The γ(HO₂) was elevated with increase of Cu(II) concentrations in aqueous (NH₄)₂SO₄ aerosol. The threshold of Cu(II) concentration was 10^-3 mol/L for the dramatic increase of γ(HO₂) to 0.1, suggesting sensitive γ(HO₂) value to concentration of transition metal ions in aerosol.     

(Z)-1-methoxy-4-(diphenylphosphino) but-1-ene-3-yne: A versatile synthon for unsymmetrically substituted (diphenylphosphino) diacetylene derivatives

An efficient synthesis of Ph₂P-C≡C-C≡C-Li, 1, was found, starting from commercially available (Z)-1-methoxybut-1-ene-3-yne and its diphenylphosphino derivative 2. The lithio compound 1 was condensed with electrophiles to give Ph₂P-C≡C-C≡C—Σ (Σ = SiR₃, SnR₃, B(NⁱPr)₂) 3. Compound 2 was easily transformed into the phosphonium salt 6 and the phosphine oxide 7 using MeI and H₂O₂ respectively. Derivatives 3 (Σ = SiMe₃, SnMe₃) are reactive at phosphorus and at the Σ group; complexation with W(CO)₅THF gave the expected derivatives W(CO)₅Ph₂P-C≡C-C≡C—Σ (Σ = SiMe₃, SnMe₃), 10, and in the case of Σ = SnMe₃, coupling reaction between Ph₂P-C≡-C-C≡C-SnMe₃, 3c, and (η⁵-IC₅H₄)Mn(CO)₃ in the presence of PdCl₂(CH₃CN)₂ as a catalyst gave the complex 11, Ph₂P-C≡C-C≡C-(η⁵-C₅H₄)Mn(CO)₃.

The variation trends of coupling interaction calculated are in agreement with experimental ones.     

α-Fe_2O_3 immobilized benzimidazolium tribromide as novel magnetically retrievable catalyst for one-pot synthesis of highly functionalized piperidines

Nanostructured α-Fe_2O_3 were prepared by precipitation followed by calcination method.Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB) was used as surfactant.The nano α-Fe_2O_3 was then silanized with(3-chloropropyl)-triethoxysilane(CPTES) by room temperature mixing of α-Fe_2O_3 and CPTES to produce silane coated α-Fe_2O_3(ClPr-Si@Fe_2O_3).As-synthesized ClPr-Si@Fe_2O_3 was functionalized via covalent grafting of benzimidazole to produce 3-(l-benzimidazole)Pr-Si@Fe_2O_3.This was further reacted with bromine to afford α-Fe_2O_3 immobilized benzimidazolium tribromide(α-Fe_2O_3-BIM tribromide).This ionic liquid(IL)α-Fe_2O_3 BIM tribromide was characterized by FT-IR,XRD,TEM,SEM,TGA,VSM,EDX and BET analysis.The as-synthesized IL tribromide was used as catalyst for one-pot synthesis of highly substituted piperidines.The method is greener in terms of solvent selection,recovery of the catalyst and efficiency.     

Sterically demanding cyclopentadienyl chemistry: synthesis of iron and zirconium complexes of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindenyl

Reaction of phenyl magnesium bromide with the ,β-unsaturated ketone 3-methyl-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydroind-8(9)-en-1-one, followed by an aqueous work-up, generates the pro-chiral tetra-substituted cyclopentadiene, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindene, Cp^‡H, a precursor to the η⁵-cyclopentadienyl ligand in (Cp^‡)₂Fe and [(Cp^‡)Fe(CO)]₂(μ-CO)₂. Both complexes were generated as mixtures of rac-(RR and SS)- and meso-(RS)-isomers, and in either case pure meso-isomer was isolated by crystallisation and characterised by single crystal X-ray structure, both molecules having crystallographic C_i symmetry. Reduction with Na/Hg cleaves meso-(RS)-[(Cp^‡)Fe(CO)]₂(μ-CO)₂ and the resulting mixture of (R)- and (S)-[(Cp^‡)Fe(CO)₂]⁻ anions reacts with MeI to give racemic (Cp^‡)Fe(CO)₂Me, which was characterised by the X-ray crystal structure. The Cp^‡ ligand is more electron donating than (η-C₅H₅) as revealed by the reduction potential of the (Cp^‡)₂Fe⁺/(Cp^‡)₂Fe couple, E°=−0.127 V (vs. Ag  AgCl). Reaction of LiCp^‡ with ZrCl₄ yields the zirconocene dichloride [Zr(Cp^‡)₂Cl₂] as mixture of rac- and meso-isomers, from which pure rac-isomer is obtained as a mixture of RR and SS crystals by recrystallisation. The reaction of rac-[Zr(Cp^‡)₂Cl₂] with LiMe gives rac-[Zr(Cp^‡)₂Me₂]. The structures of RR-[Zr(Cp^‡)₂Cl₂] and rac-[Zr(Cp^‡)₂Me₂] have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The structural studies reveal the influence of the bulky substituted cyclopentadienyl ligand on the metal---Cp^‡ distances and other metric parameters.     

Preparation, properties, and reactions of metal-containing heterocycles: Part CV. Synthesis and structure of polyoxadiphosphaplatinaferrocenophanes

A series of novel heterobimetallic crown ether-like polyoxadiphosphaplatinaferrocenophanes cis-[1,1′-Fc(CH₂O(CH₂CH₂O)_nCH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂]PtCl₂ (n=1–3) (4a–c) was synthesized in good yield by cyclization of the bis(phosphine) ligands 1,1′-Fc(CH₂O(CH₂CH₂O)_nCH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂ (n=1–3) (3a–c) and (PhCN)₂PtCl₂ under high dilution conditions in CH₂Cl₂. The bisphosphines 3a–c are obtained by reaction of the corresponding diols 1,1′-Fc(CH₂O(CH₂CH₂O)_nCH₂CH₂OH)₂ (n=1–3) (1a–c) with: (i) CH₃SO₂Cl in CH₂Cl₂ and (ii) LiPPh₂ in THF. Although the X-ray crystal structure of 4a shows that the cavity is large enough for the encapsulation of small metal cations, inclusion experiments of 4a–c with Group 1 cations, and Mg²⁺, or NH₄⁺ in solution applying NMR titration and cyclovoltammetric methods reveal no evidence for the formation of host–guest complexes for 4a,b. In the case of 4c only the addition of Na⁺ or K⁺ leads to an insignificant effect.     

Synthesis of titania and titanate nanomaterials and their application in environmental analytical chemistry

TiO₂ nanoparticles and H₂Ti₂O₅·H₂O, Na₂Ti₂O₄(OH)₂ nanotubes were synthesized by solvothermal method and their applications in the degradation of active Brilliant-blue (KN-R) solution were investigated. The experimental results revealed that the synthesized TiO₂ nanoparticles had a good crystallinity and a narrow size distribution (about 4–5 nm); the obtained H₂Ti₂O₅·H₂O, Na₂Ti₂O₄(OH)₂ were tubelike products with an average diameter of 20–30 and 200–300 nm length. The three catalysts we synthesized had some hydroxyl groups and the maximum absorption boundaries of the samples were all red-shifted, which indicated the samples had a promising prospect in photocatalysis.

The results of the photocatalytic experiments indicated that the photocatalytic activity of the samples was: TiO₂ > H₂Ti₂O₅·H₂O > Na₂Ti₂O₄(OH)₂, which was in good accordance with the fact of FTIR and UV–vis absorption spectra. The formation mechanism of these nanostructures was also discussed.

Preparation and characterization of sulfated zirconia (SO4/ZrO2)/Nafion composite membranes for PEMFC operation at high temperature/low humidity

Fine particle superacidic sulfated zirconia (SO₄²⁻/ZrO₂, S-ZrO₂) was synthesized by ameliorated method, and composite membranes with different S-ZrO₂ contents were prepared by a recasting procedure from a suspension of S-ZrO₂ powder and Nafion solution. The physico-chemical properties of the membranes were studied by ion exchange capacity (IEC) and liquid water uptake measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, thermogravimetry–mass spectrometry (TG–MS) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The results showed that the IEC of composite membrane increased with the content of S-ZrO₂, S-ZrO₂ was compatible with the Nafion matrix, the incorporation of the S-ZrO₂ could increase the crystallinity and also improve the initial degradation temperature of the composite membrane. The performance of single cell was the best when the S-ZrO₂ content was 15 wt.%, and achieved 1.35 W/cm² at 80 °C and 0.99 W/cm² at 120 °C based on H₂/O₂ and at a pressure of 2 atm, the performance of the single cell with optimized S-ZrO₂ was far more than that of the Nafion at the same condition (e.g. 1.28 W/cm² at 80 °C, 0.75 W/cm² at 120 °C). The 15 wt.% S-ZrO₂/Nafion composite membrane showed lower fuel cell internal resistance than Nafion membranes at high temperature and low relative humidity (RH).

The electrolyte NRTL model and speciation approach as applied to multicomponent aqueous solutions of H2SO4, Fe2(SO4)3, MgSO4 and Al2(SO4)3 at 230–270 °C

This work presents chemical modeling of solubilities of metal sulfates in aqueous solutions of sulfuric acid at high temperatures. Calculations were compared with experimental solubility measurements of hematite (Fe₂O₃) in aqueous ternary and quaternary systems of H₂SO₄, MgSO₄ and Al₂(SO₄)₃ at high temperatures. A hybrid model of ion-association and electrolyte non-random two liquid (ENRTL) theory was employed to fit solubility data in three ternary systems H₂SO₄–MgSO₄–H₂O, H₂SO₄–Al₂(SO₄)₃–H₂O at 235–270 °C and H₂SO₄–Fe₂(SO₄)₃–H₂O at 150–270 °C. Employing the Aspen Plus™ property program, the electrolyte NRTL local composition model was used for calculating activity coefficients of the ions Al³⁺, Mg²⁺ Fe³⁺ and SO₄²⁻, HSO₄⁻, OH⁻, H₃O⁺, respectively, as well as molecular species. The solid phases were hydronium alunite (H₃O)Al₃(SO₄)₂(OH)₆, hematite Fe₂O₃ and magnesium sulfate monohydrate (MgSO₄)·H₂O which were employed as constraint precipitation solids in calculating the metal sulfate solubilities. A correlation for the equilibrium constants of the association reactions of complex species versus temperature was implemented. Based on the maximum-likelihood principle, the binary interaction energy parameters for the ionic species as well as the coefficients for equilibrium constants of the reactions were obtained simultaneously using the solubility data of the ternary systems. Following that, the solubilities of metal sulfates in the quaternary systems H₂SO₄–Fe₂(SO₄)₃–MgSO₄–H₂O, H₂SO₄–Fe₂(SO₄)₃–Al₂(SO₄)₃–H₂O at 250 °C and H₂SO₄–Al₂(SO₄)₃–MgSO₄–H₂O at 230–270 °C were predicted. The calculated results were in excellent agreement with the experimental data.     

Thermal decomposition study on mixed ligand thymine complexes of divalent nickel(II) with dianions of some dicarboxylic acids

Thermal decomposition of mixed ligand thymine (2,4-dihydroxy-5-methylpyrimidine) complexes of divalent Ni(II) with aspartate, glutamate and ADA (N-2-acetamido)iminodiacetate dianions was monitored by TG, DTG and DTA analysis in static atmosphere of air. The decomposition course and steps of complexes [Ni(C₅H₆N₂O₂)(C₄H₅NO₄)²⁻(H₂O)₂]·H₂O, [Ni(C₅H₆N₂O₂)(C₅H₇NO₄)²⁻(H₂O)₂]·H₂O and [Ni(C₅H₆N₂O₂)(C₆H₈N₂O₅)²⁻(H₂O)₂]·1.5H₂O were analyzed. The final decomposition products are found to be the corresponding metal oxides. The kinetic parameters namely, activation energy (E*), enthalpy (ΔH*), entropy (ΔS*) and free energy change of decomposition (ΔG*) are calculated from the TG curves using Coats–Redfern and Horowitz–Metzger equations. The stability order found for these complexes follows the trend aspartate > ADA > glutamate.     

Mononuclear Pt(II) and Pd(II) 1,4-dithiolato complexes. Crystal structures of [Pt((−) DIOS) (PPh3)2] and [Pd(S(CH2) 4S)(Ph2P(CH2) 3PPh2)]. Application in styrene hydroformylation

Addition of 1,4-dithiols to dichloromethane solutions of [PtCl₂(P-P)] (P-P = (PPh₃)₂, Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PPh₂, Phd₂P(CH₂)₄PPh₂; 1,4-dithiols = HS(CH₂)₄SH, (−)DIOSH₂ (2,3-O-isopropylidene-1,4-dithiol-l-threitol), BINASH₂ (1,1′-dinaphthalene-2,2′-dithiol)) in the presence of NEt₃ yielded the mononuclear complexes [Pt(1,4-dithiolato)(P-P)]. Related palladium(II) complexes [Pd(dithiolato)(P-P)] (P-P=Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PPh₂, Ph₂P(CH₂)₄PPh₂; dithiolato = ⁻S(CH₂)₄S⁻, (−)-DIOS) were prepared by the same method. The structure of [Pt((−)DIOS)(PPh₃)₂] and [Pd(S(CH₂)₄S)(Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PPh₂)] complexes was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Pt—dithiolato—SnC1₂ systems are active in the hydroformylation of styrene. At 100 atm and 125°C [Pt(dithiolate)(P-P)]/SnCl₂ (Pt:Sn = 20) systems provided aldehyde conversion up to 80%.     

A new route to complexes containing the tetracarbon (C4) ligand

Pyrolysis of a solution of {Ru₃(CO)₁₁}₂(μ-bdpp) (bdpp = bis(diphenylphosphino)butadiyne) yielded the complex {Ru₃(μ-PPh₂)(CO)₉}₂(μ₆-C₄), which contains a μ₆-C₄ ligand symmetrically bridging two Ru₃(μ-PPh₂)(CO)₉ clusters. When the complex {Fe(CO)₄}₂(μ-bdpp) was heated in the presence of Fe₂(CO)₉ another example of a C₄ complex, {Fe₂(μ-PPh₂)(CO)₆}₂(μ-C₄), was obtained. Both complexes were characterised by X-ray structure determinations; the C₄ ligand behaves as a buta-1,3-diyne-1,4-diyl system.     

The formation and stability of hydrated and anhydrous uranyl phosphates

The stabilities of the hydrated uranyl phosphates (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂ · 4 H₂O, UO₂HPO₄ · 4 H₂O, and UO₂(H₂PO₄) · 3 H₂O have been reinvestigated. The compounds identified by thermal analysis have been prepared isothermally and characterized by their strongest X-ray reflections. During dehydration, oxygen was not evolved and the crystalline compounds (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂, (UO₂)₂P₂O₇, UO₂(PO₃)₂, and probably (UO₂)₃P₄O)₁₃ were found.

At still higher temperatures, the uranyl phosphates are reduced. The decomposition products lose phosphorus oxide above 1300–1400°C. The present results are summarized in a tentative pseudo-binary phase diagram UO_x(x = 3 to 2)—UO₂(PO₃)₂.     

Inelastic scattering matrix elements, cross sections and rate constants for transition B(P1/2) + H2(j = 0) ↔ B(P3/2) + H2(j = 0)

The non-adiabatic wave packet collisions of B(²P_1/2) + H₂(j = 0) ↔ B(²P_3/2) + H₂(j = 0) were calculated using the time dependent Channel Packet Method to compute transition probabilities, cross sections and rate constants. While the H₂ angular momentum j was fixed to 0, the total angular momentum of the system J, was varied from 1/2 to 153/2. The feature of the Stückelberg oscillation was shown in transition probabilities. The transition from B(²P_3/2) to B(²P_1/2) state was shown to be favored over the reverse process. The ratio of the computed rate constants was well compared with that of the analytic result obtained from the Boltzmann factor and the detailed balance.     

Photophysics of ruthenium(II) complexes with 2-(2′-pyridyl) pyrimidine and 2,2′-bipyridine ligands in fluid solution

The photophysics of three complexes of the form Ru(bpy)₃₋(pypm)²⁺ (where bpy2,2′-bipyridine, pypm 2-(2′-pyridyl)pyrimidine and P=1, 2 or 3) was examined in H₂O, propylene carbonate, CH₃CN and 4:1 (v/v) C₂H₅OH---CH₃OH; comparison was made with the well-known photophysical behavior of Ru(bpy)₃²⁺. The lifetimes of the luminescent metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states were determined as a function of temperature (between −103 and 90 °C, depending on the solvent), from which were extracted the rate constants for radiative and non-radiative decay and ΔE, the energy gap between the MLCT and metal-centered (MC) excited states. The results indicate that ^*Ru(bpy)₂(pypm)²⁺ decays via a higher lying MLCT state, whereas ^*Ru(pypm)₃²⁺ and ^*Ru(pypm)₂(bpy)²⁺ decay predominantly via the MC state.
