CATALYSIS OF POLYSTYRENE N-HYDROXYL SULFONAMIDE FOR ESTERIFICATION OF BUTANOL WITH ACETIC ANHYDRIDE

1. INTRODUCTION The development of efficient polymer-supported catalysts has attracted much attention [1]. For obtaining polymeric catalysts, catalytically active groups were introduced onto polymers mostly by copolymerization of the appropriate monomers bearing the desired catalyticfunctionalities (e.g. imidazole, OH, and COOH) or by modification of preformed polymers.Another possibility involves the attachment of side chains, containing the desired arrangement of functional groups, o…     

Kinetic Studies on the Reaction of Sodium Hexa-cyanoferrate(II) Complex with Peroxydisulfate Anion

Introduction In the previous studies on the oxidation reaction,peroxydisulfate was widely used as an oxidizingagent.1-5 One of the advantages of this oxidant lies in itsstability in a wide range of pH values. The reaction be-tween Fe(CN)5L3- (L=N-aromatic heterocyclic li-gands) and S2O8 2- has been proved to proceed throughan outer-sphere electron transfer mechanism.5 For a re-action [(Eq. (1)] to be under an outer-sphere mechanismthe steps involved are the formation of a reactant …     

Optimization of Mass Transfer Processes in the Zone of the Air Electrode of a Fuel Cell with a Solid Polymer Electrolyte

A two-dimensional mathematical model for the transport of reactants in a fuel cell with a solid polymer electrolyte is developed. The model is used for analyzing spatial distributions of the concentration of reactants and current density over the cell. The effect of the catalytic-layer activity, reactant speed, bipolar-plate geometry, thickness and porosity of current collector and/or gas-diffusion sublayer, and the reaction mixture composition on the fuel cell efficiency is estimated theoretically and experimentally.     

The First Intramolecular Charge Transfer Transition Based on 2-Ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone Binding Module

The first intramolecular charge transfer transition based on 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone binding module was reported.     

TTF-porphyrin dyads as novel photoinduced electron transfer systems

A TTF-linked porphyrin dyad and its zinc complex have been synthesized as novel photosystems with a redox-active pendant. The two chromophores of these dyads are not interactive in the absorption spectra, but the fluorescence of the porphyrin chromophore is dramatically quenched by intramolecular electron transfer from the TTF pendant.     

Electron transfer induced dissociations of 2- and 4-alkyl cyclohexadienones

Several 2- and 4-alkylcyclohexadienones were prepared and shown to accept electrons to produce ketyl radical anions that dissociated rapidly at room temperature to release carbon-centered radicals and an aromatic phenoxide type anion. In the PET process with benzyl-substituted cyclohexadienones, initiated with triethylamine, the benzyl radicals dimerised or abstracted an H-atom from solvent. In electrochemical reductions, and in reductions with alkali metals in liquid ammonia, the benzyl radicals were further reduced to anions.     

Shell effects in the symmetric-modal fission of pre-actinide nuclei

Mass distributions of fragments in the low-energy fission of nuclei from ¹⁸⁷Ir to ²¹³At have been analysed. This analysis has shown that shell effects in symmetric-mode fragment mass yields from the fission of pre-actinide nuclei could be described if one assumes the existence of two strongly deformed neutron shells in the arising fragments with neutron numbers N₁ ≈ 52 and N₂ ≈ 68. A new method has been proposed for quantitatively describing the mass distributions of the symmetric fission mode for pre-actinides with A ≈ 180–220.     

Classical versus Jennings model for the ground state of H near a metallic surface

We show that, contrary to earlier reports, application of the one-parameter variational technique to the classical (image) model for H in front of an Al surface leads to energy shifts for the ground state which are very close to those obtained numerically with a more sophisticated model of the system.     

花丝内插物强化竖直管内凝结换热的实验研究

1前言大空隙率多孔体管内插物-绕花丝内插物，被认为是强化管内凝结换热的最有效途径之一[1]．但以往的研究，由于实验雷诺数范围较小，蒸汽速度较低，要正确全面评价其性能尚显不够。本文在原有工作的基础上，进一步完善了实验系统，改进了测试手段，扩大了实验雷诺数范围，并测试了其阻力性能，对花丝内插物强化管内凝结换热进行了较深入全面的实验研究，以全面评价花丝内插物对管内凝结换热的强化效果。2实验系统本文实验系统如图1所示。实验段是一个竖直套管冷凝器，如图2所示．本试验研究蒸汽完全凝结时的传热。凝结水流量采用容积法计…
