Trichlorozirconium η~2-Hydrazonides: Synthesis,Characterization and Their Catalytic Behavior toward Ethylene Polymerization

The trichlorozirconium η~2-hydrazonides(R=H, A; R=CH_3, B) were synthesized through the finely controlled stoichiometrical reactions of anhydrous zirconium tetrachloride with the lithium salt of either 1-(furan-2-ylmethylene)-2-phenylhydrazonide or 1-(furan-2-ylethylidene)-2-phenyl hydrazonide in the solvent tetrahydrofuran(THF), respectively. These complexes were highly sensitive to air and moisture due to solely using less bulky ligand of hydrazonides. The molecular structures of the title complexes, determined by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction, were found to be the distorted pentagonal bipyramid geometry around zirconium atom, with three chlorides and the hydrazonato ligand acting as the η~2-coordination mode as well as two incorporated THF molecules.

The reactions of chiral four-coordinated nickel(Ⅱ) complex [Ni(RR-L)](ClO4)2/[Ni(SS- L)](ClO4)2 with β-dl-phenylalanine in acetonitrile/water gave a six-coordinated enantiomer of [Ni(RR-L)(β-d-HPhe)](ClO4)2(1) and [Ni(SS-L)(β-l-HPhe)](ClO4)2(2), respectively(L = 5,5,7, 12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, HPhe = phenylalanine). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that the nickel(Ⅱ) atom displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry by coordinating with four nitrogen atoms of L in a folded configuration, and two carboxylate oxygen atoms of β-d/l-HPhe in cis-position in both complexes. The monomers of [Ni(RR-L)(β-d-HPhe)]2+ and [Ni(SS-L)(β-l-HPhe)]2+ are connected through intermolecular hydrogen bonds to generate one-dimensional zigzag chains, respectively.

The symmetry of the cation is very close to C2v.The complexes were also characterized with variable temperature (4~300K) magnetic susceptibility, and the data were fit for the susceptibility equation derived from spin Hamilton, H= -2JS1.S2-DSx12 by least square strategy. The exchange integral, J, was found to be -22.36 cm-1 (for bpy);-15.45 cm-1 (for phen); -19. 10cm-1(for NO2-phen), indicating that there is a weak antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction between the metal ions.     

OPTICALLY ACTIVE AND FLAME-RETARDANT POLY(AMIDE-IMIDE)S BASED ON PHOSPHINE OXIDE MOIETY AND N,N′-(PYROMELLITOYL)BIS-L-AMINO ACID IN THE MAIN CHAIN:SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION

<正>Six new optically active and flame-retardant poly(amide-imide)s PAIs 5a-5f containing phosphine oxide moiety as a flame-retardant unit in the main chain were synthesized from direct polycondensation reaction of six chiral N,N′-(pyromellitoyl)-bis-L-amino acid 3a-3f with bis(3-aminophenyl)phenyl phosphine oxide 4 in a medium consisting of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone(NMP),triphenyl phosphite(TPP),calcium chloride(CaCl_2) and pyridine.The polymerization reactions produced a series of optically active poly(amide-imide)s with good yield and good inherent viscosity of 0.34-0.70 dLg~(-1).The resulted polymers were fully characterized by means of FTIR and ~1H-NMR spectroscopy,gel permeation chromatography(GPC),elemental analyses,inherent viscosity and solubility tests.Thermal properties and flame-retardant behavior of the PAIs 5a-5f were investigated using thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA and DTG) and limiting oxygen index(LOI).Data obtained by thermal analysis(TGA and DTG) revealed that these polymers showed good thermal stability.Furthermore,high char yield in TGA and good LOI values indicated that the resulting polymers were capable of exhibiting good flame retardant properties.N,N′-(pyromellitoyl)-bis-L-amino acids 3a-3f were prepared in quantitative yields by the condensation reaction of pyromellitic dianhydride(1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylicacid-1,2,4,5-dianhydride) 1 with L-alanine 2a,L-valine 2b,L-leucine 2c,L-isoleucine 2d,L-phenyl alanine 2e and L-2-aminobutyric acid 2f in acetic acid solution.

SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION OF IMIDAZOLATE-BRIDGED HETEROPOLY- NUCLEAR COMPLEXES AND THEIR ACTIVITY IN DISMUTATION OF O~(-)_(2)

A series of imidazolate-bridged heteropolynuclear complexes containing Cu2+ or Zn2+ were synthesized and characterized by reflectance spectroscopy, NMR and X-ray diffraction analysis. The bonding nature and the stability of imidazolate bridges in the complexes were studied by ESR spectroscopy, and the catalytic activity of the complexes in dismutation of O-2 was determined by NBT method. Results obtained indicate that the central Cu with N4 and N2O2 square planar or N4O square pyramidal coordination in which there is a weak bond H2O or ClO-4 on axial position, has a comparatively higher activity, but that with N5 square pyramidal having a strong bond axial ligand has almost no activity. Thus the results imply a possible formation of Cu-O-2 intermediate adduct in the catalytic process by Cu, Zn-SOD.     

Synthesis and characterization of optically active poly(amide-imide)s based on [N,N′-(4,4′-carbonyldiphtaloyl)-bis-lamino diacid]s and 1,5-bis(4-aminophenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one

Six dicarboxylic acids 3a-3f were synthesized by the reaction of 3,3’,4,4’-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride 1 with L-aminoacids 2a-2f in a solution of glacial acetic acid/pyridine(Py) at refluxing temperature.Then six new poly(amide-imide)s PAIs were synthesized from the direct polycondensation reaction of[N,N’-(4,4’- carbonyldiphtaloyl)-bis-L-amino diacid]s with 1,5-bis(4-aminophenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one(APPD).The polymerization reactions produced a series of new optically active PAIs with high yield and good inherent viscosity.Also these PAIs are optically active and soluble in various organic solvents.These resulting new polymers can be used in column chromatography for the separation of enantiomeric mixtures.The resulted polymers were fully characterized by means of FTIR and ~1H-NMR spectroscopy,elemental analyses,inherent viscosity measurements,solubility tests and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA).     

Ethylene polymerization and ethylene/hexene copolymerizaion with vandium catalysts bearing thiophenolphosphine ligands

Vanadium(Ⅲ) complexes bearing thiophenol-phosphine ligands (2a-2b) (2-R-6-PPh2-C6H2S) VCl2(THF)2 (2a: R=H; 2b: R=Me3Si) were prepared from VCl3(THF)3 by treating with 1.0 equiv of the ligand in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of excess triethylamine. The two complexes were characterized by FTIR and mass spectra as well as elemental analyses. On activation with Et2AlCl, these complexes exhibited high catalytic activities (up to 22.1 kg PE/(mmolV·h·bar)) even at high temperature (70℃), and produced high molecular weight polymers with unimodal molecular weight distributions, indicating the polymerization took place in a single-site nature. This result may be attributed to benefits of introduction of second-row donor atoms for adjusting charge density of the vanadium centers. In addition, these complexes also exhibited high catalytic activities for ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization. Catalytic activity, comonomer incorporation and polymer molecular weight can be controlled in a wide range by the variation of catalyst structure and the reaction parameters such as Al/V molar ratio, comonomer feed concentration and polymerization reaction temperature.     

The role of nickel oxide additive in lowering the carbon dioxide sorption temperature of CaO

A new type of calcium-based regenerable carbon dioxide(CO2) sorbent, CaO-NiO, was synthesized via the sol-gel method. The as synthesized CO2 sorbent was in the form of nanoparticles. The CO2 sorption temperature and capacity of the sorbent were examined using thermogravimetric analysis(TGA). The CaO-NiO sorbent is able to capture CO2 at a lower sorption temperature(465C) than pure calcium oxide(CaO)(600C). The role of NiO in the CaO-NiO sorbent in lowering the CO2 sorption temperature was also investigated. The sorbent was characterized by X-ray diffractometer(XRD), N2adsorption-desorption analysis, high resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). CaO and NiO were found to coexist in the sorbent. Neither solid solution nor mixed metal oxide was formed. NiO did not react with CO2 in the sorption process; but it worked like a catalyst to promote the CaO carbonation reaction. It is suggested that this new CaO-NiO sorbent may have a promising application as an effective CO2 sorbent with lower energy consumption.     

CO2 reforming of methane over nickel catalysts supported on nanocrystalline MgAl2O4 with high surface area

In this paper dry reforming of methane (DRM) was carried out over nanocrystalline MgAl2O4-supported Ni catalysts with various Ni loadings. Nanocrystalline MgAl2O4 spinel with high specific surface area was synthesized by a co-precipitation method with the addition of pluronic P123 triblock copolymer as surfactant, and employed as catalyst support. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption, H2 chemisorption, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO), temperature- programmed desorption (TPD) and transmission and scanning electron microscopies (TEM, SEM) techniques. The obtained results showed that the catalyst support has a nanocrystalline structure (crystal size: about 5 nm) with a high specific surface area (175 m2 g-1) and a mesoporous structure. Increasing in nickel content decreased the specific surface area and nickel dispersion. The prepared catalysts showed high catalytic activity and stability during the reaction. SEM analysis revealed that whisker type carbon deposited over the spent catalysts and increasing in nickel loading increased the amount of deposited carbon. The nickel catalyst with 7 wt% of nickel showed the highest catalytic activity.     

非对称N-(亚水杨基)二亚乙基三胺铜(Ⅱ)配合物的合成、结构分析和催化活性评价(英文)

A new copper(Ⅱ) complex of a non‐symmetric Schiff base, [CuII(saldien)(H2O)]+(1), has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and several other spectroscopic methods (Hsaldien = N‐(salicylidene)diethylenetriamine). The crystal structure of 1 has also been determined by X‐ray crystallography. The geometry of the complex cation in 1 was found to be distorted square pyramidal with the mononegative Schiff base coordinating to the copper in a tetradentate mode via the O,N,N’, and N’’‐donor atoms. The remaining coordination site was occupied by the O atom of a H2O molecule in the axial position. The catalytic potential of 1 was tested in the oxidation reactions of cyclooctene and cyclohexene with aqueous 30% H2O2/NaHCO3 in acetonitrile. These reactions proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding epoxides with selectivity levels greater than 99%. This catalytic system also showed high levels of activity and selectivity towards the oxidation of cyclohexane (i.e., cyclohexanol 37% and cyclohexanone 54%) in comparison with most of the other Cu‐based systems reported in the literature.     

A new oxidovanadium(Ⅳ) Schiff base complex containing asymmetric tetradentate ONN0O0Schiff base ligand:Synthesis,characterization,crystal structure determination,thermal study and catalytic activity

After synthesis of an asymmetric tetradentate ONN0O0 Schiff base ligand(H2L) followed by reaction of the synthesized H2 L with an equimolar mixture of methanolic solutions of the VO(acac)2, a new oxidovanadium(IV) Schiff base complex(VOL) was synthesized. The Schiff base ligand and its complex were characterized by FT-IR and UV–vis spectra and C, H, N analysis. The crystal structure of VOL was also determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. The VOL complex crystallizes in monoclinic space group Cc. The Schiff base ligand acts as a tetradentate ligand through its two iminic nitrogens and two phenolic and acetylacetonate oxygens. Thermogravimetric analysis of the VOL showed that it decomposes in two steps and converts to mixed vanadium oxides at 477 8C. In addition, thermal decomposition of the VOL complex in air at 660 8C leads to formation of V2O5 nanoparticles with the average size estimated from XRD 49 nm. The catalytic activity of the VOL complex was investigated in the epoxidation reaction and different reaction parameters were optimized. The results showed that the cyclic alkenes were efficiently converted to the corresponding epoxides, whereas the VOL did not appreciably convert the linear alkenes.     

Synthesis of high molecular weight polyisobutylene via cationic polymerization at elevated temperatures

A novel simple but effective initiating system of H2O/AlCl3 /veratrole (VE) has been developed to synthesize high molecular weight polyisobutylene (PIB) at elevated temperatures via cationic polymerization of isobutylene (IB) in solvent mixture of hexane/methylene dichloride (n-Hex/CH2Cl2 = 2/1, V/V). VE played very important roles in decreasing cationicity of the growing chain ends, suppressing side reactions of chain transfer and termination during polymerization, leading to production of high molecular weight PIBs. PIBs with high yields, having very high weight-average molecular weight (Mw ) of 1117000 and 370000 g/mol could be synthesized with H2O/AlCl3 /VE initiating system at VE concentration of 5.4 mmol/L at 80 and 60℃ respectively. Molecular weight of PIB increased remarkably with increasing VE concentration. The reaction order with respect to VE concentration was determined to be 3.52 via FTIR spectroscopy in combination with a diamond tipped attenuated total reflectance (ATR) immersion probe. The negative reaction order of VE was consistent with its retarding effect on IB polymerization by interacting with the propagating species. Molecular weight of PIB decreased with increasing polymerization temperature. The activation energy for polymerization degree (EDP ) could be determined to be around 23 kJ/mol when VE concentration was 5.4 mmol/L or 6.4 mmol/L.     

四-α-(2，2，4-三甲基-3-戊氧基)酞菁金属配合物(M=Co，Ni，Cu，Zn)的合成与光谱性质(英)

A series of [tetra-α-(2,2,4-tirmethyl-3-pentoxy) phthalocyaninato] metal complexes(M=Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)were prepared by cyclotetramerization of 3-(2,2,4-tirmethyl-3-pentoxy)phthalonitrile with corresponding anhydrous metal salts， using 1.8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) as the catalyst. HPLC analysis shows that one isomer predominates in the product of nickel complex, while at least two main constitutional isomers exist in the product of other metal complexes. The complexes (in the form of mixture of constitutional isomers) were characterized by elemental analyses, MS, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy.     

Ni catalysts supported on nanocrystalline magnesium oxide for syngas production by CO2 reforming of CH4

CO2 reforming of methane (CDRM) was carried out over MgO supported Ni catalysts with various Ni loadings. The preparation of MgO supported Ni catalysts via surfactant-assisted precipitation method led to the formation of a nanocrystalline carrier for nickel catalysts. The synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, H2 chemisorption, TPR, TPO and SEM techniques. It was found that the high catalytic activity and stability of the prepared catalysts could be attributable to high dispersion of reduced Ni species and basicity of support surface. In addition, the effect of feed ratio, nickel loading and GHSV on the catalytic performance of CDRM over the catalysts were investigated.
