Catalytic activity of palladium-containing zeolites in the complete oxidation of benzene

The dependence of palladium distribution in zeolites on the temperature of thermal treatment has been established from the data on oxygen chemisorption and the statistical processing of electron micrographs. The influence of palladium distribution in zeolites on their catalytic activity towards the complete oxidation of benzene has been shown.

透射电镜薄样品倾转过程中的附加旋转及其计算

模拟透射电镜双倾台进行样品位向调整过程,推导出反映样品倾转前后其合成倾转轴(即共有菊池线对的法线)方向变化规律的计算公式,称为附加旋转角计算公式。指出,实现样品位向调整的双倾操作,等效于样品绕其合成倾转轴的倾转及该倾转轴绕Z轴(平行入射束方向)的旋转之和。利用双倾台对薄膜样品进行的系列倾转实验表明,由附加旋转角公式计算的附加旋转角和实测值相一致。还根据双倾操作过程导出了合成倾转角的计算公式,它可用于判断样品位向调整的准确度。     

Determination of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone in human serum by high-performance liquid chromatography

Summary A simple method is described which allows the quantification of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) in human serum. NVP is extracted from serum with diethylether and determined with HPLC/UV-detection. 1-Cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone serves as an internal standard. The detection limit is 0.1 mg/l. The method has shown that NVP can enter the organisms of workers occupationally exposed to this substance.     

Viscometry in the study of molecular complexes

Viscometric method has been used to study the interaction between the weak interacting systems such as benzene-CCl₄-cyclohexane, toluene-CCl₄-cyclohexane ando- xylene-CCl₄-cyclohexane. The equilibrium constants and other thermodynamic parameters have been reported and compared with literature data.     

Preparation and optical properties of Eu(III) complexes J-aggregate formed on the surface of silver nanoparticles

Ag colloidal nanoparticles coated with Eu(TTA)₃ · 2H₂O complexes were prepared, and it was found that Eu(TTA)₃ · 2H₂O complexes J-aggregate was formed on the surface of Ag nanoparticles according to a red shift (18.2 nm) in UV–Vis spectra. However, there had similar excitation wavelength, which was attributed to existence of Ag nanoparticles. Highly luminescent properties of Ag colloidal nanoparticles were observed, and it was believed to result from low energy transfer between Eu(III) complexes and Ag and the large electromagnetic field arising from the excitation of surface plasmon polariton of Ag nanoparticles.     

Selective dimerization of α-methylstyrene catalyzed by a solid acid

A novel solid acid prepared from concentrated sulfuric, boric and phosphoric acid is a highly selective catalyst for the dimerization of α-methylstyrene at room temperature to generate 4-methyl-2,4-diphenyl-1-pentene.
