Determination of reaction heat on the hydrolytic polymerization of chromium(Ⅲ) ion by microcalorimetric method

Thermochemistry is the study of the energy changes which occur during a chemi-cal reaction. For example, in the hydrolytic polymerization of Cr~(3+), Cr[Cr(OH)_2]~(4+),Cr[Cr(OH)_2]_2~(5+) and Cr[Cr(OH)_2]_3~(6+) were formed at concentration range of 0.005-0.04     

铬(Ⅲ)离子在水溶液中的状态

Cr~(3+)的水解聚合作用很慢,聚合状态又很复杂,故至今系统研究极少。我们在Cr~(3+)浓度为0.0002—0.32M范围内用平衡静置pH法系统地研究了Cr~(3+)的水解聚合状态。结果表明,在低浓度区,水解多核产物的组成可表示为[Cr_3(OH)_4](OH)_n~((5-n)+)(n=1,2,3);在中等浓度区,产物为Cr[Cr(OH)_2]_n~((3+n)+)(n=1,2,3);在高浓度区,产物为Cr[Cr(OH)]_n~((3+2n)+)(n=1,2);而在中等浓度区和高浓度区之间有一过渡区,其水解产物为[Cr_3(OH)_3]~(6+)和[Cr_3(OH)_4]~(5+)。对同一种水解产物,在不同的Cr~(3+)浓度区和用不同的计算方法所得的水解常数互相符合得较好。根据所得水解常数作出了Cr~(3+)在水溶液中状态的优势面积图。     

Cr^3^+的水解聚合作用IV.两种"根+节"体系之间的过渡状态

The hydrolytic polymerization of chromium (III) ion in 0.040, 0.060, 0.080 and 0.160M Cr(NO3)3 solutions was studied pH-metrically in the medium of 0.5M NaNO3 at 40+/-1 C. The average number of OH- bound per Cr^3^+ at different pH was designated as Z, the gighest value of Z was found to be about 1.0. A family of curves of Z(pH)B, each at a definite concentration B of Cr(NO3)3, was obtained. The values of both B and pH were determined from the curves and a linear relationship between -lgB and pH was found for each value of Z. From the slope of each curve of-lgB(pH)z, a value of t was obtained, which increased from 1.51 to 2.06 when Z increased from 0.10 to 1.0. This implied that the polymerized hudrolysis products were of mixed types. The data of different Z value were treated by three different methods, namely, "core + links" method, project strip method and "homoligand formation constant" method. The results obtained showed the existence of "core + links" compounds not only with two hydroxyl bridges as Cr (Cr(OH)2)n^(^3^+^n^)^+(n = 1,2,3) but also with both one and two hydroxy bridges as Cr3(OH)3, indicating that the present system was a transition from t = 2 to t = 1. The hydrolysis constants of the above compounds are as follows: lgβ = -4.19, lgβ33 = -5.28, lgβ = -8.23, lgβ64 = 12.28. The above results are in agreement with those obtained at low and medium concentration of Cr(NO3)3. Furthermore, the constants obtained by means of different methods are in good agreement with each other as well as with those reported in previous papers.     

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF FOUR-ARMED BLOCK POLY(STYRENE-b-p-NITROPHENYL METHACRYLATE)PREPARED BY THE ATRP METHOD*

A novel tetrafunctional initiator, C [CH_2O (CH_2)_3 OOCCH(Br)CH_3]_4 (1), was synthesized through the reaction oftetraol with α-bromopropionyl chloride, and then was used as initiator of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in thepreparation of 4-armed polystyrene (PSt) with narrow polydispersity. The structure, molecular weight and molecular weightdistribution (MWD) of each arm were studied by ~1H-NMR and GPC data of hydrolyzed products of the 4-armed PSt. TheATRP of St using 1/CuBr/bpy as initiator system is of "living" character based on the following evidence: narrow MWD,constant concentration of chain radical during the polymerization, control of molecular weight by the molar ratio of monomerconsumed to 1. The 4-armed poly(St-b-p-nitrophenyl methacrylate) [poly(St-b-NPMA)] was prepared by the ATRP ofNPMA using 4-armed PSt with terminal bromine as the initiator, and characterized by FT-IR, ~1H-NMR spectra and GPCcurves. The micelles with PSt as core, and PNPMA as shell were formed by dropping DMSO into a solution of 4-armedpoly(St-b-NPMA) in DMF, as proved by laser light scatter (LLS) method.

Mercuric ions induced aggregation of gold nanoparticles as investigated by localized surface plasmon resonance light scattering and dynamic light scattering techniques

With the development of nanosciences, both localized surface plasmon resonance light scattering (LSPR-LS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques have been widely used for quantitative purposes with high sensitivity. In this contribution, we make a comparison of the two light scattering techniques by employing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) aggregation induced by mercuric ions. It was found that citrate-stabilized AuNPs got aggregated in aqueous medium in the presence of mercuric ions through a chelation process, resulting in greatly enhanced LSPR-LS signals and increased hydrodynamic diameter. The enhanced LSPR-LS intensity ( I) is proportional to the concentration of mercuric ions in the range of 0.4-2.5 M following the linear regression equation of I = 84.7+516.4c, with the correlation coefficient of 0.983 (n = 6) and the limit of determination (3 ) about 0.10 M. On the other hand, the increased hydrodynamic diameter can be identified by the DLS signals only with a concentration of Hg 2+ in the range of 1.0-2.5 M, and a linear relationship between the average hydrodynamic diameters of the resulted aggregates and the concentration of Hg 2+ can be expressed as d = 6.16 + 45.9c with the correlation coefficient of 0.994. In such case, LSPR-LS signals were further applied to the selective determination of mercuric ions in lake water samples with high sensitivity and simple operation.     

Ionothermal Synthesis and Characterization of a Three-dimensional Anionic Zinc-5-sulfoisophthalate Framework Charge-balanced with the 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium

The ionothermal reaction of Zn(NO_3)_2·6H_2O with 5-sulfoisophthalic acid monosodium salt(NaH_2SIP) and 1,2,4-triazole in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate(EMIM-BF_4) ionic liquid has afforded the compound {(EMIM)[Zn(SIP)]}_n(1).The Zn(Ⅱ) ions are linked by the carboxylate groups of SIP~(3-) ligands to give a two-dimensional layered structure featuring the centrosymmetric dinuclear Zn_2(μ_2-COO)_2 units.The adjacent two-dimensional layers are further linked by the Zn-0 bonds between the Zn(Ⅱ) ions and the sulfonate O atoms to generate a three-dimensional anionic[Zn(SIP)]_n~(n-) framework featuring one-dimensional open channels propagating along the a axis.The imidazolium cations[EMIM]~+ derived from ionic liquid act as extraframework charge-balancing species for the anionic[Zn(SIP)]_n~(n-) framework and occupy the void space of the one-dimensional open channels.The rich ionic environments of the ionic liquid may be particularly helpful in the formation of the ionic compound 1.The roles of the ionic liquid in ionothermal synthesis and crystallization of the compound are briefly discussed.Furthermore,compound 1 displays a photoluminescent emission at 490 nm upon excitation at 406 nm.

[η_5-OH_3C(O)C_5H_4Cr(CO)_2]_2S 1, [η~5-CH_3O_2CC_5H_4Cr(CO)_2]_2S 2 and [η~5-C_2H_5O_2CC_5H_4Cr(CO)_2]_2S 3 were prepared by the reactions of corresponding sodium salts of functional η~5-cyclopentadienyl-tricarbonylchromium anions with SOCl_2. Reduction of 1 with NaBH_4 prdouced [η~5-CH_3CH(OH)C_5H_4Cr(CO)_2]_2S 4, while saponification of 2 followed by acidification and recrystallization from acetone afforded [η~5-HO_2CC_5H_4Cr(CO)_2]_2S·nCH_3C·(O)CH_3 5. 1—5 are a new class of Cr≡S triple bond compounds containing functional organic group on the cyclopentadienyl ring. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 1 revealed that it consists of two identical organometallic fragments η~5-CH_3C(O)C_5H_4Cr(CO)_2 joined together by a sulfur atom via triple bonds. The geometry of structural unit Cr≡S≡Cr belongs to linearity and the average triple bond length of Cr≡S is 2.072(?).     

Hydrolysis Process of the Anticancer Agents Novel Non-classical trans-Platinum(Ⅱ) with Aliphatic Amines

The hydrolysis process of the anticancer agents novel non-classical trans- platinum(Ⅱ ) with aliphatic amines and the influence of solvent models therein have been studied by using hybrid density functional theory (B3LYP). In this study, the stepwise hydrolysis, trans- [PtCl2(Am)(isopropylamine)] + 2H2O → trans-[Pt(Am)(isopropylamine)(OH2)2]2+ + 2Cl-, was explored. Implicit solvent effects were incorporated through polarized continuum models. The stationary points on the potential energy surfaces for the first and second hydrolysis steps, proceeding via a general SN2 pathway, were fully optimized and characterized. It was found that the first hydrolysis reaction is easier than the second one and the hydrolysis of trans-[PtCl2- (isopropylamine)2] is the easiest in our studying systems. The result can assist in under-tanding the hydrolysis mechanism of trans-[PtCl2(Am)(isopropylamine)] and designing novel Pt-based anticancer drugs.     

Subsolidus binary phase diagram of the bilayer compounds [n-C_nH_(2n+1)N(CH_3)_3]_2ZnCl_4(n = 16, 18)

The bilayer compounds[n-CnH2n+1N(CH3)3]2Zn Cl4(n=16,18)experience solid-solid phase transition within the temperature range of 310 to 340 K.The low-temperature crystal structures of the pure compounds are characteristic of the piling effect in which a 2D macro-anion Zn Cl42- is sandwiched between two alkylammonium layers.These layers become conformationally disordered in the high-temperature phases.The structures can alternatively be viewed as a double layer of alkylammonium ions between Zn Cl42- sheets and can be considered as crystalline models of lipid bilayers.The experimental subsolidus binary phase diagram of[n-C16H33N(CH3)3]2Zn Cl4-[n-C18H37N(CH3)3]2Zn Cl4 has also been established over the whole composition range by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)and X-ray diffraction.In the phase diagram,one intermediate compound[n-C16H33N(CH3)3][n-C18H37N(CH3)3]Zn Cl4 at WC16C3Zn%47.50 and two eutectoid invariants points at WC16C3Zn%35.10 and75.70 were observed;the respective temperatures of the two eutectoids are 320±1 and 315±1 K.In addition,there are three noticeable solid solution ranges in the phase diagram:α-phase at the left,β-phase at the right,andγ-phase in the middle.

The removal of heavy metals is up to 99%.     

Fabrication and Photoelectrochemical Properties of [Ru(bpy)2dppz]2+ on ITO Electrode Associated with the Oxidation of Guanine

<正>Electrochemical assembly of[Ru(bpy)_2dppz]~(2+){bpy=2,2'-bipyridine,dppz=dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine} on an ITO electrode in the presence of guanine and photoelectrochemical properties of the assembled layer were investigated.It has been found that[Ru(bpy)_2dppz]~(3+/2+) can be assembled onto the ITO electrode by the method of repetitive voltammetric sweeping,and the assembly is enhanced by guanine.The peak currents of prewaves increase linearly up to a guanine concentration of 0.25 mmol/L.More importantly,upon illumination with 470 nm light source and at an applied potential of 0.2 V,cathodic current for the fabricated layer on the ITO electrode indicate a linear enhancement with the rise of guanine concentration.Meanwhile,[Ru(bpy)_2dppz]~(2+) can be served as an excellent mediator to prompt the oxidation of guanine,and the mediated peak current increases linearly with added guanine concentration from 0.01 to 0.25 mmol/L.In addition,the assembly mechanism of[Ru(bpy)_2dppz]~(2+) on the ITO electrode associated with the oxidation of guanine and the assistance of light irradiation were discussed.     

Novel Lanthanide Cluster Polymers Based on Cubane-like [Ln_4(OH)_4]~(8+) Clusters and Sulfate Anions

Two lanthanide-oxo-cluster polymers were synthesized by hydrothermal reaction using Ln_2O_3 as initial lanthanide materials:[Ln_4(SO_4)_4(OH)_4(H_2O)_7]·_4H_2O(Ln = Er 1,Ho 2),and characterized by PXRD,IR spectra,X-ray single-crystal diffraction,2D IR correlation spectra and UV-visible absorption spectra.Single-crystal X-ray analyses reveal that compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural,and they are both crystallized in the orthorhombic system Pccn space group.Compound 1 is a 3D lanthanide cluster polymer based on tetranuclear cubane-like [Er_4(μ_3-OH)_4]~(8+) cations and SO_4~(2-) anions.The overall structure of 1 can be assigned to 6-connected pcu-type topology with the point symbol of(4~(12).6~3).     

Synthesis and Biodegradation of St-g-poly（MMA-co-VAc） Initiated by Manganic Pyrophosphate

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) and vinyl acetate (VAc) were grafted onto corn starch with manganic pyrophosphate { [Mn(H2P2O7)3]^3- } as the initiator and water as the reaction medium, The influences of reaction conditions, including pH value, initiator concentration, monomer concentration and its composition, on percent grafting and grafting efficiency were investigated. The graft copolymer was characterized by means of IR spectroscopy, scanning electron micrograph(SEM) and ^1H NMR spectroscopy. The biodegradation experiment showed that the degradation of corn starch-g-poly(MMA-co-VAc) was mainly from starch. However,after poly VAc in the side chain was transformed into poly vinyl alcohol(PVA), both starch and the grafted side chain could be degraded completely.     

Direct oxidation of methane to oxygenates over heteropolyanions

Partial oxidation of methane to formaldehyde and methanol was studied at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range of 700-750 °C using heteropolycompound catalysts （NH4）6HSiMo11FeO40, （NH4）4PMo11FeO39, and H4PMo11VO40, which were prepared and characterized by various analysis techniques such as infrared, visible UV, XRD and DTA. O2 or N2O was used as the oxidizing agent, and the principal products of the reaction were CH3OH, CH2O, CO, CO2, and water. The conversion and the selectivity of products depend strongly on the reaction temperature, the nature of oxidizing agent, and the composition of catalyst.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Organoboryl Germanium (Ⅱ) Oxides Containing Ge-O-B and Ge-O-B-O-Ge Cores

Organoboryl germanium(Ⅱ) oxides were synthesized from the 1,4-addition reaction of L'Ge(L'=HC[C(CH_2)N(Ar)]C(Me)N(Ar),Ar=2,6-iPr_2C_6H_3) with selected monosubstituted arylboronic acids RB(OH)_2(R=2,6-Me_2C_6H_3,2,4,6-Me_3C_6H_2,1-Naph) at the molar ratios of 1:1 and 2:1.The mononuclear products RB(OH)OGeL(L=CH[C(Me)N(Ar)]_2,Ar=2,6-iPr_2C_6H_3;R=2,6-Me_2C_6H_3(1),2,4,6-Me_3C_6H_2(2),1-Naph(3)) containing the Ge-O-B core were obtained smoothly through the 1:1 reaction.However,the reaction of L'Ge with 2,6-Me_2C_6H_3B(OH)_2 in a 2:1 ratio gave only the mononuclear product(1) instead of the expected binuclear one.What's more,a new borate compound [(2,6-Me_2C_6H_3)_4B_5O_6]~-[H:C]~+(4)(:C=C[N(iPr)C(Me)]_2) was concomitantly formed when the in situ prepared L'Ge was used as the precursor.In contrast,the use of 2,4,6-Me_3C_6H_2B(OH)_2 or1-NaphB(OH)_2 as the organoboryl source in the similar reaction led to the formation and isolation of the binuclear products RB(OGeL)2(R=2,4,6-Me_3C_6H_2(5),1-Naph(6)) containing the Ge-O-B-O-Ge core in a straight way.Compounds 1~6 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Preparation of Aryloxy-aluminoxanes and Their Use as Activators in the Bis(imino)pyridyl Iron-catalyzed Oligomerization of Ethylene

In this study, a series of aryloxy-aluminoxanes originated directly from the hydrolysis of reaction products of AlMe_3 and phenols were synthesized, which could serve as effective polymer-retarding activators for the iron-catalyzed ethylene oligomerization.The molar ratios of [PhOH]/[AlMe_3] and [H_2O]/[Al] during the preparation were explored and their impacts on the oligomerization activity and product distribution were discussed. To obtain the effective activators with good polymer-retarding effect and relatively high activity, the optimized conditions were proposed to be [PhOH]/[AlMe_3] = 0.5 and [H_2O]/[Al] = 0.7. Various aluminoxanes with different[―OH] sources confirmed the importance of using phenols in preparing the effective polymer-retarding activators. By utilizing these aryloxy-aluminoxanes, the mass fraction of polymers in the total products could be reduced to lower than 1.0 wt%, which is much lower than that of the MAO-activated systems( 30 wt%). This is a potential benefit for the industrial application of the iron-catalyzed oligomerization process.     

AgCu(IO_3)_3:Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Magnetic Property

A new mixed metal iodate, namely Ag Cu(IO_3)_3, has been prepared using hydrothermal method. Ag Cu(IO_3)_3 crystallizes in the triclinic group P1 with a = 7.3063(6), b = 7.8050(6), c = 8.2447(6) ?, α = 67.212(7), β = 74.978(7), γ = 80.972(7)°, V = 417.80(6) ?~3 and Z = 2. The structure features one-dimensional [Cu(IO_3)_3]_n~(n-)anionic chains that are separated by Ag~+ cations. Such [Cu(IO_3)_3]_n~(n-)chain is composed of [Cu_2O_(11)]_n chain decorated by unidentate hanging and bidentate bridging iodate groups. Thermal study implies that Ag Cu(IO_3)_3 is thermally stable up to 460 oC and the optical measurement determined the optical band gap of 3.11 eV with a broad absorption band centered at 765 nm. Magnetic investigations show that Ag Cu(IO_3)_3 is a soft ferromagnet.     

ESR SPECTRA OF VO(NCS)_n~((2-n) ) COMPLEXES AND DETERMINATION OF THEIR STABILITY CONSTANTS

The ESR spectra of VO(NCS)_n~((2-n) ) complexes have been studied in this paper. It is shown that four complexes ions of various compositions, VO(NCS)~ , VO(NCS)_2, VO(NCS)_3~- and VO(NCS)_4~(2-), are formed in glyeol-water-mixed media. The parameters of the ESR spectra have been determined. We established a linear correlation between the hyperfine coupling constant and the coordination number n. n=117.66-3.41n (gauss). All the stability constants for various complexes formulated as VO(NCS)_n~((2-n) )(n=1,2,3,4) have been calculated from the ESR spectra, log K_1=2.15; log K_2=1.55; log K_3=0.87; log K_4=0.22. K_3and K_4 have not been reported in literature up to now.     

A Study on Thermal Decomposition of K_3[Fe(CN)_6] and KFe[Fe(CN)_6] in Helium

K3 [Fe(CN)6] and KFe[Fe(CN)6] are classical coordination compounds. However, the mechanism of decomposition reactions has not been well expounded. The gas products of thermal decomposition were examined by gas chroma tography (GC) , and the structure of the solid products by Mossbauer spectroscopy(MS) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). The findings are explained in terms of the theory of coordination chemistry and a decomposition mechanism is proposed in this study. On the basis of various experimental results, the first stage of the decomposition of K3[Fe(CN)6] in He was found to be the evolution of(CN)2 resulting in the reduction of Fe(Ⅲ)12K3 [Fe(CN)6]→9K4[Fe(CN)6] + Fe2 [Fe(CN)6] + 6 ( CN )For KFe [Fe(CN) 6 ], the first stage of decomposition man be represented as6KFe[Fe(CN)6]→3K2Fe[Fe(CN)6] + 2Fe2[Fe(CN)6 + 3(CN)2At higher temperatures, the decomposition of both K3[Fe(CN)6) andKFe[Fe(CN)6] to form KCN and Fe2C was accomplished by the release of(CN)2 and N2.
