Oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones using selenium ionic liquid

A new type of ionic liquid supported selenium reagents were synthesized and found to be an excellent catalyst in the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones in the presence of 30%H₂O₂.The predictable solubility of ionic liquids allows an easy separation of the oxidation products from the reaction mixture.Furthermore,the oxidation reaction can be carried out using an ionic liquid as the solvent,and the ionic liquid-supported selenium reagents can be recycled and used for four times with a little decrease in catalytic performance.     

Solubility, Dissolution Enthalpy and Entropy of Isoimperatorin in Ethanol?+?Water Solvent Systems from 288.2 to 328.2?K

The solubility of isoimperatorin in pure solvents and solvent mixtures was measured by UV spectrophotometry from 288.2 to 328.2?K. The solubility of isoimperatorin in binary ethanol and water solvent systems increases with temperature and with decrease of the mole fraction of water in the solvent mixture. The solubility data were correlated with a modified Apelblat equation. The enthalpy and entropy of dissolution of isoimperatorin were evaluated using the van??t Hoff equation.     

A New Mixed‐Valence Tetranuclear Manganese [MnII2MnIII2] Cluster

A new tetranuclear manganese complex [Mn₂^IIMn₂^III(bhmcpH)₂(hmp)₄Cl₂(MeOH)₂] ( 1 ) [bhmcpH₃ = 2, 6‐bis(hydroxymethyl)‐4‐chlorophenol, hmpH = 2‐(hydroxymethyl)pyridine] was synthesized and characterized. X‐ray diffraction analyses reveal that complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. It has a mixed‐valence tetranuclear dicubane unit, which comprises two Mn^II and two Mn^III ions. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibilities of 1 indicates ferromagnetic interactions between the manganese ions.     

Chiral pyrrolidine quaternary derivatives as organocatalysts for asymmetric Michael additions

A series of chiral pyrrolidine quaternary derivatives were designed and synthesized. It was found that these derivatives are highly efficient organocatalysts for the asymmetric Michael addition reactions of aldehydes and ketones to nitroolefins with high yields (up to 96%), high enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee), and high diastereoselectivities (up to 97:3 dr). Furthermore, catalyst 7a could be recycled without remarkable loss of catalytic activity and stereoselectivity.

以Na2CO3、(CH3CO2)2Mn.4H2O、Y2O3和CH3COOLi.2H2O为原料,采用高温固相法经过2次灼烧和水热离子交换法得到一系列钇掺杂的LiMn1-xYxO2(x:0.01,0.02,0.03,0.05)化合物。通过XRD、XPS、循环伏安及恒电流充放电测试技术,研究了钇掺杂离子对合成正极材料结构及电化学性能的影响。结果表明,所得产物均具有单斜层状结构。合适的钇掺杂可以起到扩展锂离子脱嵌通道和稳定骨架结构的作用,钇离子的引入部分取代原有的三价锰离子,由于钇离子的离子半径较三价锰离子大,因此稀土掺杂锰酸锂材料的晶胞参数比未掺杂材料大,在一定程度上扩充了锂离子迁移的三维通道,更有利于锂离子的嵌入与脱嵌,提高单斜层状LiMnO2材料的电化学循环可逆性及循环稳定性。通过对所得化合物进行了钇掺杂量及电化学性能的研究,得到性能比较优良的LiY0.021Mn0.979O2化合物,其首次放电比容量为125.7mA.h/g,100次循环以后,放电比容量达212.1mA.h/g,远高于未掺杂材料的放电容量138mA.h/g。交流阻抗测试结果表明,Y3+的掺入能降低材料的电化学反应阻抗和提高材料中Li+的扩散能力。     

Counterflow isotachophoresis in a monolithic column

This study describes stationary counterflow isotachophoresis (ITP) in a poly(acrylamide‐co‐N,N′‐methylenebisacrylamide) monolithic column as a means for improving ITP processing capacity and reducing dispersion. The flow profile in the monolith was predicted using COMSOL's Brinkman Equation application mode, which revealed that the flow profile was mainly determined by monolith permeability. As monolith permeability decreases, the flow profile changes from a parabolic shape to a plug shape. An experimental monolithic column was prepared in a fused‐silica capillary using an ultraviolet‐initiated polymerization method. A monolithic column made from 8% (wt.) monomer was chosen for the stationary counterflow ITP experiments. Counterflow ITP in the monolithic column showed undistorted analyte zones with significantly reduced dispersion compared to the severe dispersion observed in an open capillary. Particularly, for r‐phycoerythrin focused by counterflow ITP, its zone width in the monolithic column was only one‐third that observed in an open capillary. These experiments demonstrate that stationary counterflow ITP in monoliths can be a robust and practical electrofocusing method.     

Acidic functionalized ionic liquids as catalyst for the isomerization of α-pinene to camphene

An acidic functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) [HSO₃-(CH₂)₃-NEt₃]Cl-ZnCl₂ was synthesized and used to catalyze the isomerization of α-pinene in a homogeneous system. The optimum conditions for isomerization were obtained as follows: n(α-pinene):n(ILs) = 9:1, reaction temperature 140 °C, and reaction time 4 h, α-pinene 0.04 mol. Under the optimal conditions, the conversion of α-pinene was 97.6 % and the selectivity for camphene could reach 64.8 %. In addition, the catalyst could be easily separated by centrifugation after the isomerization completely finished. When the ILs were repeatedly used for four times, the conversion of α-pinene and the selectivity for camphene were still excellent, indicating the superb recycle ability of the acidic functionalized ILs catalyst.
