A facile approach to surface graft vinyl acetate onto polyolefin articles

A facile and environment friendly approach was developed to graft vinyl acetate (VAc) onto plastic articles in an aqueous solution using tert‐butyl alcohol (TBA) as a compatiblizer and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator. In a novel setup, excessive monomer suspended in a water phase, VAc could be conveniently grafted on the model substrate of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) film and the graft percentage (GP) could be developed up to 7.3%. Reaction temperature could increase GP significantly, while adding monomer over a critical volume did not influence GP. By adding some paradioxybenzene, i.e. 0.06–0.08% in VAc phase, homopolymer PVAc could be avoided practically, while graft polymerization proceeded favorably in aqueous solutions. It was proved by attenuated total reflection‐infrared (ATR‐IR) spectroscopy that grafted VAc was located mainly at the surface of the LDPE film and hydrophilic nature of both grafted and alcoholyzed films were improved via contact angle measurements.

基于双波测量的催化动力学极诸法测定钒

在 ｐＨ ４．５ ＨＡｃ－ＮａＡｃ缓冲溶液中，钍试剂分别于－ ０．３６ Ｖ、－ ０．６０ Ｖ产生两个灵敏的极谱波。基于钒对溴酸钾氧化钍试剂的催化作用，建立了双极谱波测量的催化动力学极谱法。钒浓度在０．７～１５μｇ／Ｌ与△Ｉ（△Ｉ１＋ Ｉ２）呈线性关系，检测限为０．５μｇ／Ｌ。研究了极谱波性质及电极反应机理。本法简便、灵敏、准确，已用于直接测定水中痕量钒。     

由NO分子从头计算结果和紫外光电子能谱确定NO的分子结构

对于NO分子轨道的能级次序现有两种不同的说法,不少人根据NO与O_2~+是等电子体,由O_2~+分子的能级次序确定NO分子组态。本文用NO和O_2~(+)从头计算结果以及NO的紫外光电子能谱相结合的方法说明NO的5σ轨道是弱成键轨道,5σ的轨道能稍高于1π轨道能,也就是说NO的能级次序是与N_2分子相同的;NO与O_2~+虽是等电子体,但是能级次序并不相同,因此由O_2~+的能级次序确定NO分子的电子组态是不妥的。

Oxidation of Styrene with Molecular Oxygen in Supercritical CO2

The oxidation of styrene with molecular oxygen catalyzed by PdCl2 CuCl2 has been investigated in supercritical CO2 with a batch reactor. The oxidative system of styrene contains four components at the beginning and seven components during the reaction. The critical temperature, critical pressure, and critical density at different conversions are determined by using a high-pressure view cell. The effect of phase behavior on the conversion and selectivity were studied. Experimental results showed that the critical parameters of the reaction mixture at fixed initial molar ratio changed with the conversion of reactant. The conversion of styrene reached maximum near the critical density of the reaction mixture. Product selectivity also varied with density of reaction mixture and could be tuned to some degree.     

A SAPO-11 Silicoaluminophosphate Molecular Sieve with Stable Crystal Structure

A SAPO-11 silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve with stable crystal structure was synthesized for the first time. After removing template by calcination, its crystal space group still retains Icm2 which the as-synthesized has. The catalyst deriving from the present SAPO-I 1 materials shows higher isomerization selectivity and higher paraffin hydroisomerization yield than those reported elsewhere.     

Parallel transformations of cyclohexene mediated by the Cp*W(NO) fragment

Hydrogenolysis of Cp*W(NO)(CH2CMe3)2 at room temperature in cyclohexene results in the formation of the intermediate 16e organometallic complex, [Cp*W(NO)(eta2-cyclohexene)]. This intermediate leads to three parallel transformations of cyclohexene, namely (a) C-H activation of cyclohexene to form an eta3-cyclohexenyl hydrido complex, (b) combination of cyclohexene and H2 to form a cyclohexyl hydrido complex, and (c) coupling of two molecules of cyclohexene with concomitant loss of two hydrogen atoms to form a complex containing a novel eta1,eta3-(cyclohexyl)cyclohexenyl ligand. Single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses of products resulting from transformations (b) and (c) have been effected.
