Structure and stability of closo-BnHn−2(CO)2 (n = 5–12)

Closo-B_nH_n−2(CO)₂ (n = 5–12), isolobal analogues of closo-C₂B_n−2H_n, have been investigated at the B3LYP/6-311+G^**density functional level of theory. The most stable isomers of closo-B_nH_n−2(CO)₂ are similar to those of closo-C₂B_n−2H_n in geometric patterns apart from closo-B₆H₄(CO)₂, and closo-B_nH_n−2(CO)₂ is much less strained than closo-C₂B_n−2H_n. Energetic analysis identifies closo-B₆H₄(CO)₂, closo-B₁₂H₁₀(CO)₂ and closo-B₁₀H₈(CO)₂ to be most stable, of which the latter two cages have been prepared experimentally. On the basis of the negative and rather large nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS), closo-B_nH_n−2(CO)₂ are aromatic. To aid further experimental study, the CO stretching frequencies have been computed.     

Anwendung von mathematischen statistischen methoden für einige probleme der quantitativen emissionsspektralanalyse

The standard deviation of the ΔY-values of an analytical line pair is discussed in function of the correlation and orthogonal regression coefficients as well as of the standard deviations of Y_x and Y_r.

It was stated that the orthogonal regression coefficient depends on the ratio s_x/s_r.

A criterium is set up for choosing the right analytical line pair. The optimal field for the values ^sδy is given in function of the ratio s_x/s_r as well as of the correlation coefficient.

通过共沉淀法制得类球形锂离子电池正极材料LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂,并用非水相共沉法对其进行CoAl₂O₄包覆得到LNCMO(x). 采用X射线衍射（XRD）、扫描电子显微术（SEM）和透射电子显微术（TEM）测试材料的结构和观察材料形貌. 结果表明,CoAl₂O₄在材料表面形成8 nm均匀包覆层,未改变主体材料的结构. 电化学性能测试表明,1%（by mass）CoAl₂O₄包覆量的LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2材料（LNCMO(1)）高充电电压（3.0 ~ 4.6 V,150 mA·g^-1）100周期循环放电容量保持率为93.7%（无包覆LNCMO(0)保持率为74.4%）;55 °C高温100周期循环容量保持率为77%（无包覆LNCMO(0)保持率17%）. XRD和电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱（ICP-AES）测试表明,CoAl₂O₄包覆的LNCMO(x)材料可有效地减缓材料中Mn离子在电解液的溶解,提高材料结构稳定性和热稳定性.     

拉曼光谱法研究Na+, Mg2+//SO42-, Cl-, H2O四元体系中SO42-离子缔合结构特征及其变化规律

复杂水盐体系存在稳态和介稳固液相平衡以及复杂的成盐规律。为了解固液平衡状态下液相的结构特征,本文采用拉曼光谱技术并结合高斯-洛伦兹去卷积分峰拟合程序对Na⁺, Mg²⁺//SO₄^2-, Cl^-, H₂O四元体系及其二元和三元子体系中ν₁-SO₄^2-的离子缔合结构特征进行了分析。研究结果表明:SO₄^2-在Na₂SO₄-H₂O体系存在自由态SO₄^2-和SO₄^2-离子簇两种结构,在MgSO₄-H₂O, MgSO₄-MgCl₂-H₂O及Na⁺, Mg²⁺//SO₄^2-, Cl^-, H₂O等含镁体系中,还有Mg²⁺-H₂O-SO₄^2-和Mg²⁺-OSO₃^2-两种缔合结构。在二元和三元体系中ν₁-SO₄^2-的离子缔合结构以自由态SO₄^2-为主,随着SO₄^2-离子总浓度的变化,上述四种结构所占比例会发生规律性变化。Na⁺, Mg²⁺//SO₄^2-, Cl^-, H₂O四元体系在NaCl减少及等温蒸发过程中,自由态SO₄^2-结构比例逐步降低, Mg²⁺和SO₄^2-相结合形成Mg²⁺-H₂O-SO₄^2-或Mg²⁺-OSO₃^2-结构的机会增多,在复盐区还会形成SO₄^2-离子簇结构。由此判断溶液结构的适应性变化是导致介稳现象的重要原因。进一步的相关分析表明:SO₄^2-的浓度和耶涅克指数J与ν₁-SO₄^2-峰的峰强度和峰面积存在正相关关系, Mg²⁺浓度是影响ν₁-SO₄^2-峰中四种缔合结构的比例发生变化的主要因素。     

Thermodynamics of (1,4-difluorobenzene + an n-alkane) and of (hexafluorobenzene + an n-alkane)

Excess molar enthalpies H^E and excess molar volumes V^E have been measured, as a function of mole fraction x₁, at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure for the five liquid mixtures (x₁1,4-C₆H₄F₂ + x₂n-C_lH_2l+2), l = 7, 8, 10, 12 and 16. In addition, H^E and excess molar heat capacities C_P^E at constant pressure have been determined for the two liquid mixtures (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C_lH_2l+2), l = 7 and 14, at the same temperature and pressure. The instruments used were flow microcalorimeters of the Picker design (the H^E version was equipped with separators) and a vibrating-tube densimeter, respectively.

The excess enthalpies of the five difluorobenzene mixtures are all positive and quite large; they increase with increasing chain length l of the n-alkane from H^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(J mol⁻¹) = 1050 for l = 7 to 1359 for l = 16. The corresponding excess volumes V^E are all positive and also increase with increasing l: V^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(cm³ mol⁻¹) = 0.650 for l = 7 and 1.080 for l = 16. Interestingly, the excess enthalphies of the corresponding mixtures with hexafluorobenzene are only about 5% larger, whereas the excess volumes of (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C_lH_2l+2) are roughly twice as large as those of their counterparts in the series containing 1,4-C₆H₄F₂. Specifically, at 298.15 K H^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(J mol⁻¹) = 1119 for (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₇H₁₆) and 1324 for (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₁₄H₃₀), and for the same mixtures V^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(cm³ mol⁻¹) = 1.882 and 2.093, respectively. The excess heat capacities for both systems are negative and of about the same magnitude as the excess heat capacities of mixtures of fluorobenzene with the same n-alkanes (Roux et al., 1984): C_P^E(x₁ = 0.5)/(J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹) = −1.18 for (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₇H₁₆), and −2.25 for (x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₁₄H₃₀). The curve C_P^E vs. (x₁ for x₁C₆F₆ + x₂n-C₁₄H₃₀) shows a sort of “hump” for x₁ 0.5, which is presumed to indicate emerging W-shape composition dependence at lower temperatures.     

Thermodynamic studies of the solvation of Ph4AsPh4B in mixed solvents (MeOH—DMF)

The thermodynamic data (ΔG⁰, ΔH⁰ and TΔS⁰) of the solvation of tetraphenylarsonium-tetraphenylborate (Ph₄AsPh₄B) and its neutral parts, tetraphenylgermanium (Ph₄Ge) and tetraphenylmethane (Ph₄C) in methanol—N,N-dimethylformamide mixed solvents are discussed.

The values of the free energy of transfer, Δ^s_MG⁰, are calculated from measurements of the solubilities of Ph₄AsPh₄B, Ph₄Ge and Ph₄C in the successive fractions of MeOH in DMF at three different temperatures (15, 25, 35°C). The values of Δ^s_MH⁰ and TΔ^s_MS⁰ for the derivatives are calculated from Δ^s_MG⁰ values.

The values of Δ^s_MG⁰, Δ^s_MH⁰ and TΔ^s_MS⁰ of tetraphenylarsonium and tetraphenylborate ions have also been carefully calculated. The ratios of Δ^s_MG⁰ values (Δ^s_MG⁰ = ΔG⁰(+)/ΔG⁰(−)) were found to be greater than unity. Similarly, the ratios of Δ^s_MH⁰ and TΔ^s_MS⁰ for the positive and negative ions were found to be greater than unity.

At 0.1 C discharging rate, it is capable of delivering reversible specific capacity of 163.8 mAh/g with fairly stable cycleability.     

MXene-碳黑/硫复合材料在锂硫电池一体式电极的研究

锂硫电池的实际能量密度不高和多硫化物（LiPSs）的穿梭效应等问题严重影响了该电池的实际应用。本文通过将二维的Ti₃C₂T_x Mxene纳米片与碳黑/硫（CB/S）材料进行混合,制备了Ti₃C₂T_x-CB/S正极材料并将其涂覆在商业隔膜（PP）上,最终获得了Ti₃C₂T_x-CB/S-PP一体式电极并用于锂硫电池。利用Ti₃C₂T_x纳米片对CB/S进行修饰,不仅能提高活性物质硫的导电性,还能对扩散的LiPSs进行物理阻挡和化学吸附。而一体式电极的设计有利于提高电池的能量密度。恒流充放电测试结果表明,Ti₃C₂T_x-CB/S-PP电极在0.1 C电流下的初始放电容量为1028.8 mAh·g^-1,高于不含Ti₃C₂T_x的CB/S-PP电极的896.8 mAh·g^-1。Ti₃C₂T_x-CB/S-PP电极还展示出了比基于传统铝箔集流体的Ti₃C₂T_x-CB/S-Al电极更好的循环稳定性,前者在0.5 C下400圈长循环测试中的每圈衰减率为0.072%,而后者则为更高的0.10%。本文利用Ti₃C₂T_x-CB/S构建一体式电极的策略为实现高性能和高能量密度的锂硫电池提供了新的研究方向。     

PHOTOCHEMICAL HYDROXYLATION OF 7,8-DIMETHYLALLOXAZINE (LUMICHROME)-A FLASH PHOTOLYSIS STUDY

Abstract— Flash photolysis experiments on the hydroxylation of lumichrome (L) in aqueous 0.5 M H₂SO₄ solution in the presence of O₂ or Ni²⁺ as triplet quenchers and quantum yield measurements confirm the assignment of the photoreactive species to the protonated form of the excited singlet state. A mechamism concerning the photochemical step is proposed, accounting for the formation of protonated 9-hydroxy-5,10-dihydrolumichrome (LOH₃⁺). This primary stable photoproduct was characterized by spectral and kinetic data. The dark reactions originating from LOH₃⁺ were investigated, and data regarding the successive steps are presented. The reaction LOH₃⁺ L→ LO + LH₃⁺ is demonstrated to be a two-electron reduction. The rate constant for the reaction of LH₂⁺ with O₂ is much larger than that for the oxidation of LH₃⁺ by oxygen.     

2,4-二硫代尿嘧啶的紫外吸收光谱和共振拉曼光谱

硫代嘧啶碱基是光动力疗法潜在的重要光敏剂,其最低单重激发态的光物理研究已有广泛报道。然而,其较高激发态的跃迁性质和反应动力学研究较为稀少。因此,本文采用共振拉曼光谱和密度泛函理论计算方法研究2,4-二硫代尿嘧啶的紫外光谱和几个较高单重激发态的短时结构动力学。首先,基于共振拉曼光谱强度与电子吸收带振子强度f的关系,将紫外光谱去卷积成四个吸收带,分别为358 nm(f=0.0336)中等强度吸收带(A带),338 nm(f=0.1491)、301 nm(f=0.1795)和278 nm(f=0.3532)强而宽的吸收带(B、C和D带)。这一结果既吻合密度泛函理论计算结果,又符合共振拉曼光谱强度模式对紫外光谱带的预期。据此,去卷积得到的四个吸收带被分别指认为S0→S2跃迁、S0→S6跃迁、S0→S7跃迁和S_0→S_8跃迁。同时,分别对B,C和D带共振拉曼光谱进行了详细的指认,获得了短时动力学信息。结果表明,S_8态短时动力学的显著特征是在Franck-Condon区域或附近发生了S8(ππ~*)/S(nπ~*)势能面交叉引发的、伴随超快结构扭转的非绝热过程。S7和S6态短时动力学的主要特征是反应坐标的多维性,它们分别沿C_5C_6/C_2S_8/C_4S_(10)/N_2C_3+C_4N_3H_9/N_1C_2N_3/C_2N_1C_6/C_6N_1H_7/C_5C_6H_(12)和C_5C_6/N_3C_2/C_4S_(10)/C_2S_8+C_6N_1H_7/C_5C_6H_(12)/C_5C_6N_1/C_5C_6H_(12)/C_2N_1C_6/N_1C_2N_3/C_4N_3H_9/N_1C_2N_3等内坐标演化。     

异质结型光催化膜的活性及其机理研究

采用浸渍提拉法制得TiO₂,ZnO,Fe₂O₃,ZnO/TiO₂,TiO₂/ZnO,Fe₂O₃/TiO₂和TiO₂/Fe₂O₃石英玻璃基底负载膜.光催化降解亚甲基蓝实验表明,TiO₂和ZnO具有良好的光催化活性,Fe₂O₃活性较差.但形成异质结后,TiO₂和Fe₂O₃的光催化降解能力发生明显的变化.用254nm紫外光光照后,TiO₂,ZnO和Fe₂O₃等3种氧化物膜与水的接触角均有不同程度的降低,TiO₂表现出超亲水性,ZnO/TiO₂和Fe₂O₃/TiO₂膜与水的接触角小于对应的单纯ZnO和Fe₂O₃膜与水的接触角,其中Fe₂O₃/TiO₂表面出现超亲水性.瞬态光电导谱的少数载流子寿命的测定表明,异质结势垒电场能有效地增强光生电子-空穴对的分离效率.根据能带理论建立的两组异质结能带模型可合理地解释实验结果.     

Mg改性对Co/γ-Al2O3-TiO2催化燃烧丙烷性能影响

采用分步浸渍法制备了系列Mg改性的Co/γ-Al_2O_3-TiO_2催化剂,通过X射线衍射(XRD)、紫外可见漫反射光谱(DR-UV-vis)、N_2吸附-脱附(BET)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和H_2程序升温还原(H_2-TPR)等技术对催化剂进行表征,并考察了其对丙烷燃烧的催化性能。结果表明,Co在原始γ-Al_2O_3-TiO_2载体和Mg改性MgO/γ-Al_2O_3-TiO_2载体上均以Co_3O_4的形式存在;Mg掺入后与Al_2O_3作用形成MgAl_2O_4尖晶石,改善了载体的织构性质,提升了Co_3O_4在催化剂载体表面的暴露数量和分散程度。此外,MgAl_2O_4与Co_3O_4相互作用提升了Co_3O_4颗粒表面Co~(3+)/Co~(2+)和O_(ads)/O_(latt)的比例,并削弱了Co-O键键能,从而提升了其对丙烷的催化燃烧活性。当Mg负载量为15%(质量分数)时,在Co/MgO(15%)/γ-Al_2O_3-TiO_2催化剂上进行丙烷燃烧,丙烷90%转化率的温度比无Mg掺杂的Co/γ-Al_2O_3-TiO_2催化剂的降低了45℃,并且连续反应40 h其活性保持稳定。     

Update of the anharmonic force field parameters of the ozone molecule

A new set of spectroscopic constants of the ¹⁶O₃ molecule (ω_i, x_ij, y_ijk, γ^DD, _i^X, β_ij^X,…), which determine vibrational dependence of band centres and rotational parameters, is derived from recent accurate analysis of high-resolution experimental ro-vibrational spectra through the theoretical approach based on second-order perturbation expansions in normal coordinates accounting for Darling–Dennison resonance interactions. These values are used to update empirical values of anharmonic coefficients (k_ijl, k_ijlm) of the potential function expansion in normal coordinates. Quadratic f_rr, f_r, f_rr′, f as well as cubic f_rst and quartic f_rstl force constants in internal (bond lengths, bond angle) coordinates are also derived. A detailed discussion is devoted to the accuracy of parameter determination for each of four steps of calculations. It is emphasised that the conventional method based on the inversion of formulae of the perturbation theory gives the largest uncertainties at the last step of calculations: the determination of the anharmonic force field in internal coordinates.     

Cu掺杂对Pt/Ba/CuxMg1-xAl2O4催化剂高温稀燃NOx消除性能的影响

制备了一系列不同Cu掺杂量的Pt/Ba/Cu_xMg_1-xAl₂O₄(x=0, 0.1, 0.3)催化剂, 将其应用于高温NO_x储存还原(NSR)反应, 并探究了Cu掺杂量对催化剂NO_x消除性能的影响. 结果表明, 储存组分BaCO₃在NSR过程中存在再分散现象. 高温时催化剂的NO_x消除性能取决于其NO_x储存量, 而不是NO氧化和NO_x还原性能. 高温时催化剂的NO_x储存量与其上硝酸盐的热稳定性密切相关, Pt/Ba/MgAl₂O₄上NO_x主要以离子态硝酸盐形式存在, 而掺杂Cu后催化剂上的NO_x又增加了单齿硝酸盐的存在形式, 单齿硝酸盐具有更高的热稳定性, 因此掺Cu催化剂具有更大的NO_x储存量. 在450~500 ℃范围内, Cu的掺杂显著提高了Pt/Ba/MgAl₂O₄的NO_x消除性能; Pt/Ba/Cu_0.1Mg_0.9Al₂O₄催化剂的性能最佳, 450 ℃时的NO_x消除效率高达90%.     

THE REACTION OF METHYLENE WITH HYDROGEN

Abstract— An investigation has been made of the reaction between methylene, formed by the photolysis of ketene, and hydrogen. Ethane, ethylene and methane are the major hydrocarbon products, and it has been shown that the formation of these products may be adequately described by the sequence of processes
CH₂CO + hv → CH₂+ CO (1)
CH₂+ H₂→ CH₃+H (2)
2CH₃→ C₂H₆ (3)
CH₃+ H₂+ CH₄+ H (4)
CH₂+ CH₂CO → C₂H₄+ CO (7)
In particular, the relative rates of ethane and methane formation are consistent with the known rate constants for reactions (3) and (4), and it is not therefore necessary to postulate the participation of an 'insertion' process
CH₂+ H₂→ CH₄ (6) to account for the formation of methane.
Decrease of the energy possessed by the methylene, either by increase of the wavelength of ketene photolysis, or by increase of gas pressure, is shown to result in an increase in the reactivity of the methylene towards ketene relative to its reactivity towards hydrogen (i.e. the ratio k₂/k₂ increases).     

DETERMINATION OF SINGLET OXYGEN RATE CONSTANTS IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS

Abstract— A very efficient quenching of singlet oxygen (¹O₂) by N₃^- ions has been applied to the determination of rate constants of reactions of ¹O₂ with various substrates (A). This determination has been made possible by choosing experimental conditions which give simple competition between N₃^- and A for ¹O₂ formed in the steady state irradiation of convenient sensitizing dye (S). The consumption of oxygen by the substrate, as followed with an oxygen analyzer, decreases in the presence of low concentrations of N₃^-. Using neutral air saturated aqueous solutions containing the dye phenosafranine + A and varying concentrations of N₃^-, the ¹O₂ rate constants for reactions with biological substrates and some radiation protective agents have been determined.     

O2/CO2气氛下CO2和H2O气化反应对煤及煤焦燃烧特性的影响

利用热天平对比研究了大同煤及煤焦在O₂/N₂、O₂/CO₂和O₂/H₂O/CO₂中的燃烧行为,探讨CO₂和H₂O气化反应对其富氧燃烧特性的影响。结果表明,在5%氧气浓度下,煤粉在O₂/N₂、O₂/CO₂和O₂/H₂O/CO₂中的燃烧速率按顺序依次降低。氧气浓度降低到2%,由于CO₂和H₂O气化反应的作用,煤粉在高温区的整体反应速率按顺序依次增大。当氧气浓度为5%时,煤焦在O₂/CO₂中的燃烧速率要低于O₂/N₂中的燃烧速率,但燃烧反应推迟后气化反应的参与使得煤焦在O₂/H₂O/CO₂中的整体反应速率显著升高。当氧气浓度降低到2%后,随着温度的升高,在CO₂气化反应的作用下,煤焦在O₂/CO₂中的整体反应速率逐渐高于O₂/N₂中的燃烧速率。在O₂/H₂O/CO₂中,由于H₂O在共气化中起主要作用,煤焦在O₂/H₂O/CO₂高温区的整体反应速率进一步升高。动力学分析表明,在5%氧浓度时,煤焦在O₂/N₂、O₂/CO₂和O₂/H₂O/CO₂中的表观活化能依次升高。随着氧气浓度的降低,在不同反应气氛中的表观活化能均有所下降。     

用恒温热重法测定1-己基-3-甲基咪唑苏氨酸离子液体[C6mim][Thr]蒸汽压和蒸发焓

用中和法合成了氨基酸离子液体(AAIL)1-己基-3-甲基苏氨酸盐[C₆mim][Thr],并用核磁共振氢谱(¹H NMR)和核磁共振碳谱(¹³C NMR)进行了表征。以苯甲酸为参考物质,用恒温热重法确定了AAIL[C₆mim][Thr]的蒸汽压和在平均温度下(T_av= 438.15 K)的蒸发焓(Δ^g_lH_m^? (T_av) =128.5 ± 6.0 kJ·mol^-1)。利用Verevkin等人提出的方法计算得到AAIL[C₆mim][Thr]气态和液态的恒压热容差(Δ^g_lC_pm^? = -70.8 J·K^-1·mol^-1),进而计算了不同温度的蒸发焓,其中参考温度(298.15 K)下的蒸发焓Δ^g_lH_m^? (298.15 K) = 138.4 kJ·mol^-1,只比应用我们提出的蒸发焓理论模型估算值大1.6 kJ·mol^-1,小于恒温热重法的实验误差3.0 kJ·mol^-1,说明这个蒸发焓的理论模型有一定的合理性。借助Clausius-Clapeyron方程估算了AAIL[C₆mim][Thr]的假想的正常沸点T_b= 522.07 K,以及沸点的蒸发熵Δ^g_lS_m^? (T_b) = 228.5 J·K^-1·mol^-1,进一步得到了不同温度的蒸发熵和蒸发自由能Δ^g_lG_m^? (T),其结果表明蒸发自由能随着温度的上升而减小,达到沸点温度T_b时变为零,而蒸发熵则随着温度上升而增大,是AAIL[C₆mim][Thr]蒸发过程的驱动力。     

CHEMILUMINESCENCE AND THE FORMATION OF SINGLET OXYGEN IN THE OXIDATION OF CERTAIN POLYPHENOLS AND QUINONES

Abstract— The possibility of ¹O₂ (¹Δ_g) participation in the oxidation of polyphenols and quinones has been investigated in two systems: (1) the system involving autooxidation leading to oxidative polymerization and destruction, and (2) the modified Trautz-Schorigin reaction, i.e. oxidation of polyphenols and HCHO with H₂O₂ in concentrated alkaline solutions. The red band with maximum at 635 nm observed in chemiluminescence of pyrocatechol, adrenaline, pyrogallol, gallic acid, adrenochrome and p -benzoquinone corresponds to the transition 2O₂(¹Δ_g) → 2O₂(³Σ^-_g). Emission bands in the range 475–540 nm arise from the superposition of the 2O₂(¹Δ_g) → 2O₂(³Σ^-_g) transition and radiative deactivation of excited oxidation products. In system (2) chemiluminescence has a broad band from 580 nm beyond 800 nm and much higher intensity than in system (1). Formaldehyde was found to enhance light emission in system (1) by a factor of about 30. The influence of solvents, including D₂O in which ¹O₂ has varying lifetimes, on kinetics of chemiluminescence as well as quenching effect of β-carotene, hydroquinone, cysteine, bilirubin and biliverdin strongly support the involvement of ¹O₂ in the chemiluminescence of both systems.
