Acceleration of the Passerini reaction in the presence of nucleophilic additives

An accelerating effect of nucleophilic additives was revealed for the Passerini multi-component reaction. The influence of aqueous solutions on the reaction rate was studied in detail and the direct involvement of water in the bond-making step was attributed as the basis of an accelerating effect. Other nucleophiles were tested as alternatives to water; as a result N-hydroxysuccinimide is proposed as an accelerant of the Passerini reaction.

The Effects of M2O3 on Stabilizing Monocopper over the Surface of Cu-ZnO-M2O3 Catalysts for Mathanol Synthesis

The effects of M₃O₃ (M = Al, Sc etc.) in Cu-ZnO-M₂O₃ catalysts on methanol synthesis at low pressure were studied with ESR, XPS and TPR spectroscopy. The results of ESR showed that the generation of monovalent cationic defects was because the valence state and electronic charge on the ZnO lattice lost their balance as M³⁺ doped into ZnO. The induced effect by Sc³⁺ is stronger than that by Al³⁺. The results of XPS and TPR indicated that the amount and stabilization of Cu⁺ on the surface of reduced copper-based catalyst and its catalytic activity were affected by the monovalent cationic defects on the surface of ZnO.     

Orbital-band interactions and the reactivity of molecules on oxide surfaces: from explanations to predictions

 The surface chemistry of oxides is relevant for many technological applications: catalysis, photoelectrolysis, electronic-device fabrication, prevention of corrosion, sensor development, etc. This article reviews recent theoretical works that deal with the surface chemistry of oxides. The account begins with a discussion of results for the adsorption of CO and NO on oxides, systems which have been extensively studied in the literature and constitute an ideal benchmark for testing the quality of different levels of theory. Then, systematic studies concerned with the behavior of adsorbied alkali metals and sulfur-containing molecules are presented. Finally, a correlation between the electronic and chemical properties of mixed-metal oxides is analyzed and basic principles for designing chemically active oxides are introduced. Advances in theoretical methods and computer capabilities have made possible a fundamental understanding of many phenomena associated with the chemistry of molecules on oxide surfaces. Still many problems in this area remain as a challenge, and the approximate nature of most theoretical methods makes necessary a close coupling between theory and experiment. Following this multidisciplinary approach, the importance of band-orbital interactions for the reactivity of oxide surfaces has become clear. Simple models based on band-orbital mixing can explain trends found for the interaction of many adsorbates with oxide surfaces. These simple models provide a conceptual framework for modifying or controlling the chemical activity of pure oxides and for engineering mixed-metal oxides. In this respect, theoretical calculations can be very useful for predicting the best ways for enhancing the reactivity of oxide systems and reducing the waste of time, energy and materials characteristic of an empirical design.

Zwitterionic titanoxanes {Cp[η-C5H4B(C6F5)3]Ti}2O and {(η-PrC5H4)[η-1,3-PrC5H3B(C6F5)3]Ti}2O as catalysts for cationic ring-opening polymerization

Zwitterionic titanoxanes {Cp[η⁵-C₅H₄B(C₆F₅)₃]Ti}₂O (I) and {(η⁵-ⁱPrC₅H₄)[η⁵-1,3-ⁱPrC₅H₃B(C₆F₅)₃]Ti}₂O (II), which contain two positively charged Ti(IV) centres in the molecule, are able to catalyse the ring-opening polymerization of -caprolactone (-CL) in toluene solution and in bulk. The process proceeds with a noticeable rate even at room temperature and accelerates strongly on raising the temperature to 60 °C. The best results have been obtained on carrying out the reaction in bulk. Under these conditions, the use of I as a catalyst (-CL:I = 1000:1) gives at 60 °C close to quantitative yield of poly--CL with the molecular mass of 197 000. An increase in the -CL:I ratio to 6000:1 increases the molecular mass of poly--CL to 530 000. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is also polymerized under the action of I albeit with a lesser rate. However, the molecular mass of the resulting poly-THF can reach rather big values under optimal conditions (up to 217 000 at 20 °C and the THF:I ratio of 770:1). A rise in the reaction temperature from 20 to 60 °C results here to a decrease in the efficiency of the process. Titanoxane II is close to I in its catalytic activity in the -CL polymerization but it is much less active in the polymerization of THF. Propylene oxide (PO), in contrast to -CL and THF, gives with I only liquid oligomers in wide temperature and PO:I molar ratio ranges (−30 to +20 °C, PO:I = 500–2000:1). γ-Butyrolactone and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone are not polymerized under the action of I at room temperature. The reactions found are the first examples of catalysis of the cationic ring-opening polymerization by zwitterionic metallocenes of the group IVB metals.

Polyaniline-coated silica gel

Silica gel microspheres 7 and 15 μm in diameter were coated with an overlayer of polyaniline camphorsulfonate or hydrochloride during the oxidative polymerization of aniline. Coated silica gel and polyaniline precipitate were separated using a difference in sedimentation rate. In an alternative approach, the microspheres were modified with polyaniline in the presence of 35 nm colloidal silica. This technique prevented the macroscopic precipitation of polyaniline. Coatings of neat, 3-aminopropyl- and octadecyl-modified silica gel with polyaniline hydrochloride were compared. The surface composition of coated microspheres was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Potential applications of particles in electrorheology, organic catalysis, and in modeling of conductivity behavior in composites are demonstrated.
