ZrO2在Cu-ZnO-ZrO2甲醇水蒸汽重整制氢催化剂中的作用

通过对一系列Cu-ZnO-ZrO2甲醇水蒸汽重整(SRM)催化剂的XRD、TEM和BET表征及催化性能测定,研究催化剂中ZrO2对催化剂粒径、比表面以及对SRM反应性能的影响.结果表明,ZrO2的加入,使催化剂的粒径从15 nm降至10 nm（其中CuO和ZnO的平均粒径分别从7.7和10.4 nm降至3.9和8.7 nm）,BET比表面从60 m2•g－1增至78 m2•g－1.随着催化剂含ZrO2量不同,甲醇的转化率和H2、CO2的选择性均产生变化,当催化剂中Zr含量为24.0％(w),反应温度为220 ℃,水、醇摩尔比为1.3时,甲醇的转化率达到51.6％, H2和CO2的选择性达到100％(CO和CH4在产物气体中的体积分数小于10－4),这一结果对甲醇燃料电池甲醇重整器的应用具有重要的意义.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of [SiMe2(C5H4)2][(C5Me5) Zr(μ-S)]2. a dinuclear zirconocenophane complex with a skewed dimethylsilyl-bridged bis(cyclopentadienyl) ligand

The reaction of [SiMe₂(C₅H₄)₂][(C₅Me₅)ZrMe₂]₂ with H₂S at 110°C proceeds with the formation of [SiMe₂(C₅H₄)₂][(C₅Me₅)Zr(-S)]₂]₂. The molecular structure of this dinuclear zirconocenophane compound features a non-planar four-membered Zr₂(-S)_{2 2} ring with two symmetrically-bridging sulfido groups. The bridging dimethylsilyl-bridged bis(cyclopentadienyl) ligand adopts a skewed orientation to accommodate the long Zr ... Zr separation of 3.611(1) Å. This compound crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P1 with refined lattice parameters ofa = 10.905(1) Å,b = 10.939(2) Å,c = 14.621(2) Å, = 106.32(1)°, = 91.25(1)°, = 111.25(1)°,V = 1545.1(8) ų, _calc. = 1.512g/cm³,Z=2. Full-matrix refinement converged with final discrepancy indices of R(F _o = 0.045 andR(F _o) = 0.079 with GOF= 1.60 for 4403 data withF _o > 3(F _o).This paper is dedicated to Professor Larry Dahl, a valued friend and mentor, on the occasion of his 65th birthday and in recognition of his significant fundamental contributions to the field of metal cluster chemistry. May the Goddess Fortuna continue to bring distinction and honor to him and his research endeavors.     

New organosols of nickel sulfides,palladium sulfides,manganese sulfide,and mixed metal sulfides and their use in preparation of semiconducting polymer-metal sulfide composites

Organosols of NiS, PdS, and MnS in N,N-dimethylformamide were prepared by reaction of the metal acetate with H₂S. Organosols of mixed-metal sulfides (Zn _x Cd_1–x S, Hg _x Cd_1–x S, Hg _x Cu_1–x S, Cd _x Mn_1–x S, Hg _x Mn_1–x S, Hg _x Cd_1–x S, and Mn _x Zn_1–x S) were similarly obtained by reaction of mixtures of the metal salts with H₂S. The organosol of Zn_0.5Cd_0.5S contained particle with two particle size distributions centered at 6.5 nm and 29 nm, as revealed by Ar laser-scattering analysis. The metal sulfides are recovered by addition of Et₂O to the organosols. Zn _x Cd_1–x S thus obtained shows magnetic susceptibility in the range 0.5×10^–6–2.3×10^–6 emug^–1 depending on thex value. Addition of polymers to the organosols affords semiconducting films of metal sulfide-polymer composites.

Association of model peptides and dehydropeptides: N-acetyl-l-alanine- and dehydroalanine N′,N′-dimethylamides

The comparative studies on the association of Ac-ΔAla-NMe₂ and Ac-l-Ala-NMe₂ in carbon tetrachloride were performed by the analysis of their average molecular weight, dipole moments and FTIR spectra. To aid spectroscopic interpretation and gain some deeper insight into the nature of associates, the geometries of the minimum energy of the dimers of Ac-ΔAla-NMe₂ and Ac-l-Ala-NMe₂ were calculated by the B3LYP/6-31+G** method. The average molecular weight in the studied concentration range, for the ΔAla and l-Ala peptide, as determined by the osmometric method, did not exceed 1.5 and 1.2 of the monomeric mass, respectively. Accordingly, the percentage of the monomeric form (α) decreased as concentration was increased more significantly for the ΔAla analogue than for its saturated counterpart. In the studied concentrations, the dipole moment of the unsaturated compound decreases and that of its counterpart is almost constant. We identified a wider range of dimeric forms of Ac-ΔAla-NMe₂ than those of Ac-l-Ala-NMe₂. While Ac-ΔAla-NMe₂ mainly forms cyclic dimers, built of open conformers H/F, specific for α,β-dehydroamino acids, Ac-l-Ala-NMe₂ forms cyclic and linear dimers, characteristic for the usual amino acids. Ac-ΔAla-NMe₂ has a greater tendency to associate than its saturated variant, which is the result of stronger hydrogen bonds.

Structure formation and dynamics of water in strong external electric fields

We have performed molecular dynamics computer simulations of water in homogeneous external electric fields which were varied in a wide range of field strengths. The dielectric response is found to be linear up to fields E₀≈0.01 V/Å from where dielectric saturation effects become important. At fields of E₀≈3 V/Å a phase transition into an ordered, ice-like structure is observed, which is stabilized through hydrogen-bonds. With an increasing external electric field, the frequency spectrum of the water dynamics shows a remarkable red shift of the intramolecular modes and a blue shift of the librational motions, where the frequency varies quadratically with the field strength. A simple analytical model is discussed which reproduces the observed behavior.     

Sulfide oxygenation by tert-butyl hydroperoxide with mononuclear (Me3TACN)Mn catalysts

Mononuclear (Me₃TACN)MnX₃ compounds, where X is Cl⁻, Br⁻, or N₃⁻, and Me₃TACN is 1,4,7-N,N′,N″-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, have been tested for catalyzing both sulfide oxygenation and styrene epoxidation by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) and display turnover frequencies (TOF) up to 200 h⁻¹ at room temperature. Sulfoxides or sulfones may be produced selectively by varying reaction conditions. Product distribution from the oxygenation reactions of ethyl phenyl sulfide, 2-chloroethyl phenyl sulfide, and styrene is consistent with a mechanism involving an early single-electron transfer (SET) step.     

New tridentate cyclometalated platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes of N,2-diphenyl-8-quinolinamine: syntheses, crystal structures, and photophysical properties

A new tridentate cyclometalated platinum(II) complex derived from N,2-diphenyl-8-quinolinamine, which consists of two crystallographic independent molecules with two intermolecular N-H-Cl-Pt hydrogen bonds forming a dimer, exhibited a low-energy luminescence at ca. 740 nm in a 1 × 10⁻³ M dichloromethane solution and a strong emission centered at 670 nm in a solid state, but the analogous palladium(II) complex was nonemissive at room temperature.
