Contributions to the Chemistry of the Binary Compounds of the Transition Elements

Phase and structural relationships of the sulfur, selenium, and tellurium compounds of the 4d and 5d transition elements of groups IV to VII of the periodic system are discussed. Homologous elements behave very similarly with respect to the chalcogens, and this is particularly the case for niobium and tantalum, and for molybdenum and tungsten. However, zirconium, niobium, and molybdenum have a greater tendency towards formation of chalcogen-poor phases than their homologues hafnium, tantalum, and tungsten. Subchalcogenides are known only for zirconium and niobium. The number of phases and the tendency towards formation of solid solutions are considerably smaller among the tellurides than among the sulfides and selenides. The crystal structures of the telluride phases also differ from those of the sulfide and selenide phases of analogous composition. In addition, a review of the phase and structural relationships of the arsenic and antimony compounds of the 4d and 5d transition elements of groups V to VII is given.

纳米材料由于其独特的光、电、磁、力学等性质,成为了构建功能材料与器件的理想基元。实现纳米粒子的精确组装,是探究粒子之间的耦合聚集性质和制备宏观功能器件的基础。但是由于纳米粒子的小尺寸以及在溶液中运动的随机性与复杂性,精准控制纳米粒子组装体的形貌以及在空间中的相对位置仍存在巨大挑战。为了将纳米粒子组装成理想的有序结构,许多控制粒子组装的策略与方法得到发展。本文首先概述了纳米粒子自组装的控制方法与典型形貌,着重分析了影响粒子精准排布的因素与控制方法,并对纳米粒子及其组装体的光学性质与器件应用的最新研究进展进行了讨论,最后对目前纳米粒子精准组装所面临的挑战以及未来发展的方向进行了展望。     

电流变液中悬浮颗粒的体积与形状的变化

基于偶极近似,运用电极化方法,定量研究了电流变液中悬浮颗粒在外电场作用下其体积和形状的变化,并计算了其体积和形状的相对变化率.研究结果表明:悬浮颗粒的体积和形状的相对变化率均与电场强度的平方成正比,并与ER本身的性质有关.一般情况下,颗粒的体积和形状的相对变化率分别为8.4%和12.5%,对总体积变化率的贡献为1.68%.这种变化对于ER系统的电涨和电热都作出了贡献,仅当将颗粒当作刚性球时,其自由能才与电场强度的平方成正比.     

Spectrophotometric determination of the dissociation constants of crown ethers with grafted acridone unit in methanol based on Benesi-Hildebrand evaluation

As potential chromo- and fluorophores for optical sensors a number of acridone grafted crown ethers containing NO2 group(s) and/or Br or Cl atom(s) in the aromatic rings (compounds) were studied by spectrophotometric method. In the first step of this work the acid-base and complexing properties of these compounds as well as those of the acridone, thioacridone and 4,5-dinitroacridone were investigated. Compounds proved to be very week acids and therefore the conventional spectrophotometric method based on the measurement of the ratio of the protonated/deprotonated forms of the compounds was not applicable for the determination of the dissociation constants (pKa values). Thus, a new spectrophotometric approach was elaborated for the pKa determination of these compounds, which is based on spectrophotometric titration in methanol with strong base and the titration results were evaluated by the Benesi-Hildebrand method. (In the studies with TEAOH, TMAOH and LiOMe, the complex formation between the ionophores and the cations of the bases could be excluded.) As it was expected, the experimentally determined pKa values depended on the nature of the substituents of the acridone moiety and pKa values ranged between 12.6 and 14.9. The lower pKa value of thioacridone compared to the acridone can be explained by the larger size of the sulfur atom. The outstandingly larger pKa value for 4,5-dinitroacridone can be attributed to the formation of intramolecular hydrogen-bonds between the ortho-position nitro group and the NH proton. As a trend, the strong electron withdrawing nitro substituents decreased considerably the pKa values of compounds and compared to that of the halogen (Cl and Br) atoms (for example compounds and) of weaker withdrawing effect.     

3,7-二硝基亚氨基-2,4-二氮杂双环[3,3,0]辛烷的放热分解反应动力学

The kinetic parameters of the exothermic decomposition reaction of the title compound in a temperature-programmed mode have been studied by means of DSC. The DSC data obtained are fitted to the integral, differential and exothermic rate equations by linear least-squares, iterative, combined dichotomous and least-squares methods, respectively. After establishing the most probable general expression of differential and integral mechanism functions by the logical choice method, the corresponding values of the apparent activation energy (Ea), pre-exponential factor (A) and reaction order (n) will be obtained by the exothermic rate equation. The results show that the empirical kinetic model function in differential form and the values of Ea and A of this reaction are (1-α)0.44, 230.4 kJ/mol and 1018.16 s-1, respectively. With the help of the heating rate and obtained kinelic parameters, the kinetic equation of the exothermic decomposition reaction process of the title compound is proposed. The critical temperature of thermal explosion of the compound is 302.6℃. The above-mentioned kinetic parameters are quite useful for analyzing and evaluating the stability and thermal change rule of the title compound.     

PROPERTIES AND MORPHOLOGY OF UNSATURATED POLYESTER/ACRYLATE-TERMINATED POLYURETHANE/ORGANOMONTMORILLONITE NANOCOMPOSITES

Unsaturated polyester resin （UPR）/acrylate-terminated polyurethane （ATPU）/organo-modified montmorillonite （OMMT） nanocomposites were prepared by the in situ intercalative polymerization method. Samples were prepared by the sequential mixing, i.e. mixture of the ATPU and styrene （S） and OMMT were prepared in the first step; UPR was then added to the pre-intercalates of ATPU/S/OMMT. Results indicate that the mechanical properties and thermal properties of UPR/ATPU/OMMT nanocomposites greatly depend on the amount of ATPU and OMMT. Results show that the addition of ATPU could increase the impact strength of UPR/ATPU composites, but the tensile strength, flexural strength and heat resistance of the materials are obviously decreased. When the weight ratio between UPR, ATPU and OMMT were 82：15：3, the impact strength and heat distortion-temperature of nanocomposite were greatly improved, meanwhile there was little change for other properties of the nanocomposites. The synergistic enhancement effects of ATPU and OMMT on the composites were observed. The structures and morphology of the composites were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.     

Statistical Theory of Stable and Meta-stable Transition for Crystallization and Fusion of Homopolymers Ⅵ. Statistical Dynamics of Polymeric Crystallization by Molecular Segregation-Dependence of Crystal Growth Rate on the Grown Mechanism and Concentratio

First a short review on the dependence of crystal growth rate on the growth mechanism and concentration is present. Based on the structural model of micronucleus and crystal constituent chains, and the feature of statistical dynamics for polymeric crystallization by molecular segregation, a general method for characterizing number the growth rate and micro crystal constituent chains and the size growth rate for crystals was proposed. According to this method, a set of quantitative expressions for correlating the growth rate in number and size with the four types of growth (folding, extending and combination of folding and extending), the crystalline temperature and the crystalline concentration was derived. Then combined the concentration index is combined with the fraction of conformation for segments, a new correlation of the concentration index to the temperature of crystallization and the flexibility of polymeric chain is theoretically obtained. The dependences of the index on the different types of growth are also studied. Finally the relationships between the growth rate for crystals and the concentration of solution were verified by the experimental validating the predictions made by the theory.     

Phenolic potential of Tannat, Cabernet-Sauvignon and Merlot grapes and their correspondence with wine composition

The phenolic potential of Tannat, Cabernet-Sauvignon and Merlot grapes was evaluated in 2001 and 2002 and its correspondence with the colour and composition of the respective wines was established. Three vineyards of each variety, situated in the south of Uruguay were considered. Two samples of each vineyard were taken at the moment of the harvest. Phenolic richness, extractable anthocyanins contents and total potential in anthocyanins of the grapes were estimated. Two fermentations on skins were carried out for each vineyard using 50 kg of grape in each one. The anthocyanic and total polyphenols contents of the musts were analysed every 24 h, and skins extractions were carried out in parallel in the laboratory. The duration of the maceration for each variety was decided in function of the analytical results in the grapes, musts and skins extractions. Wines were analysed 2 months after the alcoholic fermentation, determining its phenolic composition and colour. Tannat grapes presented anthocyanic and total polyphenols contents significantly higher in both years. Therefore, wines from this variety presented colour intensity and phenolic contents statistically higher than Cabernet-Sauvignon and Merlot. The correlations between the phenolic contents of the grapes, skins, musts and wines were very significant. Colour intensity and phenolic contents of the wines were highly correlated with the total polyphenols of the grapes and with anthocyanins of the grapes, skins, musts and wines. The estimate of the phenolic potential of the grapes and the extractability of the pigments allows to manage more adequately the fermentation on skins and is an interesting tool to predict the colour and the composition of the wines.

Solubilty and dissolution studies of antifungal drug:hydroxybutenyl-β-cyclodextrin complexes

The solubilities of voriconazole, ketoconazole, and clotrimazole with and without hydroxybutenyl-β-cyclodextrin (HBenBCD) in aqueous media were examined. The solubility of these antifungal drugs was significantly improved by complexation with HBenBCD. Both the pH and the type of buffer used to adjust the medium pH had a very significant effect on drug solubilities and the apparent binding constants of the drug:cyclodextrin complexes. Additionally, the stereochemistry of tartrate buffers was found to influence both the electrostatic interaction between drug and tartrate as well as complexation of the drug-tartrate aggregate by HBenBCD. We also compared the solubilization of these antifungal drugs by HBenBCD to other cyclodextrin derivatives with different substituents under identical experimental conditions and found that the amount of drug solubilized was in some cases influenced strongly by the nature of the cyclodextrin. Solid antifungal drug:HBenBCD complexes were prepared and their dissolution profiles were obtained which showed that HBenBCD improved both the rate of dissolution and the amount of drug dissolved.     

Thermal Conversion of Heavy Oil Systems and Analysis of Structural Changes of their High Components with PMR Method

Heavy oil systems are thermolyzed with different ratios of amount of resins and asphaltenes: 3.4, 3.8, 5.3, and 12.4. The change in yield and composition of gaseous, liquid and solid products of thermolysis is shown depending on the ratio of the resin: asphaltenes. In the liquid products of thermolysis, resins content decreases and s the amount of asphaltenes and oils increases. According to PMR spectroscopy, the distribution of protons is compared in the secondary resin and asphaltene molecules of the initial samples and the thermolysis products. It is shown that the relative content of hydrogen aromatic rings in the molecules of asphaltenes is higher, and for β- and γ- positions relative to the aromatic rings and heterofunction, it is lower than in the resin molecules.

MISCIBILITY AND MORPHOLOGY OF THIN FILMS OF BLENDS OF POLYSTYRENE WITH BROMINATED POLYSTYRENES： EFFECTS OF VARYING THE MOLECULAR WEIGHT, BROMINATION DEGREE AND ANNEALING

Thin films of incompatible polymer blends can form a variety of structures during preparation and subsequent annealing process. For the polymer blend system consisting of polystyrene and poIy(styrene-co-p-bromo-styrene), i.e., PS/PBrxS, its compatibility could be adjusted by varying the degree of bromination and the molecular weight of both components comprised, in this paper, surface chemical compositions of the cast and the annealing films were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle measurement; meanwhile, surface topographical changes are followed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). In addition, substantial attention was paid to the effect of annealing on the morphologic variations induced by phase separation and/or dewetting of the thin film. Moreover, the influences of the molecular weight, Aw, as well as the brominated degree, x%, on the sample surface are explored systematically, and the corresponding observations are explained in virtue of the Flory-Huggins theory, along with the dewetting of the polymer thin film.

对一种澳大利亚低阶煤中,钠、硅和硫在热解过程中的相互作用进行了研究,以便深入了解钠的固硫作用和硫对流化床燃烧和气化中颗粒团聚的影响。制备了水洗、酸洗煤样和酸洗、乙酸钠离子交换煤样,样品在马弗炉中以17．7℃／min升至1000℃进行程序升温热解。对700℃-100℃热解半焦样品的依次水洗、酸洗、SEM—EDX和X射线元素扫描分析表明,部分有机结合的钠形成水溶性Na2O和NaOH化合物,水溶性的硅酸钠,以及与半焦中的硫形成酸不溶组分。最后一点解释了为何以往研究中发现,热解过程中有机结合的钠具有固硫作用,以及固硫历程中为何未发现Na2S的生成。在硅酸钠区域边缘存在的高硫区域,在流化床燃烧和气化过程中将形成含硫黏性相,导致床料的黏结。当用于酸洗、钠离子交换煤样的乙酸钠从0．25mol／L增加到1．0mol／L,固硫率将增加10％。相应的酸不溶钠组分的增加表明,酸不溶钠／硫组分随乙酸钠浓度的增加而增加,从而导致固硫率上升。     

Improvement of Analytical Measurements within the BCR-Programme: Single and Sequential Extraction Procedures Applied to Soil and Sediment Analysis

Abstract

The determination of extractable trace metal contents in soil and sediment, using respectively single and sequential extraction procedures, is currently performed in many laboratories to assess the bioavailable metal fraction (and related phyto-toxic effects) and the accessability to the environment (e.g. contamination of ground waters).

Owing to the need for validation of the extraction schemes used and of the analytical techniques, the Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) decided to organize a project for the improvement of the quality of determinations of extractable trace metal contents in soil and sediment. The implementation of this project follows a stepwise approach involving feasibility studies, intercomparisons to detect and remove sources of errors in the application of the analytical methods, and the certification of the extractable compounds. This paper describes the organization of the work completed so far (feasibility studies and first intercomparison) and discusses its further development.     

锂离子电池掺钴正极材料电子结构的DV-Xα研究

The electronic structures of electrode material LiMn2O4 and Li5Mn7CoO8 for the lithium ion battery are studied by employing an ab initio “atomic-basis + norm-conserving non-local pseudopotentias” method. The calculation results of the electronic structure of an ode material LiMn2O4 show that the valence band of LiMn2O4 are mainly made up of 3d atomic orbtics of Mn(8) and Mn(9), and 2 p atomic orbits of O(7), O(6) and O(4), while the conduction band contains essentially 3d orbits of Mn (8) and Mn (9), and 2p atomic orbits of O(7). At the same time, the computing results of electronic structure of electrode material Li5Mn7CoO8 indicate that the reversible capacity of the electrode can decrease and discharge voltage reduces in the cycling, and the net charge of partial lithium ions of the active electrode material and the interaction between lithium ions and oxygen ions increase. While the cycling performance of the anode can improve due to the structural stabilization of the material Li5Mn7CoO8 corresponding to the decrease of the valence band width and enhancement of the Co-O bond.
