Nickel(0)-induzierte CC-verknüpfung zwischen kohlendioxid und alkinen sowie alkenen

CO₂ and alkynes or alkenes undergo a 1/1 coupling in the presence of (Lig)Ni⁰ complexes to give five-membered cyclic nickela complexes of types V and XVII. The influence of temperature and of the ligands upon the regioselectivity of the CC coupling in the case of monosubstituted olefins is reported, and the significance of these ring systems in preparative chemistry is emphasized. Oxanickelacyclopentenones (V) react with alkynes to form oxanickelacycloheptadienones (XIII). The structure of one of the compounds of this class has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Special features of these novel compounds, which can be readily prepared from CO₂, are discussed together with the probable reaction mechanisms.     

Offenkettige 1,4-diazabutadiene als liganden in tetraorganylcyclobutadien-nickel(0)-komplexen

Modellkomplexe des nickels für die [2+2+2′]-cycloaddition von alkinen mit kohlendioxid

The oxanickelacyclopentenone (I), formed from 2-butyne, CO₂ and nickel(0), reacts with activated alkynes by insertion to give oxanickelacycloheptadienones (II). It is suggested that these novel nickela complexes are intermediates in the nickel-catalysed synthesis of 2-pyrones from alkynes and CO₂.     

FEATURES AND APPLICATIONS OF BERTALANFFY-RICHARDS‘ AND SCHNUTE'S GROWTH EQUATIONS

ABSTRACT. Based on various ranges of the parameter m (or b), the paper analyzes the features and the integral forms of the Schnute and the Bertalanffy-Richards growth equations as well as the two aspects of their special cases (such as Gompertz, logistic and monomolecular models). It is a first attempt to investigate all the corresponding relationships among parameters of the models derived from the Schnute and the Bertalanffy-Richards growth equations. All the models from the two are empirically fitted by different data sets for eucalypt plantations. Unlike earlier papers, the results of this paper show that either of the two growth equations can be considered as a model for estimating forest growth given a parameter range, and both can produce similar growth performances. Some other aspects of the two growth equations are discussed so that the two can be used correctly.     

Glass Formation Ability and Kinetics of the Gd55A120Ni25 Bulk Metallic Glass

We report a new bulk glass-forming alloy GdssA12oNi25. The bulk sample of the alloy is prepared in the shape of rods in diameter 2ram by suction casting. The rod exhibits typical amorphous characteristics in the x-ray diffraction pattern, paramagnetic property at 30OK, distinct glass transition and multi-step crystallization behaviour in differential scanning calorimetry traces. The gJass formation ability of the alloy is investigated by using the reduced glass transition temperature Trg and the parameter γ- Kinetics of glass transition and primary crystallization is also studied. The fragility parameter m obtained from the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann dependence of glass transition temperature Tg on In φ （φ is the heating rate） classifies the bulk metallic glasses into the intermediate category according to Angell＇s classification.     

LED照射光催化剂用于苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯分解(英文)

Studies on the use of gas phase applications of light emitting diodes(LEDs) in photocatalysis are scarce although their photocatalytic decomposition kinetics of environmental pollutants are likely different from those in aqueous solutions.The present study evaluated the use of chips of visible light LEDs to irradiate nitrogen doped titania(N-TiO2) prepared by hydrolysis to decompose gaseous benzene,toluene,ethyl benzene,m-xylene,p-xylene,and o-xylene.Photocatalysts calcined at different temperatures were characterized by various analytical instruments.The degradation efficiency of benzene was close to zero for all conditions.For the other compounds,a conventional 8 W daylight lamp/N-TiO2 unit gave a higher photocatalytic degradation efficiency as compared with that of visible-LED/N-TiO2 units.However,the ratios of degradation efficiency to electric power consumption were higher for the photocatalytic units that used two types of visible-LED lamps(blue and white LEDs).The highest degradation efficiency was observed with the use of a calcination temperature of 350 oC.The average degradation efficiencies for toluene,ethyl benzene,m-xylene,p-xylene,and o-xylene were 35%,68%,94%,and 93%,respectively.The use of blue-and white-LEDs,high light intensity,and low initial concentrations gave high photocatalytic activities for the photocatalytic units using visible-LEDs.The morphological and optical properties of the photocatalysts were correlated to explain the dependence of photocatalytic activity on calcination temperature.The results suggest that visible-LEDs are energy efficient light source for photocatalytic gas phase applications,but the activity depends on the operational conditions.
