锗纳米管催化的氧还原反应:催化性能和机理研究

应用密度泛函理论,在DZP基组水平上研究了（5,5）型锗纳米管催化的氧还原反应（ORR）的性能以及可能的催化机理.计算结果表明,ORR在锗纳米管上可能经历O₂解离、OOH解离、H₂O₂解离三种可能机理.无论是对哪种机理,整个ORR均遵循四电子反应路径.评估ORR性能的重要中间产物O和OH的吸附能分别为-4.33 eV和-2.21 eV,这与它们在贵金属铂（Pt）上的吸附能非常接近.此外,在GeNT上,整个ORR过程中最后一步生成的H₂O分子的吸附能仅仅为-0.05 eV,比O₂分子的吸附能弱得多,意味着整个ORR催化循环在GeNT上可以顺利更替.因此,联合ORR的反应能量数据和中间产物的吸附数据,可以认为（5,5）型锗纳米管具有类Pt的催化性能.溶剂效应计算结果表明,一些反应中间产物的吸附结构,如O中间体会在很大程度上受到溶剂效应的影响.对所研究的锗纳米管来说,溶剂效应可以促进其催化的ORR进程.     

十二钼磷酸及其盐在氢气中热分解过程的研究

本文以气相色谱为主要手段,配合红外光谱、X—射线粉末衍射分析及电子顺磁共振技术,研究了十二钼磷酸及其盐在氢气中的还原热稳定性。从对上述化合物在氢气中热解过程的气相产物和各中间固相产物的分析可知,在实验的温度范围内(40～640℃),这些化合物的热分解过程通常分为三或四个阶段。实验发现,Keggin阴离子热解以及Mo~(6 )被还原的难易程度,取决于与Keggin阴离子结合的阳离子的种类。在同一实验条件下,如果阳离子本身难以还原,那么,Keggin阴离子的破坏以及Keggin阴离子中Mo~(6 )还原为金属相的过程,都将变得困难。     

Synthesis,Structures, and Near‐IR Absorption of Heterole‐Fused Earring Porphyrins

A reaction sequence of regioselective peripheral bromination, Suzuki–Miyaura coupling with 2‐borylated thiophene or pyrrole, and oxidative ring‐closure with FeCl₃ allowed the synthesis of heterole‐fused earring porphyrins 4Pd and 9Pd from the parent earring porphyrin 1 . Differently pyrrole‐fused porphyrins 5H and 6H and their Pd^II complexes 5Pd and 6Pd were also synthesized. The structures of 4Pd , 5H, 6Pd , and 8Pd have been revealed by X‐ray analysis to be slightly twisted owing to constraints imposed by heterole‐fused structures. 5Pd exhibits an intensified band at 1505 nm, while 4Pd and 9Pd display small but remarkably red‐shifted absorption bands reaching around 2200 nm.     

Tetra‐proline‐modified calix[4]arene‐bonded silica stationary phase for simultaneous reversed‐phase/hydrophilic interaction mixed‐mode chromatography

A new water‐soluble tetra‐proline‐modified calix[4]arene‐bonded silica stationary phase was prepared straightforwardly by an indirect method and characterized by elemental analysis, energy dispersive Spectrometry, solid‐state ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Due to the simultaneous introduction of polar tetra‐proline and nonpolar calix[4]arene, the developed column possessing a double retention mode of reverse‐phase liquid chromatography and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography. A series of hydrophobic and hydrophilic test samples, including nucleosides and nucleotides, amines, monosubstituted benzenes, chiral compounds, and phenols, were used to evaluate the developed stationary phase. A rapid separation capability, high separation efficiency, and selectivity were achieved based on the multiple interactions between solutes and tetra‐proline‐modified calix[4]arene‐bonded silica stationary phase. Moreover, the developed stationary phase was further used to detect and separate hexamethylenetetramine in rice flour. All the results indicated the potential merits of the developed stationary phase for simultaneous separation of complex hydrophobic and hydrophilic samples with high selectivity.     

Solid acids assisted matrix solid‐phase dispersion microextraction of alkaloids by capillary electrophoresis coupled with quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry

The quantification of three alkaloids is important because quantitative study is a means of assessing the reliability of the experimental method, and three alkaloids of peimine, peiminine, and peimisine are main active ingredients in Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2015. An effective method based on the matrix solid‐phase dispersion microextraction was developed for the extraction of alkaloid compounds in Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus. Target analytes were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis coupled with quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry. The optimized experimental condition was that 50 mg Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus was blended homogeneously with 10 mg citric acid for 5 min. Two hundred microliters of water acidized by 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid (pH = 4.5) was selected to elute tested alkaloids. The results demonstrated that the investigated method had low limits of detection (1.32–1.59 ng/mL), good recoveries (86.63–98.12%), and reproducibility (relative standard deviations of peak areas < 0.87%). The proposed matrix solid‐phase dispersion microextraction coupled with capillary electrophoresis combined with quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry was successfully applied for the extraction of alkaloids in plants.     

Solvo‐thermal Preparation of One Novel Cadmium(II) Coordination Polymer with 1‐(4‐Aminobenzyl)‐1,2,4‐Triazole and Bi‐functional Photo‐Luminescent Sensing for Acetone and Dichromate

In this work a 1,2,4‐triazole derivative 1‐(4‐aminobenzyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole (abtz) was utilized, one new cadmium(II) coordination polymer, namely [Cd(abtz)I₂]_n ( 1 ) was prepared through the powerful solvo‐thermal synthetic strategy. In compound 1 , the abtz building blocks are interlinked through the central Cd^II ions forming the two‐dimensional (2D) layer coordination framework. Powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD) characterization also reveals that we have prepared the pure phases of coordination polymer 1 . Optical properties have been determined, which can behave the excellent photo‐luminescent emission of coordination polymer 1 . Photo‐luminescent experiment also reveals that coordination polymer 1 can behave the highly sensitive detection for acetone molecules with high K_sv value (K_sv = 4.12 ×10⁴ L · mol^–1) in the recyclable detection fashion. Additionally, coordination polymer 1 also can behave the highly sensitive detection for pollutant dichromate with excellent quenching efficiency K_sv (K_sv = 2.12 × 10⁴ L · mol^–1) and low detection limit [38 × 10^–3 mM (S/N = 3)]. UV/Vis, photo‐luminescent lifetime, and PXRD patterns also have been determined to analyze the detection mechanism.     

Synergistic improvement of fire retardancy and mechanical properties of ferrocene‐based polymer in intumescent polypropylene composite

The ferrocene‐based polymer (PDPFDE) accompanied with traditional intumescent flame retardant (IFR) system (ammonium polyphosphate (APP)/pentaerythritol (PER) = 3/1, mass ratio) has been used as additive flame retardant in polypropylene (PP), aiming to lower the total loading amount. The thermal stability and fire retardant properties were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical combustion (UL‐94), and cone calorimetry (CONE). The fire retardant mechanism was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that the PP1 with 25 wt% IFR only passed the UL‐94 V‐1 rating, but the PP6 loaded by 0.5 wt% PDPFDE and 22.5 wt% IFR possessed an LOI value of 28.5% and passed the UL‐94 V‐0 rating; the peak heat release rate (pHRR) and total heat release (THR) are decreased by 63% and 43%, respectively, compared with pure PP. In addition, the char residue of PP6 manifested a very compact and smooth surface, indicating a more effective barrier layer. Meanwhile, it was interesting that the addition of PDPFDE evidently improved the impact strength and elongation at break of PP/IFR composites.
