Theoretical insight of nitric oxide adsorption on neutral and charged Pdn (n = 1–5) clusters

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations within the framework of generalized gradient approximation have been used to systematically investigate the adsorption of nitric oxide (NO) molecule on neutral, cationic, and anionic Pd_n (n = 1–5) clusters. NO coordinate to one Pd atom of the cluster by the end‐on mode, where the tilted end‐on structure is more favorable due to the additional electron in the π* orbital. On the contrary, in the neutral and cationic Pd₂ system, NO coordinates to the bridge site of cluster preferably by the side‐on mode. Charge transfer between Pd clusters and NO molecule and the corresponding weakening of N? O bond is an essential factor for the adsorption. The N? O stretching frequency follow the order of cationic > neutral > anionic. Binding energy of NO on anionic clusters is found to be greater than those of neutral and cationic clusters. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Solubility and physic-chemical properties of NaH2PO4 in phosphoric acid,sodium chloride and their mixture solutions at T = (298.15 and 313.15) K

In this study, solubility and physic-chemical properties of sodium dihydrogen phosphate in sodium chloride, phosphoric acid and their mixture solutions at T = (298.15 and 313.15) K have been investigated by using isothermal dissolution method. In the three systems, the solubility of NaH₂PO₄ always increases with the temperature increasing and decreases with molar concentration of phosphoric acid (sodium chloride) increasing because of the same ion effect. Solubility data of sodium dihydrogen phosphate in the mixed solution of sodium chloride and phosphoric acid is basically required for designing and optimizing the solvent extraction process in the industrial production.     

Solubility measurement and modelling of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in nine organic solvents from T = (273.15 to 308.15) K and mixing properties of solutions

The solubility of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, trichloromethane, isopropanol, acetone, toluene, ethyl acetate and butyl alcohol were obtained experimentally at temperatures ranging from (273.15 to 308.15) K under 0.1 MPa by using a gravimetric method. The solubility of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in those solvents increases with an increase in temperature. The solubility values decrease according to the following order: acetone > (acetonitrile, ethyl acetate) > trichloromethane > toluene > methanol > ethanol > isopropanol > butyl alcohol. Three models, the modified Apelblat equation, Wilson and NRTL were used to correlate the solubility of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in the solvents studied. The calculated solubility by the modified Apelblat equation provides better agreement than those evaluated by the other two models. The regressed results via the three models are all acceptable for the solubility of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in the selected solvents. Furthermore, the mixing Gibbs energy, mixing enthalpy, and mixing entropy for per 1 mol of mixture of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene and solvents were calculated based on the Wilson model. The dissolution process of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in the selected solvents is spontaneous and exothermic.

供/吸电子基团共轭桥联的双BODIPY衍生物的合成及性能

设计合成了4种对称的以不同供/吸电子基团为共轭桥、两端连接meso位苯或噻吩取代的新型氟化硼二吡咯甲川(BODIPY)衍生物;通过1H NMR,13C NMR和MS等手段对其进行了结构表征;并采用紫外吸收光谱、荧光发射光谱及循环伏安(CV)等方法研究了其光电性能.紫外光谱数据表明,BODIPY结构具有明显的特征吸收,中间的桥联基团无论是强供电子的苯并二噻吩(BDT)还是强吸电子的苯并噻二唑(BT)均不能使整个分子产生明显的分子内电子迁移(ICT).另一方面,meso位的取代基可与BODIPY核产生微弱的ICT,且meso位噻吩取代的分子比meso位苯环取代的分子表现出更强的ICT.紫外光谱数据和电化学测试结果表明,meso位噻吩取代的分子比meso位苯环取代的分子具有更低的氧化电位和更窄的能隙.     

不同WO3含量对CeO2-ZrO2-WO3催化剂在NH3选择性催化还原NO中的影响

采用水热法制备了CeO₂-ZrO₂-WO₃(CZW)催化剂,考察了WO₃含量对CZW催化剂上NH₃选择性催化还原NO_x性能的影响,并利用X射线衍射、N₂吸附-脱附、H₂程序升温还原、NH₃和NO程序升温脱附等方法对其进行了表征。结果表明,WO₃以无定形的形式存在于催化剂中,添加WO₃后显著提高了催化剂的表面酸性,并且在CZW催化剂上出现了强吸附的NO物种,从而有利于提高催化剂的活性。另外,适量的WO₃引入将增大催化剂的比表面积,促进催化剂的氧化还原性能,这将有利于提高SCR的催化活性。和CeO₂-ZrO₂催化剂相比,当WO₃的含量为20%时,CZW催化剂表现出良好的抗硫性能。此外,当空速为60 000 h^-1时,在200~463 ℃,该催化剂显示出了大于90% NO_x转化率。

Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography method for measuring the composition of aquatic humic substances

A hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) method was developed to measure the composition of humic substances from river, reservoir, and treated wastewater based on their physicochemical properties. The current method fractionates the humic substances into four well-defined groups based on parallel analyses with a neutral and a cationic HILIC column, using mobile phases of varied compositions and pH. The results indicate that: (i) the proportion of carboxylic acids in the humic substances from terrestrial origins is less than half of that from treated wastewater (Jeddah, KSA), (ii) a higher content of basic compounds was observed in the humic substances from treated wastewater and Ribou Reservoir (Cholet, France) than in the sample from Loire River (France), (iii) a higher percentage of hydrophobic macromolecules were found in the humic substances from Loire River than in the other samples, and (iv) humic substances of treated wastewater contained less ionic neutral compounds (i.e., pK_a 5–9) than the waters from terrestrial origins. The physicochemical property disparity amongst the compounds in each humic substances sample was also evaluated. The humic substances from the lightly humic Loire river displayed the highest disparity, whereas the highly humic Suwannee river (Georgia, USA) showed the most homogeneous humic substances.
