-TiO_2)为载体,采用匀相沉积沉淀法制备了不同载量的金红石氧化钛负载铱催化剂(Ir/r-TiO_2),并制备了锐钛矿型氧化钛、混合晶相P25和γ-Al_2O_3负载铱催化剂作为对比.通过活性测试我们发现,Ir/r-TiO_2催化剂显示了非常优异的N_2O分解活性,N_2O转化率明显高于参比催化剂,在250℃就能够开始分解,在300 ℃可以分解完全,而且当Ir含量降低到0.1%时,催化剂仍然保持与2 wt%Ir/γ-Al_2O_3相当的催化活性.随后我们采取多种表征手段对Ir/r-TiO_2的活性本质和N_2O分解机理进行了探究.首先利用BET、HAADF-STEM和XRD对催化剂的基本物性进行了测试,发现Ir/r-TiO_2具有较低的比表面积,但金属铱在金红石氧化钛表面表现出较高的分散度,平均粒径仅为1.25 nm.采用H-2-TPR和O 1s XPS考察了催化剂的电子特性和还原特性,发现Ir/r-TiO_2催化剂上高分散的Ir与氧的结合能较弱,易于还原,有助于N_2O的分解和生成氧的脱附.进一步采用原位N_2O-DRIFT对N_2O分解过程进行了研究,发现了桥式过氧物种,并据此提出了N_2O在Ir/r-TiO_2催化剂上的分解机理.     

非化学计量比SnO~2~-~x纳米微晶材料的XRD,XPS和ESR研究

采用溶胶凝胶法, 以无水四氯化锡及异丙醇为原料, 制得非化学计量比的SnO~2~-~x纳米微晶材料。透射电镜图片显示700℃焙烧2h得到的粉体的粒度为20nm,由X射线衍射及X射线光电子能谱的分析可知, 300℃焙烧2h得到颗粒边界部分原子无规排布的纳米粉体, 而700℃焙烧2h得到的是晶格趋于完整的纳米微晶,它们都存在氧空位及晶格缺陷, 利用这些结论可以解释SnO~2~-~x纳米微晶材料中出现的顺磁信号。     

Adsorption of a cationic surfactant, miramistin, from aqueous solutions on the surface of highly dispersed silica

The adsorption of a universal antiseptic agent, the cationic surfactant miramistin, on the surface of highly dispersed silica has been studied. It has been shown that, when miramistin is adsorbed from acidic premicellar solutions, the main contribution to miramistin binding with the surface is made by hydrogen bonding between amide groups of surfactant molecules and silanol groups of silica, which is, at higher pH values, accompanied by ionic interaction between positively charged quaternary nitrogen atoms of miramistin and negatively charged dissociated silanol groups. In the case of adsorption from a micellar solution, an increase in the surface concentration of miramistin is almost independent of solution pH, because the second layer is predominantly formed due to hydrophobic interactions.     

Temperature dependence of the ESR line width of C60 − in C60 crystals doped with sodium, potassium, zinc, and indium

The ESR line width of the C₆₀ ⁻ anion in samples of fullerides (Na, K, Zn, and In) with low metal content (0.01%) is ∼0.1 mT at 77 K and ∼1 mT at 300 K. The line shape is fitted better by the Lorentzian function than by the Gaussian function. The spin-lattice relaxation likely makes some contribution to the line width. Time-dependent changes in the ESR spectra were observed: they are related to diffusion of cations to defects of the crystalline lattice. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Thermally stable perfluoroalkylfullerenes with the skew-pentagonal-pyramid pattern: C60(C2F5)4O, C60(CF3)4O, and C60(CF3)6

Reaction of C(60) with CF(3)I at 550 degrees C, which is known to produce a single isomer of C(60)(CF(3))(2,4,6) and multiple isomers of C(60)(CF(3))(8,10), has now been found to produce an isomer of C(60)(CF(3))(6) with the C(s)-C(60)X(6) skew-pentagonal-pyramid (SPP) addition pattern and an epoxide with the C(s)-C(60)X(4)O variation of the SPP addition pattern, C(s)-C(60)(CF(3))(4)O. The structurally similar epoxide C(s)-C(60)(C(2)F(5))(4)O is one of the products of the reaction of C(60) with C(2)F(5)I at 430 degrees C. The three compounds have been characterized by mass spectrometry, DFT quantum chemical calculations, Raman, visible, and (19)F NMR spectroscopy, and, in the case of the two epoxides, single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound C(s)-C(60)(CF(3))(6) is the first [60]fullerene derivative with adjacent R(f) groups that are sufficiently sterically hindered to cause the (DFT-predicted) lengthening of the cage (CF(3))C-C(CF(3)) bond to 1.60 A as well as to give rise to a rare, non-fast-exchange-limit (19)F NMR spectrum at 20 degrees C. The compounds C(s)-C(60)(CF(3))(4)O and C(s)-C(60)(C(2)F(5))(4)O are the first poly(perfluoroalkyl)fullerene derivatives with a non-fluorine-containing exohedral substituent and the first fullerene epoxides known to be stable at elevated temperatures. All three compounds demonstrate that the SPP addition pattern is at least kinetically stable, if not thermodynamically stable, at temperatures exceeding 400 degrees C. The high-temperature synthesis of the two epoxides also indicates that perfluoroalkyl substituents can enhance the thermal stability of fullerene derivatives with other substituents.     

PMo or PW heteropoly acids supported on MCM-41 silica nanoparticles: Characterisation and FT-IR study of the adsorption of 2-butanol

Mesoporous silica, prepared in basic conditions, has been loaded (20% weight) with 12-molybdophosphoric (PMo) or 12-tungstophosphoric (PW) acid and calcined at different temperatures ranging between 250 and 550 °C. The samples have been characterised by N₂ adsorption-desorption at −196 °C, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), UV-visible diffuse reflectance, Raman spectroscopy and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The acidity and catalytic activity have been, respectively, examined by monitoring the adsorption of pyridine and 2-butanol by FT-IR spectroscopy. The results indicate that PW and PMo acids are highly dispersed on mesoporous silica MCM-41 spherical nanoparticles. While PMo retains its Keggin structure up to 550 °C, PW decomposes at this temperature into crystalline WO₃ and phosphorous oxides. In both cases, the morphology, hexagonal symmetry and long-range order observed for the support are preserved with calcination up to 450 °C. The Brönsted-type acid sites found in all samples, whose surface concentration decreases as the calcination temperature increases, are responsible for the selective formation of cis-butene detected upon adsorption of 2-butanol. The sample containing PW calcined at 450 °C also shows selectivity to methyl ethyl ketone.     

A density functional theory study of the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde over vanadia supported on silica,titania and zirconia

The mechanism of the selective oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde over vanadia supported on silica, titania and zirconia, suggested recently by Khaliullin and Bell, has been critically reconsidered at the same density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31G*) level. It was shown that an improper use of cluster models mimicking an intrinsic support structure may result in the failure to explain the observed experimental findings like those found in the above paper, i.e. when considering the activation energies and TOF between those three different supports, as well as the next-nearestneighbor V environment geometry for vanadia supported on titania catalyst.
