Evolution of self-diffusion and local structure in some amines over a wide temperature range at high pressures: a molecular dynamics simulation study

Self-diffusion and structural properties of ammonia, methylamine and trimethylamine have been studied by molecular dynamics simulation in the temperature range between the melting pressure curve and 700 K at pressures up to 400 MPa. The calculation results agree well with the experiment, which suggests that one can use the simulation method as a powerful tool to obtain self-diffusion coefficients over wide range of temperatures and pressures, under which it is rather difficult for experiments. The local structures of such fluids are investigated by calculating radial distribution functions (RDFs), the numbers of hydrogen bonds and coordination numbers. The correlation between self-diffusion and structural properties, and the influence of temperature and pressure on them are discussed. The simulation results demonstrate that the temperature effects are more pronounced than the pressure effects on self-diffusion and structural properties, and the effect of hydrogen bonding on the translational dynamics in any of these systems is a minor factor, while it is mainly affected by the close packing of amine molecules.     

Crystal structures and thermal decomposition kinetics of lanthanide complexes with 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

A series of lanthanide complexes with the 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid(3,4,5-tmoba) and 1,10-phenanthroline(phen),[Ln(3,4,5-tmoba) 3 phen] 2(Ln = Pr(1),Nd(2) and Ho(3)),have been synthesized and characterized by a series of techniques including elemental analysis,IR spectra,X-ray crystallography and TG/DSC-FTIR technology.The three complexes have two kinds of coordination modes,in which the Pr 3+ and Nd 3+ cations are nine-coordinated and the Ho 3+ cation is eight-coordinated.The three-dimensional IR accumulation spectra of gaseous products for complexes 1-3 were analyzed and the gaseous products were identified by the typical IR spectra obtained from the 3D surface graphs.Meanwhile,we obtained the activation energy E of the first steps of complexes 1-3 by the integral isoconversional non-linear(NL-INT) method and discussed the non-isothermal kinetics of complexes 1-3 using the Malek method.Finally,SB(m,n) was defined as the kinetic method of the first-step thermal decomposition.The thermodynamic parameters △G≠,△H≠ and △S≠ of activation at the peak temperature were also calculated.     

Applications of Raman-based techniques to on-site and in-vivo analysis

Raman-based technologies have proved to be excellent tools for on-site and in-vivo analysis, due to the non-invasive nature of their detection, their capability of providing structure information, their high tolerance to aqueous samples, the ultra-sensitivity of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and resonance Raman scattering (RRS), the high spatial resolution of tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS), and the ultrashort spectra-acquisition time for coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS).In this review, we highlight the recent success of Raman-based technologies in various applications, including:

• (1) 

  on-site surface analysis and chemical-reaction monitoring;

• (2) 

  on-site identification of cultural objects, archeological studies and planetary science;

• (3) 

  in-vivo analysis of cells and microorganisms;

• (4) 

  in-vivo diagnosis inside human and animal bodies;

• (5) 

  in-vivo fast Raman imaging and mapping;

• (6) 

  the study of SERS processes; and,

• (7) 

  assessment of nanomaterial safety.

     

镁铝复合氧化物负载铜催化剂上甘油选择性氢解合成丙二醇

我们通过乙醇溶液浸渍法合成出了具有高分散度金属Cu 的Cu/MgO-Al₂O₃ (Mg/Al 原子比=1/1, 3/1, 4/1)、Cu/MgO 和Cu/Al₂O₃ 等催化剂. 在200℃, 6.0 MPa H₂ 和二氧六环溶剂中, 这些催化剂高选择性地将甘油氢解为1,2-丙二醇(选择性>90%), 而单位表面Cu 原子的甘油转化速率则随催化剂表面碱中心与Cu 原子比例的提高而增大. N₂O 化学吸附-H₂ 程序升温还原实验表明Cu 粒子的本征氢解能力不随其负载量以及载体中的Mg/Al 原子比发生明显改变, 加之碱性MgO-Al₂O₃ 载体本身不催化甘油的转化, 我们推测在甘油氢解反应中金属Cu 粒子与载体界面处的碱中心辅助Cu 粒子活化甘油分子的α 位C-H键, 从而加速甘油脱氢为甘油醛步骤以及甘油氢解反应的进行. CO₂程序升温脱附实验以及对甘油氢解反应中Cu/MgO-Al₂O₃ 催化剂稳定性的考察结果暗示在甘油氢解反应中起主要作用的碱中心是载体表面上与Mg²⁺键连的羟基基团(即B 碱OH^-). 这些对甘油氢解反应中金属中心与碱性中心协同作用的认识对进一步理性设计高效的甘油或其它多元醇分子氢解催化剂具有重要指导意义.

Urea-based polyacetylenes as an optical sensor for fluoride ions

Novel acetylenes carrying urea groups, 1-(4-ethynylphenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl) urea (1), 1-(4-propargyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl) urea (2), were synthesized and polymerized with rhodium catalyst. Polymers [poly(1) and poly(2)] with moderate molecular weights were obtained in good yields. The anion sensing ability of poly(1) and poly(2) was estimated using the tetra-n-butylammonium (TBA) salts of a series of anions in DMF. Upon the addition of F-, the color of the DMF solution of poly(1) and poly(2) immediately turned to a different color, while the color of solution changed slightly upon addition of Cl-, HSO4-, Br-, and NO3-, indicating the F- sensing ability of poly(1) and poly(2). The 1H-NMR titrations of poly(1) revealed that the colorimetric response of poly(1) was triggered by the urea/F- interaction through the hydrogen bonding and/or deprotonation process. The absorption spectra titration and Hill plot analysis were carried out to measure the F- binding ability, and the Hill coefficient in the poly(1)/F- complexation was found to be 5.8. This result clearly indicated that this binding mode between poly(1) and F- was based on a positive homotropic allosterism.
