关于反应分子数定义的讨论

There are two different views on the definition of reaction molecularity in physical chemistry textbooks and related literatures so far. We give a deep discussion about this conception herein. Starting with the development of chemical kinetics and the definition of elementary reaction and state-state reaction, we clarify that elementary reaction and state-state reaction are the conceptions belonging to macro-and micro-systems, respectively, and reaction molecularity is also belonging to micro-conception. Based on this conclusion, we think that the more reasonable definition of reaction molecularity should be "the number of chemical particles that take part in a state-state reaction (or an elementary chemi-physical reaction) as a reactant".     

Influence of temperature on metal-organic frameworks

Reaction temperature is one of the key parameters in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks （MOFs）. Though there is no convergence with regard to the various experimental parameters, reaction temperature has been found to have remarkable influence on the formation and structure of MOFs, especially toward the control of topology and dimensionality of the MOF structures. Theoretically, the reaction temperature affects directly the reaction energy barrier in reaction thermodynamics and the reaction rate in the reaction kinetics. This review aims to show the influence of reaction temperature on crystal growth/assembly, structural modulation and transformation of MOFs, and to provide primary information and insights into the design and assernblv of desired MOFs.

Direct partial oxidation of methane to methanol： Reaction zones and role of catalyst location

Direct partial oxidation of methane to methanol was investigated in a specially designed reactor. Methanol yield of about 7%-8% was obtained in gas phase partial oxidation. It was proposed that the reactor could be divided into three reaction zones, namely pre-reaction zone, fierce reaction zone, and post-reaction zone, when the temperature was high enough to initiate a reaction. The oxidation of methane proceeded and was completed mostly in the fierce reaction zone. When the reactant mixture entered the post-reaction zone, only a small amount of produced methanol would bring about secondary reactions, because molecular oxygen had been exhausted in the fierce reaction zone. A catalyst, if necessary, should be placed either in the pre-reaction zone, to initiate a partial oxidation reaction at a lower temperature, or in the fierce reaction zone to control the homogeneous free radical reaction.

The use of polymer-bound triphenylphosphine in the stereochemical inversion of secondary alcohols

Polymer-bound triphenylphosphine can replace triphenylphosphine in the Mitsunobu reaction to generate stereochemically inverted secondary alcohols. This method is comparable with the standard Mitsunobu reaction in terms of inversion of stereochemistry, yield, and reaction time, even for sterically very hindered secondary alcohols. The special merit of this reaction is that the excess polymer-bound triphenylphosphine and its by-products are easily removed by filtration from the reaction products.

Effect of a proximal substituent on the triruthenium dodecacarbonyl-catalyzed reductive carbonylation of nitroarenes

Three nitroarenes were submitted to Ru₃(CO)₁₂-catalyzed reductive carbonylation in acetonitrile and in cis-cyclooctene. The main reaction products were the corresponding amines, ureas and six- or five-membered cyclization products. Optimization of the reaction varying the temperature, the CO pressure, the catalyst/substrate ratio and the reaction time and a statistical analysis of conversion and selectivity data allow to suggest a reaction mechanism in some reaction conditions.     

A computational study of the heats of reaction of substituted monoethanolamine with CO2

Various amines have been considered as materials for chemical capture of CO(2) through liquid-phase reactions to form either carbamate or carbamic acid products. One of the main challenges in these CO(2)-amine reactions lies in tuning the heat of reaction to achieve the correct balance between the extent of reaction and the energy cost for regeneration. In this work, we use a computational approach to study the effect of substitution on the heats of reaction of monoethanolamine (MEA). We use ab initio methods at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level, coupled with geometries generated from B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) density functional theory along with the conductor-like polarizable continuum model to compute the heats of reaction. We consider two possible reaction products: carbamate, having a 2:1 amine:CO(2) reaction stoichiometry, and carbamic acid, having a 1:1 stoichiometry. We have considered CH(3), NH(2), OH, OCH(3), and F substitution groups at both the α- and β-carbon positions of MEA. We have experimentally measured heats of reaction for MEA and both α- and β-CH(3)-substituted MEA to test the predictions of our model. We find quantitative agreement between the predictions and experiments. We have also computed the relative basicities of the substituted amines and found that the heats of reaction for both carbamate and carbamic acid products are linearly correlated with the computed relative basicities. Weaker basicities result in less exothermic heats of reaction. Heats of reaction for carbamates are much more sensitive to changes in basicity than those for carbamic acids. This leads to a crossover in the heat of reaction so that carbamic acid formation becomes thermodynamically favored over carbamate formation for the weakest basicities. This provides a method for tuning the reaction stoichiometry from 2:1 to 1:1.

Understanding the physics and chemistry of reaction mechanisms from atomic contributions: a reaction force perspective

Studying chemical reactions involves the knowledge of the reaction mechanism. Despite activation barriers describing the kinetics or reaction energies reflecting thermodynamic aspects, identifying the underlying physics and chemistry along the reaction path contributes essentially to the overall understanding of reaction mechanisms, especially for catalysis. In the past years the reaction force has evolved as a valuable tool to discern between structural changes and electrons' rearrangement in chemical reactions. It provides a framework to analyze chemical reactions and additionally a rational partition of activation and reaction energies. Here, we propose to separate these energies further in atomic contributions, which will shed new insights in the underlying reaction mechanism. As first case studies we analyze two intramolecular proton transfer reactions. Despite the atom based separation of activation barriers and reaction energies, we also assign the participation of each atom in structural changes or electrons' rearrangement along the intrinsic reaction coordinate. These participations allow us to identify the role of each atom in the two reactions and therfore the underlying chemistry. The knowledge of the reaction chemistry immediately leads us to suggest replacements with other atom types that would facilitate certain processes in the reaction. The characterization of the contribution of each atom to the reaction energetics, additionally, identifies the reactive center of a molecular system that unites the main atoms contributing to the potential energy change along the reaction path.

Kinetic study of Berthelot reaction steps in the absence and presence of coupling reagents

Several reaction steps in the Berthelot reaction for the determination of ammonia have been separately studied. A reaction order of two has been confirmed for the reaction between HOCl and NH(3). The rate constant for this reaction has been determined to be 3.2 x 10(6)l.mole(-1).sec(-1). The first evidence for the formation of benzoquinonechlorimine is presented. Pentacyanoferrate coupling reagents which accelerate the production of indophenol have been found to operate on the reaction between NH(2)Cl and phenol. The rate constant for the final step of the reaction sequence has been determined to be 5.3 x 10(-3)l.mole(-1).sec(-1). A reaction between chlorimine and pentacyanoferrate compounds has been found to be responsible for the formation of a green product in the presence of excess of coupling reagent.     

Nucleophilic addition of nitrones to ketones: development of a new catalytic asymmetric nitrone-aldol reaction

A new organic reaction has been discovered in which nitrones react with carbonyl compounds in an aldoltype reaction to give functionalized beta-hydroxynitrones. The alpha-carbon atom of the nitrone undergoes a nucleophilic addition reaction to electron-deficient ketones, such as alpha-ketoesters, alpha,beta-diketones, and trifluoromethyl ketones, to afford the products in moderate to good yields. The scope and potential of the reaction have been investigated and developed. The reaction can also be catalyzed by secondary amines. The use of chiral cyclic amines, such as L-proline leads to optically active beta-hydroxynitrones in moderate yield and with moderate to high enantiomeric excess. The reaction mechanism was studied by kinetic measurements, intermediate and product analysis, and determination of the absolute configuration of the product; based on these investigations a mechanism for the new reaction is proposed.     

Change of polymer reactivity in the course of macromolecular reaction

For a macromolecular reaction in polymer solution or melt, the reactivity of the transforming unit is supposed to depend upon its microenvironment, including both the nearest neighbours of the same chain and units belonging to the other chains or low molecular components of the reaction mixture. The microenvironment changes with conversion. Hence, the reactivity of polymer functional groups should change during the reaction. Such a reaction belongs to Markovian processes with locally interacting components and time-dependent transient probabilities. To describe the reaction kinetics, it is necessary: (1) to analyse statistical properties of an individual transforming chain, (2) to derive the kinetic equations using relations based on these properties, (3) to determine the dependence of the transient probabilities upon time or upon degree of conversion. For a general reaction model, equations are derived to describe the kinetic curve, distribution of units and composition heterogeneity of the products. The calculations reveal the influence of an interchain interaction on the reaction rate and also on the distribution of units for reaction in a polymer melt.     

氟分子与乙烯反应的直接动力学模拟

Direct dynamics within the framework of DFT was used to study the long-time puzzling mechanism of the reaction between F2 and ethylene. Three types of reactions are widely accepted : F atom elimination reaction, HF elimination reaction and the addition reaction. Several reaction mechanisms have been proposed, but only the radical mechanism can reasonably explain the initial reaction at low temperature. In this article, our calculations support the radical mechanism and the reaction mechanisms of the three reactions, and they are described in detail by trajectory simulation. The reactions in a cryogenic matrix with the reaction mechanism were also discussed.

异丁烯直接胺化合成叔丁胺反应的热力学研究

叔丁胺是一种重要的有机化工中间体,广泛应用于制备橡胶促进剂,医药,农药,着色剂等诸多下游产物.目前,叔丁胺主要的生产方法,如叔丁脲水解法,异丁烯-氢氰酸法(Ritter法),卤代烃胺化法等存在产品收率较低,涉及强酸/强碱的使用,对设备腐蚀和环境污染严重等问题.异丁烯直接胺化生产叔丁胺,原子利用率100%,是典型的绿色化学反应.20世纪末,BASF公司以β沸石为催化剂,率先实现了异丁烯胺化技术的工业应用.但是,其反应条件苛刻,压力达28 MPa,生产过程能耗大,对设备材质要求高.目前,关于异丁烯直接胺化的文献较少,且相关研究多在远离工业应用的常压条件下进行.同时,对于异丁烯直接胺化反应过程的热力学,特别是缓和反应条件下的热力学尚待进一步系统和深入地研究分析,以期指导低温低压条件下高性能胺化催化剂的研发和工艺条件优化.我们计算了473?573 K间,异丁烯胺化制备叔丁胺反应的ΔrH,ΔrG,Kp等热力学数据.在此基础上,分析了反应温度,压力和氨烯比(摩尔比)对异丁烯平衡转化率(叔丁胺选择性>99%,未予考虑)的影响.结果表明,异丁烯胺化是中等强度的放热反应,升高反应温度会急剧降低异丁烯的平衡转化率,如在5 MPa,氨烯比1的条件下,反应温度从473 K提高到573 K,异丁烯平衡转化率从40.6%降到6.9%.但从动力学角度而言,升温可提高胺化反应速率,因此在特定的反应条件下和催化剂上,必然存在最佳反应温度.提高反应压力和氨烯比有利于提高异丁烯的热力学平衡转化率.开发在低温和相对较低的压力下具有较高胺化活性的催化剂是提高该过程经济性和实用性的关键.在较缓和的反应条件下(523 K,5 MPa,氨烯比4及异丁烯空速0.5 h?1),考察了ZSM-5(R=50和R=412,R为硅铝比,下同),ZSM-11(R=48),MOR(R=10),SAPO-11(摩尔组成,1.6Al2O3:1.0SiO2:1.4P2O5)等不同拓扑结构分子筛以及氧化铝在异丁烯胺化反应中的性能.结果表明,空白试验中,无叔丁胺产物生成.在ZSM-11上的获得最高的异丁烯胺化转化率,为14.2%(达到平衡转化率的52.2%),在ZSM-5(R=50),ZSM-5(R=412)和MOR上,异丁烯转化率分别为13.9%,6.4%和2.9%,叔丁胺选择性均大于99.8%.而SAPO-11和氧化铝未呈现出胺化反应活性.关联氨气程序升温脱附,吡啶吸附红外表征结果及分子筛孔结构特点,表明分子筛胺化活性与其孔径及Br?nsted酸的酸量和酸强度密切相关.为了进一步验证实际反应体系中反应条件对异丁烯胺化反应过程的影响规律,我们在ZSM-11催化剂上,系统考察了反应温度,压力,氨烯比和异丁烯空速对催化剂胺化反应性能的影响及变化规律.结果表明,在其他条件不变的情况下,异丁烯转化率随着温度的升高呈现出先增大后减小的趋势.适当提高原料中氨烯比和反应压力,以及采用较低异丁烯空速有利于促进异丁烯的转化.上述规律与热力学计算结果呈现出较好的一致性.在ZSM-11催化剂上,异丁烯直接胺化反应的较佳反应条件为523 K,5 MPa,氨烯比4,异丁烯空速0.5 h?1.上述结果可为异丁烯直接胺化合成叔丁胺过程新型高效催化剂的研发和反应工艺条件优化提供参考和指导.     

Solid-phase synthesis of alkyl aryl ethers via the Ullmann condensation

Alkyl aryl ether formation is a frequently employed reaction in organic synthesis. Ullmann condensation is an alternative method to the widely used Mitsunobu reaction and is very useful in situations where application of the Mitsunobu reaction is limited. By application of this reaction to solid-phase synthesis of a series of alkyl aryl ethers, reaction conditions (catalyst, solvent, temperature, time, etc.) for a sterically hindered class of alcohols were investigated and optimized. A range of aryl halides was used to explore the scope of the reaction in solid phase.
