Virtual state scattering with cold electrons: para-xylene and para-difluorobenzene

The scattering of electrons with kinetic energies down to a few meV by para-xylene and para-difluorobenzene has been observed experimentally with an electron beam energy resolution of 0.95 to 1.5 meV (full width half maximum). At low electron energies the collisions can be considered as cold scattering events because the de Broglie wavelength of the electron is considerably larger than the target dimensions. The scattering cross sections measured rise rapidly at low energy due to virtual state scattering. The nature of this scattering process is discussed using s- and p-wave phase shifts derived from the experimental data. Scattering lengths are derived of, respectively, -9.5+/-0.5 and -8.0+/-0.5 a.u. for para-xylene and para-difluorobenzene. The virtual state effect is interpreted in terms of nuclear diabatic and partially adiabatic models, involving the electronic and vibronic symmetries of the unoccupied orbitals in the target species. The concept of direct and indirect virtual state scattering is introduced, through which the present species, in common with carbon dioxide and benzene, scatter through an indirect virtual state process, whereas other species, such as perfluorobenzene, scatter through a direct process.     

Chain Transfer to Toluene in Styrene Coordination Polymerization

The chain‐transfer reaction is rather important in coordination polymerization regarding catalytic efficiency, adjustment of molecular weight, and control of chain structure. To date, chain transfer to H₂ and Al, Mg, and Zn alkyl compounds and β‐H elimination are the commonly encountered modes. Now a novel chain transfer to toluene is reported. By introducing fluorine atoms into the β‐diketimine ligands, an inert catalytic system for styrene (St) coordination polymerization was transferred into the highly active one. The activity increased with an increase in the number of fluorines in the ligands. Surprisingly, the molecular weights of resultant polystyrenes are very low (M_n=2000–6600 Da) despite of St loadings, corresponding up to 121 chains per active species. The mechanisms were investigated by DFT simulation, MALDI‐TOF MS, isotope tracing experiment and 2D NMR spectrum analyses, which revealed that the fluorine activated the polymerization and directed chain transfer to toluene.     

以对二甲苯氧化为对苯二甲酸为例简要综述一级C–H键活化(英文)

The oxidation of para‐xylene to terephthalic acid has been commercialised as the AMOCO process(Co/Mn/Br) that uses a homogeneous catalyst of cobalt and manganese together with a corrosive bromide compound as a promoter. This process is conducted in acidic medium at a high tempera‐ture(175–225 °C). Concerns over environmental and safety issues have driven studies to find mild‐er oxidation reactions of para‐xylene. This review discussed past and current progress in the oxida‐tion of para‐xylene process. The discussion concentrates on the approach of green chemistry in‐cluding(1) using heterogeneous catalysts with promising high selectivity and mild reaction condi‐tion,(2) application of carbon dioxide as a co‐oxidant, and(3) application of alternative promoters. The optimisation of para‐xylene oxidation was also outlined.     

Enhanced para-xylene selectivity in the toluene alkylation reaction at ultralow contact time

Dramatic improvements in the para-xylene selectivity of the toluene alkylation reaction can be effected by operating the catalytic reaction at ultralow contact time. Unexpectedly, the rate of alkylation is sustained, while unwanted side reactions are suppressed. By demonstrating that contact time directly influences the fate of para-xylene, which is known to form and diffuse preferentially within the zeolite catalyst, we conclude that external mass transfer is a key parameter in controlling selectivity. Even non-optimized catalysts can be made to achieve near-perfect selectivity, without sacrificing conversion.

Mechanism of Thermal Toluene Autoxidation

Aerobic oxidation of toluene (PhCH₃) is investigated by complementary experimental and theoretical methodologies. Whereas the reaction of the chain‐carrying benzylperoxyl radicals with the substrate produces predominantly benzyl hydroperoxide, benzyl alcohol and benzaldehyde originate mainly from subsequent propagation of the hydroperoxide product. Nevertheless, a significant fraction of benzaldehyde is also produced in primary PhCH₃ propagation, presumably via proton rather than hydrogen transfer. An equimolar amount of benzyl alcohol, together with benzoic acid, is additionally produced in the tertiary propagation of PhCHO with benzylperoxyl radicals. The “hot” oxy radicals generated in this step can also abstract aromatic hydrogen atoms from PhCH₃, and this results in production of cresols, known inhibitors of radical‐chain reactions. The very fast benzyl peroxyl‐initiated co‐oxidation of benzyl alcohol generates HO₂^. radicals, along with benzaldehyde. This reaction also causes a decrease in the overall oxidation rate, due to the fast chain‐terminating reaction of HO₂^. with the benzylperoxyl radicals, which causes a loss of chain carriers. Moreover, due to the fast equilibrium PhCH₂OOH+HO₂^.?PhCH₂OO^.+H₂O₂, and the much lower reactivity of H₂O₂ compared to PhCH₂OOH, the fast co‐oxidation of the alcohol means that HO₂^. gradually takes over the role of benzylperoxyl as principal chain carrier. This drastically changes the autoxidation mechanism and, among other things, causes a sharp decrease in the hydroperoxide yield.     

Toluene diffusion in butyl rubber

The sorption isotherm and the polymer mass-fixed diffusion coefficients, D, for toluene in butyl rubber have been measured by the incremental sorption method to concentrations of 130%, corresponding to a solvent volume fraction of 0.578. The increase in D with concentration is strongly exponential to a concentration of 30% and then begins to level out. Since the nature of the dimensional change occurring in vapor sorption was not known, the values of D were converted to solvent self-diffusion coefficients, D₁, assuming both swelling in the thickness direction (1D) and isotropically (3D). The free volume (FV) theory of Fujita was fitted to the resulting D₁ with the zero concentration diffusion coefficient and the self-diffusion coefficient of toluene as limiting values leaving only a single arbitrary parameter. In this form the FV theory was able to describe the trend of the experimental D₁ for the 1D and 3D cases equally well. Values of D were back-calculated from the FV relations for the 1D and 3D cases for comparison with the experimental results and with the diffusion coefficient determined by immersion in toluene. These comparisons favor the assumption that swelling is isotropic. It appears that the simple free volume relation is capable of providing a satisfactory representation of the experimental data with only a single fitting parameter, although there are moderate quantitative discrepancies. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Valence orbital response to methylation of uracil

Orbital signatures of the methyl group in thymine are identified using information from both coordinate and momentum spaces, in comparison with RNA base uracil. The B3LYP/aug‐cc‐pVTZ//B3LYP/TZVP calculations show that the orbitals of methyl group may be identified as 9a′, 15a′, 2a″, and 25a′, respectively. Generally, large changes in orbital energies directly lead to large changes in orbital momentum distributions and orbital wavefunctions despite strong pyrimidine ring buffer (exceptions of 19a′ and 21a′ of thymine). A general conclusion about the chemical bindings of pyrimidine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil is obtained for the first time. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Thermal history effects and methyl tunneling dynamics in a supramolecular complex of calixarene and para-xylene

The low-temperature structure and dynamics of guest molecules of p-xylene incorporated in the isopropyl-calix[4] arene(2:1) p-xylene complex have been investigated by solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Using one-dimensional 1H-decoupled 13C cross-polarization magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR and two-dimensional 1H-13C correlation spectroscopy, a full assignment of the 13C and 1H chemical shifts has been made. Using 1H NMR relaxometry, the effects of thermal history on the structure of the system have been investigated. Rapidly cooled samples have 1H spin-lattice relaxation times T1, which at low temperature (T<60 K) are typically two orders of magnitude faster than those observed in annealed samples which have been cooled slowly over many hours. In both forms, the low-temperature relaxation is driven by the dynamics of the weakly hindered methyl rotors of the p-xylene guest. The substantial difference in T1 is attributed in the rapidly cooled sample to disorder in the structure of the complex leading to a wide distribution of correlation times and methyl barrier heights. A comparison of the linewidths and splittings in the high resolution 13C MAS spectra of the two forms provides structural insight into the nature of the disorder. Using 1H field-cycling NMR relaxometry, the methyl dynamics of the p-xylene guest in the annealed sample have been fully characterized. The B-field dependence of the 1H T1 maps out the spectral density from which the correlation times are directly measured. The methyl barrier heights are determined from an analysis of the temperature dependence.

Toluene Alkylation with Methanol to p-Xylene over Heteropoly Acids Supported by Clay

The alkylation of toluene with methanol for the selective formation of p-xylene was systematically studied. Very few studies have been reported on the use of superacids such as heteropolyacids on cheap supports, such as clay. This article deals with the use of different heteropoly acids (HPAs), viz, Dodeca-Tungstophosphoric acid [H3PO4·12WO3·xH2O] (TPA), Dodeca-Molybdo phosphoric acid ammonium salt hydrate [H12Mo12N3O40P aq] (DMAA), Dodeca-Molybdo Phosphoric acid (PMA) on clay (Montmorillonite, K-10) and as such plain clay. This comparative study reveals that 20%PMA/Clay shows 62% toluene conversion and 100% selectivity toward p-xylene.

Phase Behavior of Tweens/Toluene/Water Microemulsion Systems for the Solubilization Absorption of Toluene

The purpose of the present study was to formulate microemulsion systems comprised of polyoxyethelene sorbitan ester surfactants (Tweens) + cosurfactant + water + oil (toluene) and to investigate their potential use as absorbents for the removal of toluene from air. Toluene is an example of a volatile organic compound (VOC). The microemulsions formed are stabilized by the nonionic surfactants (Tweens) and toluene. The results indicate that Tween-60 is superior to other Tween surfactants, and the optimum value for the hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) is 15. The performances of the cosurfactants followed the order n-butylamine>alcohol>butyric acid. The experimental results showed that the HLB value is more meaningful than the Bansal, Shah, O’Connell (BSO) equation for representing microemulsion systems. Comparative tests of this new absorbent system were performed in a double-stirred reactor, and the experimental absorption results were consistent with the phase diagram. Nonionic surfactant microemulsions have a significant absorption enhancement for toluene, as indicated by as much as 80.81% of toluene being present in the phase composition diagram, which thus have great prospects in air pollution remediation.

Kinetics of the total oxidation of para-xylene and its mixtures with carbon monoxide over supported copper catalysts

The kinetics of the total oxidation of para-xylene and its mixtures with CO over alumina-supported copper catalysts has been investigated at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range from 200 to 270°C. The reactions over the catalysts 10%CuO/γ-Al₂O₃ and (10%CuO + 20%CeO₂)/γ-Al₂O₃ obey the same kinetic equations in fractional rational form. These equations imply that the reactions occur at medium surface coverages of adsorbed substances and differ only in numerical values of constants. The simultaneous oxidation of para-xylene and CO reveals a complicated mutual influence associated with the formation of new intermediates inducing a change in the kinetics of the process.
