In this paper the effect of catalyst and carrier in electric field enhanced plasma on methane conversion into C2 hydrocarbons was investigated. Methane coupling reaction was studied in the system of continuous flow reactor on Ni, MoO3, MnO2 catalysts and different ZSM-5 carriers. The per pass conversion of methane can be as high as 22%, the selectivity of ethylene can be as high as 23.8%, of acetylene 60.8%, of ethane 5.4% and of total C2 hydrocarbons was more than 90%. ZSM-5-25 was the better carrier and MnO2 was the better active component. The efficiency of energy was as high as 7.81%.     

–ONNO–四齿配体负载铜(Ⅱ)配合物的合成与结构研究:环二酯开环聚合的高效催化剂(英文)

The –ONNO– tetradentate Schiff base ligand N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-3- methoxybenzaldehyde) benzene-1,2-diamine(HMBBD) has been synthesized. The ligand was attached to copper(Cu-HMBBD) in methanol under N_2 atmosphere to give a mononuclear complex. The reactivity of this complex in the ring-opening polymerization(ROP) of lactide has been studied. The complex has a square planner geometry, as determined by X-ray diffraction studies. The copper complex is highly active towards the ring-opening polymerization of lactide, and the rate of polymerization is heavily dependent on the initiator used. The copper complex allows controlled ring-opening polymerization, as shown by the linear relationship between the percentage conversion and the number average molecular weight. Based on the literature, a mechanism for the ROP of lactide has been proposed.     

Water-soluble Porphyrin as Temperature Sensor Based on Fluorescent Enhancement

A novel water-soluble porphyrin[5,10,15,20-tetra（3-ethoxy-4-hydroxy-5-sulfonate）phenyl porphyrin, H2TEHPPS] was designed and synthesized, which could be used as a potential fluorescence sensor to detect temperature changes. The studies were performed in solution phase and the concentration of H2TEHPPS was 2.0×10^-5 mol/L. The optical properties of H2TEHPPS were investigated based on the UV and fluorescence spectra. The results show that the fluorescence intensity of H2TEHPPS is directly proportional to temperature in the range of 293-353 K So H,TEHPPS can be used as a molecular temoerature sensor in biomedical and other fields.

In an alkaline 2-propanol solution with 5, 10,15,20-tetra (4-methoxyl phenyl) porphyrin iron chloride (TOMPPFeCl) as a catalyst and oxygen as a cheap green oxidant, 2-naphthol was conversed to 2-hydroxy-1 ,4-naphthoquinone(HNQ) with a yield of 62. 17% and a selectivity of 100%, and the conversion number of TMOPPFeCl catalyst was 8.32/min. The catalytic oxidation products were characterized by means of UVVis, IR, GC-MS, ^1H NMR and melting point determination. In this catalytic oxidation, the catalytic activity of TMOPPFeCl was researched in detail and the reacting conditions were optimized. A possible reaction mechanism is summarized based on in situ EPR determination.     

Cochinchin from Dracaena cochinchinensis

A new compound, Cochinchin (1), together with 7,4‘-dihydroxyflavone (2), 7-hydroxy-4‘-methoxyflavane (3),7-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxybenzyl)chroman (4), 4‘-hydroxy-2,4-dirnethoxydihydrochalcone (5) and 4‘-hydroxy-2,4,6-trimethoxydihydrochalcone (6) was isolated from the resin (trivial name, “dragon‘s blood“) of Dracaena cochinchinensis (Lour.) S. C. Chert. The structure of 1 was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data as (2,3-trans)-6-allyl-2-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzo[1,4]dioxin which is a natural product possessing a new framework.     

Electrodeposition mechanism of Ni-Mo-P alloy in the solution of ammoniac citrate

The induced codeposition mechanism of Mo, P and Ni from the solution of ammoniac citrate was studied by means of steady-state polarization, AC impedance and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The result of electrochemical measurements proved that [NiCit(NH3)2]- is the electro-active species of nickel, though nickel ions exist mainly as [NiCit(NH3)3]- in ammoniac citrate. XPS experiments proved the existence of tetravalent molybdenum corresponding to MoO2 on the surface of some deposits. The intermediate product, MoO2, was probably reduced to Mo in the alloy deposit by atomic hydrogen adsorbed on the induced metal nickel. The reduction of H2PO2- occurs through two distinctive steps with PH3 as an intermediate, which subsequently reacts with atomic hydrogen to form P in the alloy deposit. The electrodeposition mechanism was proposed in this paper.

Bowl-shaped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/γ-Fe2O3 composites with elecromagnetic function

In this paper, electromagnetic poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/γ-Fe2O3 (PEDOT/γ-Fe2O3 ) micro-bowls, 1 2 μm in diameter, were prepared by a simple environment-friendly process. In this method, the aqueous solution of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) instead of any organic solvent was used. FeCl3 acted as a source of Fe Ⅲ for the formation of γ-Fe2O3 and as an oxidant for the polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT). The bowl-shaped morphology of PEDOT/γ-Fe2O3 composites was strongly influenced by the concentration of CTAB, FeCl2 , ammonia solution and the reaction temperature. The saturation magnetization of PEDOT/γ-Fe2O3 micro-bowls increased with the increase of FeCl2 concentration and reached 6.20 Am2 /kg at the FeCl2 concentration of 0.30 mol/L. The conductivity of the PEDOT/γ-Fe2O3 composites was in the range of 101 S/cm. The electrical and magnetic sources of PEDOT/γ-Fe2O3 micro-bowls were confirmed by SEM-EDX, TEM, XRD and XPS spectra. And the possible formation mechanism of PEDOT//γ-Fe2O3 was proposed.

Preparation,Structure, Fluorescence,Semiconductor Properties and TDDFT Calculation of a Mononuclear Zinc Complex with Mixed Ligands

A novel zinc complex[ZnL(bipy)(H2O)]×H2O with mixed ligands of 3-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid(HL)and bipy(bipy=2,2'-bipyridine)was synthesized by solvothermal reaction and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique.The title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system of Pbca space group,and exists as an isolated mononuclear complex.The intermolecular hydrogen bonds and strongπ…πstacking interactions form a three-dimensional(3-D)supramolecular network.Solid-state photoluminescence spectrum reveals that it shows an emission in the blue region of the light spectrum.Time-dependent density functional theory(TDDFT)calculations reveal that this emission can be attributed to ligand-to-ligand charge transfer(LLCT).Solid-state diffuse reflectance data show that there is a narrow optical band gap of 1.83 eV.

Total regioselective and diastereospecific iodolysis of 2,3-epoxyamides promoted by SmI2: synthesis of (2R*,3R*)- or (2R,3S)-2-hydroxy-3-iodoamides

The use of samarium diiodide as a source of iodides is reported. Thus, 2-hydroxy-3-iodoamides were obtained, with total regioselectivity, by treatment of 2,3-epoxyamides, in which the oxirane ring is 2,3-disubstituted or 2,2,3-trisubstituted, with SmI2. The ring-opening reaction was diastereospecific and (2R*,3R*)- or (2R*,3S*)-2-hydroxy-3-iodoamides were obtained from cis- or trans-epoxyamides, respectively. The relative configuration of 2-hydroxy-3-iodoamides was established by X-ray analysis. A mechanism to explain this transformation has been proposed. The starting compounds 1 are easily prepared by the reaction of enolates derived from 2-chloroamides with aldehydes at -78 degrees C.     

Identification of impurities affecting commercial ethylene glycol UV transmittance

As a raw material for making polyesters, ethylene glycol has a special specification of UV transmittance. At present, ethylene glycol produced by some plants still has low UV transmittance rendering it unsuitable for use in polyester production. In this paper, a method was developed for the identification of the impurities that cause commercial ethylene glycol to have low UV transmittance, using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and some analytical techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The major UV-absorbing impurities were identified as some alkyl homologues of 2-hydroxycyclopent-2-en-1-one, including 2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylcyclopent-2-en-1-one, 2-hydroxy-3-methylcyclopent-2-en-1-one, 2-hydroxy-3,4-dimethylcyclopent-2-en-1-one, 2-hydroxy-3-ethyl-4-methylcyclopent-2-en-1-one and 2-hydroxy-3-ethylcyclopent-2-en-1-one. Their concentrations were estimated to be less than 2 microg ml(-1). It is believed that with the above results, ethylene glycol-producing plants might make process improvements to remove these impurities more effectively and more easily.

Ion trap mass spectrometry affords advances in the analytical and atmospheric chemistry of 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal,a proposed photooxidation product of 2-methyl-3-buten-2-Ol

In the western United States, in areas where emissions of the biogenic hydrocarbon, 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO) are high, MBO contributes significantly to the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere. Hydroxyl radical oxidation of MBO can play an important role in forming tropospheric ozone, and MBO reaction products may contribute to the formation of secondary organic aerosols [1-3]. Although 2-hdyroxy-2-methylpropanal was tentatively identified as a product from the reaction of MBO with .OH in indoor chamber studies, the identity of the compound was not confirmed due to the lack of an authentic standard. Further, no data exists on the atmospheric generation and fate of 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal in the ambient environment. Herein, we provide further evidence that 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal is generated by .OH reaction with MBO by identifying 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal in an indoor chamber experiment and in ambient air sampled in the Blodgett Forest, where MBO emissions are high. We analyzed 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal by using a method that relies on O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine (PFBHA) and bis-(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) derivatization along with ion-trap mass spectrometry. Tentative identification of 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal was possible by using knowledge gained in this study regarding the mass spectrometry of PFBHA-BSTFA derivatives of carbonyls with primary, secondary, and tertiary -OH groups, and ado- and keto-acids. The identification was confirmed by comparing the methane CI mass spectra and relative gas chromatographic retention time obtained by analyzing 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal in a sample extract and a synthesized authentic standard. Since the standard became available at the end of this study (after all samples were analyzed), we also developed a method for semi-quantification of 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal, with a detection limit of 27 pptv in air. We used the method to provide the first ambient air measurements of 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal. The analyte is not commercially available, and hence other researchers who have not synthesized an authentic standard can employ the method.     

Formation of pyrrole derivatives through aminolysis of 2-azetidinone derivatives

A mixture of 3-(α,β-epoxyisopropyl)-1-phenyl-2-azetidinone and benzylamine was heated in a sealed tube at 120–130° yielding 4-anilinomethyl-1-benzyl-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone as a mixture of diastereoisomers. By this method, 4-anilinomethyl-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrrolidinone and 4-anilinomethyl-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-2-pyrrolidinone were obtained by using aniline and 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine, respectively, instead of benzylamine. The reaction of 4-formyl-1-phenyl-2-azetidinone with 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine afforded 4-anilino-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-2,3-dihydro-2-oxopyrrole. In a similar fashion, the 1-n-butyl and 1-isobutyl analogues were obtained by the use of n-butylamine and isobutylamine, respectively, instead of 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine.     

Synthesis of some new substituted oxiranes from 4′-hydroxy-3′,5′-dinitrochalcones and their sulfanilic acid-catalyzed aminolysis

A new series of (4′-hydroxy-3′,5′-dinitrophenyl) (3-aryloxiran-2-yl) methanone derivatives has been synthesized by the reaction of 4′-hydroxy-3′,5′-dinitro-substituted chalcones and alkaline H₂O₂. The resulted oxiranes on sulfanilic acid-catalyzed aminolysis afforded 2-hydroxy-1-(4′-hydroxy-3′,5′-dinitrophenyl)-3-aryl-3-(arylamino) propan-1-one derivatives. The advantage of this environmentally benign safe protocol offers a simple reaction set-up, mild reaction conditions, high product yields and short reaction time. The catalyst was reused several times without significant loss of catalytic activity.     

N.m.r. studies on aromatic compounds. I—13C n.m.r. spectra of some mono- and disulpho-substituted hydroxycarboxylic acids

Carbon-13 n.m.r. spectra of 3-hydroxy-4-sulpho-2-naphthoic, 3-hydroxy-5-sulpho-2-naphthoic, 3-hydroxy-7-sulpho-2-naphthoic, 5-sulphosalicylic, 3-hydroxy-5,7-disulpho-2-naphthoic, 1-hydroxy-4,7-disulpho-2-naphthoic, and 3,5-disulphosalicylic acids were recorded with and without proton noise-decoupling. Analyses of the spectra were carried out for all compounds except 3-hydroxy-5-sulpho-2-naphthoic acid which dimerized. The fine splitting caused by long-range coupling was used in identifying the lines of the ¹³C n.m.r. spectra.     

Cyclic hydroxamic acids derived from quinazoliue

The action of various acylating agents on 2-aminobenzohydroxamic acid afforded 3-hydroxy-4(3H)quinazolinones (hydroxamic acids) as well as several ethers and esters from them were prepared and their spectroscopic properties analyzed. Secondary amines, as well as one equivalent of alkali, on 2-halomethyl-3-hydroxy-4(3H)quinazolinone lead to the formation of a dimer(XI). In this respect the behaviour of secondary amines is different from that of primary amines. Some new 3-hydroxy-2-4(1H,3H)-quinazolidinediones are described.
