SAPO－5，－11和－34分子筛模板剂的脱除及其结构的热致变化

用水热法合成了ＳＡＰＯ－５，－１１和－３４硅磷酸铝类分子筛。并对经不同温度焙烧处理的样品进行表征，结果表明：分子筛中模块剂的热分解过程与其结构和孔大小有较大的关系。在ＳＡＰＯ－５和ＳＡＰＯ－３４分子筛中，外部联接的Ｔ－Ｏ－Ｔ键的反对称伸缩振动峰（１２４０ｃｍ~（－１）－１０３８ｃｍ~（－１））和其对称伸缩振动（７３４ｃｍ~（－１）－６００ｃｍ~（－１））及双环的变形振动（６００－５００ｃｍ~（－１））的吸收峰对样品的结晶度比较敏感。但在ＳＡＰＯ－１１中，分子筛骨架中Ｔ－Ｏ－Ｔ反对称伸缩振动（１２２５ｃｍ~（－１）和１０３８ｃｍ~（－１））随结晶度的下降而基本保持不变，但内四面体（ＴＯ_４）的对称伸缩振动，反对称伸缩振动峰及Ｔ－Ｏ弯曲振动峰随样品焙烧温度的升高而减弱并分裂。红外吸收带向低频方向移动。ＳＥＭ－ＥＤＡＸ结果表明：随样品焙烧温度的升高，结晶度下降，分子筛晶形变得不规则，晶面越来越粗糙，但结晶度的下降并非由于其中ＰＯ_４四面体的热分解所引起，而是由外部联结的Ｔ－Ｏ－Ｔ键的断裂，双环被破坏及骨架元素间的重排所引起。

Improved hygrothermal durability of flax/polypropylene composites after chemical treatments through a hybrid approach

There are growing research interests in flax fibers due to their renewable ‘green’ origin and high strength. However, these natural fibers easily absorb moisture and have poor adhesion with polymer matrix leading to low interfacial strength for the composites. A hybrid chemical treatment technique combining alkali (sodium hydroxide) and silane treatments is adopted in the current study to modify flax fibers for improved performances of flax/polypropylene composites. Changes in chemical composition, microstructure, wettability, surface morphology, crystallinity and tensile properties of single flax fiber before and after chemical treatments were comprehensively characterized using techniques including SEM, FTIR, AFM, XRD, micro-fiber tester, etc. It was found that hemicellulose and lignin at the fiber surface were removed due to alkali treatment, which helped to reduce moisture absorption of the composites. Alkali-treated flax fibers were later subjected to silane treatment, which helped to improve the compatibility between flax fiber and polypropylene matrix. After alkali-silane hybrid chemical treatment, moisture absorption of the composites was further decreased. At the same time, the interfacial bonding strength between flax and polypropylene is significantly enhanced. All these results validate the great advantage of the hybrid chemical treatment approach for flax/polypropylene composites, which has the potential to promote the application of chemical treatment techniques in the plant fiber composite industry.

The first total synthesis of (-)-tamandarin A

[formula: see text] Tamandarin A (1), a newly isolated natural product similar in structure to didemnin B (2), was shown to be somewhat more active in vitro than 2 against pancreatic carcinoma with an ED50 value 1.5 to 2 ng/mL. We report here the first total synthesis of 1. The key steps include a practical stereoselective synthesis of the Hiv-isostatine unit, high-yielding linear precursor formation, a successful macrocyclization, and coupling of the macrocycle with the side chain to afford tamandarin A (1).     

Modeling the reaction mechanisms for redox regulation of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B activity

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) functions by removing the phosphoryl group from tyrosinephosphorylated proteins in insulin signaling and metabolism. The regeneration of the active site involves a sulphenylamide intermediate derived from the intrastrand cross-linking between the catalytic serine and the neighboring backbone nitrogen. Two mechanisms have been proposed for the formation of the sulphenylamide intermediate and the subsequent reactivation of the catalytic site. In the current work, the proposed mechanisms have been investigated by the use of density functional theory calculations. Our results suggest that these two mechanisms have similar overall energy barriers and that the preferred route will be determined by the availability of hydrogen peroxide or other oxidizing reagents.     

Water as an Efficient Solvent for Oxygenation Transformations with 34% Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by some Heteropolyoxometalates

Summary. A highly efficient, selective, fast, and cheap protocol is developed for oxidation of aromatic amines and alcohols utilizing 34% hydrogen peroxide in water catalyzed by some W- and Mo-based heteropolyoxometalates. Findings showed that dodecatungstophosphoric acid, H₃PW₁₂O₄₀, was the most efficient catalyst in the examined oxidation reactions. This methodology may prove to be a valuable alternative for eco-friendly green oxidation. Inherent simplicity, easy work up, and using regenerable catalysts were other key aspects of this oxidation protocol.

Identification of a chemical indicator of the rupture of 1,4-β-glycosidic bonds of cellulose in an oil-impregnated insulating paper system

In this study, headspace gas chromatography/mass spectrometry has been used to assess the volatile by-products generated by the ageing of oil-impregnated paper insulation of power transformers. Sealed-glass ampoules were used to age under oxidative conditions 0.5-g specimens of insulating paper in 9 mL of inhibited mineral oil in a temperature range of 60–120 °C and moisture of 0.5, 1 and 2% (w/w). A linear relationship between one of the oil-soluble degradation by-products, i.e. methanol, and the number of ruptured 1,4-β-glycosidic bonds of cellulose, regardless of the type of paper (ordinary Kraft or thermally-upgraded (TU) Kraft paper), was established for the first time in this field. Ageing at 130 °C of model compounds of the Kraft paper constituents (α-cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) and two cellulosic breakdown by-products (D-(+)-glucose and 1,6-anhydro-β-d-glucopyranose) confirmed that the α-cellulose degradation was mostly responsible for the presence of this molecule in the system. Furthermore, additional 130 °C-tests with six different papers and pressboard samples under a tight control of initial moisture indicated that at least one molecule of methanol is formed for each rupture of 1,4-β-glucosidic bond of the molecular chains. Stability tests showed that the ageing indicator is stable under the oxygen and temperature conditions of open-breathing transformers. The presence of methanol was detected in 94% of oil samples collected from over than 900 in-service pieces of equipment, confirming the potential for this application. Lastly, the tests have shown that oil-oxidation by-products and TU-nitrogenous agents modify the methanol partitioning coefficients in the paper/oil/air system, which makes their study essential over a range of field conditions encountered by power transformers. Results are presented and discussed in comparison with 2-furfuraldehyde, which is the current reference in the domain.
