HPLC of synthetic polymers characterization of polystyrenes by high performance precipitation liquid chromatography (HPPLC)

Summary The advantages and disadvantages of high performance precipitation liquid chromatography have been demonstrated for polystyrene homopolymers. Depending on the mobile phase composition at the dissolution point of the polymeric sample and surface properties of the stationary phase, elution is governed either by a solution process or by adsorption. A contribution by adsorption was noticed on silica as well as on reversed phases based on silica with a normal phase gradient of increasing polarity (heptane to dichloromethane). Elution was solely governed by solubility of the polymers on both types of stationary phase for polystyrenes with a molecular weight above 35 000 and reversed phase gradient of decreasing polarity (methanol to dichloromethane). Under these conditions an identical dependence of elution solvent composition on sample size was found as for turbidity titrations. Due to differences in the velocity of the eluent front and the polymeric sample with porous stationary phases the polymers can be eluted as colloidal solutions Non-porous stationary phases are superior in this respect because the velocities of eluent and solutes are identical.     

焙烧条件对浆态床CO甲烷化Ni-Al2O3催化剂性能的影响

结合行星式球磨机,采用机械化学法制备Ni-Al₂O₃催化剂,考察了焙烧温度和焙烧时间对Ni-Al₂O₃催化剂晶相结构、还原特征、孔道结构和浆态床CO甲烷化性能的影响。通过XRD、H₂-TPR、BET、XPS和TPH等方法对反应前后催化剂进行表征。结果表明,焙烧温度从350℃升高到700℃,活性前体NiO仍在载体表面高度分散,催化剂还原峰温向高温方向偏移。其中,450℃条件下焙烧所获得的cat-450试样比表面积最大,为350 m²/g。评价结果显示,焙烧温度从350℃升高到700℃,CO转化率、CH₄选择性和收率均呈先升高后降低的趋势,于450℃达到最大值,分别为97.8%、88.2%和86.2%。另外,焙烧时间对催化剂的还原性能影响较小,对载体Al₂O₃的晶相结构有一定影响。随焙烧时间延长,CO转化率稍有降低,而后增大;焙烧时间为4 h,CH₄选择性和收率均较大。     

Fe/Ti-PILC用于C_3H_6选择性催化还原NO的研究

采用二氧化钛对蒙脱土进行柱撑改性后,以离子交换法制备了铁负载二氧化钛柱撑蒙脱土催化剂Fe/Ti-PILC,考察了其在富氧条件下催化C_3H_6选择性还原NO(C_3H_6-SCR)的性能。并借助N_2等温吸附-脱附、XRD、UV-vis、H_2-TPR、Py-FTIR等表征方法研究了催化剂的结构与性能之间的关系。结果表明,所制备的19Fe/Ti-PILC催化剂在400℃时即可实现到NO的完全脱除,N2选择性能够达到90%以上。且具有较好的抗水蒸气和抗SO_2的能力。N_2吸附-脱附和XRD结果显示,蒙脱土的结构被撑开,交联柱撑有效,形成了较大的比表面积和孔体积。UV-vis结果表明,催化剂的脱硝活性与铁氧低聚物种FexOy的含量有关,Py-FTIR结果表明,催化剂表面同时存在Lewis酸和Brnsted酸,Fe~(3+)负载到柱撑黏土中能够显著增加Lewis酸的含量,Lewis酸是影响催化剂脱硝活性的影响因素之一。H_2-TPR表征表明,催化剂在400℃左右有较强的还原能力,催化剂的还原能力主要体现为Fe~(3+)→Fe~(2+)的还原。     

Surface modified SPIONs‐Cr(VI) ions‐immobilized organic‐inorganic hybrid as a magnetically recyclable nanocatalyst for rapid synthesis of polyhydroquinolines under solvent‐free conditions at room temperature

In this work, a magnetic hybrid dichromate nanocomposite with triphenylphosphine surface modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) as a recyclable nanocatalyst was designed, prepared and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) spectra, X‐ray diffraction (XRD) pattern analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) curves, X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis. Then, it was used in a green and efficient procedure for one‐pot multicomponent synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives by the condensation of aldehydes, dimedone or 1,3‐cyclohexadione, ethyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate. This protocol includes some new and exceptional advantages such as short reaction times, low catalyst loading, high yields, solvent‐free and room temperature conditions, easy separation and reusability of the catalyst.

1H NMR study of the kinetics of substituted aniline polymerization. II. Copolymerization of 2‐methoxyaniline and 3‐aminobenzenesulfonic acid

We investigated the kinetics of the oxidative chemical copolymerization of 2‐methoxyaniline (OMA) and 3‐aminobenzenesulfonic acid (MA) by monitoring monomer depletion with ¹H NMR spectroscopy. We adapted a semiempirical kinetic model, previously used for OMA homopolymerization, for the consumption of both OMA and MA monomers with a large difference in their reactivities. The OMA polymerization rate and end conversion showed a similar dependence on the reaction conditions, as described in the first part of this series, for its homopolymerization. Generally, the MA comonomer had an inhibition effect on the OMA polymerization rate. However, an increase in the initial MA concentration resulted in an increased OMA initiation rate. Because of the higher reactivity of OMA compared with that of MA, the OMA conversion began before the MA conversion, and both the initiation and propagation rates were higher than those for MA. The molar ratios of the converted monomers (MA/OMA) were always significantly lower than the corresponding MA/OMA feed fractions. They depended on the reaction conditions used for the copolymerization. In particular, higher oxidant or MA concentrations, higher temperatures, and a 1 M DCl concentration favored MA conversion, that is, its insertion into the copolymer. The MA end conversion was much smaller than that of OMA, only up to 23%; for a low oxidant concentration (oxidant/monomer‐deficient molar ratio), it was only 6%. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Silica gel-mediated hydrohalogenation of unactivated alkenes using hydrohalogenic acids under organic solvent-free conditions

Silica gel-mediated hydrochlorination of unactivated alkenes using 35% hydrochloric acid under organic solvent-free conditions proceeded to give the corresponding chlorides in good yields. Hydrobromination or hydriodination using 47% hydrobromic acid or 55% hydriodic acid afforded the corresponding halides, respectively. Silica gel could be recycled five times without any significant loss of activities.

A new approach to synthesis of thiosulfonates has been developed under mild conditions without any oxidants and promoting reagents through a Pd/ZrO₂ nanocomposite photocatalyst catalyzed decomposition of sulfonyl hydrazides. This protocol gave the products in moderate yields, comparable to the best results reported so far. Finally, a plausible reaction mechanism was proposed.     

Heterofullerenes: Structure and property predictions,possible uses and synthesis proposals

Summary Substituting carbon atoms of fullerenes by heteroatoms and vacancies will lead to new and yet unknown spherical-shaped molecules termed hereafter as heterofullerenes. The enormous structural diversity of these molecules is investigated and their structural, electronic and thermochemical properties are predicted using semiempirical computations. Computational results for complexes with ions lead to the hypothesis that these molecules behave like microscopic Faraday cages in which the electrons concentrate on the outer side of the sphere. It is predicted that some of these heterofullerenes are structurally and electronically similar to phthalocyanines and related molecules but offer many additional advantages. Potential uses such as adding heterofullerenes to fullerene materials, as superior starting materials for the fabrication of diamonds, as catalysts in hydrogenation reactions, as components of materials dominated until now by phthalocyanines, etc., are discussed. Simple synthetic routes to these compounds that are based on minor alternations of existing methods for fullerene production are proposed. On the basis of the thermochemical calculations, we believe that the most promising possibility consists of using metal cyanide/graphite composite target rods instead of pure graphite rods as in a conventional fullerene synthesis.
