钯催化多氟代芳烃与简单芳烃的氧化C-H/C-H偶联反应机理

运用密度泛函方法研究了醋酸钯催化的五氟苯与苯的氧化C-H/C-H偶联反应机理. 主要考察了以下四种不同可能机理路径：A 苯C-H活化发生在五氟苯C-H活化前,B 五氟苯C-H活化发生在苯C-H活化前,C 苯C-H活化后与五氟苯银化合物发生转金属化,D 首先五氟苯银化合物与醋酸钯转金属化,然后发生苯的C-HH活化步骤. 计算结果表明,两个反应底物(五氟苯与苯)的C-H活化顺序在不同反应条件下是不同的,其中银盐的存在与否是决定因素. 在无银盐条件下,反应的优势路径是机理B. 在银盐存在条件下,五氟苯银盐与钯中心的配位非常容易,但是其生成的中间体难以引导后续的苯环C-H活化步骤,使得整个反应能垒较高. 因此,银盐的存在使得机理C的能量相对优势,该机理与机理A相似. 计算结果与氢/氘交换实验及动力学同位素效应的实验结果一致.     

铜催化的乙酰苯胺间位碳氢芳基化反应机理的理论研究

通过系统的理论计算研究了Gaunt报道的一个新颖的间位选择性C-H键芳基化反应的机理. Oxycupration机理含有一个关键的Cu(III)基团和酰胺氧原子对苯环C2=C3键的反式加成步. 但是计算结果表明这个反应路径的活化能太高(>175.56 kJ/mol),所以是动力学禁阻的. 提出了一个含有关键的酰胺导向的Cu(III)-Aryl对底物C2=C3键的顺式加成步的机理,这一步是反应的决速步,也是决定产物区域选择性的一步. 这个机理的活化能与实验条件是符合的,而且这个机理预测的产物区域选择性与实验     

Effect of carbon nanotube addition on the thermite reaction in the Al/CuO energetic nanocomposite

Abstract

In this work, the Al/CNT/CuO nano-thermite samples are prepared by ultrasonic mixing with variable CNT content. The morphology of nano-thermites analysed by electron microscopy revealed that the CNTs are dispersed and there are intimate contacts between fuels (Al and CNT) and oxidiser (CuO) constituents of the nano-thermite. Raman spectroscopy technique is used to analyse the structural integrity of the CNTs in the nano-thermite. The thermite reaction characteristics are evaluated by simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry technique. The exothermic enthalpy of the Al/CNT/CuO nano-thermite samples increased with increasing CNT content. The effect of Al particle size and Al/Cu molar ratio variation on the thermite reaction enthalpy is also analysed. The ignition temperature of the thermite reaction is also lowered by 71 °C than that of Al/CuO nano-thermite. The activation energy for thermite reaction of Al/CNT/CuO nano-thermite is also lowered by 23% to that of pure Al/CuO. The residues of the nano-thermites after the thermite reaction at 1010 °C are collected and analysed by the X-ray diffraction.

重新审视桥式吸附甲酸根在铂电极上电催化氧化甲酸过程中的作用 (cited: 2)

基于以前报道的电化学原位ATR-FTIRS数据(Langmuir 22,10399 (2006)和Angewa. Chem. Int. Ed., 50,1159 (2011)),详细讨论了甲酸在铂电极上电催化氧化机理及动力学过程．提出了直接反应路径的动力学模型,即甲酸吸附(同时C-H键活化)作为此反应的决速步骤,此反应路径贡献甲酸氧化反应的大部分电流．该动力学模型可以很好地拟合在无CO毒化影响和浓度在0.1 mol/L以下的红外光谱结果．这种机理预测了甲酸氧化直接途径可能只需要一个Pt原子作为反应位点,甲酸根阻碍活性位点,并非为反应中间物．另外还详细检验了之前其他小组曾提出的甲酸根途径(一级或二级反应)为甲酸氧化直接途径,并指出了引起分歧的原因．     

Combustion of a rapidly initiated fully dense nanocomposite Al–CuO thermite powder

Very short burn times of nanocomposite, fully dense, stoichiometric 2Al·3CuO thermite particles ignited by electro-static discharge (ESD) observed in earlier experiments are interpreted assuming that the reaction occurs heterogeneously at the Al–CuO interfaces while the initial nanostructure is preserved even after the melting points of various phases present in the particle are exceeded. The heating rate for the ESD-ignited particles is very high, reaching 10⁹?K?s^?1. The reaction model assumes that the rate of reaction is limited by transport of the reacting species across the growing layer of Al₂O₃ separating Al and CuO. The model includes the redox reaction steps considered earlier to describe ignition of 2Al·3CuO nanocomposite thermites and adds steps expected at higher temperatures, when further polymorphic phase changes may occur in Al₂O₃. A realistic distribution of CuO inclusion sizes in the Al matrix is obtained from electron microscopy and used in the model. The model accounts for heat transfer of the nanocomposite particles with surrounding gas and radiative heat losses. It predicts reasonably well the burn times observed for such particles in experiments. It is also found that neglecting polymorphic phase changes in the growing Al₂O₃ layer and treating it as a single phase with the diffusion-limited growth rate similar to that of transition aluminas (activation energy of ca. 210?kJ?mol^?1) still leads to adequately predicted combustion temperatures and times for the nanocomposite particles rapidly heated by ESD. The model highlights the importance of preparing powders with fine CuO inclusion sizes in the nanocomposite particles necessary to complete the redox reaction; it is also found that the particle combustion temperatures may vary widely depending on their dimensions. Higher combustion temperatures generally lead to greater reaction rates and, respectively, to the more complete combustion.     

苯快速反应点火特性的光谱研究

利用由单色谱仪、压力传感器以及示波器组成的测试系统, 测定了高温激波管中苯快速反应的几个重要产物：H,C₂和CH的点火延迟时间和出现的顺序。提出了一种在入射激波条件下确定含能材料冲击点火延迟时间的新方法,并介绍了苯在快速反应中碳生成的微观反应机理。 研究表明: 无论马赫数如何改变,H原子总是最先出现,说明苯在快速反应过程中,首先断裂的C—H键,而不是C—C键。利用较早出现的反应中间产物H原子来测定苯的点火延迟时间更为准确。利用单色谱仪技术能较好地研究苯的快速反应点火特性,新方法与国内外常用的全色光技术相比可明显减少实验量。     

Synthesis and ignition of energetic CuO/Al core/shell nanowires

Energetic thermites (mixtures of Al and metal oxides), due to their high energy densities, have broad applications in propulsion, thermal batteries, waste disposal, and power generation for micro systems. Reducing the sizes of Al and metal oxides down to the nanoscale has been shown to be effective in increasing their reaction rates and reducing their ignition delays. However, it remains a challenge to create mixtures of Al and metal oxides with nanoscale uniformity. Here we report synthesis and ignition studies on thermites with a new nanostructure, i.e., CuO/Al core/shell nanowires (NWs). The CuO NW cores were synthesized by the thermal annealing of copper films and served as templates for the deposition of Al shells by subsequent sputtering. The advantage of such a core/shell NW structure is that CuO and Al are uniformly mixed at the nanoscale. The onset temperatures of the exothermic reaction of the core/shell NWs were similar to those of nanoparticle (NP)-based thermites in terms of magnitude, insensitivity to equivalence ratios and sensitivity to heating rates. Moreover, the core/shell NW thermites, compared to NP-based thermites, exhibit greatly improved mixing uniformity and reduced activation energy for the thermite reaction.     

A study of the radical polymerization of styrene in the presence of ferrocene

Reactions that occurred during the radical polymerization of styrene in the presence of ferrocene were analyzed by the B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) method of density functional theory. The formation of the Fe-C bond between the iron atom of ferrocene and polystyrene radical (R^·) was found to be energetically unfavorable, and the polystyrene chain growth reaction in the coordination sphere of the iron atom by the insertion of the monomer at the Fe-C bond was characterized by a high activation energy. Conversely, the addition of R^· to the ferrocene cyclopentadienyl ring occurred with the release of energy. Indications of termination-free styrene polymerization in the presence of ferrocene experimentally observed earlier were explained in terms of reversible inhibition concepts.

Single-molecule reaction and characterization by vibrational excitation

Controlled chemical reaction of single trans-2-butene molecules on the Pd(110) surface was realized by dosing tunneling electrons from the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope at 4.7 K. The reaction product was identified as a 1,3-butadiene molecule by inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy. Threshold voltage for the reaction is approximately 365 mV, which coincides with the vibrational excitation of the C-H stretching mode. The reaction was ascertained to be caused by C-H bond dissociation by multiple vibrational excitations of the C-H stretching mode via inelastic electron tunneling process.

Effect of the tether length upon Truce‐Smiles rearrangement reactions

This report examines the effect of substrate design upon the Truce‐Smiles rearrangement, an intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction. The length of the molecular spacer that tethers the carbanion nucleophile to the substituted benzene ring was found to have a strong influence on the ability of the substrate to undergo the reaction successfully. Our experimental results show highest yield of desired aryl migration product for substrates designed with a 3‐atom tether, which proceed through a 5‐membered spirocyclic intermediate. The results are interpreted in comparison with a survey of Truce‐Smiles rearrangements described in the literature and found to be consistent. Computational studies support the observed reactivity trend and suggest an explanation of a favorable combination of ring strain and electrostatic repulsion leading to optimal reactivity of the substrate designed with a 3‐atom tether. Comparison of our results with trends for related ring‐closing reactions illustrate the unique electrostatic features of the system studied herein.     

Vibrational spectra and ab initio computations of sarcosinium oxalate monohydrate

Single crystals of sarcosinium oxalate monohydrate (SOM) are grown by the slow-evaporation technique at ambient temperature, and vibrational spectroscopic analysis is carried out using NIR-FT Raman, FT-IR, and SERS spectra. The normal mode frequencies and corresponding vibrational analysis of SOM are examined theoretically using the Gaussian’98 set of quantum chemical codes. The two bands present in the SOM ν C=O region, clearly observed in the Raman spectrum, are assigned to “free” and “bonded” carbonyl groups with the hydrogen atom. Vibrational analysis indicates the presence of C-H—O hydrogen bonding interaction producing a blueshift of the C-H stretching frequency.

Carbon-oxygen bond strength as a control of reaction kinetics: Phenol on Mo(110)

The reaction of phenol on Mo(110) has been studied using temperature programmed reaction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. After desorption of multilayers and a weakly bound molecular species, decomposition produces the only reaction products observed: gaseous dihydrogen, surface carbon and surface oxygen. The O-H bond cleaves first at temperatures below 360 K to form surface phenoxide (C₆H₅O-), followed by C-H bond activation commencing at 370 K. C-O bonds are cleaved in the temperature range of 370 to 450 K. After annealing to 300 K, multiple species are detected on the surface by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The cleavage of C-H bonds in the same temperature regime as C-O bonds is thought to lead to selective decomposition of phenol on Mo(110). The reaction of phenol is contrasted to that of a sulfur-containing analogue, benzenethiol, on the Mo(110) surface. The stability of the phenoxide intermediate with respect to carbon-heteroatom bond cleavage is greater than that of the corresponding phenyl thiolate formed from benzenethiol. Comparison of the reaction of phenol and benzenethiol demonstrates the importance of C-X (X = O,S) bond strength in determining the reactivity and selectivity of these molecules.
