Synthesis of thiadiazabicyclane and bis-1,3,5-dithiazinane by cyclothiomethylation of aliphatic diamines with CH2O and H2S

Cyclocondensation of aliphatic diamines with CH₂O and H₂S (1:3:2 ratio, 0 °C) was carried out to give thiadiazabicyclanes and dithiadiazabicyclanes (1:6:4 ratio), which were previously difficult to synthesize. Symmetric α,ω-bis-1,3,5-dithiazinanes were synthesized at 80 °C by this reaction. The stereochemistry of thiadiazabicyclanes was assigned by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and by theoretical DFT calculations, and of bis-dithiazinanes by X-ray diffraction study in the solid state.     

Ab initio study on the adsorption and oxidation of HCHO with Ag2 cluster

We present an ab initio study on the adsorption and oxidation of HCHO on the Ag₂ dimer. HCHO is found to weakly adsorb on the neutral Ag₂ cluster and the adsorption energy increases when the Ag₂ cluster is positively charged. The adsorption of HCHO on Ag₂ is promoted by pre-adsorbed OH species while coadsorbed H has no effect. The formation of η²-methylendioxy is inhibited if the Ag₂ cluster is positively and properly charged, which enhance the selectivity of the partial oxidation of methanol. These results provide insight into the reaction mechanism of HCHO on silver surfaces and may guide the design of novel catalysts.     

Performance of a 2,4-DNPH coated annular denuder/HPLC system for formaldehyde monitoring in air

Summary The performance of annular denuders coated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine for collection of atmospheric HCHO has been evaluated by HPLC/UV analysis of samples coming from laboratory tests and field experiments. A number of parameters, such as collection efficiency at varying air humidity, detection limit, operative capacity and temporal self-consistency have been investigated to optimize the denuder behaviour under different weather conditions and to obtain short-term concentration profiles of HCHO. Deviations between measurements made simultaneously by the DNPH denuder method and differential optical absorption spectrometry (DOAS) have been found to average approximately 30% in the 0–5 ppb HCHO concentration range.

Kinetic wavelength-pair method as an alternative approach to simultaneous multi-component analysis

The kinetic wavelength-pair method involves adapting a well established principle to the simultaneous kinetic-based determination of two or more compounds with diode-array detection. It relies on measuring the difference in the rate of change of the absorbance with time at two preset wavelength pairs such that the values of these measuring parameters are the result of the contribution of one or two components. The theoretical basis adapted to first-order kinetic-based determinations was established and checked on four systems. The method thus developed was compared with other differential kinetic methods and applied to the resolution of formaldehyde-acrolein mixtures.     

Br?nsted酸性离子液体催化缩醛化反应合成聚甲氧基二烷基醚

聚甲氧基二烷基醚(RO(CH2O)nR)具有高的十六烷值(CN)和含氧量,能显著改善柴油的燃烧特性,有效提高热效率,大幅减少碳烟和NOx排放,被认为是一种优良的环保型燃油组分.随着–R基碳链的增长,CN值、热值和闪点逐渐增大,密度和冷凝点逐渐降低.同时,该类化合物具有优异的溶解及渗透性能,能与许多有机溶剂互溶,低毒,可以用作溶剂或颜料分散剂.近年来,聚甲氧基二甲基醚(CH3O(CH2O)nCH3,PODEn,DMMn)的制备及应用研究受到广泛关注,而对封端基团(–R)碳数大于1的多醚类化合物的研究鲜有文献报道.本文以Br?nsted酸性离子液体为催化剂,对甲醛和二乙氧基甲烷或脂肪醇(碳数 ≥2)缩醛化反应制备聚甲氧基二烷基醚的反应性能进行了研究,考察了离子液体结构和酸性对其催化性能的影响.结果表明,–SO3H功能化的离子液体[MIMBs]HSO4在催化三聚甲醛与二乙氧基甲烷的缩醛化反应中表现出最好的催化活性.考察了催化剂用量、原料配比、反应温度、反应压力和反应时间等因素对反应性能的影响,并得到了最佳反应条件,在n([MIMBs]HSO4):n(DEM1):n(HCHO)=1:80:80,140°C下反应4 h,甲醛转化率达到了92.6%,DEM2–8选择性为95.1%.考察了不同甲醛源(三聚甲醛和多聚甲醛)与提供封端基团化合物(二乙氧基甲烷、乙醇、丙醇和丁醇)的缩醛化反应.结果发现,在反应过程中不生成水或不引入水的条件下,具有更高的反应转化率和产物选择性.分别采用静置分层和萃取实现了催化剂的分离与重复使用.推测反应机理认为,三聚甲醛首先在氢键作用下分解生成甲醛单体,甲醛和二乙氧基甲烷通过碳正离子反应机理实现了DEMn的链增长.

Exposure to airborne formaldehyde: Sampling and analytical methods—A review

Air monitoring is the quantitative-qualitative assessment of the extent of pollutants. It is performed to ensure compliance with legislation and to evaluate control measures and mitigation solutions. There are numerous approaches to measure airborne formaldehyde (FA), ranging from passive sampling techniques to remote sensing devices. Research of sampling procedures and analytical methods was performed in a scientific database and on the web to offer a scenario of the devices and techniques that can be used to assess FA exposure. Moreover, in the design of FA assessment, some crucial aspects were considered, such as standard atmosphere generation for devices calibration. This review summarizes the tools and basics used in FA air monitoring, useful to organize a functional monitoring strategy for assessment of FA concentration levels. An insight into the sampling and analysis of FA is provided. Recent advances in solid sorbent technology allow analysts to use these devices coupled to chromatographic instruments. A comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of analytical methods (gas-/liquid-chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry or UV detection, chromogenic, colorimetric, electrochemical determination) and sampling devices (impregnated papers, solid sorbents, liquid sorbents, bubblers, impingers, micro-impingers, denuder samplers, sealed bags, canisters) methods are illustrated. This survey found that a monitoring strategy should be planned considering the most appropriate methodology in terms of costs and practicability. Therefore, it is necessary to know the aspects that can make the chosen strategy suitable and valid for the exposure scenario under investigation.

New biocidal metal complexes of bisphenol-A formaldehyde polymer containing piperazine

The polymeric ligand (BFP) was synthesized by condensation of bisphenol-A, formaldehyde, and piperazine in alkaline medium at 70–80°C. The polymer–metal complexes were synthesized by the reaction of BFP with Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) acetates in 1?:?0.5 (ligand?:?metal) molar ratio. All the synthesized polymers were characterized by elemental, spectral (infrared, ¹H-NMR, and UV-Vis), magnetic moment measurements, and thermal (TGA) analysis. The ligand-field and nephelauxetic parameters have been determined from UV-Vis spectra using ligand-field theory. Elemental analyses indicate the association of water with metal for Mn(II), Co(II), and Ni(II), which is also supported by TGA. The antimicrobial activities of the synthesized polymers were studied by agar well diffusion methods against Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Shigella boydii. The antimicrobial activity and thermal stability of Cu(II)–polymer were higher than the other polymer–metal complexes due to the higher stability constant of Cu(II).
