Large-scale fabrication of aligned single-walled carbon nanotube array and hierarchical single-walled carbon nanotube assembly

Aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and hierarchical SWNT assembly were fabricated by electrospinning. The high fiber elongation and high DC electric field applied during the electrospinning process result in the orientation of the SWNTs along the axial direction of the fiber. The alignment of the electropsun composite fiber transfers this local SWNT orientation to macroscopically aligned SWNTs. After removing the polymer component from the aligned composite fiber, we produced large area aligned SWNTs. The results show that the directional control of SWNT alignment and debundling of SWNTs into individual tubes can be simultaneously realized.     

Utilization of hypervalent iodine in organic synthesis: A novel and facile two‐step protocol for the synthesis of new derivatives of 1H‐Imidazo[1,2‐b]pyrazole by the cyclocondensation involving α‐Tosyloxyacetophenones

A series of new 2‐aryl‐7‐cyano/ethoxycarbonyl‐6‐methylthio‐1H‐imidazo[1,2‐b]pyrazoles ( 5 ) have been synthesized in moderate to good yields, via a two‐step cyclocondensation procedure of 5‐amino‐4‐cyano/ethoxycarbonyl‐3‐methylthio‐1H‐pyrazole ( 1 ) and α‐bromoacetophenones ( 3 ) or α‐tosyloxyacetophenones ( 2 ), which were prepared by the reactions of acetophenones with [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene (HTIB). The intermediates, 5‐amino‐1‐(aroylmethyl)‐4‐ cyano/ethoxycarbonyl‐3‐methylthio‐1H‐pyrazoles ( 4 ), have been isolated, serving as evidence for the regioselectivity. When utilizing α‐tosyloxy‐acetophenones, the reactions were more eco‐friendly, the reaction time was significantly reduced and the synthetic procedure was more convenient and easier to manipulate. Surprisingly, using potassium carbonate to displace sodium carbonate in the synthesis of 4 , in the case of 1 (R? CN), two novel cyclocondensation products have been isolated and fully characterized, followed by the proposal of a plausible mechanism.     

Thermochemistry of rare earth complexes [Ln(Ala)2(Im)(H2O)](ClO4)3 (Ln=Pr, Gd)

The two complexes, [Ln(Ala)₂(Im)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₃ (Ln=Pr, Gd), were synthesized and characterized. Using a solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter, standard enthalpies of reaction of two reactions: LnCl₃⋅6H₂O(s)+2Ala(s)+Im(s)+3NaClO₄(s)=[Ln(Ala)₂(Im)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₃(s)+3NaCl(s)+5H₂O(l) (Ln=Pr, Gd), at T=298.15 K, were determined to be (39.26±0.10) and (5.33±0.12) kJ mol^–1 , respectively. Standard enthalpies of formation of the two complexes at T=298.15 K, Δ_fH^Θ_m {[Ln(Ala)₂(Im)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₃(s)} (Ln=Pr, Gd), were calculated as –(2424.2±3.3) and –(2443.4±3.3) kJ mol^–1 , respectively.     

Sn0.5Ti0.5O2催化剂上SO2、NO和CO反应的机理

Sn0.5Ti0.5O2催化剂对NO＋CO反应活性不高， 350 ℃时NO的转化率只有50％,但反应气中含有SO2时， NO的转化率接近100％,说明SO2对Sn0.5Ti0.5O2催化剂上的NO＋CO反应具有促进作用. XPS表征发现,SO2＋CO、SO2＋NO＋CO反应后催化剂表面有微量硫存在，而反应前没有检测到硫的存在.结合反应性能测定、瞬变应答实验、XRD、TPD研究等，发现催化剂上的表面硫参与了NO的催化还原反应，是NO＋CO反应更重要的活性中心.据此，提出了SO2＋NO＋CO反应的氧化还原反应机理.

The physicochemical properties of aqueous mixtures of cationic-anionic surfactants: I. The effect of chain length symmetry

The solution behaviors of equimolar mixtures of cationic-anionic surfactants have been studied by means of the dynamic light scattering technique and surface tension measurements. The surface activity and the micellization properties are different for systems of different hydrophobic chain length symmetry. For systems of lower symmetry (e.g., C₆H₁₃NC₅H₅Br-C₁₂H₂₅SO₄Na mixture), the surface tension at cmc (γ_cmc) is rather high (above 30 mN m⁻¹) and the mixtures form genuinely homogeneous micellar solutions above the cmc. For the systems of high symmetry (e.g., C₈H₁₇NC₅H₅Br-C₈H₁₇SO₄Na mixture), γ_cmc is very low (about 24 mN m⁻¹, near the value of pure hydrocarbon) and in the apparently homogeneous and clear mixtures slightly above cmc, the aggregates grow slowly and eventually form small droplets; as the concentration is further increased, all these solutions become turbid. We have proposed a new concept of conformation energy of aggregates to account for all these phenomena. Mixtures of octyltriethylammonium bromide and sodium octylsulfate form clear homogeneous micellar solutions in keeping with predictions based upon this concept.     

Patterned polyelectrolyte multilayer: surface modification for enhancing selective adsorption

This paper describes the use of surface chemical modification to enhance the difference of the surface charge on a patterned polyelectrolyte multilayer, which can be used for selectively adsorbing functional materials. We fabricated a patterned multilayer by combining the layer-by-layer self-assembly technique and photolithography and taking advantage of the different solubility of polyelectrolyte multilayers of diazo resins (DAR)/poly(acrylic acid) before and after UV irradiation. This patterned surface can be used as a matrix for selective adsorption of small molecular dyes, such as Methylene Blue. However the difference in surface charge on the patterned surface was not enough when we used it to selectively adsorb polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles using electrostatic force as the driving force. Therefore, we modified the patterned surface by interfacial chemistry. After modification, the patterned polyelectrolyte multilayer can be used as a good matrix for selective adsorption of PS nanoparticles with both positive and negative charges.

Assembly of azido- or cyano-bridged binuclear complexes containing the bulky [Mn(phen)2]2+ building block: syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetic properties

Two new cyano-bridged heterobinuclear complexes, [Mn(II)(phen)2Cl][Fe(III)(bpb)(CN)2] x 0.5CH3CH2OH x 1.5H2O (1) and [Mn(II)(phen)2Cl][Cr(III)(bpb)(CN)2] x 2H2O (2) [phen = 1,10-phenanthroline; bpb(2-) = 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)benzenate], and four novel azido-bridged Mn(II) dimeric complexes, [Mn2(phen)4(mu(1,1)-N3)2][M(III)(bpb)(CN)2]2 x H2O [M = Fe (3), Cr (4), Co (5)] and [Mn2(phen)4(mu(1,3)-N3)(N3)2]BPh4 x 0.5H2O (6), have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and magnetic studies. Complexes 1 and 2 comprise [Mn(phen)2Cl]+ and [M(bpb)(CN)2]- units connected by one cyano ligand of [M(bpb)(CN)2]-. Complexes 3-5 are doubly end-on (EO) azido-bridged Mn(II) binuclear complexes with two [M(bpb)(CN)2]- molecules acting as charge-compensating anions. However, the Mn(II) ions in complex 6 are linked by a single end-to-end (EE) azido bridging ligand with one large free BPh4(-) group as the charge-balancing anion. The magnetic coupling between Mn(II) and Fe(III) or Cr(III) in complexes 1 and 2 was found to be antiferromagnetic with J(MnFe) = -2.68(3) cm(-1) and J(MnCr) = -4.55(1) cm(-1) on the basis of the Hamiltonian H = -JS(Mn)S(M) (M = Fe or Cr). The magnetic interactions between two Mn(II) ions in 3-5 are ferromagnetic in nature with the magnetic coupling constants of 1.15(3), 1.05(2), and 1.27(2) cm(-1) (H = -JS(Mn1)S(Mn2)), respectively. The single EE azido-bridged dimeric complex 6 manifests antiferromagnetic interaction with J = -2.29(4) cm(-1) (H = -JS(Mn1)S(Mn2)). Magneto-structural correlationship on the EO azido-bridged Mn(II) dimers has been investigated.
