Effect of outer cations and water of crystallization on the radiolytic decomposition of nitrates

The -ray induced decomposition of several inorganic nitrates CsNO₃, TlNO₃, Mg/NO₃/₂.6H₂O, Ca/NO₃/₂.4H₂O, Hg/NO₃/₂, Hg/NO₃/₂.2H₂O, Pb/NO₃/₂ and Al/NO₃/₃.9H₂O has been studied at an absorbed dose of {5 Mrads. G/NO ₂ ^– / is affected by the outer cation and depends mainly on its valency and ionic size. G/NO ₂ ^– / for hydrated mercuric nitrate is always higher as compared to that for the anhydrous mercuric nitrate at various doses. Water of crystallization might provide extra factors to facilitate the decomposition of the hydrated nitrate compared to that for the anhydrous salts. In most cases G/NO ₂ ^– / decreases exponentially with dose but in cases of CsNO₃, Mg/NO₃/₂.6H₂O and Al/NO₃/₃.9H₂O it varies linearly.     

Li4Mn5O12包覆对三元正极材料结构和性能的影响

LiNi_1/3Mn_1/3Co_1/3O₂具有很高的理论比容量,但是三元正极材料在高电压下长循环时,其表面结构发生较大的衰退,导致电池的循环性能和倍率性能变差。本文采用耐高电压且结构稳定的富锂尖晶石Li₄Mn₅O₁₂包覆LiNi_1/3Mn_1/3Co_1/3O₂可以有效改善材料的电化学性能。通过XRD、SEM、XPS和TEM等手段对包覆后的材料进行分析,证实了在LiNi_1/3Mn_1/3Co_1/3O₂的表面形成了10nm厚的均匀Li₄Mn₅O₁₂的包覆层;在循环100圈后,包覆后的LiNi_1/3Mn_1/3Co_1/3O₂仍...     

Rh(PPh3)3Cl/Tetrakis(Dialkylamino)Phosphonium Salts as Thermoregulated and Recyclable Catalytic System for Hydrosilylation Reaction

Abstract

Eleven tetrakis(dialkylamino)phosphonium salts have been prepared and were used as “soft” catalyst supports for the hydrosilylation reaction of styrene with triethoxysilane catalyzed by Rh(PPh₃)₃Cl. Among the Rh(PPh₃)₃Cl/tetrakis(dialkylamino)phosphonium salts tested, the best catalytic activity and selectivity in favor of the β-adduct were obtained when {[(C₄H₉)₂N]₃[(C₈H₁₇)₂N]P}PF₆ was used as the support, and Rh(PPh₃)₃Cl/ {[(C₄H₉)₂N]₃[(C₈H₁₇)₂N]P}PF₆ catalyst system can be reused more than 10 times without noticeable loss of catalytic activity and selectivity.

Ethylcyclopentane ring opening reaction over PtGe/Al2O3 catalysts prepared by controlled surface reaction

Platinum-germanium catalysts supported on a non-acidic Al₂O₃ have been prepared by adding Ge in amounts corresponding nominally to 1/8 (PtGe1/8/Al₂O₃); 1/2 (PtGe1/2/Al₂O₃); 1 (PtGe1/Al₂O₃) and 2 (PtGe2/Al₂O₃) monolayers by controlled surface reaction of Ge(n-C₄H₉)₄ to Pt/Al₂O₃. These catalysts were characterized by electron microscopy (TEM), FTIR of CO adsorption and H₂ chemisorption. The ring opening of ethylcyclopentane (ECP) was studied as a test reaction between 543 and 633 K. PtGe1/8/Al₂O₃ catalyst produced the most ring opening products (ROP) in the whole temperature range. A good agreement with statistical values of ROP was observed at low temperature, but at higher temperature, the opening became selective, producing mostly heptane. Bimetallic catalysts PtGe1/Al₂O₃ and PtGe2/Al₂O₃ led to a nonselective hydrogenolysis, similar to the monometallic platinum catalyst Pt/Al₂O₃. The catalysts PtGe1/Al₂O₃ and PtGe2/Al₂O₃ produced ROP with the lowest selectivity; instead, much aromatics and fragments were formed, in increasing amounts above 600 K.     

Features of the mass-spectrometric fragmentation of the teucrins H

Summary Characteristic directions of the mass-spectrometric fragmentation of teucrins H are the elimination of -vinylfuran and a carboxy group, and also the formation of furan-containing ions with the compositions C₁₁H₁₂O₃ (m/e 192), C₁₀H₁₀O₃ (m/e 178), C₁₁H₁₁O₂ (m/e 175), C₁₁H₁₀O₂; (m/e 174), C₁₀H₉O₂ (m/e 161), C₁₀H₈O₂ (m/e 160), C₉H₁₀O₂ (m/e 150), C₁₀H₁₁O (m/e 147), C₉H₉O (m/e 133), C₆H₇O (m/e 95), C₆H₆O (m/e 94) CsHzO (m/e 81).Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 727–736, November-December, 1978.

Generation,spectroscopic characterization and antioxidant activity of tetracoordinate and hexacoordinate complexes of diethylgermanium(IV) of relatively sterically undemanding N-protected amino acids and sterically demanding heterocyclic β-diketones containing radical sensitive Ge-O bond

Two new sets of diethylgermanium(IV) complexes of the types Et₂GeA₂ and Et₂GeB₂ have been generated by the reactions of diethylgermanium(IV) dichloride with sodium salts of N-protected amino acids (AH) [where AH = , R = -CH(CH₃)C₂H₅: A₁H, R = -CH₂CH(CH₃)₂: A₂H, R = -CH(CH₃)₂: A₃H] and with sodium salts of sterically demanding heterocyclic β-diketones (BH) [where BH = , R’ = -C₆H₅: B₁H, R’ = -p-(Cl)C₆H₄: B₂H, R’ = -CH₃: B₃H, R = -C₂H₅: B₄H], respectively in 1:2 molar ratios in refluxing dry benzene. Plausible structures of these complexes were suggested on the basis of physico-chemical and spectroscopic studies. It is suggested that the complexes of the types Et₂GeA₂ and Et₂GeB₂ contain four coordinated and six coordinated germanium centers, respectively. The ligands and organogermanium(IV) complexes were evaluated for their free radical scavenging activity by DPPH method. These compounds/complexes demonstrate potential antioxidant activity.     

Effect of H2S-uptake on the conversion of cyclohexene on Ru- and Pd-promoted molybdena-alumina catalysts

The effect of H₂S on the activity and selectivity of catalysts (Ru/Al₂O₃, Pd/Al₂O₃ and Ru and Pd promoted molydena-alumina) was different (on differnt catalysts and different conversions of cyclohexene). Ru-containing catalysts showed higher sulfur sensitivities than the Pd-containing ones. The sequence of catalysts by their H₂S uptake related to mass of catalyst was PdMo/Al₂O₃RuMo/Al₂O₃Mo/Al₂O₃>Pd/Al₂O₃Ru/Al₂O₃.     

Coating of Al2O3 on layered Li(Mn1/3Ni1/3Co1/3)O2 using CO2 as green precipitant and their improved electrochemical performance for lithium ion batteries

Li(Mn_1/3Ni_1/3Co_1/3)O₂ cathode materials were fabricated by a hydroxide precursor method. Al₂O₃ was coated on the surface of the Li(Mn_1/3Ni_1/3Co_1/3)O₂ through a simple and effective one-step electrostatic self-assembly method. In the coating process, a NHCO₃-H₂CO₃ buffer was formed spontaneously when CO₂ was introduced into the NaAlO₂ solution. Compared with bare Li(Mn_1/3M_1/3Co_1/3)O₂, the surface-modified samples exhibited better cycling performance, rate capability and rate capability retention. The Al₂O₃-coated Li(Mn_1/3Ni_1/3Co_1/3)O₂ electrodes delivered a discharge capacity of about 115 mAh·g^?1 at 2 A·g^?1, but only 84 mAh·g^?1 for the bare one. The capacity retention of the Al₂O₃-coated Li(Mn_1/3Ni_1/3Co_1/3)O₂ was 90.7% after 50 cycles, about 30% higher than that of the pristine one.
