MoCo/Y, MoNi/Y氮化物催化剂的结构和CH4+CO2重整反应性能

采用氨气还原法制备了NaY分子筛负载的MoCo/Y、MoNi／Y双组氮化物催化剂，用XRD和EXAFS方法征了样品的结构，并测定了其在CH4＋CO2重整反应中的活性，在氧化态时，MoCo/Y样品中主要存在CoMoO4和Co3O4两种物相，Mo的配位状态接近于CoMoO4，而Co的配位状态更接近于Co3O4，MoNi／Y样品中主要有NiMoO4和NiO两种物相，Mo的配位状态接近于MiMoO4，而Ni的配位状态可能是NiMoO4和NiO两种化合物中Ni配位状态的平均效果，Ni-Mo之间的朴素作用似乎比Co-Mo相对较强，在氮化态时，两种样品中Mo的配位状态较为相似，但即不同于MoO3，也不同于单组分γ－Mo2N.Co和Ni的配位状态都不同于各在氧化态下的状态，且都在相同的位置出现一个新强峰，这似乎表明MoCo和MoNi生成了结构相似的氮化物，在CH4＋CO2重整反应中，氮化态MoCO/Y和MoNi/Y的活性大大超过非负载单组分γ－Mo2N催化剂，其中MoNi/Y的活性相对更好一些，且活性随Ni含量增加而提高。

Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLC) for Biologically Active Green Tea and Fennel Natural Oils Delivery: Larvicidal and Adulticidal Activities against Culex pipiens

(1) Background: The control of mosquitoes with essential oils is a growing demand. (2) Methods: This study evaluated the novel larvicidal and adulticidal activity of fennel and green tea oils and their nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) against Culex pipiens (C. pipiens) in the laboratory, field conditions and evaluated their effect against non-target organisms. SLN type II nanoformulations were synthesized and characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential and transmission electron microscope. (3) Results: The synthesized NLCs showed spherical shaped, homogenous, narrow, and monomodal particle size distribution. The mortality percent (MO%) post-treatment (PT) with 2000 ppm for 24 h with fennel oil and NLC fennel (NLC-F) reached 85% (LC₅₀ = 643.81 ppm) and 100% (LC₅₀ = 251.71), whereas MO% for green tea oil and NLC green tea (NLC-GT) were 80% (LC₅₀ = 746.52 ppm) and 100% (LC₅₀ = 278.63 ppm), respectively. Field trial data showed that the larval reduction percent of fennel oil and NLC-F reached 89.8% and 97.4%, 24 h PT and the reduction percent of green tea oil and NLC-GT reached 89% and 93%, 24 h PT with persistence reached 8 and 7 days, for NLC-F and NLC-GT, respectively. The adulticidal effects showed that NLC-F and NLC-GT (100% mortality) were more effective than fennel and green tea oils (90.0% and 83.33%), with 24 h PT, respectively. Moreover, their reduction of adult density after spraying with LC₉₅ X2 for 15 min, with fennel oil, NLC-F, and green tea oil, NLC-GT were 83.6%, 100%, 79.1%, and 100%, respectively, with persistence (>50%) lasting for three days. The predation rate of the mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis, and the bug, Sphaerodema urinator, was not affected in both oil and its NLC, while the predation rate of the beetle, Cybister tripunctatus increased (66% and 68.3%) by green tea oil and NLC-GT, respectively. (4) Conclusions: NLCs nanoformulation encapsulated essential oils was prepared successfully with unique properties of size, morphology, and stability. In vitro larvicidal and adulticidal effects against C. pipiens supported with field evaluations have been performed using essential oils and their nanoformulations. The biological evaluation of nanoformulations manifested potential results toward both larvicidal and adulticidal compared to the essential oils themselves, especially NLC encapsulated fennel oil which had promising larvicidal and adulticidal activity.     

Synthesis, structural, spectroscopic characterization, and structural comparison of 3-hydroxybenzoate and nicotinamide/N,N-diethylnicotinamide mixed ligand complexes with Zn(II)

The mixed-ligand 3-hydroxybenzoic acid complex of Zn(II) with nicotinamide and N,N-diethylnicotinamide were synthesized and characterized (colorless single crystals, [Zn(3-hba)₂(H₂O)₂(na)₂] and [Zn(3-hba)₂(H₂O)₂(dena)₂]). The chemical, FT-IR, thermal, mass spectral analyses, and X-ray data results revealed that both of the compounds contain two water molecules, two 3-hydroxybenzoate (3-hba) and two nicotinamide (na) or two N,N-diethylnicotinamide (dena) ligands per formula unit. 3-hba and na or dena ligands bind to the Zn(II) ion monodentately through their acidic oxygen and pyridinic nitrogen atoms, respectively. The coordination of metal atoms are completed by two molecules of aqua ligands. The charge balance of complexes is accommodated by two molecules of 3-hba ions. The unit cell has two molecules coordination molecules and each of them was as settled to four surfaces of unit cell cage in na complex. There is one mole molecule that was occupied to center of unit cell cage in dena complex. The two dimensional network structure of the complex is like a hexagonal for na and square plane for dena complexes. The thermal decomposition takes place in three steps; first, dehydration of the two aqua ligands, second, elimination of the two nicotinamide ligands, finally, burning of the two benzoate ion ligands.     

Vortex lattice of a Bose-Einstein condensate as a photonic band gap material

Photonic crystal behavior of a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate with a triangular vortex lattice is reviewed and a scheme for getting much wider band gaps is proposed. It is shown that photonic band gaps can be widened an order of magnitude more by using a Raman scheme of index enhancement, in comparison to previously considered upper level microwave scheme.     

Bis[N-(isonitrosoacetophenone)-N′-benzoylhydrazonato-k<Superscript>3</Superscript>O,N,N′]nickel(II) dimethylformamide disolvate hemihydrate: Synthesis,crystal structure,and spectroscopic and electronic properties

In the title complex, [Ni(C₃₀H₂₄N₆O₄)]₂ · 4C₃H₇NO · H₂O (I), the Ni(II) atoms are six-coordinated by two N atoms and one O atom of each of the two tridendate benzoylhydrazone ligands, leading to a distorted octahedral geometry. In the environment of Ni(II) atoms, the equatorial planes are approximately perpendicular. The structure is stabilized by O-H...O, O-H...N, and C-H...O intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding, resulting in the formation of infinite chains running along the x axis of the triclinic cell. The structure of the compound was characterized by IR and UV spectra, elemental analyses, and X-ray diffraction techniques.     

SU(2) instantons with boundary jumps and spin tunneling in magnetic molecules

Coherent state path integrals are shown in general to contain instantons with jumps at the boundaries, i.e., boundary points lying outside classical phase space. Inclusion of these instantons is shown to resolve the "missing quench paradox" in the magnetic molecule Fe8, i.e., the fact that the tunneling between the ground Zeeman states of this molecule is quenched at only four magnetic field values, instead of the ten that would be expected from the topological Berry phase between interfering instantons. An approximate formula is found for the location of the four remaining quenches.     

Kinematic Analysis of Robotic Bevel-Gear Trains: An Application of Network Model Approach

The network model approach for rigid and multi-rigid body systems developed recently [1,2] can also be used conveniently in formulating system equations or equations of motion of three-dimensional mechanical systems of interconnected rigid bodies. In this article, this method is further elaborated for establishing only the kinematics of spatial robotic bevel-gear trains. However the dynamic analysis of such systems using the same method is also possible and will be taken up in a future publication.     

Excitation of the T> components of the giant dipole states in N > Z nuclei by muon capture

Muon capture on N > Z nuclei is proposed as a means of studying the T_> isospin component of giant dipole states. Calculations for nickel isotopes (except ⁵⁶Ni) indicate that these states are strongly excited by muon capture. Possible experiments to detect these states are discussed.     

Upper and lower bounds and the generalized variation-perturbation approach of many-electron theory

The theory of upper and lower bounds is used in conjunction with the “varied-portions approach” (VPA ) of the “many-electron theory of atoms and molecules” (MET ). Upper and lower bounds equations are derived. It is recognized that if a very natural portion of the full variational expression is made stationary, according to (VPA ), a for of Löwdin's lower bound wave equation results. By using the bracketing theorem it is also possible to give lower bounds to the quantities arising from the (VPA ) of (MET ). This will be useful to study in the future the (MET ) pair correlations and to supplement the computational methods currently available with lower bound estimates as well.
