Low temperature synthesis and characterization of porous anatase TiO2 nanoparticles

An ethanol solution of Ti-peroxy compounds was prepared from the ethanol solution of titanium isopropoxide (Ti(O-iPr)4) and H2O2. Heating of the ethanol solution of the Ti-peroxy compounds at 348 K formed a Ti-peroxy gel, and heat treatment of the gel at 348 K for more than 6 h formed gels that consisted of anatase nanoparticles. The diameter of the anatase nanoparticles increased from 9 to 15 nm as the heating time increased from 6 to 48 h. According to the results of the N2 adsorption measurement, the anatase nanoparticles had micropores, and the specific surface area (SBET) was in the range of 254 to 438 m2/g. The particle size, lattice strain, specific surface area, and photocatalytic activity of the anatase nanoparticles can be regulated by the heating time of the Ti-peroxy gel at 348 K.     

Some Novel Dinuclear phenylboronates of biologically potent β‐enaminoesters: Synthesis,Spectroscopic characterization,antimicrobial activity and their antiandrogenic effect

Organoboron derivatives of biologically potent β‐enamino esters of the type [Where R = CH₃(1a), C₂H₅ (1b), C₃H₇(1c) and C (CH₃)₃ (1d)] have been prepared by the reactions of β‐enamino esters and Phenyl boronic acid [PhB (OH)₂] in 1:2 molar ratio in refluxing tetrahydrofuran (THF). All these derivatives have been characterized by physico‐chemical properties, elemental analyses and molecular weight measurements. The structures of these compounds have been proposed on the basis of IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹B NMR spectral data and GC‐mass spectrometry. Phenyl boronic acid, β‐enamino esters and their respective phenylboronates derivatives have been screened for the antibmicrobial activities against pathogenic bacteria (B. subtilis and E. coli) and fungi (A. niger and P. peniculosum) to access their growth inhibiting potential. In addition to this, antiandrogenic effect of Ligand, L^aH₂ and its boron derivative (1a) has also been tested in male albino rats.     

Encapsulating property of ap-t-butylcalix[6]arene derivative: Formation of charge-transfer complexes of alkadienes with iodine in the presence of octopus-type calix[6]arene

This paper deals with the ability ofp-tert-butylcalix[6]arene derivative1, which has six 3,6,9-trioxadecyl substituents at the phenolic oxygens, to encapsulate CT complexes of alkadienes with iodine. By adding I₂ to alkadienes in CH₂Cl₂ in the presence of1, the absorbance at 363 nm, which was ascribed to I ₃ ^– ion, increased in the order: 1,5-hexadiene<1,9-decadiene 1,7-octadiene. The reactivity features of the CT complexes in the presence of1 are discussed.     

Photocatalytic decomposition of orange II over TiO2-loaded on SBA-15 prepared using a microwave process

SBA-15 mesoporous material was prepared by microwave-hydrothermal method and was used as support in TiO₂-loaded SBA-15 photocatalysts. The physical properties of these particles were investigated. We also examined the activity of these samples as photocatalysts for the decomposition of orange II. Titania loaded on a silica matrix decreases the surface area of the support as expected for TiO₂ incorporation. For TiO₂-loaded SBA-15 photocatalysts, the IR absorption at ∼960 cm⁻¹ commonly accepted as the characteristic vibration of the Ti-O-Si bond. The photocatalytic activity increases with an increase of the TiO₂ loading.     

Studies on the solvatochromism of Fe(CN)2(phen)2

Summary The influence of organic solvents on the electronic spectra of Fe(CN)₂(phen)₂ has been investigated by trichromatic colorimetry. The color parameters of these solutions have been calculated on the basis of the absorption spectra and are described in the CIE and CIELAB color spaces. It has been shown that one of the parameters (the so-called hue angle) could be related to some acidity parameters of solvents. Thus, it is possible to calculate the hue angle and, therefore, to predict the color of solution if the solvent acceptor number is known, or vice versa.

Untersuchung zur Solvatochromie von Fe(CN)₂(phen)₂

Zusammenfassung Der Einfluß organischer Lösungsmittel auf die UV-Spektren von Fe(CN)₂-(phen)₂ wurde mittels trichromatischer Kolorimetrie untersucht. Die Farbparameter der Lösungen wurden aus den Absorptionsspektren berechnet und werden in den CIE- und CIELAB-Farbräumen beschrieben. Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß einer der Farbparameter (der sogenannte Farbtonwinkel) zu den Aciditätsparametern des jeweiligen Lösungsmittels in Beziehung gesetzt werden kann. Es ist daher z.B. möglich, die Farbe der Lösung vorherzusagen, wenn die Akzeptorzahl des Lösungsmittels bekannt ist und umgekehrt.

     

两种气相色谱固定相的研究

使用硫杂冠醚、穴醚[2.2.2]作气相色谱固定相制备毛细管柱,考察两种固定相的使用比例、极性、热稳定性,并对甲苯-苯、乙苯-甲苯、甲基苯酚（o/p）、二氯苯（o/p,m）、硝基氯化苯（m,o）、苯-环己烷、庚醇-辛醇、苯胺-N,N二甲基苯胺等混合样品进行色谱分离.实验结果表明：两种固定相在OV-1701中的比例均为15%时有较好的分离效果,都属于中等极性的固定相.硫杂冠醚、穴醚[2.2.2]的平均极性分别为815、832,其中硫杂冠醚固定相的热稳定性较好,有较高的使用温度（185℃）,而穴醚[2.2.2]的最高使用温度为120℃,因此穴醚[2.2.2]的使用温度受到一定的限制.从它们较好的分离性能看,固定相硫杂冠醚、穴醚[2.2.2]均具有较好的应用前景.     

Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic property of a new nickel selenite chloride: Ni5(SeO3)4Cl2

The new nickel selenite chloride, Ni₅(SeO₃)₄Cl₂, was obtained by high-temperature solid state reaction of NiCl₂, Ni₂O₃ and SeO₂ in a 1:2:4 molar ratio at 700 °C in an evacuated quartz tube. Its structure was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Ni₅(SeO₃)₄Cl₂ crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P-1 (No. 2) with cell parameters of a=8.076(2), b=9.288(2), c=9.376(2) Å, α=101.97(3), β=105.60(3), γ=91.83(3)° and Z=2. All nickel(II) ions in Ni₅(SeO₃)₄Cl₂ are octahedrally coordinated by selenite oxygens or/and chloride anions (([Ni(1)O₅Cl], [Ni(2)O₄Cl₂], [Ni(3)O₅Cl], [Ni(4)O₆] and [Ni(5)O₄Cl]). The structure of the title compound features a condensed three-dimensional (3D) network built by Ni(II) ions interconnected by SeO₃²⁻ anions as well as Cl⁻ anions. Magnetic property measurements show strong antiferromagnetic interaction between nickel(II) ions.     

Molecular Simulation on Transport Properties of Confined Water

The diffusivity and viscosity of water confined in micropores were studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The effects of pore width and density were analyzed at pore widths from 0.9 to 2.6nm. The diffusivity in micropores is lower than that of the bulk, and it decreases as pore width decreases and as density increases. But the viscosity in micropores is much larger than that of the bulk, and it increases as pore width decreases and as density increases. The diffusivity in channel parallel direction is obviously larger than that in channel perpendicular directions.     

四-α-(2，2，4-三甲基-3-戊氧基)酞菁金属配合物(M=Co，Ni，Cu，Zn)的合成与光谱性质(英)

A series of [tetra-α-(2,2,4-tirmethyl-3-pentoxy) phthalocyaninato] metal complexes(M=Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)were prepared by cyclotetramerization of 3-(2,2,4-tirmethyl-3-pentoxy)phthalonitrile with corresponding anhydrous metal salts， using 1.8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) as the catalyst. HPLC analysis shows that one isomer predominates in the product of nickel complex, while at least two main constitutional isomers exist in the product of other metal complexes. The complexes (in the form of mixture of constitutional isomers) were characterized by elemental analyses, MS, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy.     

A High－efficiency Preparation, Properties and Structure of （R, S ）－and （ S, S）－Pyrrolidine－2－carboxylic Acid 3,5－Dioxa－4－boracvclo.hepta [ 2,1－α; 3,4－α′] dinaphthalen－4－yl Esters

A highly-efficient preparative procedure for ( R, S )- and ( S, S)-pyrroHdine-2-carboxyHc acid 3,5-dioxa-4-boracyclohepta[2, 1-α ; 3,4-α′] dlnaphthalen-4-yl esters [ namely ( R, S )-BNBAP and (S, S )-BNBAP] is described and the crystal structure of (R, S )-BNBAP was obtained. The data indicate that ( R, S )-BNBAP is a spirocyclic inner borate salt with almost normal te-trahedral configuration. This structural form may be the basic reason for their high chemical, optical and thermodynamic sta-bility.
