Determination of vibrational level spacings of van der waals molecules from the Lennard-Jones potential

An approximate expression for the eigenvalues for van der Waals molecules by use of the Lennard-Jones (12-6) potential in the WKB approximation is presented. The expression is applied to the rare gas molecules. Ar₂, Kr₂, and Xe₂ by fitting the potential function to the observed potential parameters. Calculated results of vibrational energy spacings for these molecules agree well with the experiment and other calculations which are based on numerical integration of the Schrödinger equation. For Xe₂, the energy spacing expression is used to determine the thermodynamic functions of the van der Waals bond.

Circularly Polarized Absorption Property of Tetra-4[4''''-(2-methylbutoxy)benzoyloxy]phenyl Porphyrin by Introducing Optical Pendant Groups

Circularly polarized luminescent(CPL) materials possess special dissymmetric optical property, i.e. luminescent light having different intensities for left (L) and right(R) circularly polarized components. Recently, these materials have been applied in colour-image projection, stereoscopic displays and light-emitting diodes(LEDS)1-7. We have synthesized a new porphyrin derivative, tetra-4[4'-(2-methylbutoxy)benzoyloxy] phenyl porphyrin [T(MBBP)P], by introducing a chiral group, which p…

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.     

CH2(COO)2Cu·2H2O热分解的非等温动力学研究

The thermal dehydration and decomposition kinetics of CH₂(COO)₂Cu·2H₂O were investigated using the non-isothermal method by thermogravimetry (TG) technique in N₂. The iterative iso-conversional methods were applied to calculate the activation energy E_a of dehydration and decomposition， and the most probable mechanism function G(α) was determined by means of the master plots method. The pre-exponential factor A was obtained on the basis of E_a and G(α). Kinetic parameters (E_a and lnA) of dehydration were given as: E_a=139.79 kJ·mol^-1， ln(A/s^-1)=47.38. The mechanism function of the dehydration was G(α)=[-ln(1-α)]^2/3， and the decomposition of CH₂(COO)₂Cu proceeds to completion by two distinct reactions. These two reactions overlap in the transition process (0.45<α<0.65). Kinetic parameters (E_a and lnA )of the first reaction of decomposition were: E_a=201.15 kJ·mol^-1， ln(A/s^-1)=52.29， and the mechanism function was G(α)=[1-α]^-0.37. And in the second reaction G(α)=α+(1-α)ln(1-α)， E_a=156.74 kJ·mol^-1， ln(A/s^-1)=39.58.

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.
