High-temperature Auger electron spectroscopy of Zircaloy-4

The near-surface region of Zircaloy-4 (Zry-4) has been probed using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). In particular, the behavior of impurity (sulfur) and alloying (tin) elements has been monitored as a function of annealing temperature and time. High-temperature AES experiments above 900 K are reported, with a primary focus on changes in the S(LMM) Auger feature that overlaps with the primary Zr(MNV) transition. We find that the sulfur content of the near-surface region increases linearly with annealing time at higher temperatures. Tin is the only alloying element whose Auger signal intensity significantly exceeds the noise level at these temperatures.     

Reactivity of lithium 2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiophene-1-oxide toward aldehydes and imines and DFT calculations

The sulfinyl carbanion derived from 2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiophene-1-oxide and its lithium salt has been investigated by DFT calculations. The lithium carbanion was treated with aldehydes and imines to give chiral hydroxy and amino derivatives, with high stereoselectivity at the carbon α to the sulfoxide group (trans diastereoisomers), but with low diastereoselectivity at the hydroxyl or amine group. DFT calculations were used to rationalize the different stereochemical behavior of cyclic and acyclic lithiated sulfoxides in the reaction with aldehydes and azomethines.

Development and comparison of HPLC and MEKC methods for the analysis of cyclic sulfur mustard degradation products

In this study, novel, fast, and simple methods based on RP‐HPLC and MEKC with DAD are developed and validated for the qualitative and quantitative determination of five cyclic sulfur mustard (HD) degradation products (1,4‐thioxane, 1,3‐dithiolane, 1,4‐dithiane, 1,2,5‐trithiepane, and 1,4,5‐oxadithiepane) in water samples. The HPLC method employs a C18 column and an isocratic water‐ACN (55:45, v/v) mobile phase. This method enables separation of all five cyclic compounds within 8 min. With the CE method, the baseline separation of five compounds was achieved in less than 11 min by applying a simple BGE composed of a 10 mM borate buffer and 90 mM SDS (pH 9.15). Both methods showed good linear correlation (R ² > 0.9904). The detection limits were in the range of 0.08–0.1 μM for the HPLC method and 10–20 μM for MEKC. The precision tests resulted in RSDs for migration times and peak areas less than 0.9 and 5.5%, respectively, for the HPLC method, and less than 1.1 and 7.7% for the MEKC method, respectively. The developed methods were successfully applied to the analysis of five cyclic HD degradation products in water samples. With the HPLC method, the LODs were lowered using the SPE for sample purification and concentration.     

催化发光法同时测定空气中的甲醛、苯和二氧化硫

基于甲醛、苯和二氧化硫在纳米Ti3CeY2O11上的催化发光有交叉敏感现象,在3个波长处分别确定甲醛、苯和二氧化硫浓度与催化发光信号强度的响应关系,再依据发光信号强度的叠加性特征即可获取甲醛、苯和二氧化硫的准确浓度,据此建立了同时测定空气中甲醛、苯和二氧化硫的新方法.3个分析波长分别为420、535和680 nm,敏感材料表面温度为280℃,载气流速为130 mL/min.本方法对甲醛、苯和二氧化硫的检出限(3σ)分别为0.04、0.05和0.10 mg/m3,线性范围分别为0.08~75.60 mg/m3、0.10~101.40 mg/m3和0.30~115.00 mg/m3, 回收率分别为96.4%~103.7%、97.8%~102.5%和97.2%~103.3%.常见共存物,如乙醛、甲苯、硫化氢、氨、甲醇、乙醇和二氧化碳等不干扰测定.连续200 h通浓度均为50 mg/m3的甲醛、苯和二氧化硫混合气体,发光强度的相对偏差≤2%,表明此纳米级复合氧化物对甲醛、苯和二氧化硫的敏感性的寿命长.本方法充分利用了交叉敏感现象,可以实现空气中甲醛、苯和二氧化硫的在线分析.     

S掺杂的还原态TiO2-x的制备及其可见光催化性能

作为一种稳定、价廉的光催化剂,TiO2被广泛应用于各种污染物的降解;但是,较大的宽禁带(~3.2 eV)和较低的电子迁移率不仅使TiO2很难吸收可见光,而且光生电子和空穴的复合几率高,从而导致TiO2的总体光电效率不高.因此,设计能够被可见光激发、并具有快速光生电子传输的TiO2一直是研究热点.研究表明,Ti3+自掺杂的TiO2(还原态TiO2-x)不仅能够被可见光激发,而且使TiO2具有良好的电子导电性,从而有利于提高TiO2的光电转换效率.另外,非金属元素的掺杂能够减小TiO2的禁带宽度,使TiO2能够响应可见光并具有良好的可见光催化性能,其中S元素的掺杂被广泛研究.目前,S掺杂纳米TiO2的制备通常采用TiS2,单质S,硫脲、二甲亚砜等为S源,但这类原料通常价格昂贵或者具有一定的毒性,因而实际应用受到限制.而制备Ti3+自掺杂TiO2的方法大都是基于"还原法",在真空或强还原性气氛如H2,CO中加热TiO2,或采用高能粒子(电子、氩离子)轰击.在实际应用中,这些方法存在步骤多、条件苛刻、反应时间长和设备昂贵等不足.而且,还原法反应通常发生在颗粒的表面,形成的Ti3+很容易被空气和水中的溶解O2氧化,降低材料的稳定性.虽然在温和的液相中还原Ti4+可用于制备Ti3+掺杂的TiO2,但是由于反应过程中有副产物生成,需要进行后续处理才能得到纯的Ti3+自掺杂TiO2.因此,设计一种简单的制备S掺杂还原态TiO2-x光催化剂仍具有十分重要的意义.前期我们采用H2O2氧化TiH2得到不同状态的前驱体凝胶,然后进行不同方式的后处理得到Ti3+自掺杂的纳米TiO2.本文以TiH2和H2O2反应得到的黄色前驱体凝胶为Ti源,以价格低廉、无毒、稳定的二氧化硫脲为S源和还原剂,采用不同的方法制备了S掺杂的还原态TiO2-x光催化剂.本文初步研究了在凝胶中加入二氧化硫脲后进行水热处理,以及将干燥的凝胶粉末与二氧化硫脲混合热处理对所得产物的影响.并与纯的TiO2、还原态TiO2-x和S掺杂TiO2的光吸收、电化学、光催化性能进行对比研究.采用X射线衍射、透射电子显微镜、高分辨透射电子显微镜、X-射线光电子能谱、紫外-可见漫反射光谱、比表面分析和电化学工作站等技术对产物的结构、形貌和光电性能进行了表征.以罗丹明B(RhB)溶液为模拟废水,考察样品的可见光催化性能.结果表明,不同的后续处理方式不仅影响S掺杂TiO2-x的结晶性和形貌,而且影响产物的光吸收性能和电子传输性能,从而使不同条件下所得产物的可见光催化性能不同.其中,采用热处理方式得到的S掺杂TiO2-x样品在可见光下降解RhB的速率分别是纯的TiO2,TiO2-x和S掺杂TiO2的31,2.5和3.6倍,而且样品具有良好的循环稳定性.     

Thiophene-containing products of the Ugi reaction in an oxidation-triggered IMDA/aromatization cascade: a simple access to 3-oxoisoindolines

A novel approach to skeletally diverse 3-oxoisoindolines has been developed which includes preparation of Ugi adducts containing thiophene and fumaric acid residues. When treated with excess m-CPBA at room temperature, these precursors undergo a simple oxidative cycloaddition/aromatization transformation and the corresponding 3-oxoisoindoline products are isolated in fair chemical yield over two steps. The second step is thought to include S-oxidation/IMDA/S-oxidation/SO₂ extrusion/aromatization events.     

Binuclear cyclopentadienylcobalt sulfur and phosphinidene complexes Cp2Co2E2 (E = S, PX): Comparison with their Iron carbonyl analogues

Density functional theory studies on a series of Cp₂Co₂E₂ derivatives (E = S and PX; X = H, Cl, OH, OMe, NH₂, NMe₂) predict global minimum butterfly structures with one Co-Co bond for the “body” of the butterfly and four Co-E bonds at the edges of the “wings” of the butterfly. Tetrahedrane structures with both Co-Co and E-E bonds are higher in energy for Cp₂Co₂S₂ and Cp₂Co₂(PH)₂ and are not found in the other systems. This differs from the corresponding Fe₂(CO)₆S₂ and Fe₂(CO)₆(PX)₂ derivatives where tetrahedrane structures are predicted to be the lowest energy structures for all cases except X = NR₂ and OH and such a tetrahedrane structure is found experimentally for Fe₂(CO)₆S₂. The butterfly structures for the Cp₂Co₂E₂ derivatives are of two types. For Cp₂Co₂(PX)₂ (X = H, OH, OMe, NH₂, NMe₂) the lowest energy structures are unsymmetrical butterflies Cp₂Co₂(P)(PX₂) with two X groups on one phosphorus atom and a lone pair on the other (naked) phosphorus atom. Related low-energy unsymmetrical butterfly Fe₂(CO)₆(P)(PX₂) structures, not observed in previous theoretical studies, are now found for the corresponding Fe₂(CO)₆(PX)₂ derivatives. Symmetrical butterfly singlet diradical structures with one X group on each phosphorus atom in relative cis or trans positions are also found for the Cp₂Co₂(PX)₂ derivatives and are the global minima for Cp₂Co₂(PCl)₂ as well as Cp₂Co₂S₂. In all cases the cis structures are of lower energy than the corresponding trans structures. Rhombus structures having neither Co-Co nor E-E bonds are also found for all of the Cp₂Co₂(PX)₂ derivatives but always at higher energies than the butterfly structures, ranging from 17 to 29 kcal/mol above the global minima.
