Selective Oxidation of Cyclic Hydrocarbons with H2O2 over Ti- and V-Containing Zeolites and Mesoporous Catalysts

Ti- and V-containing MFI, MEL and MCM-41 catalysts were studied in the oxidation of cyclohexane, cyclohexene, naphthalene, tetralin, decalin and phenol with H₂O₂. Although TS-1 and TS-2 exhibited the highest activity and selectivity in the oxidation of _n -hexane and 1-hexene, cyclohexene could only be oxidized effectively on the MCM-41 silicates. Since the oxidation of condensed aromatic systems over Ti- and V-containing MFI and MEL zeolites runs to difficulties, MCM-41 type catalysts may be offered for these reactions.     

Ni-intAlx催化剂的化学合成及萘选择加氢性能

非（类）金属掺杂金属形成金属间隙或金属间化合物是一种设计高效、高选择性催化剂的重要手段.我们以萘基锂为强还原剂,NiCl₂与AlCl₃为原料,在室温下化学合成了Ni-^intAl_x纳米催化剂,并采用pXRD、N₂物理吸附、XPS、TEM、H₂-TPR、H₂-TPD等手段对催化剂进行表征.以萘选择加氢为探针反应,结果显示Ni-^intAl_x催化剂对萘选择加氢制四氢萘具有高活性及单一选择性.其中Ni-^intAl₁催化剂具有比Ni样品更纯的FCC晶型,比Ni-^intAl_1/3更适宜的铝掺杂量,及比Ni-^intAl₃更适宜的活性组分含量.镍铝之间的电子效应在一定程度上可调变中间产物四氢萘的吸附性能,避免过度加氢,在优化条件下萘转化率和四氢萘选择性分别达97%和98%,铝可用作第二金属掺杂以提高金属位点的活性和对中间产物的选择性.     

Hydrogenation of aromatic ligands during the synthesis of π-arene-π-cyclopentadienyliron mono- and dications. Evidence from 1H and 13C magnetic resonance studies

Anthracene reacts with ferrocene in the presence of AlCl₃/Al to form the same mono- and dications derived from 9,10-dihydroanthracene. Naphthalene yields arene complexes of both naphthalene and tetralin, the product formed being dependent on the reaction temperature.     

Unraveling chemical structure of laminar premixed tetralin flames at low pressure with photoionization mass spectrometry and kinetic modeling

This work reports an investigation on laminar premixed flames of tetralin at 30 Torr and equivalence ratios of 0.7 and 1.7. Measurements of the chemical structure including identification and mole fraction measurements of free radicals, isomers, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were performed using synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry (SVUV‐PIMS). A kinetic model with 296 species and 1 577 reactions was developed and validated against the flame chemical structure data measured in this work. Modeling analysis reveals the key reaction pathways in tetralin decomposition and PAHs formation. The H‐atom abstraction reactions by H, O, and OH are found to control the consumption of tetralin in the lean flame, while those by H play the dominant role in the rich flame. Indene and naphthalene have very high concentration levels in the rich tetralin flame due to the existence of direct formation pathways from the decomposition of tetralin. The two bicyclic PAHs and their radicals play significant roles in the PAHs growth process of tetralin combustion, which results in the high sooting tendency of tetralin compared to those of alkylbenzenes with smaller or same carbon atom numbers.     

MCM-41负载钴催化H_2O_2氧化四氢萘合成α-四氢萘酮

比较了醋酸溶液中过渡金属(Fe、Co、Ni、Ce、Cu、La、Zr或Cr)掺杂MCM-41催化过氧化氢氧化四氢萘合成α-四氢萘酮的转化率和选择性,发现其中Co/MCM-41的催化活性最好。探讨了Co/MCM-41作催化剂时反应温度、反应时间、催化剂用量等对四氢萘氧化的转化率和形成四氢萘酮选择性的影响,确定了较优的反应条件:m(四氢萘)∶m(催化剂)=12.5∶1;反应温度T=383 K,反应时间8 h。四氢萘的转化率达94.7%,α-四氢萘酮的选择性达到70.3%。在反应体系中,Co/MCM-41是一种固体非均相催化剂。催化剂Co/MCM-41可回收重复使用3次,催化活性基本不变。     

Electrosynthesis of highly conducting poly(1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene) in BF3·Et2O

Direct anodic oxidation of 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN), an important derivative of naphthalene, led to the formation of high-quality semiconducting poly(1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene) (PDHN) on stainless steel sheets in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE). The onset oxidation potential of DHN in this medium was measured to be only 0.78 V vs. SCE, which was lower than that determined in traditional acetonitrile containing 0.1 mol/L tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (0.98 V vs. SCE). As-formed PDHN films showed good redox activity and stability, together with interesting electrochromic property from brown (doped) to yellow-green (dedoped). Structural characterization, including FTIR, ¹H NMR, and quantum chemistry calculations, indicated that the polymerization of DHN probably occurred at C₄ and C₈ positions. Moreover, thermal analysis revealed that PDHN displayed better thermal stability than that synthesized by chemical method. The fluorescence spectral studies, together with the electrical tests, showed that PDHN was a good blue light-emitter (fluorescence quantum yield higher than 0.1) with an electrical conductivity of as high as 0.46 S/cm.     

PHOTOLYSIS OF SUBSTITUTED NAPHTHALENES ON SiO2 AND Al2O3

Abstract— Photolysis of naphthalene on the surface of SiO₂ under an atmosphere of air produces phthalic acid as the only major photoproduct, accounting for 49%o of the consumed naphthalene. Photolysis on Al₂O₃ also produces phthalic acid, in 31% yield. Photolysis of 1 -methylnaphthalene on SiO₂ proceeds under similar conditions to produce 2-acetylbenzoic acid (35%) as the major photoproduct with the production of a small amount of I-naphthaldchyde (6%). 1-Cyanonaphthalene does not photooxidize under similar conditions. The presence of oxygen is necessary for the photodecomposition of naphthalene and 1-methylnaphthalene to proceed. Superoxide formed from the photolysis of naphthalene at the SiO₂/air interface is readily observed by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. In the absence of naphthalene no superoxide is observed. A mechanism involving electron transfer from the S₁ state of the naphthalene to O₂ is proposed on the basis of these observations and related literature precedent.     

Mechanism of inhibitory action of metal dithiocarbamates. II. Autooxidation of tetralin and cumene and decomposition of tetralin hydroperoxide in the presence of zinc bisisobutyldithiocarbamate

In the initial moment of the tetralin oxidation in the presence of tetralin and cumene hydroperoxides (THP, CHP) as well as of zinc diisobutyldithiocarbamate (ZDTC) an intensive absorption of oxygen-prooxidation effect was observed. A pulsation absorption of oxygen during the oxidation of tetralin with ZDTC and AIBN was established. It has been proved that the stoichiometric coefficient of inhibition (f) is a function of the ZDTC concentration. A probable scheme of the decomposition of the THP with ZDTC which includes the formation of SO₂ as possible decomposition agent of ROOH according to the ionic mechanism was suggested.     

Alkane oxidation by the H2O2-NaVO3-H2SO4 system in acetonitrile and water

A simple system is described, which oxidizes saturated hydrocarbons either in acetonitrile or (less efficiently) in water. The system consists of 50% aqueous hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant, sodium metavanadate, NaVO₃, as a catalyst and sulfuric (or oxalic) acid as a co-catalyst. The reactions were carried out at 20-50 °C. In the oxidation of cyclohexane in acetonitrile, the highest yield (37% based on cyclohexane) and turnover number (TON=1700) were attained after 3 h at 50 °C. The corresponding parameters were 16% and 1090 for n-heptane oxidation under the same conditions. The oxidation of higher alkanes, RH, in acetonitrile gives almost exclusively the corresponding alkyl hydroperoxides, ROOH. Light alkanes (n-butane, propane, ethane, and methane) have been also oxygenated by the system under consideration. The highest TON (200) was attained for ethane and the highest yield (19%) was obtained in the case of n-butane. The selectivity parameters measured for the oxidation of linear and branched alkanes are low, the reaction with cis- and trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexanes is not stereoselective. These facts lead us to conclude that the oxidation occurs with the formation of hydroxyl radicals in the crucial step.     

Bi2Sr2CuO6的电子结构和铜氧对间电荷涨落

自发现含铋铜氧化物的高温超导性以来,采用各种复杂程度方法对电子结构的计算已经在文献中报道.它们集中讨论了能带结构,态密度和Fermi面的性质,但很少报道铜氧对间的电荷涨落。而价态变动对超导电性起着至关重要的作用,因此本文对Bi_2Sr_2CuO_6进行了紧束缚带计算,探讨了电子缺陷和氧呼吸式振动对铜和氧电荷分布的影响。     

Anaerobic oxidation of isobutane: Catalytic properties of MgV2O6 and Mg2V2O7 prepared by the molten method

The catalytic activity of MV₂O₆ and M₂V₂O₇ type oxides prepared by the molten method (MM) for anaerobic oxidation of isobutane was studied in order to construct a system for the selective oxidation of isobutene using a thin layer reactor. Isobutene, CO and CO₂ were formed by every catalyst tested. The activities for isobutene formation were CuV₂O₆ > ZnV₂O₆, NiV₂O₆, CoV₂O₆ > MgV₂O₆ > MnV₂O₆  CaV₂O₆. Isobutene was a major product over M₂V₂O₇ (MM). Co₂V₂O₇ showed the highest activity and high isobutene selectivity exceeded 90%, demonstrating that Co₂V₂O₇ is a suitable oxide for a thin layer reactor for anaerobic oxidation of isobutane. Partial substitution of Mg by Cu in Mg₂V₂O₇ (MM) improved the activity. It is shown by the oxidation at low O₂ concentration as 2–3% that two types of oxidations occurred simultaneously: isobutene formation by the lattice oxygen ions diffused from the bulk, and CO and CO₂ formation by the oxygen species derived from molecular oxygen in the gas phase.     

丙烯氧化反应的Redox机理

以流动床微分反应器研究了Bi_2MO_3O_(12)-Bi_2O_3催化剂上的丙烯氧化动力学。丙烯和氧的分压范围分别为0.05—0.95atm和0.07—0.80atm。当氧和丙烯分压低于0.30atm时, 丙烯醛的生成速度对丙烯为一级对氧为0.5级。表观活化能为30.1 kcal mol~(-1)。当丙烯和氧分压高于0.30atm时, 丙烯醛生成反应的动力学不能用幂速度方程描述。丙烯醛的生成速度对丙烯和氧分压存在着极大值。热脱附实验表明, 在低于150 ℃时, 分子态丙烯可以吸附于氧化态催化剂。但当温度高于300 ℃时, 丙烯则不以分子态吸附, 且脱附物为丙烯醛、一氧化碳和二氧化碳。在广阔的温度区(25—500 ℃)氧皆不以分子态处于催化剂上。因此, 建议了以表面双位反应为速控步骤的氧化还原机理。     

Thermal fragmentation and rearrangement of N-arylbenzamidoxime and O-phenylsulfonyloxime derivatives

Thermal fragmentation of N-arylbenzamide oximes I, II (Ar = Ph, p-tolyl) under nitrogen gives rise to benzanilide and 2-phenylbenzoxazole as the major products, in addition to benzonitrile, arylamines, phenols, benzoic acid, o- and p-aminophenols and benzimidazole derivatives. In the presence of naphthalene as radical scavenger, I gave - and β-naphthols beside the previous products. Also, heating N-arylbenzamide O-phenylsulfonyloximes III under reflux in boiling tetralin lead to the formation of benzonitrile, arylamines, diphenylamine, benzenesulfonic acid, diphenyl sulfone, 1-hydroxytetralin, -tetralone, and 1,1′-bitetralyl as the major products. Analogous results are obtained on heating III in the presence of isoquinoline as a radical trap which formed 1-phenylisoquinoline. The isolated products have been interpreted in terms of a free radical mechanism involving the homolysis of NO and/or CN bonds.     

Approach to the synthesis of 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-2-azaphenalene derivatives

By the Hartree-Fock method in the basis 6–31G(d) with complete geometry optimization the charge value on the carbon atom of carbenium ion was shown to be decisive in Ritter reaction with nitriles. It was established that the attack on the peri-position of the naphthalene system to form 1H-2-azaphenalene derivatives was possible only for tetralin derivatives. From the naphthalene only benzo[f]isoquinoline derivatives were formed.     

Matrix effect on the linewidth of the 3B2u+ - 3B1g− absorption spectrum of naphthalene

The shape and linewidth of the triplet-triplet absorption of naphthalene in durene and in perdeuterated naphthalene, as well as of naphthalene X-traps, have been analyzed. It is found that the observed lines are lifetime broadened and that relaxation of the superexcited triplet state is intra- and intermolecular.     

La2O3助剂对Au/TiO2催化氧化CO性能的影响

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了TiO2以及La2O3-TiO2载体, 再用沉积沉淀法制备Au/TiO2和Au/La2O3-TiO2催化剂, 并对催化剂的CO氧化反应活性进行测试. 结果表明, La2O3助剂可以显著提高催化剂催化氧化CO的活性. X射线衍射(XRD)、程序升温脱附(TPD)、N2吸附-脱附(BET)表征结果表明, La2O3助剂不仅提高了催化剂比表面积, 抑制了TiO2晶粒尺寸的长大, 并且增强了TiO2的晶格应变, 在O2气氛吸附过程中主要在TiO2表面形成O-物种. 原位傅立叶变换红外(FT-IR)结果进一步表明, La的掺杂不仅提高了吸附在Au活性位CO的氧化速率, 还使TiO2表面形成第二种活性位, 从而显著提高了催化活性.     

Dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with CO2 over Cr-MCM-41 catalyst

M-MCM-41 catalysts (M: V, Cr, Fe, and Ga) prepared by direct hydrothermal synthesis (DHT) have been tested for dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with CO₂. The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N₂ adsorption (77 K), and diffuse reflectance UV–vis spectroscopic measurements. Cr-MCM-41 showed the highest activity among M-MCM-41 catalysts tested, resulting in the production of styrene with the conversion of 65% and the selectivity above 90%. The rate of styrene formation increased with increasing Cr loading up to 1.7 wt.%. It is suggested that Cr(VI)O₄ in tetrahedral coordination is formed as an active monochromate species and reduced to Cr(III)O₆ in octahedral coordination as a less active polychromate species during the reaction. Deactivated catalyst was regenerated by a treatment with gaseous oxygen or CO₂, during which redistribution as well as reoxidation of polymeric Cr(III)O₆ octahedra to monomeric Cr(VI)O₄ tetrahedra was observed. The rate of CO formation increased together with that of styrene formation, while the rate of H₂ formation decreased, with increasing partial pressure of CO₂. It was confirmed that reverse water-gas shift reaction took place over Cr-MCM-41 by a separate experiment. The rate of CO formation during the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with CO₂ over Cr-MCM-41 was well accounted for by assuming parallel occurrence of two reactions, i.e., direct oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with CO₂ and simple dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene thermodynamically assisted by reverse water-gas shift reaction.     

O2对燃煤烟气中As2 O3均相反应生成途径影响研究

应用量子化学密度泛函理论研究了燃煤烟气中As和AsO与O_2均相生成As_2O_3的反应机理。首先计算确定了各反应物、中间体、过渡态和产物的结构和能量,然后运用热力学和动力学方法对As_2O_3均相生成过程进行分析。结果表明,由As和AsO与O_2均相生成As_2O_3的最大反应能垒分别为32.9和157.2kJ/mol,在烟气中由As转化为As_2O_3更为容易进行。在500-1900 K下,各反应的正逆反应速率常数均随温度的提高而增大,但不同反应过程受温度影响的程度不同。As与O_2反应生成AsO和AsO_2的两个反应过程的平衡常数在所研究的温度范围内均大于10~5,能完全反应,可以认为是单向反应。AsO与O_2反应生成AsO_2的过程平衡常数在所研究的温度范围内小于10~5,反应不完全,转化率低。AsO与AsO_2生成As_2O_3(D3H)构型的平衡常数极低,反应难以进行,而生成As_2O_3(GAUCHE)构型反应能垒低,可自发进行。

Ni/γ-Al2O3催化剂上萘加氢生成十氢萘的催化反应研究

采用Ni/Al₂O₃催化剂,在高压固定床反应器中考察了反应温度、压力、空速和氢油体积比比等因素对萘饱和加氢反应行为的影响,尤其是反应条件对反式十氢萘和顺式十氢萘选择性的影响。研究表明,反式十氢萘和顺式十氢萘的选择性与反应操作条件密切相关;反式十氢萘与顺式十氢萘的比例随着氢油比和温度的升高而增加,而随着压力和空速的增加而减小。在反应温度260-290℃、反应压力为5-7 MPa、空速为1-1.5 h^-1及氢油体积比大于250时,十氢萘的选择性最高可达99%以上,萘的转化率接近100%,产物中反式和顺式十氢萘的比例最高,可达4.0左右。对Ni/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂稳定性进行了考察,初步发现催化活性组分的烧结或流失是催化剂失活和影响产物中反式十氢萘和顺式十氢萘比例的主要原因。
