Investigation on High Efficient Catalysts for the Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Ethane

Since the pioneer work of Thorsteinson fot me ox(?) ethane, a series of V-Mo based catalysts mainly for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane have been patented. On the surfaces of these catalysts, a C_2H_4 selectivity of 70％ was achieved, but the space velocity was only about 340 h~(-1). Lunsford, et al. reported a C_2H_6 conversion of 75％ and a C_2H_4 selectivity of 76％ over the     

Ni基催化剂上的乙烷部分氧化制合成气

There is abundant supply of light alkanes and relatively few routes of converting them to more valuable products. Although CH4 predominates in natural gas, it also contains C2H6, C3H8 and C4H10 (from 5 % to 30% ), and with C2H6 as the most abundant secondary component[1]. Partial oxidation of methane to syngas (CH4 +0.5O2 →CO + 2H2) over nickel-based catalysts has received intensive attention[2]and much research has been devoted to conversion of ethane to ethylene[3]. Ethylene has been shown to be formed from ethane by thermal dehydrogenation (C2H6 →C2H4 + H2) and oxidative dehydrogenation (C2H6 + 0. 5O2 →C2H4 + H2O). These processes are operated under severely fuel-rich conditions. The carbon-deposition and consequent deactivation of the catalysts are major problems, which leads to poor conversion of the above mentioned reactions. As an alternative strategy for the elaboration of ethane, little work on the partial oxidation of ethane (POE) to syngas over nickel-based catalysts has been reported. Provided it could be produced from C2H6with high selectivity and high conversion over nickel-based catalysts, syngas could be directly obtained from natural gas including CH4 and C2H6 with high selectivity and conversion. This may lead to better utilization of the light fractions from natural gas and refineries. In the present paper, POE to syngas over nickel-based catalysts was investigated.     

Controllability of radical copolymerization of maleimide and ethyl α‐(n‐propyl)acrylate using 1,1,2,2‐tetraphenyl‐1,2‐bis(trimethylsilyloxy) ethane as initiator

The radical copolymerization of maleimide (MI) and ethyl α‐propylacrylate was performed using 1,1,2,2‐tetraphenyl‐1,2‐bis(trimethylsilyloxy) ethane (TPSE) as initiator. The whole copolymerization process might be divided into two stages: in the first stage, the copolymerization was carried out on the common radical mechanism, the molecular weight of the copolymer increased rapidly in much lower conversion (< 85%), and did not depend on the polymerization time and conversion; in the second stage, molecular weight of the copolymer increased linearly with the conversion and the polymerization time. It was found, however, when the conversion was higher than a certain value, for example, more than 36%, the molecular weight of the copolymer was nearly unchangeable with the polymerization time and the molecular weight distribution was widened. The effect of reaction conditions on copolymerization was discussed and the reactivity ratios were calculated by the Kelen–Tudos method, the values were r_MI = 0.13 ± 0.03, r_EPA = 0.58 ± 0.06 for TPSE system and r_MI = 0.12 ± 0.03, r_EPA = 0.52 ± 0.06 for AIBN system. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Chemistry of Spontaneous Alkylation of Methimazole with 1,2-Dichloroethane

Spontaneous S-alkylation of methimazole (1) with 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) into 1,2-bis[(1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl)thio]ethane (2), that we have described recently, opened the question about its formation pathway(s). Results of the synthetic, NMR spectroscopic, crystallographic and computational studies suggest that, under given conditions, 2 is obtained by direct attack of 1 on the chloroethyl derivative 2-[(chloroethyl)thio]-1-methyl-1H-imidazole (3), rather than through the isolated stable thiiranium ion isomer, i.e., 7-methyl-2H, 3H, 7H-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-4-ium chloride (4a, orthorhombic, space group Pnma), or in analogy with similar reactions, through postulated, but unproven intermediate thiiranium ion 5. Furthermore, in the reaction with 1, 4a prefers isomerization to the N-chloroethyl derivative, 1-chloroethyl-2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-thione (7), rather than alkylation to 2, while 7 further reacts with 1 to form 3-methyl-1-[(1-methyl-imidazole-2-yl)thioethyl]-1H-imidazole-2-thione (8, monoclinic, space group P 2₁/c). Additionally, during the isomerization of 3, the postulated intermediate thiiranium ion 5 was not detected by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, nor by trapping with AgBF₄. However, trapping resulted in the formation of the silver complex of compound 3, i.e., bis-{2-[(chloroethyl)thio]-1-methyl-1H-imidazole}-silver(I)tetrafluoroborate (6_, monoclinic, space group P 2₁/c), which cyclized upon heating at 80 °C to 7-methyl-2H, 3H, 7H-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-4-ium tetrafluoroborate (4b, monoclinic, space group P 2₁/c). Finally, we observed thermal isomerization of both 2 and 2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-1-[(1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl)thioethyl]-1H-imidazole-2-thione (8), into 1,2-bis(2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-thione-1-yl)ethane (9), which confirmed their structures.

CuCl2-KCl-LaCl3/γ-Al2O3对乙烷氧氯化反应的催化性能

 以γ-Al2O3为载体,采用常规浸渍法制备了负载型CuCl2-KCl-LaCl3三组分催化剂,并研究了其对乙烷氧氯化反应的催化性能. 结果表明,该催化体系中乙烷的转化率较稳定,但随着反应时间的延长,氯乙烯的选择性和收率明显下降. XRD,N2吸附,TGA/DTA和XPS测试结果表明,随着反应的进行,催化剂中的活性物种Cu2+逐渐被还原成Cu+,并且积炭的产生使催化剂的比表面积和孔容积减小. 活性物种Cu2+的减少及比表面积的降低是催化剂失活的主要原因.     

Environmental analysis of higher brominated diphenyl ethers and decabromodiphenyl ethane

Methods for environmental analysis of higher brominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), in particular decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE209), and the recently discovered environmental contaminant decabromodiphenyl ethane (deBDethane) are reviewed. The extensive literature on analysis of BDE209 has identified several critical issues, including contamination of the sample, degradation of the analyte during sample preparation and GC analysis, and the selection of appropriate detection methods and surrogate standards. The limited experience with the analysis of deBDethane suggests that there are many commonalities with BDE209. The experience garnered from the analysis of BDE209 over the last 15 years will greatly facilitate progress in the analysis of deBDethane.     

Thermolysis kinetics of diethyl 2,3‐dicyano‐2,3‐di(p‐substituted phenyl)succinates

An experimental approach was developed to determine the intrinsic thermolysis rate constants of the central carbon–carbon bond during the dl/meso isomerization of diethyl 2,3‐dicyano‐2,3‐di(p‐substituted phenyl)succinates (G=H, Me, OMe, Cl, and NO₂) at temperatures ranging from 80 to 120 °C. The obtained rate constants are significantly affected by the polarity of the para substituents, in sharp contrast to their negligible effects on the dl/meso isomerization equilibrium constants. Moreover, the substituent effects on the activation enthalpies can be linearly correlated with the Hammett substituent resonance constants and the homolytic dissociation enthalpies (bond dissociation energies) of the benzylic C–H bonds of ethyl 2‐cyano‐2‐(p‐substituted phenyl)acetates.

DI-μ-CHLORO-BIS[l,2-BIS(DIPHENYLPHOSPHINO)-ETHANEPALLADIUM(II)]: SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE

Abstract

On reacting 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethanedichloropalladium(II) with equimolar amount of silver perchlorate, a binuclear complex, di-μ-chloro-bis[1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane-palladium(II)] (1) is formed. The crystal structure of 1 has been solved. It crystallizes with two chloroform molecules. Chloro bridges are symmetrical and normal (Pd-Cl～2.414(3) Å). The immediate environment around palladium is slightly distorted square planar and the P-Pd-P angle is ～85°. IR bands at 290 and 270cm^?1 are observed for the chloro-bridged core of the complex.
