Interaction in Crystals: The Keyboard of Na⊕ Coordination Numbers in Its Carbazole Anion Salts Some local minima in the shallow potential of the system carbazole anion, sodium cation, and the ethers tetrahydrofuran, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, diglyme, triglyme, tetraglyme, 15-crown-5 as well as 2.2.1-cryptand are explored experimentally and by quantum-chemical calculations. Three prototype contact-ion multiples of Na⊕-solvated carbazole anion M? salts have been crystallized and structurally characterized: polyether-solvated monomers [M?Na⊕solv]1, solvent-shared dimers [M?Na⊕solv]2, and solvent-separated polyions [(M?)nNa?solv](n?1)? [Na⊕solv](n?1). The Na⊕ coordination numbers stretch from 3 to 7 as illustrated by the compounds [(M?)3Na+]??[Na+(2.2.1-crytand)]2 for 3 and 7, [(M?)2Na+(THF)2]? [Na⊕(2.2.1-cryptand)] for 4 and 7, [M? Na+(diglyme)]2 for 5, or [M? Na+(l 5-crown-5)] for 6. Structural comparison is based on literature analogies as well as on results of MNDO calculations concerning charge distribution and enthalpies of formation. Taken together, the results demonstrate the delicate energy balance, by which cation solvation can influence the formation of organic salts. 相似文献
The objective of this study is to develop a flexible and stable numerical method to predict the thermal decomposition of large wood particles due to drying and pyrolysis. At a later stage, this model is applied to each particle of a packed bed and thus, forms the entire packed bed process as a sum of individual particle processes. Therefore, this approach can deal with particles of different sizes, shapes and properties. A general formulation of the conservation equations allows the geometry of a fuel particle to be treated as a plate, cylinder or sphere. The various processes such as heat-up, drying and pyrolysis are described by a set of one-dimensional and transient conservation equations for mass and energy. This allows for simultaneous processes e.g. reactions in time and covers the entire range between transport-limited (shrinking core) and kinetically limited (reacting core) reaction regimes. The particles interact with a gas phase by heat and mass transfer taking into account the Stefan correction due to the gas outflow during conversion. Experiments carried out span a temperature range between T=300 and 900 °C for particle sizes varying between 8 and 17 mm. A comparison between measurements and predictions of drying models yielded satisfactory agreement only for the constant evaporation temperature model and thus, indicating, that the drying process is transport limited by heat transfer for large wood particles. Likewise, predicted results of pyrolysis for the above-mentioned range of temperatures and sizes agreed satisfactorily with measurements. 相似文献
The contribution of organic solvents to the mechanisms responsible for separation in microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC) is reviewed. Organic solvents are needed as constituents of microemulsions for a series of reasons. (i). A water-immiscible organic substance is used to form the actual oil phase of the microemulsion, (ii). a less hydrophobic solvent is commonly employed as a so-called co-surfactant, and (iii). in many cases an organic modifier is added to influence the solubility of the analytes in the aqueous phase of the microemulsion. All these organic solvents do not only participate in the separation in their actual function, but also interact with each other and the analytes. Variations in separation selectivities triggered by changes in the nature and/or concentration of these organic solvents present in microemulsions suitable for MEEKC are discussed in this work. 相似文献
Wetting film extraction was combined with colorimetry to determine nanogram amounts of molybdenum(VI). The simple extraction procedure enhanced sensitivity and selectivity while maintaining a high sample throughput. Extraction and back extraction steps were exploited to exclude interference from the 31 metal species and 11 anions tested. In the first step, molybdenum(VI) was extracted into a toluene film as an ion paired complex. Molybdenum(VI) reacted with thiocyanate to form anionic molybdenum(V) and/or molybdenum(VI) thiocyanate complexes. The complexes were extracted into a toluene film containing tetraheptylammonium bromide as ion pairing reagent. The thiocyanate ligands were displaced by 1,5-diphenylcarbazone (DPC) to form a more intensely colored complex (λmax= 540 nm). DPC was introduced in the back extraction solvent, methanol. The relative standard deviation was 2.5% for 50 ng ml−1of molybdenum(VI) (n= 10) at a rate of 25 samples h−1. The detection limit (3 × baseline noise) was 2.5 × 10−8M. 相似文献
The treatment of trialkyl phosphate with different alkyl bromides provides facile access to mixed phosphate esters. The presence of substoichiometric amounts of lithium bromide was found to be critical to this transesterification process, supporting a mechanism involving initial generation of phosphate anion, followed by its nucleophilic attack on alkyl bromide. 相似文献
(−)-Neplanocin F, the natural isomer of a component of the neplanocin family was enantioselectively synthesized starting from d-γ-ribonolactone. The synthetic approach was based on the preparation of a suitable carbocyclic precursor bearing three hydroxyl groups orthogonally protected. The key steps of the synthesis were the regioselective protection of a secondary allylic alcohol over a homoallylic one and the coupling of the nucleobase with a triflate intermediate. 相似文献

Condensation of γ-tocopherol with aldehydes provides 2,4-disubstituted 1,3,8-trioxaphenanthrenes in a simple one-pot reaction. The reaction proceeded under acid catalysis according to a two-step alkylation-acetalisation mechanism in yields between 58 and 81%. The title compounds are precursors for the thermal generation of ortho-quinone methides, which can be in situ reduced to give antioxidants of the 5a-substituted α-tocopherol-type. The products were analytically characterized by NMR and HRMS. 相似文献
Redox reactions are still a challenge for biochemical engineers. A personal view for the development of this field is given. Cofactor regeneration was an obstacle for quite some time. The first technical breakthrough was achieved with the system formate/formate dehydrogenase for the regeneration of NADH2. In cases where the same enzyme could be used for chiral reduction as well as for cofactor regeneration, isopropanol as a hydrogen source proved to be beneficial. The coproduct (acetone) can be removed by pervaporation. Whole-cell reductions (often yeast reductions) can also be used. By proper biochemical reaction engineering, it is possible to apply these systems in a continuous way. By cloning a formate dehydrogenase and an oxidoreductase "designer bug" can be obtained where formate is used instead of glucose as the hydrogen source. Complex sequences of redox reactions can be established by pathway engineering with a focus on gene overexpression or with a focus on establishing non-natural pathways. The success of pathway engineering can be controlled by measuring cytosolic metabolite concentrations. The optimal exploitation of such systems calls for the integrated cooperation of classical and molecular biochemical engineering. 相似文献
The Rb/K ion exchange in micro-structured K(TiO)PO4 single crystals in contact with Rb containing nitrate melts results in ion-exchanged zones with enlarged refractive index which works as an optical phase grating. The knowledge of the diffusion behavior was the prerequisite for the generation of optimum refractive index profiles. Therefore, the local Rb/K concentration of ion-exchanged single crystals was determined with an electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA). The observed degree of ion exchange and the calculated Rb/K counterdiffusion coefficients were used to estimate the optimum ion exchange conditions. The diffusion-generated optical phase gratings show very narrow and deep ion-exchanged zones. The ratio of the ion penetration depths results in an extreme diffusion anisotropy DRb/K(c):DRb/K(b) ≈ 500:1.
