Hydrogen release from Mg(NH2)2-MgH2 through mechanochemical reaction

A total of 7.4 wt % of hydrogen was released from the mixture of magnesium amide and magnesium hydride at a molar ratio of 1:2 by mechanical ball milling. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) characterizations along with the amount of hydrogen released at different stages of ball milling reveal that magnesium imide was first formed in the reaction. The imide then reacted continuously with magnesium hydride and was converted to magnesium nitride and hydrogen. Thermodynamic calculation shows that the hydrogen desorption is a mild endothermic reaction with the standard enthalpy change of about 3.5 kJ/mol of H2.     

Domino synthetic strategy for tetrahydrothiophene derivatives from 2-acetylfuran/2-acetylthiophene,benzaldehydes, and sulfur powder

A domino reaction from 2-acetylfuran/2-acetylthiophene, benzaldehydes and sulfur powder has been developed to synthesize a series of tetrahydrothiophene derivatives. The reaction proceeds well to construct five new bonds and a tetrahydrothiophene ring by one-pot. A possible mechanism was proposed, involving a stepwise of Aldol/double Michael addition/internal S_N2 cascaded reaction with sulfur powder acts as a source of sulfur. This method is characterized by mild reaction conditions, commercially available starting materials and transition-metal-free.     

由钛酸盐纳米带水热制备锐钛矿型TiO2纳米带

研究了水热处理具有层状结构的钛酸钠纳米带或钛酸纳米带转化为锐钛矿型TiO₂的制备过程、难易程度和相转化机理. 实验结果表明, 当水热反应温度和时间分别在160 ℃ 和24 h以内, 钛酸钠纳米带很难完全转化为锐钛矿型TiO₂, 若升高反应温度并延长反应时间, 则可制得纯的锐钛矿型TiO₂, 但纳米带形貌被严重破坏; 当水热反应温度和时间分别为160 ℃ 和16 h时, 1次酸洗的钛酸纳米带能够完全转化为锐钛矿型TiO₂, 若钛酸纳米带经过3次强酸浸泡, 则在160 ℃下相转化时间就会缩短到12 h, 所有钛酸纳米带在转化为TiO₂后的形貌仍为纳米带, 但经3次酸浸后生成的TiO₂纳米带表面更光滑. 讨论了钛酸钠纳米带或钛酸纳米带转化为锐钛矿型TiO₂的相转化机理.     

Adaptation of Cu/ZnO/Al_2O_3 to Temperature Change in Methanol Synthesis from CO_2 Hydrogenation

The induction behavior in CO2 hydrogenation was studied by varying the reaction temperature to investigate the adaptation of the Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst to the temperature change. The results indicated that a used catalyst had a tendency to keep the last running state in new reaction conditions for MeOH formation, and that this tendency was related to the difference in Cu/Cun+ ratio caused by CO2 and CO produced at different reaction temperatures. However, the reverse water-gas shift reaction (RWGS) induced at four temperatures was completely different from that of methanol synthesis. It implied that the two so-called competitive reactions in CO2+H2, RWGS and methanol synthesis, have different active centers.     

Direct formation of Ge-C bonds from GeO(2)

Germanium dioxide in the presence of 5% KOH reacted with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) at 250 degrees C to give (MeO)(4)Ge. The reaction of GeO(2) and DMC is similar to that reported for SiO(2); however, the rate of reaction for germanium is much higher than that of the corresponding silicon reaction. In a side-by-side experiment using SiO(2) and GeO(2) where the surface area of the silicon dioxide was 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of the GeO(2), the base-catalyzed reaction with DMC was about an order of magnitude higher for the germanium dioxide. When GeO(2) and 5% KOH were reacted with DMC at 350 degrees C, two products formed: (MeO)(4)Ge (70%) and MeGe(OMe)(3) (30%). Confirmation of the identity of MeGe(OMe)(3) was by GCMS, (1)H and (13)C NMR, and comparison to an authentic sample made by reaction of MeGeCl(3) with NaOMe. Experiments to determine the mechanism of the direct formation of Ge-C from GeO(2) ruled out participation from CO, H(2), or carbon. The KOH-catalyzed reaction of other metal oxides was explored including B(2)O(3), Ga(2)O(3), TiO(2), Sb(2)O(3), SnO(2), and SnO. Boron reacted to give unknown volatile products. Antimony reacted to give a solid which analyzed as Sb(OMe)(3). SnO reacted with DMC to give a mixture that included (MeO)(4)Sn and possibly Me(3)Sn(OMe).

Selective synthesis of cyclic peroxides from triketones and H2O2

A method for the assembly of tricyclic structures containing the peroxide, monoperoxyacetal, and acetal moieties was developed based on the acid-catalyzed reaction of β,δ-triketones with H(2)O(2). Tricyclic compounds are formed selectively in yields from 39% to 90% by the reactions with the use of large amounts of strong acids, such as H(2)SO(4), HClO(4), or HBF(4), which act both as the catalyst and as the co-solvent. The reaction is unusual in that, despite the diversity of possible peroxidation pathways giving cyclic compounds and oligomers, the reaction proceeds with high selectivity and produces tricyclic peroxides via the monoperoxidation of the carbonyl groups in the β-positions and the transformation of the δ-carbonyl group into the acetal one. The syntheses are scaled up to tens of grams, and the resulting peroxides can be easily isolated from the reaction mixture.

[Structure: see text] A novel Pd-catalyzed reaction to prepare conjugated vinylallenes from 2-bromo-1,3,5-triene and a soft nucleophile via a formal SN2" pathway was developed. The reaction proceeds via alkylidene-pi-allylpalladium and allenyl-pi-allylpalladium intermediates, and a dynamic process involving the two palladium intermediates played important roles in determining the selectivity of the Pd-catalyzed reaction. The reaction was extended to an asymmetric counterpart, and an axially chiral vinylallene was obtained with up to 81% ee.

The reactions of 2-chloromethylthiophene (an analog of a benzyl halide) with lithium trialkylalkynylborates gave, after protonation, E-alkenes with a (2-thenyl) substituent in good yields, and the reaction stereo-selectivity was different from that of the reaction of benzyl bromide with an alkynylborate.     

Ammonia leaching mechanism and kinetics of LiCoO2 material from spent lithium-ion batteries

In this paper, the ammonia leaching process and high-energy ball milling method were adapted to recover spent LiCoO₂ material. The ammonia reduction leaching mechanism of LiCoO₂ material in the ammonia-sodium sulfite-ammonium chloride system was elucidated. Compared with untreated LiCoO₂ material, the leaching equilibrium time of LiCoO₂ after ball-milled for 5 h was reduced from 48 h to 4 h, and the leaching efficiency of lithium and cobalt was improved from 69.86% and 70.80% to 89.86% and 98.22%, respectively. Importantly, the apparent activation energy and leaching kinetic equation of the reaction was calculated by the shrinking core reaction model, indicating that the reaction was controlled by the chemical reaction.

A method for the synthesis of 2-henzimidazolone ( 1 ) has been devised which does not depend on 1,2-diaminobenzene ( 2 ) as a starting material. This method produces 1 in good yield by the reaction of hypohalite with 2′-carbamoylphthalanilic acid ( 7 ), a compound readily prepared by the reaction of 2-aminobenzamide ( 3 ) and phthalic anhydride. Contrary to prior indications 1 can be hydrolyzed in the presence of acid at temperatures greater than 200 giving excellent yields of 2.

Novel route to WOx nanorods and WS2 nanotubes from WS2 inorganic fullerenes

WO(x) (2 < x < 3) and WS(2) nanostructures have been widely praised due to applications as catalysts, solid lubricants, field emitters, and optical components. Many methods have been developed to fabricate these nanomaterials; however, most attention was focused on the same dimensional transformation from WO(x) nanoparticles or nanorods to WS(2) nanoparticles or nanotubes. In a solid-vapor reaction, by simply controlling the quantity of water vapor and reaction temperature, we have realized the transformation from quasi-zero-dimensional WS(2) nanoparticles to one-dimensional W(18)O(49) nanorods, and subsequent sulfuration reactions have further converted these W(18)O(49) nanorods into WS(2) nanotubes. The reaction temperature, quantity of water vapor, and pretreatment of the WS(2) nanoparticle precursors are important process parameters for long, thin, and homogeneous W(18)O(49) nanorods growth. The morphologies, crystal structures, and circling transformation mechanisms of sulfide-oxide-sulfide are discussed, and the photoluminescence properties of the resulting nanorods are investigated using a Xe lamp under an excitation of 270 nm.
