Removal of CO2 from CO gas mixtures is a necessary but challenging step during production of ultra‐pure CO as processed from either steam reforming of hydrocarbons or CO2 reduction. Herein, two hybrid ultramicroporous materials (HUMs), SIFSIX‐3‐Ni and TIFSIX‐2‐Cu‐i , which are known to exhibit strong affinity for CO2, were examined with respect to their performance for this separation. The single‐gas CO sorption isotherms of these HUMs were measured for the first time and are indicative of weak affinity for CO and benchmark CO2/CO selectivity (>4000 for SIFSIX‐3‐Ni ). This prompted us to conduct dynamic breakthrough experiments and compare performance with other porous materials. Ultra‐pure CO (99.99 %) was thereby obtained from CO gas mixtures containing both trace (1 %) and bulk (50 %) levels of CO2 in a one‐step physisorption‐based separation process. 相似文献
Motivated by mirror symmetry, we study certain integral representations of solutions to the Gel´fand-Kapranov-Zelevinsky (GKZ) hypergeometric system. Some of these solutions arise as period integrals for Calabi-Yau manifolds in mirror symmetry. We prove that for a suitable compactification of the parameter space, there exist certain special boundary points, which we called maximal degeneracy points, at which all solutions but one become singular.
The purpose of this paper is to prove that every proper holomorphic self-mapping of a Reinhardt domain Ω inCnwhich is a generalization of a complex ellipsoid is biholomorphic. The main novelty of our result is that Ω is a domain inCnsuch that it is allowed to have a boundary point at which the Levi determinant has infinite order of vanishing. 相似文献
The solarization mechanism in a glass containing both Ce3+ and As5+, 16Na2O·11CaO·73SiO2:0.15AsOx·0.015CeOx (in mol.%), is newly proposed by elucidating the valence and coordination structure of arsenic after the photochemical reaction, the mechanism being traditionally expressed as ESR hyperfine quartets due to an As4+ ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 T built up on UV-irradiation and their line shape varied with the duration of the irradiation. The line shape analysis of the ESR spectra employing a computer simulation technique has led to the following conclusions; (1) As5+ is reduced to As4+ in the solarization process. (2) The geometry around the As4+ in the solarized glass is tetrahedral during the early stage and trigonal-pyramidal during the latter stage of the reaction. 相似文献
Strand breakages and nucleobase damages in plasmid DNA (pDNA) by CdSe-ZnS quantum dots (QDs) are investigated under different conditions of photoactivation. Here, streptavidin functionalized CdSe-ZnS QDs are conjugated to biotinylated pDNA, and photosensitized strand breakages and nucleobase damages in the conjugates are investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging, gel electrophoreses analyses, and assay of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI). Also, reactions of photoactivated pDNA-QD conjugates with base excision repair enzymes such as formamidopyrimidine glycosylase (Fpg) and endonuclease III (Endo III) show damages of purine and pyrimidine bases. The base excision repair enzymes recognize and remove the damaged bases. The base excision reactions of photoactivated pDNA-QD conjugates resulted in pDNA strand breakages, which appeared as sheared bands in agarose gel images. On the basis of AFM imaging, reactions of Fpg and Endo III with damaged pDNA, ROI assay, and literature reports, we attribute the breakage and damage of pDNA to its reactions with ROI. The production of ROI by photoactivated QDs is confirmed by nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) assay. The current work shows that photoactivation of QD-conjugated nucleic acids for an extended period of time is not favorable for their stability. On the other hand, photoinduced production of ROI by QDs is an emerging research area with potential applications in the photodynamic therapy of cancer. In this regard, photosensitized damage of pDNA observed in the current work shows possibilities of QDs in nucleus-targeted photodynamic therapy. 相似文献
The molecular weight distribution formed in an ideal reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)‐mediated radical polymerization is considered theoretically. In this polymerization, the addition to the RAFT agent is reversible, and the active period on the same chain could be repeated, via the two‐armed intermediate, with probability 1/2. This possible repetition is accounted for by introducing a new concept, the overall active/dormant periods. With this method, the apparent functional form of the molecular weight distribution (MWD) reduces to that proposed for the ideal living radical polymers (Tobita, Macromol. Theory Simul. 2006 , 15, 12). The repetition results in a broader MWD than without the repetition. The formulae for the average molecular weights formed in batch and a continuous stirred tank reactor are also presented.
The reaction of the group 9 bis(hydrosulfido) complexes [Cp*M(SH)2(PMe3)] (M=Rh, Ir; Cp*=eta(5)-C 5Me5) with the group 6 nitrosyl complexes [Cp*M'Cl2(NO)] (M'=Mo, W) in the presence of NEt3 affords a series of bis(sulfido)-bridged early-late heterobimetallic (ELHB) complexes [Cp*M(PMe3)(mu-S)2M'(NO)Cp*] (2a, M=Rh, M'=Mo; 2b, M=Rh, M'=W; 3a, M=Ir, M'=Mo; 3b, M=Ir, M'=W). Similar reactions of the group 10 bis(hydrosulfido) complexes [M(SH)2(dppe)] (M=Pd, Pt; dppe=Ph 2P(CH2) 2PPh2), [Pt(SH)2(dppp)] (dppp=Ph2P(CH2) 3PPh2), and [M(SH)2(dpmb)] (dpmb=o-C6H4(CH2PPh2)2) give the group 10-group 6 ELHB complexes [(dppe)M(mu-S)2M'(NO)Cp*] (M=Pd, Pt; M'=Mo, W), [(dppp)Pt(mu-S)2M'(NO)Cp*] (6a, M'=Mo; 6b, M'=W), and [(dpmb)M(mu-S)2M'(NO)Cp*] (M=Pd, Pt; M'=Mo, W), respectively. Cyclic voltammetric measurements reveal that these ELHB complexes undergo reversible one-electron oxidation at the group 6 metal center, which is consistent with isolation of the single-electron oxidation products [Cp*M(PMe3)(mu-S)2M'(NO)Cp*][PF6] (M=Rh, Ir; M'=Mo, W). Upon treatment of 2b and 3b with ROTf (R=Me, Et; OTf=OSO 2CF 3), the O atom of the terminal nitrosyl ligand is readily alkylated to form the alkoxyimido complexes such as [Cp*Rh(PMe3)(mu-S)2W(NOMe)Cp*][OTf]. In contrast, methylation of the Rh-, Ir-, and Pt-Mo complexes 2a, 3a, and 6a results in S-methylation, giving the methanethiolato complexes [Cp*M(PMe3)(mu-SMe)(mu-S)Mo(NO)Cp*][BPh 4] (M=Rh, Ir) and [(dppp)Pt(mu-SMe)(mu-S)Mo(NO)Cp*][OTf], respectively. The Pt-W complex 6b undergoes either S- or O-methylation to form a mixture of [(dppp)Pt(mu-SMe)(mu-S)W(NO)Cp*][OTf] and [(dppp)Pt(mu-S) 2W(NOMe)Cp*][OTf]. These observations indicate that O-alkylation and one-electron oxidation of the dinuclear nitrosyl complexes are facilitated by a common effect, i.e., donation of electrons from the group 9 or 10 metal center, where the group 9 metals behave as the more effective electron donor. 相似文献
We introduce a family of natural normalized Loewner chains in the unit ball, which we call “geräumig”—spacious—which allow us to construct, by means of suitable variations, other normalized Loewner chains which coincide with the given ones from a certain time on. We apply our construction to the study of support points, extreme points, and time-\(\log M\)-reachable mappings in the class \(S^0\) of mappings admitting parametric representation. 相似文献
The layered P2‐NaxMO2 (M: transition metal) system has been widely recognized as electronic or mixed conductor. Here, we demonstrate that Co vacancies in P2‐NaxCoO2 created by hydrogen reductive elimination lead to an ionic conductivity of 0.045 S cm?1 at 25 °C. Using in situ synchrotron X‐ray powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, the composition of the superionic conduction phase is evaluated to be Na0.61(H3O)0.18Co0.93O2. Electromotive force measurements as well as molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the ion conducting species is proton rather than hydroxide ion. The fact that the Co‐stoichiometric compound Nax(H3O)yCoO2 does not exhibit any significant ionic conductivity proves that Co vacancies are essential for the occurrence of superionic conductivity. 相似文献
