Study on the mechanism of catalytic synthesis of dimethyldichlorosilane by AlCl3/MIL‐53(Al)@γ‐Al2O3

Dimethyldichlorosilane, one of the most consumed organosilicon monomers in the industry, can be prepared in a highly efficient and environmentally friendly synthesis method of disproportionating methylchlorosilanes. However, the internal mechanism of the reaction remains unclear. In this paper, the mechanism catalyzed by AlCl₃/MIL‐53(Al) and AlCl₃/MIL‐53(Al)@γ‐Al₂O₃ catalysts was calculated at B3LYP/6‐311++G(3df, 2pd) level by using the density functional theory (DFT). The results showed that although the two catalysts had similar active structures, the catalytic effects were significantly different. The Lewis acid center on the surface of γ‐Al₂O₃ in the core‐shell catalyst is complementary to the classic Lewis acid AlCl₃ through the spatial superposition effect, which greatly improves the Lewis acid catalytic activity of AlCl₃/MIL‐53(Al)@γ‐Al₂O₃.     

Malononitrile-involved Michael addition polymerization: An efficient and facile route for cyano-rich polyesters with programmable thermal and mechanical properties

An efficient, atom-economic, oxygen-tolerant, and water-tolerant strategy has been established to synthesize cyano-rich polyesters. Four kinds of organic bases, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG), 4-dimethylaminopyridine, triethylamine, and 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) were explored for accelerating Michael addition polymerization of malononitrile and 1,4-butandiol diacrylate. TMG can promote the polymerization efficiently under mild conditions to quantitatively afford polyester with high-molecular weight and moderate polydispersity. The comparison of the kinetic studies of TMG and TBD reveals that TMG shows better catalytic performance, while the catalysis of TBD brings about oligomers in spite of the higher efficiency at early age of the polymerization. Moreover, other diacrylate compounds could also be quantitatively polymerized to afford polyesters with high molecular weight. When dimethacrylate is chose as the monomer, the polymerization becomes sluggish. All the afforded polyesters display programmable thermal and mechanical properties that are closely related to their chemical structures.     

Mechanically strong and stiff supramolecular polymers enabled by fiber reinforced long-chain alkane matrix

Fiber-reinforced-concrete (FRC) mechanism refers short discrete fibers that are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented, which offers an effective way to improve the mechanical performance of concrete. In the design of supramolecular polymers, an analogous concept of FRC appears to have been considered very rarely-although fibrous structure has been frequently observed/generated during the supramolecular polymerization. In this work, we apply the alkane thermosets, octadecane (C₁₈H₃₈) and tetracosane (C₂₄H₅₀), taking the role of “concrete”, and the low-molecular-weight monomer with long alkyl chains as the essential “fiber” component, to fabricate the “fiber reinforced supramolecular polymer”. Very much like FRC mechanism in material science, the resulting fiber reinforced supramolecular polymer thus exhibit unusually high mechanical strength and stiffness, which is unprecedented in the conventional supramolecular strategy.     

A class of azocarbazole-based carboxylates: High-efficiency ionic unimolecular photobase generators for thiol-epoxy click polymerization under blue light

Two new unimolecular azocarbazole-based visible photobase generators (Ac-C-Base) with different strong bases such as 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) and 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) as the potential active species were prepared. Their structures were confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HR-MS. According to the photolysis and EPR results, Ac-C-Base could generate free radicals and strong bases simultaneously through the photodecarboxylation mechanism under 455 nm LED irradiation. Thus they can effectively catalyze the thiol-epoxy polymerization without post exposure baking under light exposure. In addition, the Ac-C-TBD containing a stronger base shows a faster polymerization rate and higher epoxy conversion.

交通事故的时空热点分析

针对目前交通事故分析中时空维度分离的不足,以H市2013―2015年的交通事故数据为研究对象,根据自组织神经网络、平行坐标系、时空颜色矩阵和时空网络核密度估计、热点分析法,分别从行政区划以及道路网络上进行交通事故的时空特征分析,从宏观和微观角度揭示交通事故的时空热点区域。结果表明,整体来说,在空间上,H市交通事故热点区域4个街道高于8个镇,呈明显的“两带一中心”分布,即硖许线与101省道形成的带状区域和市政府所在的行政中心区域;时间上,早、晚高峰时段最为严重,夜晚较为轻微,呈明显的区域特征分布,即工业办公区热点出现在早高峰时段,生活住宅区热点出现在晚高峰时段,商业消费区热点出现在夜晚时段。
