CF3O2自由基和NO反应机理的理论研究

用密度泛函理论(DFT)的B3LYP方法, 分别在6-31G、6-311G、6-311+G(d)基组水平上研究了CF3O2自由基和NO反应机理. 研究结果表明, CF3O2自由基和NO反应存在三条可行的反应通道, 优化得到了相应的中间体和过渡态. 从活化能看, 通道CH3O2+NO→IM1→TS1→IM2→TS2→CF3O+ONO的活化能最低, 仅为70.86 kJ•mol-1, 是主要反应通道, 主要产物是CF3O和NO2. 而通道CH3O2+NO→IM1→TS3→CF3ONO2和CH3O2+NO→TS4→IM3→TS5→IM4→TS6→CF3O+NOO的活化能较高, 故该反应难以进行.     

Two-beam interference detection of the changes in fibre structural parameters during low drawing process

A Pluta polarizing interference microscope with a fibre stretching device attached was used to detect the changes in molecular structure that occur during the fibre cold drawing process. Fibres drawn with low draw ratios show different types of deformation mechanisms. The interference patterns recorded at different draw ratios are used to relate the deformation mechanisms with the measured structural parameters. Some optical parameters are measured such as; refractive indices nand n birefringence n, the polarizability per unit volume , the orientation distribution function f(θ), the angle θ between the stretching direction and the chain axis, and the angle θ_m which the transition dipole moment of the molecular species makes with the molecular axis (chain axis). Three polymeric fibres (Polyethylene terephthalate PET, Polypropylene PP and Polyamide PA) were used in this study and their interferograms are illustrated.     

X-H (X = C, N, O, Si, P, S) 键离解能计算的密度泛函方法研究

使用了不同密度泛函方法计算X-H (X = C, N, O, Si, P, S) 键离解能，并分析不同密度泛函方法的计算精度。研究发现大多数密度泛函方法包括B3LYP, B3P86, B3PW91, G96LYP, PBE1PBE，和BH&HLYP都明显低估键离解能13-25 kJ/mol。该现象与是否使用无限基组无关，因为即使使用无限基组键离解能仍然被低估。因此密度泛函方法不适合用于键离解能的估算。其中B3P86方法的偏差最小。进一步分析表明，使用限制性开壳层计算并无任何优势，在大多数情况下非限制性开壳层计算实际上比限制性开壳层计算要好。最后，我们发现了密度泛函方法对键离解能的低估是系统的，因此建议利用校准后的UDFT/6-311++G(d, p)方法计算化学键离解能。     

Analysis of the Temperature and Composition Dependence of Viscosimetric Properties of 2-Butanone <Emphasis Type="Bold">+</Emphasis> 2-Butanol Solvent Mixtures

Kinematic viscosities were measured for 2-butanone + 2-butanol binary liquid mixtures with a capillary Ubbelohde routine viscometer in the temperature range from 273.15 to 353.15 K at atmospheric pressure, and covering the whole miscibility field (0x_i1). Experimental data have been correlated by means of different empirical or semiempirical relationships, such as =(T), =(x_i), and =(T, x_i). Viscosity deviations, , from ideal behavior are negative at all experimental conditions, confirming that structure breaking effects prevail in the liquids. Furthermore, the thermodynamics of viscous flow and excess Gibbs energy of activation of viscous flow, G*^E, have been calculated. As an alternative and complementary approach to such investigations, the fluidity () of this binary system has been analyzed by the modified—Batschinski theory. The results are discussed in terms of the specific molecular interactions between the mixture components.     

Solubility of 1-Butene in Water and in a Medium for Cultivation of a Bacterial Strain

Solubility measurements of 1-butene in water, from 20 to 50°C and at atmospheric pressure, were carried out using a Ben-Naim/Baer-type apparatus. The experimental results have a precision of about ±0.3%. Using accurate thermodynamic relations, the Ostwald coefficients at the experimental conditions and at infinite dilution, the mole fractions of the dissolved gas at the gas partial pressure of 101.325 kPa and the Henry coefficients at the water vapor pressure were calculated. The mole fraction of dissolved gas were fitted to the Clarke, Glew, and Weiss equation and thermodynamic quantities, standard molar Gibbs energy, entropy, and enthalpy changes, for the process of transferring the 1-butene molecules from the gaseous to the water phase, were computed. Moreover, solubility measurements of 1-butene in an aqueous medium for the cultivation of Xanthobacter Py2 in the same temperature range were also performed at atmospheric pressure. These solubility data are approximately 2.6% lower than those observed in pure water.     

Temperature effect on the rate of formation of free radicals in CTAB-catalyzed decomposition of hydroperoxides

The temperature effect on the rate of the decomposition of hydroperoxides and the rate of the formation of free radicals in the oxidation of ethylbenzene with molecular oxygen in the presence of -phenylethyl hydroperoxide—cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a catalytic system for free radical generation was studied by kinetic methods (from the oxygen consumption and hydroperoxide decomposition rates) and the inhibition method involving different acceptors of free radicals.     

Ab initio MO study of potential energy surface of NH2 with CN reaction

An extensive quantum chemical study of the potential energy surfaces (PES) for the association reaction of NH₂ with CN and the subsequent isomerization and dissociation reactions has been carried out using density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP/6‐311++G(3df,2p) level of theory on both singlet and triplet states. The reaction mechanism on the triplet surface is more complicated than that on the singlet surface. A total of 19 isomers and 46 transition states have been identified and characterized on the triplet PES. Among them, IM2 (IM2a), IM3 (IM3a, IM3b), and IM10 are the lowest‐lying isomers with thermodynamic stability. Twenty available dissociation channels, depending on the different initial isomers, have been identified. On the singlet surface, only 12 isomers and 16 transition states have been found, and among them IM1(S) and IM2(S) are the lowest‐lying isomers. The higher isomerization and dissociation barriers on the singlet surface indicate that the addition and the subsequent reactions of NH₂+CN are most likely to occur on the triplet PES because of the lower barriers. A prediction can be made for the possible mechanism explaining the production of H+HNCN. Besides HNCN, other major products are NH+HCN and NH+HNC, which are produced by direct dissociation reactions from triplet IM2 and IM3, respectively. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The standard enthalpies of formation of some dibenzoannelated cycloalkanols

The heats of combustion of trans-9,10-bis-hydroxymethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene, trans-5-hydroxymethyl-5,6-dihydro-7H-dibenzo[a,c]cyclohepten-6-ol, 5-hydroxymethyl-5,6-dihydro-7H-di-benzo[a,c]cycloheptene, 6-hydroxymethyl-5,6-dihydro-7H-dibenzo[a,c]cycloheptene, 5H-dibenzo-[a,d]cyclohepten-5-ol and 5H-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-ol were measured by means of a Gallenkamp adiabatic bomb calorimeter. Uncertainties in the determination of the heats of combustion ranged between 0.2 and 0.3%. The enthalpies of formation and atomization for the six compounds were derived. The experimental values of the heats of atomization were compared with those calculated using the Allen–Skinner bond energy scheme. Conclusions about energetic contributions which stabilize the structure of the investigated compounds were drawn.     

Novel anti-inflammatory and wound healing controlled released LDH-Curcumin nanocomposite via intramuscular implantation,in-vivo study

One of the most common problems in wounds is delayed healing and complications such as infection. Therefore, the need for novel materials accelerates the healing of wounds especially abdominal wounds after surgery besides high efficiency and safety is mandatory. The rate of wound healing, anti-inflammatory and biocompatibility of Zn-Al LDH (Zn-Al layer double hydroxide) alone and loaded with Curcumin (Zn-Al LDH/Curcumin) was screened via in-vivo assays through intramuscular implantation in rat abdominal wall with intact peritoneum cavity. The implanted drugs were formed through Curcumin loaded into LDH of Zn-Al with drug release of 56.78 ± 1.51% within 24 h. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by (TGA/DTA) thermal analysis, (XRD) X-ray diffraction, (FESEM) Field emission scanning electron microscopy, (HRTEM) high resolution transmission electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and low-temperature N₂ adsorption, pore volume and average pore size distribution. The integrity of blood circulation, inflammatory signs, wound healing rate, capacity of tissue integration, antigenicity and composite biocompatibility, auto fluorescence ability of collagen bundles and the tensile strength of the muscle were assessed histopathologically after 7 and 30 days’ post-implantation. Excellent wound healing ability was achieved with shortest length between the wound gap edges and higher tensile strength of the muscle. Besides emit florescence very well followed by good healing and tensile muscles strength in Curcumin while very low strength with scar formation in Zn-Al LDH/Curcumin in both acute and chronic wound. No signs of inflammation in Curcumin & Zn-Al LDH. No vessels obstruction or bleeding observed in both Zn-Al LDH and Curcumin more than Zn-Al LDH/Curcumin and control which examined through candling. Good healing & infiltrated immune cells in same groups through histopathological examination. This work supports the anti-inflammatory, wound healing and biocompatibility of both LDH and Curcumin with living matter, increasing their biomedical applications in this era with safety and increasing efficacy with prolonged drug release.     

A new theoretical approach to the empirical resonance energies of the aromatic hydrocarbons

In the framework of the Hückel MO approximation, the differences in total binding energy between a given molecule and the corresponding distorted Kekulé-type structure are calculated for a variety of benzenoid hydrocarbons. The total binding energy is assumed to be given by the sum of the -electron and -electron binding energies. It is shown that there is a good linear relationship between the calculated differences in total binding energy and the -electron delocalization energies (DE) as obtained by using the simple Hückel MO method. This provides a physical basis for the use of the -electron DE as a theoretical index to the empirical resonance energy (RE). Further, by examining the changes in -electron binding energy between a given molecule and the corresponding distorted Kekulé-type structure, it is concluded that in benzenoid hydrocarbons the main contributor to the RE is not the -electron DE but the compressional energy of bonds.
