新工科视阈下石油化工类高校应用化学专业课程体系重构

Taking a typical local and industry-orientated applied chemistry major as an example with focusing on the major changes in the form and content of the petrochemical industry, the way to reform the core curriculum system and teaching contents is presented. Based on the changing tendency of refinement of the petrochemical industry, a complete curriculum system with distinctive industry characteristics is set up according to the principles of the emerging engineering education (3E) with several reasonable suggestions. A new model for the construction of a 3E major in chemistry-related majors is suggested. It is a good reference for the construction of curriculum systems for other local and industry-orientated colleges who want to make 3E reform.     

Isolation of lipase producer and its performance in enantioselective hydrolysis of glycidyl butyrate

A racemic glycidyl butyrate resolving strain, preliminarily identified as a Rhizopus sp., had been isolated from soil. Its extracellular lipase was found to enantioselectively hydrolyze the (S)-enantiomer of the chiral ester, with optimal activities at pH 5.3 and 42°C. Higher en antioselectivity of theenzyme was observed at lower temperatures, while the best anantioselectivity was obtained at pH 5.5–6.0, with an, E value (enantiomeric ratio) of 57.     

SSZ-53 and SSZ-59: two novel extra-large pore zeolites

The syntheses, structure solutions, and physicochemical and catalytic characterizations of the novel zeolites SSZ-53 and SSZ-59 are described. SSZ-53 and SSZ-59 were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions with the [1-(4-fluorophenyl)cyclopentylmethyl]trimethyl ammonium cation and 1-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclopentylmethyl]-1-methyl azocanium cation, respectively, as structure-directing agents. The framework topology of SSZ-53 was solved with the FOCUS method, and the structure of SSZ-59 was determined by model building. Rietveld refinement of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data confirms each proposed model. SSZ-53 and SSZ-59 each possess a one-dimensional channel system delimited by 14-membered rings. Results from transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, catalytic experiments (spaciousness index and constraint index tests), and argon and hydrocarbon adsorption experiments are consistent with the proposed structures.     

Ab initio studies of small AlmFen clusters

The equilibrium geometrical structures of small Al_mFe_n clusters have been determined through ab initio calculation of the cluster total energy at the UB3LYP/Lanl2dz level. For dimers of iron and aluminum, the dissociation energies, the equilibrium atomic distances, and the vibrational frequencies were calculated. The agreement between calculations and experiments is reasonable. The ground stable geometrical structures of Fe₄, FeAl₃, Fe₃Al and Fe₂Al₂ clusters favor three-dimension configurations, but Al₄ tetramers are planar structures. The Al-rich tetramers are more stable than the other two composition tetramers. This is different from that of bulk alloys.     

Absorption Spectra of 5′-carboxy-2′-hydroxychalcone and its Derivatives

Ultraviolet absorption spectra and infrared absorption spectra of 5′-carboxy-2′-hydroxychalcone and eleven derivatives substituted at side benzene nucleus are measured to elucidate the spectroscopic effects of the 5′-carboxyl group in this series of compounds.
