Direct Synthesis of Oxygenates from Water and Methane via Dielectric-barrier Discharge

In this investigation, a clean, atomic economic and direct synthesis of oxygenates (methanol, ethanol) form water and methane via dielectric-barrier discharge was developed at room temperature and under atmospheric pressure. The effect of discharge voltage on this process was studied. The results showed that the conversion of water can be as high as 7%, the selectivity of methanol and ethanol can be as high as 100%.

二卤二茂钛在水溶液中的水解化学

七十年代末,德国的H.Koepf和P.Koepf-Maier首次证明二氯二茂钛具有抗艾氏腹水癌(EAT)活性后,现在人们又发现了二茂钛衍生物,尤其是二茂钛卤化物对多种肿瘤都具有显著的抑制作用。可以说,二茂钛配合物是继顺铂后又一类型有效的有机金属抗癌剂。现有的研究表明,处量后的二茂钛晶胞中,胞内金属的分布和报导的铂配合物相     

19F- and 1H-NMR spectra of tetrafluoroethylene–propylene copolymers

High resolution 94-MHz ¹⁹F- and 100-MHz ¹H-NMR spectra were measured on a series of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE)-propylene (P) copolymers having a range of composition (TFE/P molar ratio = 37/63–55/45) and polymerized at different temperatures (?23, 25 and 65°C). The spectra were analyzed in relation to copolymer compositions. The assignment of ¹⁹F resonance in terms of tetrads proposed previously was confirmed, and the tentative assignment of ¹H resonances was proposed in terms of triads. The spectra thus interpreted revealed the sequence distribution of the copolymers. Copolymer compositions calculated from NMR spectra and elemental analysis agreed rather well with each other. Monomer reactivity ratios were calculated from the sequence distributions and compared with those obtained from the elemental analysis. It was observed that highly alternating copolymers are obtained in this system over a wide range of monomer composition at lower temperatures and that a deviation from alternancy increases slightly with rising polymerization temperature.     

catena‐Poly­[[tetra­aqua­iron(II)]‐μ‐succinato‐κ2O:O′]

The title complex, {[Fe(C₄H₄O₄)(H₂O)₄]}_n, is an infinite poly­meric compound bridged by the succinate dianion. Two carboxyl­ate groups coordinate in a monodentate manner to the Fe^II atom, in a trans fashion, with an O—Fe—O bond angle of 175.72 (6)° and Fe—O distances of 2.0886 (14) and 2.1008 (15) Å. One of the uncoordinated carboxyl­ate O atom forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond with a coordinated water mol­ecule. Extensive hydrogen bonding between parallel poly­meric complex chains results in a three‐dimensional supramolecular structure.     

Preparation of Diphenyl Oxalate from Transesterification of Dimethyl Oxalate with Phenol over TS—1 Catalyst

Diphenyl oxalate was synthesized from transesterification of dimethyl oxalate with phenol over TS-1(2.5 wt% Ti)catalyst.TS-1 catalyst,as a beterogeneous catalyst,showed excellent selectivity of diphenyl oxalate and methylphenyl oxalate compared with other homogeneous catalysts.Lewis acid sites on TS-1 catalyst were the active sites for transesterification of dimethyl oxalate with phenol.the high selectivity was closely related to the weak acid sites over TS-1.     

Binding of methyl orange and its homologs by polyion complexes consisting of a piperidinium cationic polymer and various polyanions in aqueous solution

A study was made of the formation of polyion complexes between a piperidinium cationic polymer and polyanions and of the binding of azo-dye anions (methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl orange) by these complexes. Sodium poly(acrylate), poly(styrenesulfonate), dextran sulfate, and carboxy-methylcellulose were used as polyanions. The resultant polyion complexes (insoluble in aqueous solutions) were compared for their ability to bind the small organic molecules in aqueous solutions, for example, of urea and an inorganic electrolyte (KCI), and exhibited a strong binding affinity toward these small anions. Polyion complexes that consisted of sodium poly(acrylate), dextran sulfate, and carboxymethylcellulose as polyanions cooperated in the binding, whereas the polyion complex of sodium poly(styrenesulfonate) did not. It was suggested that small organic anions interact with the polyion complexes primarily through electrostatic and hydrophobic forces.     

Temperature dependence on the binding of butyl orange by bovine serum albumin

The binding of 4′-dibutylaminoazobenzene-4-sulfonate anion (butyl orange) by bovine serum albumin has been examined quantitatively by an equilibrium dialysis method at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 35°C. The first binding constants and the thermodynamic parameters for the formation of the first dye anion-protein complex have been calculated. The peculiar temperature dependence of the first binding constant could be observed. That is, the value of the first binding constant increases with increasing temperature until it reaches a maximum value at approximately 18°C and then decreases with raising temperature. Accordingly, this binding process is exothermic above 18°C and is endothermic below 18°C. Near 18°C the process exhibits athermal reaction. From the thermodynamic data obtained, it is evident that the favorable free energy of the binding is accompanied by an entropy gain and that the enthalpies of the binding vary from a positive (unfavorable) value below 18°C to a negative (favorable) one above 18°C. Furthermore an apparent temperature dependence of the thermodynamic functions was observed. That is, ΔF° becomes larger in absolute magnitude as the temperature increases. The positive quantity of ΔS° tends to decrease with increasing temperature. All these facts can be interpreted satisfactorily in terms of hydrophobic interactions between hydrophobic portions of the dye and nonpolar parts of the albumin.
