Salen Supported Molecular Borosilicates

Various Salen ligands (Salen( ^t Bu)H₂=N, N-ethylenebis(3,5-di-tertbutyl(2-hydroxy)benzylidenimine) were used to prepare borosilyl and -O bridged borosilyl compounds having the formula, L{B(OSiMe₃)₂}₂ (L=Salen( ^t Bu) (1), Salpen( ^t Bu) (2), Salben( ^t Bu) (3), Salhen( ^t Bu) (4) and L(BOSiMe₃)₂(-O) (L=Salen( ^t Bu) (5) and Salben( ^t Bu) (6)). In the case of 5 and 6 the formation of the B–O–B linkage takes precedence over the formation of a B–O–Si linkage. All of the compounds were characterized by Mp, elemental analysis, ¹H and ¹¹B NMR, IR, MS and in the case of 1, 2, and6 by X-ray crystallography.     

Kinetic and spectroscopic study of 1O2 generation from H2O2 catalyzed by LDH-MoO4(2-) (LDH=layered double hydroxide)

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), exchanged with molybdate, decompose H2O2 to form one molecule of singlet-state dioxygen (1O2) from two molecules of H2O2. The dependence of the kinetics of H2O2 decomposition on Mo and H2O2 concentrations and on temperature has been related to structural characteristics of the material (X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), IR spectroscopy, N2 adsorption, thermogravimetry) and to molybdate speciation as revealed by in-situ studies in the presence of peroxide (FT Raman, diffuse reflectance UV/visible spectroscopy). The H2O2 decomposition rate is linearly correlated with the amount of LDH-exchanged molybdate, except when a considerable fraction of the molybdate occupies less accessible interlayer positions. A maximum in the H2O2 decomposition rate as the H2O2 concentration is increased is due to the successive formation of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetraperoxomolybdates. This behavior was modeled successfully by using the equilibrium constants for formation of the Mo-peroxo complexes, and the rate constants for decay of the peroxomolybdates with 1O2 liberation. Time-resolved diffuse reflectance and Raman observations of the various MoO4(2-)-peroxide adducts are in line with the proposed kinetic scheme. Of all the Mo-peroxo species on the LDH, the triperoxomolybdate has the highest rate for decay to 1O2. Comparison with the kinetics of dissolved molybdate shows that the monomolecular decay of all peroxomolybdate species proceeds much faster at the LDH surface than in solution. Consequently, maximal rates per Mo atom are at least twice as high for the heterogeneous LDH catalyst as for the homogeneous systems.     

In situ Fe K-edge X-ray absorption fine structure of a nitrosyl adduct of iron phthalocyanine irreversibly adsorbed on a high area carbon electrode in an acidic electrolyte

Key aspects of the microenvironment surrounding the Fe center in the nitrosyl adduct of iron phthalocyanine, [Fe(Pc)(NO)], have been elucidated from the analysis of the Fe K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) of the material adsorbed on the surface of a high area carbon electrode recorded in situ, in 0.5 M H(2)SO(4). Statistical best fits to the EXAFS data place the Fe center in a five-coordinated square pyramidal configuration shifted away from the Pc plane toward the axially bound NO bent at an angle of ca. 40 degrees with respect to the normal to the Pc plane. This environment is analogous to that of Fe in the nitrosyl adduct of crystalline [Fe(TPP)], where TPP = meso-tetraphenylporphyrinato(2-), determined from X-ray diffraction.     

Hybrid polymerization of iso-butyl vinyl ether

The radiation-induced hybrid polymerization in the presence of the N-alkoxypyridinium salt having relatively stable nonnucleophilic anion (PF₆⁻) has been investigated in the paper. Based on the analysis of experimental data and the GPC spectrum, the onium salts not only oxidize -alkoxyalkyl radicals, produced from IBVE in dichloromethane by irradiation, to the corresponding cations, but also give nonnucleophilic anions PF₆⁻ for the polymerization system. The experimental results clearly demonstrate that free radical and cationic polymerization mechanisms occurred simultaneously in IBVE/EMP⁺PF₆⁻/CH₂Cl₂ systems on irradiation with γ-ray.     

Highly stereoselective synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted 3-vinylidene tetetrahydrofurans via Prins-type cyclization

Polymer nano- and microspheres with bumpy and chain-segregated surfaces

Reported is a novel and simple method for the preparation of polymer spheres bearing hemispherical surface bumps where one type of polymer chains concentrates. The method is used to produce spheres with a diameter between approximately 30 and approximately 500 nm. Spheres with chain-segregated bumpy surfaces may find applications in drug delivery and other areas.     

Biosorption of copper(II) and zinc(II) from aqueous solution by Pseudomonas putida CZ1

To study Pseudomonas putida CZ1, having high tolerance to copper and zinc on the removal of toxic metals from aqueous solutions, the biosorption of Cu(II) and Zn(II) by living and nonliving P. putida CZ1 were studied as functions of reaction time, initial pH of the solution and metal concentration. It was found that the optimum pH for Zn(II) removal by living and nonliving cells was 5.0, while it was 5.0 and 4.5, respectively, for Cu(II) removal. At the optimal conditions, metal ion biosorption was increased as the initial metal concentration increased. The adsorption data with respect to both metals provide an excellent fit to the Langmuir isotherm. The binding capacity of living cells is significantly higher than that of nonliving cells at tested conditions. It demonstrated that about 40-50% of the metals were actively taken up by P. putida CZ1, with the remainder being passively bound to the bacterium. Moreover, desorption efficiency of Cu(II) and Zn(II) by living cells was 72.5 and 45.6% under 0.1M HCl and it was 95.3 and 83.8% by nonliving cells, respectively. It may be due to Cu(II) and Zn(II) uptake by the living cells enhanced by intracellular accumulation.
