NiY分子筛表面酸性影响其选择性吸附脱硫性能的机理研究

采用原位红外光谱技术,以噻吩、环己烯和苯为模型探针分子,分别考察单一烃分子在NiY分子筛上的吸附与反应行为以及噻吩与烯烃、芳烃间的竞争吸附和催化反应行为。单一探针分子吸附研究发现,NiY分子筛中与Ni物种相关的Lewis(L)酸位是噻吩的选择性吸附活性位;噻吩和环己烯在NiY分子筛中Brnsted(B)酸位上发生的质子化和低聚反应明显弱于HY分子筛。双探针分子竞争吸附研究发现,环己烯二聚体在NiY中强B酸位上的强化学吸附与噻吩存在显著的竞争吸附行为。另外,苯和噻吩在NiY上的竞争吸附现象在373K时明显减弱。由此,在选择性吸附脱硫过程中,减少吸附剂表面B酸中心可降低烯烃对噻吩的竞争吸附,另外适当提高吸附体系的温度可以有效避免芳烃对噻吩的竞争吸附。     

The effect of structural characteristics of porous hydrophobized electrodes on selectivity of electrolysis of organic substances

A theoretical study of the effect of the electrode structure on the electrosynthesis in hydrophobized electrodes (HPE) for a case of further electrochemical conversion of the target product is performed by the example of nitromethane electroreduction to methyl hydroxylamine followed by its reduction to methylamine. The effect of the electrode structure on the selectivity of electrosynthesis in HPE was shown to be related to the effective diffusivity and conductivity.     

Study of the solid-state hydrolysis of chitosan in presence of HCl

Chemical depolymerization of chitosan was obtained in the solid state by means of gaseous HCl. This new method allowed us to simultaneously form the hydrochloric salt and saturate the hydration water with acid. The depolymerization was carried out by keeping the product at a given temperature for the desired time. The measurements of the molecular weight distributions demonstrated the ability to control the reaction and produce oligomers with chosen dimensions. This solid-state hydrolysis favors the presence of a four-fold distribution that can be related to the original morphology and crystallinity of the initial material. The effects of the hydrolysis on the crystallinity, the crystalline structure, and the supramolecular order of the obtained chitosans were also studied. Finally, the washing of the hydrolyzed products in concentrated alkaline or acidic media allowed us to eliminate the lowest DPs and thus to narrow the molecular weight distribution. In this case, the crystallinity was also increased up to values beyond 70%. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 35: 3181–3191, 1997

Assignment of the absolute configuration of blasticidin A and revision of that of aflastatin A

The absolute configuration of blasticidin A, a strong inhibitor of aflatoxin production by Aspergillus parasiticus, was assigned by adding the data of relative configurations at its diol and pentaol moieties to previously known stereochemistry. Similarity of the NMR data of blasticidin A to those of aflastatin A allowed us to revise the stereochemistry of the diol and pentaol moieties of aflastatin A.     

Effect of pretreatment of molasses and posttreatment of fermented broth in industrial production of ethanol

The aim of preclarification is to minimize sludge going to yeast separators. This purpose is partially fulfilled. However, it has been measured during the plant trial runs that preclarification does not noticeably improve fermentation. The aim of postclarification is to minimize sludge going to distillation. This purpose is well served as noted from the fact that cycle run of distillation columns using postclarification is three times longer (9–12 mo) as compared to the normal one (3–4 mo).     

Quantum-chemical investigation of the mechanism of the sulfonation of pyrrole

A detailed quantum-chemical study of the sulfonation of pyrrole with regard to the effect of the solvent (the model of overlapping spheres) on the energy characteristics of the formation of the σ-complexes produced during attack on the α-and β-positions of the heterocycle and their possible transformation paths was made by density functional theory [the B3LYP/6-31G(d) method]. The possibility of mutual transformations between the isomeric σ-complexes by α/β-migration of the SO₃ is examined. The formation of pyrrolesulfonic acids was studied for the case of the intramolecular rearrangement of the complexes. Comparison of the activation energies shows that in contrast to the gas-phase reaction the formation of the β-sulfonic acid is preferred in methylene chloride: the solvation energy of the α-isomer of the σ-complex is higher than the energy for the transition state of its rearrangement and its product, α-pyrrolesulfonic acid, leading to an increase in the kinetic barrier and to a decrease of the energy gain on the path to the formation of the latter. The opposite variation of the energy characteristics on the path to the β-isomer with regard to solvation leads to agreement between the calculated data and the experimentally observed preferred formation of the β-pyrrolesulfonic acid.

ESR study of the effect of fluorinated alcohols on magnetic resonance parameters of spin-adducts of phosphoryl radicals with products of cycloaddition of substituted nitriloxides to C60

Regioselectivity of the addition of phosphoryl radicals to the products of cycloaddition of substituted nitriloxides to fullerene C₆₀ was studied by ESR spectroscopy. The effect of fluorine-containing alcohols on the magnetic resonance parameters of the isomers of spinadducts of phosphoryl radicals located at different distances from the five-membered heterocycle was studied. Complexation of the obtained isomeric spin-adducts with (CF₃(₃COH leads to a 3 to 5 G increase in the constant of hyperfine interaction with the phosphorus nucleus, which makes it possible to observe additional lines in the ESR spectrum.

Multi-instrumental analysis of asphalts of archaeological interest

Use was made of thermal and other techniques to characterise three native asphalt samples. The purpose was to support archaeological investigations reconstructing their thermal history and composition. The first sample (from a Roman quarry in central Italy) proved to have 37% impurities, no sign of oxidation or degradation and to have never been heated to above 100°C. The second sample (from a Roman ship sunk south of France) was pure, but partially oxidised, with a saturated fraction in its structure. Analyses of the latter sample, obtained from the eye of a Thracian bronze head, revealed that the asphalt had been heated to over 100°C and then mixed with natural wax.     

Kinetics of Thermal Decomposition of Plumbo-jarosite

An investigation was carried out on the kinetics of thermal decomposition of plumbo-jarosite. The kinetic models of dissociation of the compounds in the ore were identified. The results of the kinetic studies and the mechanism of the process are discussed. The thermal decomposition of plumbo-jarosite occurs in three stages: the first up to 763, the second up to 1023 and the third up to 1223 K, the corresponding activation energy values being 62.2, 60.3 and 98.0 kJ mol^–1 , respectively. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Quantum-chemical investigation of the effect of solvent polarity on the direction of sulfonation of pyrrole

The relative stability of the isomeric σ-complexes formed in the sulfonation of pyrrole at the α-or β-position (the α-isomer is energetically more favorable) does not agree with the experimentally established positional selectivity of substitution (the formation of β-pyrrolesulfonic acid). However, quantum-chemical calculations of the energy parameters for the reaction of pyrrole and SO₃ with due regard to the solvation effect in the model solvent methylene chloride (ε = 8.93) lead to the conclusion that the calculated activation energy of the rearrangement to the more favorable β-pyrrolesulfonic acid for the less favorable β-isomer of the σ-complex is lower than on the path to the formation of the α-pyrrolesulfonic acid. It was shown that the significant increase in the polarity of the model medium in the transition to DMSO (ε = 46.7) does not lead to substantial change in the energy parameters of the reaction. The explanation for the positional selectivity during the sulfonation of pyrrole using Py·SO₃, according to previous data, involves the participation of the pyridine in the transformation of the σ-complexes into the products. The calculations were made by the B3LYP/6-31G(d) and HF/3-21+G methods using the model of overlapping spheres to take account of solvation. Dedicated to E. J. Lukevics on his 70th birthday __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 34–40, January, 2007.     

Efficient quantification of the importance of contacts for the dynamical stability of proteins

Understanding the stability of the native state and the dynamics of a protein is of great importance for all areas of biomolecular design. The efficient estimation of the influence of individual contacts between amino acids in a protein structure is a first step in the reengineering of a particular protein for technological or pharmacological purposes. At the same time, the functional annotation of molecular evolution can be facilitated by such insight. Here, we use a recently suggested, information theoretical measure in biomolecular design - the Kullback-Leibler-divergence - to quantify and therefore rank residue-residue contacts within proteins according to their overall contribution to the molecular mechanics. We implement this protocol on the basis of a reduced molecular model, which allows us to use a well-known lemma of linear algebra to speed up the computation. The increase in computational performance is around 10(1)- to 10(4)-fold. We applied the method to two proteins to illustrate the protocol and its results. We found that our method can reliably identify key residues in the molecular mechanics and the protein fold in comparison to well-known properties in the serine protease inhibitor. We found significant correlations to experimental results, e.g., dissociation constants and Φ values.     

Possibilities of determination of alteration degree of rocks by thermogravimetry

Rhyolite-rhyodacite tuff samples were analysed by X-ray powder diffraction, ICP-OES and thermogravimetric (TG) methods to determine mineral and major element composition as well as different types of bound water, respectively. Similarly to CIA values, some TG parameters (H₂O[I] — water released up to ca. 200–220°C; H₂O[III] — water loss above 500–550°C and H₂O[I+III]) show positive correlation to the amount of secondary minerals. Moreover, these parameters are in close positive correlation to CIA values. Our results suggest that TG determination of different types of bound water may serve as a useful tool for estimation and characterisation of alteration degree of rocks.     

Viscosity of aqueous solutions of some diamines

Viscosities of the systems, ethylenediamine (ED) + water (W), 1,2-diaminopropane (DAP) + W, trimethylenediamine (TMD) + W and N,N-dimethyltrimethylenediamine (DMTMD) + W, have been measured for the whole range of composition at temperatures ranging from 303.15 to 323.15?K. The viscosities have been plotted against the mole fraction of diamines, showing some common characteristics for all the systems. On addition of diamines to water viscosities rise up very rapidly and pass through maxima. Following the maxima viscosities decline quite rapidly and monotonously up to about 0.6 mole fraction of diamines, which then fall down rather slowly. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic effects are considered responsible for the ascending part of viscosities in water-rich region, although the former is thought to be much more predominant than the latter. The height of viscosity maxima and their shifting to more water-rich region have been explained preferentially in terms of the hydrophobic effect. The declining part of viscosities is thought to be due to continuous destruction of cage structures formed by hydrophobic interaction. The excess viscosities have been calculated and plotted against mole fractions of diamines. The characteristics of excess viscosities have been explained by the same reasonings as used to explain viscosities.

Characterization of the barrier properties of composites of HDPE and purified cellulose fibers

The present work presents and discusses the interrelation between composition, morphology, thermal history, mechanical and barrier properties to oxygen and limonene of composites of HDPE/MA-PE/cellulose fibers of significant interest in, among others, food packaging applications. From the overall results, it was observed that increasing the loading of purified alpha-cellulose fibers in the polyethylene matrix beyond 10 wt.% led to a decrease in the permeability coefficient of d-limonene, effect which was found to be primarily related to a decrease in the overall solubility of this strongly plasticizing aroma component. On the other hand, the oxygen permeability was found to decrease to a significant extend with increasing fiber content beyond 5 wt.%, but this effect was more strongly ascribed to a significant decrease in the diffusion coefficient. Therefore, the fibers are thought to generate a more tortuous path for the non-interacting gas molecules to travel across the composites thickness, even when tested at high relative humidity conditions. Optimum fiber loading levels in terms of overall property balance were found to be around 20 wt.%.

Synthesis of a Pair of Derivatives of N-Methylpyrrole Polyamide

A pair of derivatives of tetrameric N-methylpyrrole polyamide were synthesized in order to develop a new method for the study of interaction of the polyamide derivatives with DNA. Indole acetic acid and nicotinic acid were introduced to the polyamide in the synthesized compound, which showed an expected red shift in the UV spectrum. These compounds may function as a potential tool in the detection of the polyamide binding to DNA.
