Microtubing‐Reactor‐Assisted Aliphatic C−H Functionalization with HCl as a Hydrogen‐Atom‐Transfer Catalyst Precursor in Conjunction with an Organic Photoredox Catalyst

Chlorine radical, which is classically generated by the homolysis of Cl₂ under UV irradiation, can abstract a hydrogen atom from an unactivated C(sp³)?H bond. We herein demonstrate the use of HCl as an effective hydrogen‐atom‐transfer catalyst precursor activated by an organic acridinium photoredox catalyst under visible‐light irradiation for C?H alkylation and allylation. The key to success relied on the utilization of microtubing reactors to maintain the volatile HCl catalyst. This photomediated chlorine‐based C?H activation protocol is effective for a variety of unactivated C(sp³)?H bond patterns, even with primary C(sp³)?H bonds, as in ethane. The merit of this strategy is illustrated by rapid access to several pharmaceutical drugs from abundant unfunctionalized alkane feedstocks.     

Selective methane chlorination to methyl chloride by zeolite Y-based catalysts

The CH₄ chlorination over Y zeolites was investigated to produce CH₃Cl in a high yield. Three different catalytic systems based on Y zeolite were tested for enhancement of CH₄ conversion and CH₃Cl selectivity: (i) HY zeolites in H⁺-form having various Si/Al ratios, (ii) Pt/HY zeolites supporting Pt metal nanoparticles, (iii) Pt/NaY zeolites in Na⁺-form supporting Pt metal nanoparticles. The reaction was carried out using the gas mixture of CH₄ and Cl₂ with the respective flow rates of 15 and 10 mL min⁻¹ at 300–350 °C using a fixed-bed reactor under a continuous gas flow condition (gas hourly space velocity = 3000 mL g⁻¹ h⁻¹). Above the reaction temperature of 300 °C, the CH₄ chlorination is spontaneous even in the absence of catalyst, achieving 23.6% of CH₄ conversion with 73.4% of CH₃Cl selectivity. Under sufficient supplement of thermal energy, Cl₂ molecules can be dissociated to two chlorine radicals, which triggered the C-H bond activation of CH₄ molecule and thereby various chlorinated methane products (i.e., CH₃Cl, CH₂Cl₂, CHCl₃, CCl₄) could be produced. When the catalysts were used under the same reaction condition, enhancement in the CH₄ conversion was observed. The Pt-free HY zeolite series with varied Si/Al ratios gave around 27% of CH₄ conversion, but there was a slight decrease in CH₃Cl selectivity with about 64%. Despite the difference in acidity of HY zeolites having different Si/Al ratios, no prominent effect of the Si/Al ratios on the catalytic performance was observed. This suggests that the catalytic contribution of HY zeolites under the present reaction condition is not strong enough to overcome the spontaneous CH₄ chlorination. When the Pt/HY zeolite catalysts were used, the CH₄ conversion reached further up to 30% but the CH₃Cl selectivity decreased to 60%. Such an enhancement of CH₄ conversion could be attributed to the strong catalytic activity of HY and Pt/HY zeolite catalysts. However, both catalysts induced the radical cleavage of Cl₂ more favorably, which ultimately decreased the CH₃Cl selectivity. Such trade-off relationship between CH₄ conversion and CH₃Cl selectivity can be slightly broken by using Pt/NaY zeolite catalyst that is known to possess Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLP) that are very useful for ionic cleavage of H₂ to H⁺ and H⁻. Similarly, in the present work, Pt/NaY(FLP) catalysts enhanced the CH₄ conversion while keeping the CH₃Cl selectivity as compared to the Pt/HY zeolite catalysts.     

Comprehensive study on reinforcement of poly(vinyl chloride) nanocomposite films with ZnO nanoparticles modified by citric acid and vitamin C

We reported a general facile approach for modifying NPs and incorporating them into PVC polymer via ultrasonic irradiation. ZnO nanoparticles (NP)s modified with ascorbic acid (AS) and citric acid (CA) were employed to investigate the agglomeration behavior under poly(vinyl chloride) PVC matrix. To compare and determine the suitable construction, the prepared PVC/ZnO-CA-AS NCs (4, 8, 12?wt%) were characterized. UV-visible measurements indicate, increasing absorption value results in an increase of ZnO content. According to the obtained information from the TGA of the NCs, further increases in modified ZnO results in an increase in flame-retardancy. The mechanical properties investigation revealed improvement of the elongation at maximum stress.     

Higher hydrates of lithium chloride,lithium bromide and lithium iodide

For lithium halides, LiX (X = Cl, Br and I), hydrates with a water content of 1, 2, 3 and 5 moles of water per formula unit are known as phases in aqueous solid–liquid equilibria. The crystal structures of the monohydrates of LiCl and LiBr are known, but no crystal structures have been reported so far for the higher hydrates, apart from LiI·3H₂O. In this study, the crystal structures of the di‐ and trihydrates of lithium chloride, lithium bromide and lithium iodide, and the pentahydrates of lithium chloride and lithium bromide have been determined. In each hydrate, the lithium cation is coordinated octahedrally. The dihydrates crystallize in the NaCl·2H₂O or NaI·2H₂O type structure. Surprisingly, in the tri‐ and pentahydrates of LiCl and LiBr, one water molecule per Li⁺ ion remains uncoordinated. For LiI·3H₂O, the LiClO₄·3H₂O structure type was confirmed and the H‐atom positions have been fixed. The hydrogen‐bond networks in the various structures are discussed in detail. Contrary to the monohydrates, the structures of the higher hydrates show no disorder.     

Conductance in isodielectric mixed solvents containing triple ions

Formation of higher ion aggregates mainly by hydrogen bonding in solutions of diethylcyclohexylammonium chloride (c-Hex(Et)₂NHCl) has been examined by conductometry in nearly isodielectric mixed solvents: nitrobenzene-acetonitrile (35) and benzonitrile-ethanol (25) at 25°C. At lower acetonitrile content (less than ca. 10% by volume) in mixtures with nitrobenzene the salt gave minimum in the molar conductivities over the concentration range 4x10^–3 to 0.12 mol-dm^–3 which were explained by ion pair (MX), triple ion (M₂X, MX₂), and quadrupole (M₂X₂) formation in the solvent mixtures. The formation constants of the ion aggregates decreased with increasing content of acetonitrile. In benzonitrile-ethanol mixtures, the degrees of ion aggregate formation also decreased with increasing content of ethanol; triple ion formation could not be observed at more than 20% ethanol.
