Efficient synthesis of β-aminoketones catalyzed by Fe3O4@ quillaja sapogenin/Ni (II) as a novel magnetic nano-catalyst

A new nano-magnetic core–shell Fe₃O₄@quillaja sapogenin/Ni (II) was synthesized and characterized thoroughly using various tests including energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The achievements demonstrated that the proposed agents were beneficial to synthesis the derivatives of β-aminoketone. Moreover, it was possible to recover the catalyst by means of simple magnetic decantation quickly. Besides, no reduction in the activity of the catalyst occurred, even though it was utilized in various reactions.

[Zn10(μ4-S)(μ3-S)6(Py)9(SO4)3] as a molecular model of ZnS surfaces: an experimental and theoretical study

Experimental and theoretical results pertaining to [Zn₁₀(μ₄-S)(μ₃-S)₆(Py)₉(SO₄)₃], a possible molecular model of ZnS S-terminated polar surfaces, as well as a potential source of strictly monodispersed ZnS quantum dots, are presented and discussed. The results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided a rationale for the peculiar arrangement of [Zn₁₀(μ₄-S)(μ₃-S)₆(Py)₉(SO₄)₃] clusters in the solid state, contemporarily indicating the unsuitability of the isolated species to mimic whatever (polar or non-polar) ZnS surface. Despite the fact that such a failure is further confirmed by time-dependent DFT and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, the combined use of theoretical outcomes, DRIFT measurements, and literature data pertaining to the surface chemical properties of ZnS (Hertl in Langmuir 4:594, 1988) ultimately testifies that [Zn₁₀(μ₄-S)(μ₃-S)₆(Py)₉(SO₄)₃] is perfectly suited to model the interaction of pyridine molecules with ZnS surface Lewis acid sites. The herein reported theoretical results are expected to be a useful reference for the interpretation of chemisorption experiments of Py-based Lewis bases on single crystal ZnS surfaces.

Layered manganese 4-phosphonoisophthalates （4-piH4） embedding Mn-O chains with metamagnetism in Mn3（4-piH）2（H2O）3·H2O

Two manganese phosphonates Mn3(4-piH)2(H2O)3·H2O (1) and Mn5(4-piH)2(4-piH2)2(phen)2(H2O)4 (2) (4-piH4 = 4-phosphonoisophthalic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions in the presence of organic co-ligand. Both compounds exhibit layer structures but with different topologies. In compound 1, a complicated "ladder-like" chain of {Mn3O3}O2 which contains three- and six-member rings made up of triangular shaped {Mn3O3} trimers is found. The chains are linked by the PO3C groups to form an inorganic layer. The phenyl and protonated carboxylate groups are pendent between the layers with extensive hydrogen bonds. In compound 2, tetramers of {Mn4O6} are connected by the {MnO6} octahedra through corner-sharing to form an infinite chain, which is further bridged by 4-piH3- ligands into a thick hybrid layer. Magnetic measurements reveal that antiferromagnetic interactions are dominant in both compounds. Metamag- netism is observed in compound 1 at low temperature, while no long range ordering is found in compound 2 down to 1.8 K.     

Observation of the novel “three-pointed star” cage-like （H2O）5cluster in a polymeric solid {[Ag2（bpp）2（H2O）2]（chd）·9H2O}n

Coordination polymeric solid, {[Ag 2 (bpp) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ](chd)·9H 2 O} n (1) (bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl) propane, H 2 chd = 1,4-cyclo-hexanedicarboxylic acid), has been obtained by the solution phase ultrasonic synthesis techniques. The structure established through X-ray structural analysis shows that the compound traps an interesting 1D water tape built by the alternating "three-pointed star" cage-like pentameric and D 2h tetrameric clusters (C2/c, Z = 4; a = 30.37(2) , b = 9.271(5) , and c = 18.89(1) ; β = 128.47°; V = 4164(4) 3 ). The novelty of the present complex is the rarely crystallographic example of the cage-shaped water pentamer, which is usually ascribed to a less-stable species. A first-principle density functional theory (DFT) calculation demonstrates that the interconnectivity between cage-like pentamers and D 2h tetramers is beneficial for contribution to the structural stabilization of these less-stable water cluster species.

Synthesis of nanosized bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) by a combustion method starting from Fe(NO3)3·9H2O-Bi(NO3)3·9H2O-glycine or urea systems

Two bismuth ferrite potential precursors systems, namely Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O-Bi(NO₃)₃·9H₂O-glycine/urea with different metal nitrate/organic compound molar ratios have been investigated in order to evaluate their suitability as BiFeO₃ precursors. The presence into the precursor of both reducing (glycine and urea) and oxidizing (NO₃⁻) components, modifies dramatically their thermal behaviour comparative with the raw materials, both from the decomposition stoichiometries and temperature occurrence intervals points of view. Also, the thermal behaviour is dependent on the fuel nature but practically independent with the fuel content. The fuel nature influences also some characteristics of the resulted oxides (phase composition, morphologies). In the case of the oxides prepared using urea as fuel, a faster evolution toward a single phase composition with the temperature rise is evidenced, the formation of the BiFeO₃ perovskite phase being completed in the temperature range of 500–550°C.

金属有机框架材料对[Fe（HB（pz）3）2] 自旋转换行为的影响

通过在介孔结构金属有机框架材料MIL^-101（Cr）和MIL^-100（Al）的孔洞中合成自旋交叉化合物[Fe（HB（pz）₃）₂] 的方法,可以得到SCO@MOF复合物。通过红外光谱（FTIR）、粉末X射线衍射（PXRD）、原子吸收光谱（AAS）以及气体吸附-脱附等进行了进一步测试。通过变温磁测量对复合材料的温度诱导自旋转换行为的研究表明,复合材料的自旋转换行为发生改变甚至是消失了。复合材料的这一现象可以解释为[Fe（HB（pz）3）2] 在MOF主体材料的孔洞中形成了一种新的结晶相,且孔壁压力将会阻碍[Fe（HB（pz）₃）₂] 从低自旋态向高自旋态转变。不同SCO@MOF复合物得到了相似的自旋转换行为结果。这确认了当自旋交叉化合物在金属有机框架材料孔洞中形成时,MOFs材料的限制压力或基体效应对其自旋转换行为的影响显然是至关重要的。     

Thermal behaviour of the system Fe(NO3)3?·?9H2O–Bi5O(OH)9(NO3)4?·?9H2O–glycine/urea and of their generated oxides (BiFeO3)

Activated carbons (AC), particularly those containing sulphur, are effective adsorbents for mercury (Hg) vapour at elevated temperatures. Activated carbon-based technologies are expected to become a major part of the strategy for controlling mercury emission from coal-fired power plants. Understanding the mechanism of mercury adsorption on sulphur impregnated activated carbons (SIAC) is essential to optimizing activated carbons for better mercury removal efficiency and to developing technologies for the handling of the spent AC. In this work thermal analysis before and after mercury uptake was carried out for the SIAC prepared under various conditions from oil-sand petroleum coke using a simultaneous differential thermal analyzer. Samples were heated at 20°C min⁻¹ under nitrogen in the temperature range from ambient to 1000°C. The DSC curves suggest both endothermic and exothermic changes during heating. The endothermic processes were attributed to evaporation of moisture and other volatile components. The exothermic processes existed in a wide temperature range of 150–850°C likely due to the oxidation reactions between carbon and adsorbed oxygen, oxygen-containing surface groups. The enthalpies of liquid mercury interaction with SIAC at different Hg/AC mass ratio were also measured at 30, 40 and 50°C using a differential scanning calorimeter. The combination of thermal analysis and calorimetry techniques enabled confirmation that the interaction of mercury with SIAC involves both physical and chemical processes.
