CO-laser photoacoustic detection of phosgene (COCl2)

Detection of COCl₂, a highly toxic gas in chemical industry, using laser photoacoustic spectroscopy is presented. The spectrophone system used has a broad band LN₂ cooled CW CO laser as a source of radiation, which operates from 4.8–8.4 um in the mid-infrared. Using an extracavity open longitudinal resonant cell, absorption signals to about 30 CO laser lines in the 5.45 um region could be observed. detection sensitivity has been estimated to be ppb order.This work has been supported by the NSFC     

On the topological representation of catalytic cycles with nonlinear steps

Reaction route analysis is applied to visualize reaction networks in several heterogeneous catalytic reactions. Combination of the theory of complex reactions with the notion of catalytic cycles results in a topological representation of complex mechanisms with the nodes comprising all possible surface species including free sites and branches indicating interconnections between reactions.

Microbial Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation of Ketones by Cyclohexanone and Cyclopentanone Monooxygenase – A Computational Rational for Biocatalyst Performance

Summary. Recombinant Escherichia coli overexpressing Pseudomonas sp. NCIMB 9872 cyclopentanone monooxygenase (CPMO, EC 1.14.13.16) and Acinetobacter sp. NCIMB 9871 cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO, EC 1.14.13.22) have been utilized in whole-cell Baeyer-Villiger biotransformations of prochiral bicycloketones. A significant difference in substrate acceptance and stereoselectivity was observed for bicyclo[3.3.0] and bicyclo[4.3.0] substrates. A plausible mechanism of these transformations was established by means of high level DFT/B3LYP calculations suggesting an essential difference in electronic requirements for a successful enzymatic conversion, which was similarly encountered in recombinant whole-cell mediated biooxidations. Some of the lactones produced in the biocatalytic Baeyer-Villiger oxidation represent key intermediates for the synthesis of indole alkaloids.     

Photooxidation of aqueous trichloroethylene using a buoyant photocatalyst with reaction progress monitored via micro-headspace GC/MS

Although photooxidation has previously been shown to be successful in removing organic contaminants from water, methods combining the rapid photooxidation of the desired contaminant with easy catalyst manipulation and removal are few and far between. In the absence of an easy means of catalyst removal, the photooxidation process becomes more costly and time consuming, and photocatalysis cannot be employed as an in situ method for the remediation of aqueous organic contaminants. In this study, the photocatalyst was added to an aqueous trichloroethylene (TCE) solution in the form of TiO₂-coated buoyant microspheres. The solution, placed in a flow-cell photoreactor along with the buoyant catalyst, was irradiated with a UV-filtered Xenon light source. Limited sample sizes necessitated the development of a low-cost headspace GC/MS analysis method, utilizing a standard direct-injection autosampler. This analytical technique aptly monitored reaction progress and indicated that aqueous TCE concentration decreases by nearly 90% in the first hour of irradiation. Subsequent solvent extraction GC/MS analysis indicated that the TCE is initially sorbed by the photocatalyst spheres, but as irradiation continued, TCE is removed from the catalyst spheres surfaces. During the course of irradiation, the expected TCE mineralization product hydrochloric acid appeared, as indicated by a decrease in pH and ion chromatography analysis. The microsphere-born catalyst was easily removed from the treated solution by filtration. Thus, it is possible that a method for effective, low-cost in situ photooxidation of aqueous organic contaminants will be realized in the near future.     

Catalytic air oxidation of ambient temperature hydrocarbons

Catalytic air oxidation of the aliphatic hydrocarbons n-decane, hexanes, gasoline and diesel fuel was conducted at ambient temperature with novel iron catalysts. The concentration of n-decane in water was reduced from 1.42 g in 100 ml to 0.07 g in 100 ml in 5 h at room temperature forming carbon monoxide and water by means of intermediate aldehydes. Results of FT–IR and GC–MS analyses demonstrated formation of aldehydes and unsaturated alcohols. Carbon monoxide was detected on catalyst residues and in the vapor phase. The indicated catalytic reaction mechanisms are discussed.     

Synthesis of a new tricyclic 3-(tetrazol-5-yl)pyridine system from 2-(azidomethyl)nicotinonitriles

2-Methyl-3-cyanopyridines were converted into the corresponding 2-azidomethyl derivatives, which then underwent an intramolecular cycloaddition reaction. A novel heterocyclic system containing a 3-(tetrazol-5-yl)pyridine unit was obtained in this way.
