Alkylation of ethyl bromomalonate by alkylcobaloximes

Allylcobaloximes react under very mild conditions with ethyl bromomalonate to yield allyl-substituted ethylmalonates in good yield. In the case of crotyl-, 3,3 dimethyl, allyl- and cinnamyl-cobaloximes, the substitution occurs with total rearrangement of the allyl groups. Similar rearrangements are observed during the reactions of propargyl- and allenylcobaloximes with BrCH(CO₂Et)₂ yielding allenyl- and propargyl-malonic esters respectively.

Host–Guest Complexation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-, <Emphasis Type="Italic">γ</Emphasis>-Cyclodextrin with Alkyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromides in Aqueous Solution

As a continuation of our previous investigation, interactions between cyclodextrin (β-CD), γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) and alkyl trimethylammonium bromides in aqueous solutions have been studied with titration calorimetry and ¹H NMR at 298.15 K. The results are discussed in terms of the amphiphilic interaction of CD with surfactants and the iceberg structure formed by water molecules existing around the hydrophobic tail of surfactant molecules. The stoichiometry of the β-CD–surfactant system is 1:1 whereas that of the γ-CD–surfactant system is 1:2. The corresponding formation enthalpy (negative) of the complexes of the two systems decreases with an increase in the number of carbon atoms (n) in hydrophobic chain of surfactant molecule, C _n H_2n+1, whereas the entropy increases with the enlargement of n.     

Preparation of crosslinked polystyrene-supported ethylenediamine via a S-containing spacer and adsorption properties towards metal ions

Two novel chelating resins were prepared by anchoring ethylenediamine to crosslinked polystyrene via a spacer containing sulfide. Their structures were characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectra (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Porous structure parameters of the resins were measured by ASAP 2020 using BET and BJH methods. Their adsorption capacities for several heavy metal ions especially Hg²⁺ were investigated. The results showed that for the two resins, the more N contents did not mean the better adsorption capacity and the saturated adsorption capacity of poly(2-ethylenediamidomercaptomethylstyrene) (PSM-EDA) for Hg²⁺ could reach to 3.0 mmol/g at room temperature. Isothermal adsorptions of the resins for Hg²⁺ could be described by Langmuir formula. The adsorption mechanism of the resins for Hg²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺ was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and FTIR.     

Raman microscopy of selected tungstate minerals

A series of tungstate bearing minerals including scheelite, stolzite, ferberite, hübnerite, wolframite, russellite, tungstenian wulfenite and cuprotungstite have been analyzed by Raman microscopy. The results of the Raman spectroscopic analysis are compared with published data. These minerals are closely related and often have related paragenesis. Raman microscopy enables the selection of individual crystals of these minerals for spectroscopic analysis even though several of the minerals can be found in the same matrix because of the pargenetic relationships between the minerals. The Raman spectra are assigned according to factor group analysis and related to the structure of the minerals. These minerals have characteristically different Raman spectra. The nu1(Ag) band is observed at 909 cm(-1) and although the corresponding nu1(Bu) vibration should be inactive a minor band is observed around 894 cm(-1). The bands at 790 and 881 cm(-1) are associated with the antisymmetric and symmetric Ag modes of terminal WO2. The band at 695 cm(-1) is interpreted as an antisymmetric bridging mode associated with the tungstate chain. The nu4(Eg) band was absent for scheelite. The bands at 353 and 401 cm(-1) are assigned as either deformation modes or as r(Bg) and delta(Ag) modes of terminal WO2. The band at 462 cm(-1) has an equivalent band in the infrared at 455 cm(-1) assigned as delta(as)(Au) of the (W2O4)n chain. The band at 508 cm(-1) is assigned as nu(sym)(Bg) of the (W2O4)n chain.     

Direct evidence of oxidized gold on supported gold catalysts

Supported gold catalysts have drawn worldwide interest due to the novel properties and potential applications in industries. However, the origin of the catalytic activity in gold nanoparticles is still not well understood. In this study, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS) has been applied to investigate the nature of gold in Au (1.3 wt %)/gamma-Al2O3 and Au (2.8 wt %)/TiO2 catalysts prepared by the deposition-precipitation method. The SIMS spectrum of the supported gold catalysts presented AuO-, AuO2-, and AuOH- ion clusters. These measurements show direct evidence for oxidized gold on supported gold catalysts and may be helpful to gaining better understanding of the origin of the catalytic activity.     

Calorimetric and thermal decomposition kinetic study of Tb(Tyr)(Gly)<Subscript>3</Subscript>Cl<Subscript>3</Subscript>·3H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O

The solid-state ternary complex of terbium chloride with L-tyrosine and glycine, [Tb(Tyr)(Gly)₃Cl₃·3H₂O], was synthesized and characterized. Using a solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter, the enthalpy of reaction for the following reaction, TbCl₃·6H₂O(s)+Tyr(s)+3Gly(s)=Tb(Tyr)(Gly)₃Cl₃·3H₂O(s)+3H₂O(l), was determined to be (5.1±0.6) kJ mol^-1. The standard enthalpy of formation of Tb(Tyr)(Gly)₃Cl₃-3H₂O at T=298.15 K has been derived as -(4267.3±2.3) kJ mol^-1. The thermal decomposition kinetics of the complex was studied by non-isothermal thermogravimetry in the temperature range of 325-675 K. Two main mass loss stages existed in the process of the decomposition of the complex, the kinetic parameters for the second stage were analyzed by means of differential and integral methods, respectively. Comparing the results of differential and integral methods, mechanism functions of the thermal decomposition reaction for its second stage were proposed. The kinetic equation can be expressed as: d/dt=Aexp(-E/RT)(1-)². The average values of the apparent activation energy E and pre-exponential factor A were 213.18 kJ mol^-1 and 2.51·10²⁰ s^-1, respectively.     

Standard enthalpy of formation of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid

The energy of combustion of crystalline 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid in oxygen at T=298.15 K was determined to be -4795.9±1.3 kJ mol^-1 using combustion calorimetry. The derived standard molar enthalpies of formation of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid in crystalline and gaseous states at T=298.15 K, Δ_fH_m ^Θ (cr) and Δ_fH_m ^Θ (g), were -852.9±1.9 and -721.7±2.0 kJ mol^-1, respectively. The reliability of the results obtained was commented upon and compared with literature values. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
