Two pure zinc borates with microporous structure 3ZnO·3B₂O₃·3.5H₂O and 6ZnO·5B₂O₃·3H₂O have been synthesized and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TG techniques and chemical analysis. The molar enthalpies of solution of 3ZnO·3B₂O₃·3.5H₂O(s) and 6ZnO·5B₂O₃·3H₂O(s) in 1 mol · dm⁻³ HCl(aq) were measured by microcalorimeter at T = 298.15 K, respectively. The molar enthalpies of solution of ZnO(s) in the mixture solvent of 2.00 cm³ of 1 mol · dm⁻³ HCl(aq) in which 5.30 mg of H₃BO₃ were added were also measured. With the incorporation of the previously determined enthalpy of solution of H₃BO₃(s) in 1 mol · dm⁻³ HCl(aq), together with the use of the standard molar enthalpies of formation for ZnO(s), H₃BO₃(s), and H₂O(l), the standard molar enthalpies of formation of −(6115.3 ± 5.0) kJ · mol⁻¹ for 3ZnO·3B₂O₃·3.5H₂O and −(9606.6 ± 8.5) kJ · mol⁻¹ for 6ZnO·5B₂O₃·3H₂O at T = 298.15 K were obtained on the basis of the appropriate thermochemical cycles.     

Synthesis, physical–chemical, and catalytic properties of mixed compositions Ag/H3PMo12O40/SiO2

Deposited catalysts composition H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀/SiO₂ and Ag/H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀/SiO₂ have been synthesized on the basis of fumed silica, including milling technique. Physical–chemical characteristics of prepared catalysts have been studied by means of XRD, DTA-TG, FTIR, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and adsorption of nitrogen. Catalysts possess meso- or meso-macroporous structure and contain deposited Keggin heteropolycompounds. Deposition of heteropolycompounds on support with high specific surface area results in increase of selectivity to epoxide in epoxidation reactions. The use of milling during catalyst synthesis leads to further growth of selectivity of epoxides formation.

Crystal structure and catalytic properties of a vanadium complex cis-[VO2(Him-py)(im-py)]2·3H2O

Abstract

The coordination behavior of Him-py (2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine) toward vanadium has been explored. The six-coordinate complex, cis-[VO₂(Him-py)(im-py)]₂·3H₂O (1), was synthesized by the coordination reaction of NH₄VO₃ and Him-py in the aqueous methanol solution, which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray technology. It belongs to the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a?=?8.0756(6), b?=?19.3531(15), c?=?11.4433(8), β?=?106.905(2), V?=?1711.2(2), and Z?=?2. The crystal structure shows that the six-coordinate vanadium is bonded to two cis-oxido ligands and two bidentate ligands, Him-py and im-py. Interestingly, when crystals of 1 were immersed in H₂O₂, a peroxovanadium compound, (H₂im-py)[OV(O₂)₂(Him-py)] (2), was obtained, which crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2 with a?=?22.600(2), b?=?22.7259(13), c?=?18.0146(11), V?=?9252.4(12), and Z?=?16, and consists of a seven-coordinate peroxovanadate(V) ion, one Him-py and one H₂im-py ligand. Moreover, we also studied the catalytic activity of 1 in the oxidative bromination of phenol/aniline-like compounds towards mimicking bromoperoxidase reactivity.

Preparation of 2CaO·3B2O3·H2O nanomaterials and evaluation of their flame retardant properties by a thermal analysis method

Different morphologies of calcium borate 2CaO·3B₂O₃·H₂O, nanoribbon, bundle-like nanostructure and fan-shaped non-nanostructure, have been prepared under hydrothermal conditions, which were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TGA and SEM. Their flame retardant properties to the polypropylene were investigated by thermal analysis method (including TG, DSC and non-isothermal decomposition kinetics) and oxygen index method. With the decrease in TG mass loss, the increase in heat absorption for DSC in N₂ atmosphere, the increase in LOI values, and the increase in apparent activation energy E_a, the flame retardant properties of prepared 2CaO·3B₂O₃·H₂O samples increased gradually from non-nanostructure to bundle-like nanostructure and then to nanoribbon. This trend may be ascribed to their sizes being decreased accordingly. The flame retarding mechanism has been proposed. The mechanical property of polypropylene/2CaO·3B₂O₃·H₂O composite material has also been evaluated. It can be predicted that 2CaO·3B₂O₃·H₂O nanoribbon could serve as an excellent flame retardant.

     

Theoretical studies on reactions of the stabilized H2COO with HO2 and the HO2···H2O complex

The reactions of H(2)COO with HO(2) and the HO(2)···H(2)O complex are studied by employing the high-level quantum chemical calculations with B3LYP and CCSD(T) theoretical methods, the conventional transition-state theory (CTST), and the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) with Eckart tunneling correction. The calculated results show that the proton transfer plus the addition reaction channel (TS1A) is preferable for the reaction of H(2)COO with HO(2) because the barriers are -10.8 and 1.6 kcal/mol relative to the free reactants and the prereactive complex, respectively, at the CCSD(T)/6-311++G(3df,2p)//B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Furthermore, the rate constant via TS1A (2.23 × 10(-10) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1)) combined with the concentrations of the species in the atmosphere demonstrates that the HO(2) radical would be the dominant sink of H(2)COO in some areas, where the concentration of water is less than 10(17) molecules cm(-3). In addition, although the single water molecule would lower the activated barrier of TS1A from 1.0 to 0.1 kcal/mol with respect to the respective complexes, the rate constant is lower than that of the reaction of HO(2) with H(2)COO.
