Intrinsic reaction coordinate calculations were employed to confirm the connections of the transition states and products, and transition states were ascertained by the number of imaginary frequency （0 or 1）. The reaction mechanism was elucidated by the vibrational mode analysis and electronic population analysis, and the reaction rate constants were calculated with transition state theory.     

Density Functional Study on the Reaction Mechanism for the Reaction of Ni^＋ with Ethane

The mechanism of the reaction of Ni^ (^2D) with ethane in the gas-phase was studied by using density functional theory.Both the B3LYP and BLYP functionals with standard all-electron basis sets are used to give the detailed information of the potential energy surface (PES) of [Ni,C2,H6]^ . The mechanisms forming the products CH4 and H2 in the reaction of Ni^ with ethane are proposed.The reductive eliminations of CH4 and H2 are typical addition-elimination reactions.Each of the two reactions consists of two elementary steps:C-C or C-H bond activations to form inserted species followed by isomerizations to from product-like intermediate.The rate determining steps for the elimination reactions of forming CH4 and H2 are the isomerization of the inserted species rather than C-C or C-H bond activations .The elimination reaction of forming H2 was found to be thermodynamically favored compared to that of CH4.     

Experimental and Theoretical Study of Reactions between Manganese Oxide Cluster Cations and Hydrogen Sulfide

Manganese oxide cluster cations Mnm180n＋ were prepared by laser ablation and reacted with hydrogen sulfide （H2S） in a fast flow reactor under thermal collision conditions. A time-of-flight mass spectrometer was used to detect the cluster distributions before and after the interactions with H2S. The experiments suggest that oxygen-for-sulfur （O/S） ex- change reaction to release water took place in the reactor for most of the manganese oxide cluster cations： MnmlSOn＋＋H2S→Mnm18On-1S＋＋H218O. Density functional theory cal- culations were performed for reaction mechanisms of Mn202＋＋H2S, Mn203＋＋H2S, and Mn204＋＋H2S. The computational results indicate these O/S exchange reactions are both thermodynamically and kinetically favorable, thus in good agreement with the experimental observations. The O/S exchange reactions identified in this gas-phase cluster study parallel similar behavior of related condensed phase reaction systems.     

H2-induced CO adsorption and dissociation over Co/Al2O3 catalyst

The activation of adsorbed CO is an important step in CO hydrogenation. The results from TPSR of pre-adsorbed CO with H2 and syngas suggested that the presence of H2 increased the amount of CO adsorption and accelerated CO dissociation. The H2 was adsorbed first, and activated to form H＊ over metal sites, then reacted with carbonaceous species. The oxygen species for CO2 formation in the presence of hydrogen was mostly OH^＊, which reacted with adsorbed CO subsequently via CO^＊＋OH^＊ → CO2^＊＋H^＊; however, the direct CO dissociation was not excluded in CO hydrogenation. The dissociation of C-O bond in the presence of H2 proceeded by a concerted mechanism, which assisted the Boudourd reaction of adsorbed CO on the surface via CO^＊＋2H^＊ → CH^＊＋OH^＊. The formation of the surface species （CH） from adsorbed CO proceeded as indicated with the participation of surface hydrogen, was favored in the initial step of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.     

Competition between C-C and C-H Activation in Reactions of Neutral Nickel Atom with Cycloalkanes （n = 3-7）

A theoretical investigation of the reaction mechanisms for C-H and C-C bond activation processes in the reaction of Ni with cycloalkanes C,,H2. （n = 3-7） is carried out. For the Ni ＋ CnH2, （n = 3, 4） reactions, the major and minor reaction channels involve C-C and C-H bond activations, respectively, whereas Ni atom prefers the attacking of C-H bond over the C-C bond in CnH2n （n = 5=7）. The results are in good agreement with the experimental study. In all cases, intermediates and transition states along the reaction paths of interest are characterized, It is found that both the C-H and C-C bond activation processes are proposed to proceed in a one-step manner via one transition state. The overall C-H and C-C bond activation processes are exothermic and involve low energy barriers, thus transition metal atom Ni is a good mediator for the activity of cycloalkanes CnH2n （n = 3 -7）.     

Experimental and Theoretical Study of Hydrogen Atom Abstraction from Ethylene by Stoichiometric Zirconium Oxide Clusters

The reactions of cationic zirconium oxide clusters （ZrxOy^＋） with ethylene （C2H4） were investigated by using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer coupled with a laser ablation/supersonic expansion cluster source. Some hydrogen containing products （ZrO2）xH^＋（x=-1-4） were observed after the reaction. The density functional theory calculations indicate that apart from the common oxygen transfer reaction channel, the hydrogen abstraction channel can also occur in （ZrO2）x^＋＋C2H4, which supports that the observed （ZrO2）xH^＋ may be due to （ZrO2）x^＋＋C2H4→（ZrO2）xH^＋＋C2H3. The rate constants of different reaction channels were also calculated by Rice-Rarnsberger-Kassel-Marcus theory.     

Methane formation route in the conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons

The influence factors and paths of methane formation during methanol to hydrocarbons （MTH） reaction were studied experimentally and thermodynamically. The fixed-bed reaction results show that the formation of methane was favored by not only high temperature, but also high feed velocity, low pressure, as well as weak acid sites dominated on deactivated catalyst. The thermodynamic analysis results indicate that methane would be formed via the decomposition reactions of methanol and DME, and the hydrogenolysis reactions of methanol and DME. The decomposition reactions are thermal chemistry processes and easily occurred at high temperature. However, they are influenced by catalyst and reaction conditions through DME intermediate. By contrast, the hydrogenolysis reactions belong to catalytic processes. Parallel experiments suggest that, in real MTH reactions, the hydrogenolysis reactions should be mainly enabled by surface active H atom which might come from hydrogen transfer reactions such as aromatization. But H2 will be involved if the catalyst has active components like NiO.     

Laser Flash Photolysis on Electron Transfer Reactions between 1,8-Dihydroxyanthraquinone with Adenine and Cytosine

Electron transfer （ET） reactions between 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone （DHAQ） and two DNA bases, adenine （A） and cytosine （C）, have been investigated in CH3CN/H20 solution with nanosecond time-resolved laser flash photolysis. After irradiation at 355 nm, the triplet DHAQ is produced via intersystem crossing and reacts with two nucleobases. ET processes for both reactions have been definitely identified, in which two bases play a significant role of electron donor. Based on the measured decay dynamics of various intermediates and the corresponding quenching rates, an initial ET process followed by a secondary proton-transfer reaction is suggested for both the overall reactions. By plotting the observed quenching rate against the concentration of two DNA bases, the bimolecular quenching rate constants are determined as 9.0-10s L/（mol.s） for the 3DHAQ＊＋C reaction and 3.3x10^8 L/（mol.s） for the 3DHAQ＊＋A reaction, respectively.     

The First-principles Calculations of H2S Adsorption and Decomposition on the ZnO（0001） Surface

The adsorption and decomposition of H2S on the ZnO(0001) surface have been investigated with first-principles calculations.The results reveal that H2S is dissociatively adsorbed on the clean ZnO(0001) surface to generate HS-and hydrogen species.To our interest,as indicated by Mulliken charge and density of states of the configuration calculation,the bonding mechanism of H2S on the ZnO(0001) surface can involve the donation of charge from the "s lone pairs" into the surface and the back donation of surface electrons to H2S.Therefore,the electrons should play an important role in decomposition.Furthermore,the reactivity of H2S adsorption and further thermal decomposition reactions on the ZnO(0001) surface have also been discussed by calculating the possible reaction pathways.As expected,H2 will be easily generated during the decomposition process.     

Thermal benzene activation by 3d transition metal (Sc-Cu) oxide cations

Considering the importance and complexity of benzene oxidation on mineral oxide aerosol surfaces in the atmosphere,gas-phase 3 d-transition metal oxide cations were used as models of active sites on mineral oxide aerosols to mimic the corresponding reactions.The various cations have been prepared by laser ablation and reacted with benzene in a linear ion trap reactor.Of the 103 systematically investigated cations,39 clusters can oxidize benzene at room temperature.In addition to the adsorption channel,other five types of reaction channels were observed,including dehydrogenation of C6H6,charge exchange,hydrogen atom transfer,oxygen atom transfer,and the formation of C6H5O^+radical,among which the first two pathways are prevale nt and the formation of C6H6O^+cations has not been reported in literature.The insight into the benzene oxidation reactions derived from the gas-phase model systems is helpful to build a detailed picture of oxidative mechanisms of C6H6 and its derivatives over corresponding mineral oxide aerosols.     

激光溅射金属等离子体与醇类分子束反应的研究：产物离子对分子束状态的依赖性

The gas phase reactions of metal plasma with alcohol clusters were studied by time of flight mass spectrometry （TOFMS） using laser ablation-molecular beam （LAMB） method. The significant dependence of the product cluster ions on the molecular beam conditions was observed. When the plasma acted on the low density parts of the pulsed molecular beam, the metal-alcohol complexes M^＋An （M=Cu, Al, Mg, Ni and A=C2H5OH, CH3OH） were the dominant products, and the sizes of product ion clusters were smaller. While the plasma acted on the high density part of the beam, however, the main products turned to be protonated alcohol clusters H^＋An and, as the reactions of plasma with methanol were concerned, the protonated water-methanol complexes H3O^＋（CH3OH）n with a larger size （n≤12 for ethanol and n≤24 for methanol）. Similarly, as the pressure of the carrier helium gas was varied from 1 × 10^5 to 5 × 10^5 Pa, the main products were changed from M^＋An to H^＋An and the sizes of the clusters also increased. The changes in the product clusters were attributed to the different formation mechanism of the output ions, that is, the M^＋An ions came from the reaction of metal ion with alcohol clusters, while H^＋An mainly from collisional reaction of electron with alcohol clusters.     

Dehydration Kinetics of Zinc Phosphate Tetrahydrate α-Zn3（PO4）2·4H2O Nanoparticle

TG-DTG technique and Harcourt-Esson integrated equation were used to study the dehydration process of zinc phosphate tetrahydrate α-Zn3（PO4）2·4H2O nanoparticle and its thermal decomposition kinetics. The results show that there are three stages of dehydration between 300 and 800 K during the thermal decomposition of α-Zn3（PO4）2·4H2O nanoparticle. The first stage is controlled by chemical reaction with an activation energy of 69.48 kJ·mol^-1 and a pre-exponential factor of 1.77×10^6 s^-1. The second is controlled by nucleation and growth with an activation energy of 78.74 kJ·mol^-1 and a pre-exponential factor of 5.86×10^9 s^-1. The third is controlled by nucleation and growth with an activation energy of 141.5 kJ·mol^-1 and a pre-exponential factor of 1.01×10^12 s^-1. The kinetic compensative effects not only exist in Arrhenius equation but also in Harcourt-Esson equation. Activation energy E is dependent on both the decomposition fraction α and temperature T.

Thermochemical Properties and Decomposition Kinetics of Ammonium Magnesium Phosphate Monohydrate

Ammonium magnesium phosphate monohydrate NH4MgPO4·H2O was prepared via solid state reaction at room temperature and characterized by XRD, FT-IR and SEM. Thermochemical study was performed by an isoperibol solution calorimeter, non-isothermal measurement was used in a multivariate non-linear regression analysis to determine the kinetic reaction parameters.

Kinetics analysis shows that the second decomposition of NH4MgPO4·H2O acts as a double-step reaction： an nth-order reaction （Fn） with n=4.28, E1=147.35 kJ/mol, A1=3.63×10^13 s^-1 is followed by a second-order reaction （F2） with E2=212.71 kJ/mol, A2= 1.82 × 10^18 s^-1.     

A DFT Study of Thiophene Adsorption on the Rh（111） Surfaces

Thiophene adsorption on the Rh(111) surfaces has been investigated by density functional theory.The results show that the adsorption at the hollow and bridge sites is the most stable.The molecular plane of the thiophene ring is distorted,the C=C bond is stretched to 1.448  and the C-C bond is shortened to 1.390.The C-H bonds tilt 22～42oaway from the surface.The calculated adsorption geometries are in reasonable agreement with population analysis and density of states.The thiophene molecule obtains 0.74 electrons,reflecting the interaction between the lone pair of sulfur and the d-orbitals of metal.The reaction paths and transition states for desulfurization of the molecule have been investigated.The bridge adsorption structure of thiophene leads to a thiol via an activated reaction with an energetic barrier of 0.30 eV.This second step is slightly difficult,and dissociation into a C4H4 fragment and a sulfur atom is possible,with an energetic barrier of 0.40 eV.     

Systematic study of the transfer of amino acids across the water/1,2-dichloroethane interface facilitated by dibenzo-18-crown-6

Facilitated ion transfer reactions of 20 amino acids with dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) at the water/1,2-dichloroethane (W/DCE) interfaces supported at the tips of micro- and nano-pipets were investigated systematically using cyclic voltammetry. It was found that there were only 10 amino acids, that is, Leu, Val, lie, Phe, Trp, Met, Ala, Gly, Cys, Gin (in brief), whose protonated forms as cations can give well-defined facilitated ion transfer voltammograms within the potential window, and the reaction pathway was proven to be consistent with the transfer by interfacial complexation/dissociation (TIC/TID) mechanisms. The association constants of DB 18C6 with different amino acids in the DCE (β0), and the kinetic parameters of reaction were evaluated based on the steady-state voltammetry of micro- or nano-pipets, respectively. The experimental results demonstrated that the selectivity of complexation of protonated amino acid by DB18C6 compared with that of alkali metal cations was low, which can be attribu     

Study of Dehydrocoupling Reactions of Diorganotin Dihydrides R^1R^2SnH2 with Biuret

The reaction of unsymmetrical phenylmethyltin dihydride （PhMeSnH2）, phenylethyltin dihydride （PhEtSnH2）, phenylbutyltin dihydride （PhBuSnH2） and butylmethyltin dihydride （BuMeSnH2） with biuret （HAL） proceeds via SnH/NH dehydrocoupling to afford the corresponding tetra-coordinate cyclic products. The reactions in the molar ratios of 1 ： 1, 2 ： 1 and 1 ： 2 have been studied. The yellow derivatives so isolated were soluble in polar solvents and insoluble in nonpolar solvents. It was found that 1 ： 1 reaction went to completion while 2 ： 1 and 1 ： 2 did not go to completion. The derivatives had been characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques viz. IR, ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR, ^119Sn NMR. DSC and TGA of the reaction products have also been studied. All the derivatives were thermally stable upto （1904- 10）℃ and degradation occurred after that.     

Theoretical Study on the Reaction Mechanism of Ketene CH2CO with Isocyanate NCO Radical

The bimolecular single collision reaction potential energy surface of an isocyanate NCO radical with a ketene CH2CO molecule was investigated by means of B3LYP and QCISD（T） methods. The computed results indicate that two possible reaction channels exist on the surface. One is an addition-elimination reaction process, in which the CH2CO molecule is attacked by the nitrogen atom at its methylene carbon atom to lead to the formation of the intermediate OCNCH2CO followed by a C-C rupture channel to the products CH2NCO＋CO. The other is a direct hydrogen abstraction channel from CHzCO by the NCO radical to afford the products HCCO＋HNCO. Because of a higher barrier in the hydrogen abstraction reaction than in the addition-elimination reaction, the direct hydrogen abstraction pathway can only be considered as a secondary reaction channel in the reaction kinetics of NCO＋ CH2CO. The predicted results are in good agreement with previous experimental and theoretical investigations.     

Grafting of Hexafluoropropylene onto Polytetramethylene Glycol by Radical Reaction

A well-defined modification of polytetramethylene glycol （PTMG） was realized by radical grafting with hexafluoropropylene （HFP）. The structure of grafted product was confirmed by means of IR, ^1H NMR and ^13C NMR. The effects of the amount of initiator, reaction time and temperature on the grafting HFP onto PTMG were investigated.     

Study on the thermal decomposition kinetics of cis/trans-[Cu(gly)_2]·H_2O

The thermal decomposition reactions of the complexes cis/trans-[Cu(gly)2]·H2O were studied by TG-DSC methods. The results showed that they have similar decomposition process, which occur in two steps. The first step is the loss of water and the second step is the decomposition of anhydrous complexes. But for cis-[Cu(gly)2]·H2O, the temperature of losing water is higher than that of trans-isomer. Their reaction mechanisms of the two-step decomposition were also proposed.
