Scope and limitations of HClO4-SiO2 as an extremely efficient, inexpensive, and reusable catalyst for chemoselective carbon-sulfur bond formation

The scope and limitations of perchloric acid adsorbed on silica gel (HClO₄-SiO₂) as a highly efficient, inexpensive, and reusable catalyst for chemoselective carbon-sulfur bond formation by conjugate addition of thiols to α,β-unsaturated ketones under solvent-free conditions and at rt are reported. In the case of 1,3-diphenylpropenone, the reactions were best carried out either at 80 °C under solvent-free conditions or at rt in MeOH. The reaction of aryl, arylalkyl, alkyl thiols, and alkane dithiols with cyclic and acyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones afforded excellent yields of the corresponding β-sulfidocarbonyls after 2 min to 2 h. In the case of dithiols, the bis-thia-Michael adducts were formed. The rate of the reaction was found to be dependent on the electronic and steric factors of the α,β-unsaturated ketones and the thiols. A substituent at the β-carbon of the α,β-unsaturated ketone offered steric hindrance for conjugate addition and such substrates required longer times. In case of aromatic thiols, the presence of the nitro group reduced the nucleophilicity of the sulfhydryl sulfur atom resulting in slower rate of reaction for 4-nitrothiophenol compared to that of thiophenol and 4-methylthiophenol. For alkane thiol, the reaction rate was influenced by the steric crowding of the alkyl group attached to the sulfhydryl moiety. The rate of reaction for alkane thiols was sluggish compared to that of aryl thiols. The influence of the β-substituent on the rate of thia-Michael addition was utilized for selective reaction during inter-molecular competitions of cyclohexen-2-one versus 3-methyl-2-cyclohexenone, cyclohexen-2-one versus 4-methyl-3-penten-2-one, and 4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one versus 4-methyl-3-penten-2-one with thiophenol with 100:0, 91:9, and 70:30 selectivities, respectively. The difference in the rate of reaction of thiophenol and 4-nitrothiophenol was also reflected during the inter-molecular competition for the reaction with cyclohexen-2-one with an excellent selectivity of 100:0. The influence of the steric factor of the alkyl group in alkane thiol resulted in 62:38 selectivity during the inter-molecular competition of ethane thiol and tert-butanethiol with cyclohexen-2-one. During inter- and intra-molecular competitions of thia- versus aza- and thia- versus oxa-Michael addition reactions, chemoselective thia-Michael addition took place. The chemoselective thia-Michael addition over aza-Michael addition during intra-molecular competion reactions with 2-aminothiophenol was utilized for an efficient one-pot synthesis of benzothiazepines.

Li2O-TiO2-SiO2-P2O5和Li2O-TiO2-Al2O3-P2O5体系锂离子固体电解质的制备及性能研究

一些具有NASICON型网格结构的固体电解质具有高的电导率和好的稳定性,NASICON的意思是Na Super Ionic Conductor[1]。当NaZr2(PO4)3中P5 被Si4 部分取代时便可以得到具有NASICON结构的Na1 xZr2SixP3-xO12体系,其具有高的钠离子电导率。然而有相同结构的Li1 xZr2SixP3-xO12体系的离子电导率却很低,这是因为Li 半径太小,而NASICON三维网格结构的离子通道太大,两者不匹配而使电导率下降[2]。但当LiZr2(PO4)3中Zr4 被离子半径小些的Ti4 取代,所得LiTi2(PO4)3的通道就与Li 半径相匹配,适合于锂离子的迁移,从而使其电导率…     

V2O5 / TiO2-SiO2表面酸性对选择性催化还原NO及抗碱金属性能的影响

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备出不同配比的V2O5/TiO2-SiO2催化剂,运用低温氮吸附-脱附、XRD、FTIR对催化剂进行表征,对NH3法选择性催化还原氮氧化物(SCR)的行为及抗碱金属性能进行了研究.结果显示复合催化剂比表面积达125～413 m2·g-1,表面酸强和酸量不同程度增加,其中载体中含50%SiO2的催化剂(V5ST)表面酸量最大,在典型SCR反应温度350 ℃下Lewis酸很稳定,Bronsted 酸稍有减少.V5ST相比传统催化剂V2O5/TiO2表现出更佳SCR活性和抗中毒性能,其原因可能是部分钾优先与催化剂表面酸结合,从而降低了对钒活性物种的毒害.不同温度下失活程度的对比表明:低温条件下SCR活性主要依赖于B酸,随反应温度升高,稳定的L酸逐渐开始发挥主导作用,失活程度相应较低.

Preparation of COF2 using CO2 and F2 in the electrochemical cell with PbSnF4 as a solid electrolyte

Tetragonal PbSnF₄ was prepared by precipitation method with Pb(NO₃)₂ and SnF₂ aqueous solutions. The product was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XFS), and the other chemical analyses. Tetragonal PbSnF₄ exhibited the highest electric conductivity of 3.2 Sm⁻¹ at 473 K in air as a fluoride ion conductor. We have investigated the possibility of COF₂ formation using CO₂ and F₂ in an electrochemical cell with PbSnF₄ as a solid electrolyte. At same time, we tried to produce an electric power from an electrochemical cell. This CO₂/F₂ electrochemical cell was constructed with a tetragonal PbSnF₄ disk having Au electrodes. The electromotive force was about 0.9 V at room temperature for 0.1 MPa CO₂/(0.01 MPa F₂ + 0.09 MPa Ar). However, the short circuit current density was 0.24 A m⁻², which was quite small. This current density was so small that no fluorocarbon compound was detected after 3 h discharge using FT-IR.     

Preparation of ZrO2-TiO2-CeO2 and Its Application in the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO with NH3

TiO₂,ZrO₂-TiO₂,andZrO₂-TiO₂-CeO₂ were prepared by co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface area measurements (BET), temperature programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD), oxygen storage capacity (OSC), and temperature programmed reduction (H₂-TPR). The results showed that ZrO₂-TiO₂-CeO₂ exhibited large number of surface strong acid, possessed some oxygen storage capacity, and strong redox property. The three materials were used as supports and the monolith catalysts were prepared with 1% (w) V₂O₅ and 9% (w)WO₃ for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with ammonia in the presence of excessive O₂, and the results of catalytic activity showed that the catalyst used ZrO₂-TiO₂-CeO₂ as support yielded nearly 100% NO conversion at 275 °C at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 10000 h⁻¹, and it had the best catalytic activity and showed great potential for practical application.     

Conversion of NO in NO/N2, NO/O2/N2, NO/C2H4/N2 and NO/C2H4/O2/N2 Systems by Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasmas

An experimental study on the conversion of NO in the NO/N₂, NO/O₂/N₂, NO/C₂H₄/N₂ and NO/C₂H₄/O₂/N₂ systems has been carried out using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasmas at atmospheric pressure. In the NO/N₂ system, NO decomposition to N₂ and O₂ is the dominating reaction; NO conversion to NO₂ is less significant. O₂ produced from NO decomposition was detected by an on-line mass spectrometer. With the increase of NO initial concentration, the concentration of O₂ produced decreases at 298 K, but slightly increases at 523 K. In the NO/O₂/N₂ system, NO is mainly oxidized to NO₂, but NO conversion becomes very low at 523 K and over 1.6% of O₂. In the NO/C₂H₄/N₂ system, NO is reduced to N₂ with about the same NO conversion as that in the NO/N₂ system but without NO₂ formation. In the NO/C₂H₄/O₂/N₂ system, the oxidation of NO to NO₂ is dramatically promoted. At 523 K, with the increase of the energy density, NO conversion increases rapidly first, and then almost stabilizes at 93–91% of NO conversion with 61–55% of NO₂ selectivity in the energy density range of 317–550 J L⁻¹. It finally decreases gradually at high energy density. A negligible amount of N₂O is formed in the above four systems. Of the four systems studied, NO conversion and NO₂ selectivity of the NO/C₂H₄/O₂/N₂ system are the highest, and NO/O₂/C₂H₄/N₂ system has the lowest electrical energy consumption per NO molecule converted.     

Mn-Na2WO4/SiO2催化剂表面活性中心结构的DFT研究

Mn Na2WO4/SiO2 is one of the best catalysts for oxidative coupling of methane.To investigate the nature of active centers and the reaction mechanism,the structure of possible metal sites formed by tungsten and manganese over the silica surface were studied using molecular simulation method and ab initio DFT calculations.Silica support exists in the catalyst as 岐瞔ristobalite and its (111) face exposes preferentially to the surface.The calculated results show that tungsten interacts with the silica surface by three or one bridge oxygen atoms to form tetrahedral [WO4],and manganese interacts with single bridge oxygen to form dispersed [MnO4] or exists as oxide clusters.The nature of the molecular orbitals and the electronic structure suggest that the tetrahedral [WO4] site with single bridge oxygen is the most probable active center responsible for methane activation.
