Template Synthesis of Nano-structured Materials for Electrochemical Applications

As an important preparation method of nano-structured materials, template synthesis^[1] attracted great interests in recent years. Different kinds of template such as anodic porous alumina, polymer and nano-channel glass templates have been widely studied. Compared with other templates, the size of holes in the porous alumina template can be easily controlled by properly adjusting the condition of anodization. In addition, Nano-structured material prepared from the template also provides an ideal system^[2] to investigate the effects of size of materials toward electrode's performance. In this paper, various nano-structured materials such as spinel LiMn₂O₄ and carbon nanotubes by using porous alumina template have been prepared and characterized.

THE KINETICS OF THE DECOMPOSITION OF CYCLOHEXYL HYDROPEROXIDE IN THE PRESENCE OF VANADYL DIBENZOYLMETHANE

The kinetics of the decomposition of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide(CHHP) in benzene catalyzed by vanadyl dibenzoylmethane[V0(DBM).,] has been studied.It was found that the products of decomposition of CHHP were cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone,which are produced in about equimolar amount,and the product cyclohexanol obviously inhibited the decomposition of CHHP.The kinetics data can be satisfactorily described by the following equation (with [CHHP]0>>[VO(DBM)2]0)R0=kK[CHHP]0[VO(DBM)2]0/(1+k[CHHP]0)This is the kinetic evidence for the formation of a catalyst-hydro-peroxide intermediate.In the equation K is the stability constant of the catalyst-hydroperoxide intermediate complex;k is the rate constant for the decomposition of the complex.The rate constant K at 500℃ may be expressed as follows:k=1.9×108exp(-53.7×103/RT)S-1 with the activation energy Ea=53.7kJ mol-1     

Chemiluminescent Determination of Inorganic Phosphate

Flow injection (FI) chemiluminescence (CL) analysis has received much attention in various fields for its high sensitivity, rapidity, simplicity and feasibility. Recently, interest has also focused on the use of FI in site monitoring of environmental materials in surface and sea water, such as phosphate. Most of the commonly used methods for the determination of inorganic phosphate by FI are based on spectrophotometric measurement of the phosphomlybate or phosphomolybdovanadate complex^[1], or fluorescence quenching methods using metals, such as aluminium-morin (Al-morin) system^[2]. A new CL determination of inorganic phosphate by FI system is described (Fig 1).     

Study on the Acid Treatment of Titanium Silicalite TS-1

Titanium silicalite (TS-1) is one kind of heteroatom molecular sieve synthesized by Taramasso and his coworkers in 1983^[1]. Its specific catalytic oxidation properties have attracted much attention of many scientists^[2]. The synthesis of TS-1 need use expensive TPAOH as the template; this restrains its industrial application. There are many reports on low cost TS-1, such as using TPABr to replace TPAOH, silica sol to replace tetra-ethyl orthosilicate^[3-5]. In our lab, TS-1 was synthesized by using TPABr as the template and silica sol as silicon source,and the amount of TPABr was decreased to 0.05 (TPABr/SiO₂). The as-synthesized TS-1 has some differences compared with TS-1 synthesized according to the standard method, such as large crystal size, trace aluminum, extra-framework titanium, high activity in the epoxidation of propylene with dilute H₂O₂ and low selectivity of propylene oxide (20-30%). The low selectivity of PO is attributed to the acidity of TS-1 resulted from the trace aluminum and silicon hydroxyl. In order to increase the selectivity of PO, it is necessary to add some base to the reaction mixture. Generally, acid treatment can remove aluminum and other elements and impurity to improve catalyst. In this paper, the effect of the acid treatment on the physicochemical properties of TS-1 was studied.     

Electrochromic Properties of Rhodium Oxide Films Prepared by Sol-gel Method

Electrochromic materials have been extensively investigated for their significant potential in information display, automotive, sensor and smart windows^[1]. Many studies have been carried out on the inorganic electrochromic materials, such as WO₃, MoO₃, NiO_x and so on^[2]. In this paper, We first report the electrochromic behavior of rhodium oxide film prepared by sol-gel method on transparent conductor substrate. The film exhibited reversible two color (from bright yellow to dark green) electrochromic behavior with satisfactory contrast at anodic and cathodic forms when the applied potential was reversed successively.     

Hydrolysis of cyano(pyrrolyl-1)borates

The kinetics and mechanism of the hydrolysis of several cyano(pyrrolyl-1)borates in aqueous medium has been investigated. The hydrolysis of cyanophenyl(pyrrolyl-1)-borates, cyano(tripyrrolyl-1)borate and cyanohydro(pyrrolyl-1)borates proceeds via two kinds of reactions; (a) a special H⁺ ion catalyzed reaction (A-1 mechanism) and (b) a H⁺ ion concentration-independent process of S_N1 mechanism. In acidic medium the [BH₂(NC₄H₄)CN]⁻ anion is reversibly protonated at the -carbon of the pyrrolyl group and a product with composition C₄H₅N · BH₂CN, stable towards hydrolysis is also formed.

In the H⁺ ion catalyzed reaction the B---N bond very likely breaks, whereas upon the [H⁺] ion concentration-independent reaction a B---CN cleavage occurs. The presence of the cyano substituent significantly increases the hydrolytic stability of the B---N bond, whereas the pyrrolyl-1-substitution remarkably decreases the stability of the B---CN bonding.

Nickel-Catalyzed Hydroesterification of Acetylene with Methyl Formate to Methyl Acrylate in Fixed Bed

The hydroesterification of acetylene with methyl formate catalyzed by nickel-supported catalysts without any corrosive halide promoter has been comprehensively studied in a fixed bed reactor under various conditions. This reaction can be particularly useful since methyl formate may act as a source of methanol-carbon monoxide, thus simplifying transport and handling^[1-3]. The catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation of γ-Al₂O₃ support with NiCl₂ aqueous solution, then dried at 120℃ and calcined at 500℃     

Properties of Intermolecular Multiple Quantum Coherences and their Application in Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Over the last few years, intermolecular multiple-quantum coherences (MQCs) have attracted theoretical attention and also caused controversies in the NMR community^[1-3]. Although there are still some theoretical issues which remain to be addressed, intermolecular dipolar interaction effects have lost much of their mystical character and are becoming useful tools in NMR spectroscopy and MR imaging^[2-6]; Recently, we have successfully obtained human tissue double quantum coherence images in 1.5 T scanned^[4,5] and 5-th order MQC images of water phantom on a 9.4 T system^[6].

Both compounds have been fully characterized by analytical, spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction methods. The solid state structure of 1 reveals a sandwich structure for the [(η⁵-C₅H₄Bu^t)₂Li]⁻ anion.     

Crystal Structures,Thermal Analysis and Electrochemical Behaviors of Functionalized Pyridinium Ionic Liquids Comprising One 1-Ethyl Acetate Group

Pyridinium ionic liquids(ILs, 1-ethyl acetate pyridinium hexfluorophosphate[EAPy][PF₆] and 1-ethyl acetate-3-methyl pyridinium hexfluorophosphate[EAMPy][PF₆]), were synthesized by a two-step process involving introduction of one ethyl acetate group and anion metathesis. Colorless single crystals of the two ILs were initially obtained using the solvent-evaporation method in mixed solvents. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was used to determine the crystal structures.[EAPy][PF₆] crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a=2.2748(16) nm, b=0.6204(4) nm, c=1.8552(12) nm and Z=8, whereas[EAMPy][PF₆] crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁ with a=0.7126(17) nm, b=1.2792(3) nm, c=1.5327(3) nm and Z=4. The structure of[EAPy][PF₆] contains double zigzag chains formed by alternately pairing large organic cations with the octahedral anions of[P1F₆]^- or[P2F₆]^-. The[P1F₆]^- and[P2F₆]^- anions occupy respectively two distinct crystallographic sites in crystal packing models. The structure of[EAMPy][PF₆] includes ladder-type chains constructed through pairing pyridinium cations with inorganic anions of[PF₆]^-. The[PF₆]^- anion in[EAMPy][PF₆] shows a distorted octahedron structure and is sandwiched by ethyl acetate groups in crystallographic stacking. This study reveals the influence of chemical mo-dification involving the methyl group(CH₃) onto crystallographic structure of pyridinium ILs. Thermal analysis indicates that the difficult crystallization of the two ILs is related to the low void filling of ion pairs in crystal structure, leading to relatively low melting point and evident supercooling during the cooling process. Additionally, the experimental results indicate that the two ILs have electrochemical activity. The ethyl acetate group also allows downward shifting of electrochemical windows to less negative positions and the ionic conductivities of the two ILs follow an Arrhenius-type behavior.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis,Structure and Properties of a New Phosphomolybdate Based on Novel [Co(H2O)4(HP2Mo5O23)]8- Anions and [H8(H2O)16]8+ Water Cluster Cations

A pure inorganic [P₂Mo₅O₂₃]^6- based cobalt complex [H₈(H₂O)₁₆][Co(H₂O)₄(HP₂Mo₅O₂₃)₂] with a sandglass-like shape was synthesized and characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD), infrared spectroscopy(IR), thermogravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry(TG/DSC), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis) and cyclic voltammogram(CV). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the asymmetric unit of compound 1 consists of a half cobalt ion, one [P₂Mo₅O₂₃]^6- anion, two coordinated water molecules and eight lattice water molecules. It is especially intriguing to note that two [P₂Mo₅O₂₃]^6- clusters are symmetrical about the Co ion, like a sandglass. And a chair-like water cluster with an unprecedented centrosymmetric [H₈(H₂O)₁₆]⁸⁺ can be observed in compound 1. Additionally, the electrochemical and catalytic properties of compound 1 were also investigated.     

Effect of Carrier on Activity of Immobilized Lipase in the Resolution of Naproxen

Several kinds of immobilization carrier were used for the resolution of naproxen by lipase from Candida rogusa in an aquous-organic biphase system^[1]. It was found that the nature of carrier has obvious effect on the activity of immobilized enzyme. From the table below we can see that MCM-41 molecular sieve showed the highest activity, while the celite modified by DMCS showed the lowest activity.     

Crosslinking Reaction in the Formation of Porous Clays

Clay minerals are a class of hydrous layer aluminosilicates of the so-called phyllosilicate^[1] family made up of two basic types of layers, the SiO₄ tetrahedral sheet and the Al₂(OH)₆[or Mg₃(OH)₆] octahedral sheet, many of which posses interlayer cations capable of exchanging reaction with other cations. The preparation of porous clays are based on this reactivity of exchangeable interlayer cations by using the intercalation of polycations such as Al₁₃⁷⁺ oligomers^[2] into the galleries of clay minerals to form a microporous materials^[3] Here we reported a study on the interlayered crosslinking of a 2:1 type montmorillonites with a hydrolysed polycations Al in the formation of porous clays. Na-montmorillonite gel (Na-mont, particle size<2 μ) were purified by using sedimentation of Na-bentonite fines (400 mesh, Zhejiang, China) and subsequent extensively washing to remove any soluble Na⁺. Hydrolysed polycations Al was prepared by NaOH hydrolysis of AlCl₃ solutions in a condition^[2] of OH/Al=2.0 and then aging at 70-90℃ for 4 h by the following process^[3].
