Physical and Electrochemical Characterization of Hydrothermal Prepared α'-NaV_2O_5 Crystals

α'-NaV2O5 was prepared by a simple hydrothermal process.X-ray diffraction confirmed the orthorhombic structure of α'-NaV2O5,with preferential growth along the (001) direction.Scanning electron microscopy showed α'-NaV2O5 was composed of flake-shaped crystals.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the co-existence of V4+ and V5+ in α'-NaV2O5,which results in an average V4.5+ oxidation state of α'-NaV2O5.The observed Raman bands are ascribed to different V―O vibrations.α'-NaV2O5 shows a reversible specific capacity of about 100 mA·h·g-1 between 3.5 and 1.0 V,with a good capacity retention.The good electrochemical stability of the material is attributed to its structural stability during Li+ intercalation.     

A new oxidovanadium(Ⅳ) Schiff base complex containing asymmetric tetradentate ONN0O0Schiff base ligand:Synthesis,characterization,crystal structure determination,thermal study and catalytic activity

After synthesis of an asymmetric tetradentate ONN0O0 Schiff base ligand(H2L) followed by reaction of the synthesized H2 L with an equimolar mixture of methanolic solutions of the VO(acac)2, a new oxidovanadium(IV) Schiff base complex(VOL) was synthesized. The Schiff base ligand and its complex were characterized by FT-IR and UV–vis spectra and C, H, N analysis. The crystal structure of VOL was also determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. The VOL complex crystallizes in monoclinic space group Cc. The Schiff base ligand acts as a tetradentate ligand through its two iminic nitrogens and two phenolic and acetylacetonate oxygens. Thermogravimetric analysis of the VOL showed that it decomposes in two steps and converts to mixed vanadium oxides at 477 8C. In addition, thermal decomposition of the VOL complex in air at 660 8C leads to formation of V2O5 nanoparticles with the average size estimated from XRD 49 nm. The catalytic activity of the VOL complex was investigated in the epoxidation reaction and different reaction parameters were optimized. The results showed that the cyclic alkenes were efficiently converted to the corresponding epoxides, whereas the VOL did not appreciably convert the linear alkenes.

Insights into the H_2O/V_2O_5 Interface Structure for Optimizing Water-splitting

The interaction of water(H2O) with metal oxide surfaces is of fundamental importance to various fields of science, ranging from batteries to catalysis. In particular, vanadium pentoxide(V2O5) has been widely used as electrode materials for aqueous-battery and catalysts. Herein, theoretical(density functional theory) study gives atomic-scale insights into water monolayers in V2O5 and single-molecule adsorption and dissociation at three low-index surfaces and oxygen-vacancy V2O5(001) surface. The H2O/V2O5 interface structure was identified. The results show that H2O is adsorbed on the stoichiometric V2O5(001) surface with physisorption mechanism, and the dissociation hardly occurs. Water adsorbs as an intact monomer with a computed binding energy of 0.75 eV. The formation of ordered water overlayers has been observed on V2O5(001) surface, suggesting a locally ordered superstructure of molecular water. The molecular H2O adsorption on oxygen-vacancy V2O5(001) surface is stronger than that on the stoichiometric V2O5(001) surface, and H2O can undergo dissociative chemisorption to form a surface hydroxyl group and a H adatom. V2O5 can take the oxygen from H2O, which is consistent with the experimental results.

电场增强催化作用探讨

The effect of equi weight electrostatic field on transesterification of MeCOOBu with EtOH in the presence of base catalyst in liquid phase was investigated. The conversion of forward reaction and backward reaction was slightly enhanced in the equi weight field ( E =1×10 5 V/m). SCC DV X α calculations showed that the HOMO energy level of CH 2O was decreased by about 9 6 eV in H + field, while increased by about 23 7 eV in O 2- field. It is concluded that the activation energy of the reaction in equi weight electrostatic field is almost the same as in free field, owing to the same potential energy change of the reactants, transition states and products. In the unequi weight electrostatic field, the negative charge center seems to be the active site for reactants or products, while the positive one seems to be the active site for transition states, resulting in great decrease in the activation energy.     

Coordination field analysis of rare earth complexes with triangular symmetry

The calculation of the complex matrixes in odd triangular symmetry was accomplished.The configurations of the coordination unit with various triangular symmetries and different ligand numbers were discussed.On the basis of the double-sphere coordination point-charge (DSCPCF) model,the detailed forms of the DSCPCF parameters Bmk and the expressions of the perturbation matrix elements in triangular field (D3,D3h,D3d) were derived.Thereby,the calculation scheme of coordination field perturbation energy of the rare earth complexes with triangular symmetry was constructed After the calculation scheme was programmed,the Stark energies of the crystalline TbAl3(BO3)4 were calculated The results were considerably close to the experimental values     

Theoretical study of spin-orbit coupling and intersystem crossing in the two-state reaction between Nb(NH2)3 and N2O

The two-state mechanism of the reaction of Nb(NH2)3 with N2O on the singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces has been investigated at the B3LYP level.Crossing points between the potential energy surfaces have been located using different methods.Analysis of the strain model shows that the singlet state of the four-coordinate(N2O)Nb(NH2)3 complex with N2O bonded via terminal N atom coordination(12) is more stable in the initial stage of reaction,since the bending of the N2O fragment [Edef(N2O) = 86.1 kcal mol-1] results in an energy splitting of the doubly degenerate LUMO;the low-energy LUMO can now strongly couple with the occupied Nb-localized d orbitals,forming a back-bond and transferring charge(q = 0.82 e) from Nb(NH2)3 to the N2O ligand.Going from 32 to 12,the reacting system changes spin multiplicity near the MECP(minimal energy crossing point) region,which takes place with a spin crossing barrier of 9.6-10.0 kcal mol-1.Analysis of spin-orbit coupling(SOC) indicates that MECP will produce a significant SOC matrix element.The value of SOC is 111.52 cm-1,due to the electron shift between two perpendicular φ orbitals with the same rotation direction,and the magnitude of the spin-multi-plicity mixing increases in the small energy gap between high-and low-spin states,greatly enhancing the probability of intersystem crossing.The probabilities of single(P1 ISC) and double(P2 ISC) passes estimated at MECP(SOC = 111.52 cm-1) are approximately 1.17×10-2 and 2.32×10-2,respectively.     

Theoretical Study of Hydrated Cd~（2＋） Interactions with Guanine

Theoretical study was performed to investigate how the hydration of cadmium ca-tion influences the structure and properties of guanine.The aqueous environment was simulated by both explicit solvent(1-5 water molecules) model and implicit solvent model.For complexes in which Cd2+ attached to the N(7) and O(6) sites of guanine,energy analysis together with the Natural Bonding Orbital(NBO) analysis were performed to elucidate the bonding characteristics in detail.The most stable structures are penta-coordinate complexes without aqua ligand located at the guanine site.Higher number of water ligands corresponds to higher stabilization energies.Average bonding energies of G-Cd increase with the number of water molecules.Bonding energies of water ligands depend on its position in the complexes.The charge distribution of guanine changed with increasing the number of water ligands,which may also influence the base-pairing pattern of guanine.There is positive charge transfer from guanine to aqua ligand as the number of the hydration waters increases.IEFPCM optimization has results comparable to the [CdG(H2O)5]2+ structure 5a.     

Ab initio Studies on the Fe-S Protein Model Complexes

In this paper, ab initio calculations of the iron-sulfur protein model complexes have been completed on Fe_2S_2(SH)_2~(n-) and Fe_4S_4(SH)_4~(n-)(n=2, 3). The results indicate that the occupied terminal sulfur characteristic orbitals are found in the front orbital site and the energy levels of the occupied Fe 3d-like orbitals appear internally below the S-H bonding orbitals in the valence band. Although the energy sequence is different from what was reported in literature, our results are in agreement with the relevant experimental facts. We have discussed the reason that variations of the active sites are produced by various oxidation levels. The action mechanism of the Fe-S proteins as electron carriers in the biological processes is also explored preliminarily.     

Propylene Dimerization by（η^5—C9H7）2 Nickel（Ⅱ）Catalytic System

The catalytic performance of Ni(η^5-Ind)2 complex in the dimerization of propylene was studied in combimation with an organoaluminum co-catalyst,eventually in the presence of a phosphine ligand.The effects of the type of aluminum co-catalyst and its relative amount,the nature of phosphine ligand and P/Ni ratio as well as the reaction temperature were examined.The results indicated that the nickel precatalyst exhibited high productivity for the propylene dimerization together with organoaluminum.It was likely to strongly modify the reactivity in the catalytic sytem when using phosphine ligand as additives,especially at the reaction temperature below 0℃.The catalytic system based on Ni(η^5-Ind)2 complex displaed an extremely high productivity(TOF up to 16900h^-1)and a good regioselectivity to 2,3-dimethylbutenes (2,3-DMB) in dimers(66.4%)under proper reaction parameters.     

Preparation and Characterization of Divanadium Pentoxide Nanowires inside SBA-15 Channels

One-dimensional V2O5 nanowires have been synthesized inside the channels of mesoporous silica SBA-15 through chemical approach, which involves aminosilylation of silanol groups on the silica surface, anchoring of isopoly acid, H6V10O28, by neutralization of basic amine groups, and thermal decomposition. The formation and physicochemical properties of the nanowires were monitored and studied by TG-DTA, variable temperature in situ XRD, TEM, N2 sorption measurements and UV-Vis DRS. The results indicate that V2O5 nanowires formed within SBA-15 channels belong to orthorhombic polycrystal domains. The oxygen-to-metal charge transfer band of V2O5 nanowires shows a blue shift in comparison with bulk V2O5, which clearly exhibits the quantum size effect of nanowires.

一种新型高比表面积 TiO2载体在 NH3选择性催化还原反应中对 V2O5分散性的促进作用

A titania support with a large surface area was developed, which has a BET surface area of 380.5 m2/g, four times that of a traditional titania support. The support was ultrasonically impregnated with 5 wt%vanadia. A special heat treatment was used in the calcination to maintain the large sur‐face area and high dispersion of vanadium species. This catalyst was compared to a common V2O5‐TiO2 catalyst with the same vanadia loading prepared by a traditional method. The new cata‐lyst has a surface area of 117.7 m2/g, which was 38%higher than the traditional V2O5‐TiO2 catalyst. The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) performance demonstrated that the new catalyst had a wid‐er temperature window and better N2 selectivity compared to the traditional one. The NO conver‐sion was>80%from 200 to 450 °C. The temperature window was 100 °C wider than the traditional catalyst. Raman spectra indicated that the vanadium species formed more V‐O‐V linkages on the catalyst prepared by the traditional method. The amount of V‐O‐Ti and V=O was larger for the new catalyst. Temperature programmed desorption of NH3, temperature programmed reduction by H2 and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that its redox ability and total acidity were enhanced. The results are helpful for developing a more efficient SCR catalyst for the removal of NOx in flue gases.
