[1ChCl∶2EG]/CrCl3·6H2O离子液体中Cr(Ⅲ)配合物的研究

利用电喷雾质谱(ESI-MS)和紫外-可见吸收光谱(UV-Vis)分析,研究了CrCl₃·6H₂O 浓度为0.1～0.6 mol·L-1的水溶液和[1ChCl∶2EG]/CrCl₃·6H₂O ILs中,Cr(Ⅲ)配合物的存在形式。研究结果表明,在含有CrCl₃·6H₂O的溶液中,Cr(Ⅲ)与Cl-和H₂O形成[Cr(H₂O)_nCl_6-n]n-3配合物,其配合物的优势物种受CrCl₃·6H₂O浓度的影响。水溶液中Cr(Ⅲ) 的优势配合物为[Cr(H₂O)₆]3+与[Cr(H₂O)₅Cl]2+,并随CrCl₃·6H₂O浓度增加,水溶液的UV-Vis吸收光谱峰红移,[Cr(H₂O)₅Cl]2+的相对含量增加。而[1ChCl∶2EG]/CrCl₃·6H₂O ILs中的优势配合物为[Cr(H₂O)₂Cl₄]-和[Cr(H₂O)₃Cl₃],且随CrCl₃·6H₂O 浓度增加,溶液的颜色从浅橙红色逐渐变为深绿色,溶液的UV-Vis吸收光谱峰蓝移,[Cr(H₂O)₃Cl₃]的相对量增加。说明CrCl₃·6H₂O的浓度变化,将影响配体Cl-和H₂O与Cr(Ⅲ)配位结合的配位数,从而影响配合物优势物种的相对量。     

Variational extension of the mean spherical approximation to arbitrary dimensions

We generalize a variational principle for the mean spherical approximation for a system of charged hard spheres in 3D to arbitrary dimensions. We first construct a free energy variational trial function from the Debye-Hückel excess charging internal energy at a finite concentration and an entropy obtained at the zero-concentration limit by thermodynamic integration. In three dimensions the minimization of this expression with respect to the screening parameter leads to the mean spherical approximation, usually obtained by solution of the Ornstein-Zernike equation. This procedure, which interpolates naturally between the zero concentration/coupling limit and the high-concentration/ coupling limit, is extended to arbitrary dimensions. We conjecture that this result is also equivalent to the MSA as originally defined, although a technical proof of this point is left for the future. The Onsager limitT ΔS ^MSA /ΔE ^MSA → 0 for infinite concentration/coupling is satisfied for all d ≠ 2, while ford=2 this limit is 1.

Effect of cylinder electrode arrangement on the ionic wind properties of needle–cylinder electrodes

Needle–cylinder electrodes designed to generate ionic wind have been explored experimentally. The increase of the gap distance between needle and cylinder from 4 mm to 16 mm cause an increase of the ionic wind velocity from 1.1 m/s to 2.46 m/s. The opposite behavior was observed when this distance lengthened from 18 to 28 mm. At the same time, a step voltage was used to increase the ionic wind velocity up to 3.6 m/s. These results indicate that electrode arrangement is very important to maximize the ionic wind velocity.     

Investigation of the relationship between the ionic conductivity and the local structures of singly and doubly doped ceria compounds using EXAFS measurement

The oxide ionic conductivity measurements of singly and doubly doped ceria compounds were carried out. Singly and doubly doped ceria used in this study were Ce_0.8Ln_0.2O_1.9 (Ln=Y, Sm, Nd, or La) and Ce_0.8La_0.1Y_0.1O_1.9, respectively. Lattice constants of these compounds were in proportion to the ionic radius of the dopant(s). The doubly doped ceria compound showed oxide ionic conductivity comparative to the average of that of each corresponding singly doped sample. This finding indicates that the conductivity is influenced by both dopants in the doubly doped compounds. The extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) study showed that the coordination number of oxide ions at the nearest neighbor of cation was related to the ionic conductivity. It was found that the conductivity gave the highest value when oxygen vacancies were randomly distributed in the lattice. This indicates that the local structure seriously affects oxide ionic conduction in singly and doubly doped ceria compounds.     

The fundamental features and characteristics of discharge and plasma ion sources

An analysis of some of the fundamental and special physical processes occurring in discharge and plasma ion sources is presented.

The main purpose of the lecture is to present to the users of ion sources some key elements of information, of which not all may be generally recognised and which hopefully will be of value for a better understanding of the operational problems related to the complex behaviour of discharge and plasma ion sources.     

Electron Spin Resonance Study on Grafting of Tetrafluoroethylene onto Polyethylene

An ESR study has been made on the course of grafting of tetrafluoroethylene onto polyethylene. Alkyl and allyl radicals trapped in the polymers were measured under various grafting conditions. It was observed that alkyl radicals decay very rapidly when monomers are in contact with the irradiated polymer, while allyl radicals decay very slowly even in the presence of monomers as in the decay of radicals in irradiated polymers without monomers. The effect of pre-irradiation temperature on grafting was also studied, and the rate of grafting was found to be much faster for lower pre-irradiation temperatures. From these experimental results it was concluded that alkyl radicals play an important Tole in the initiation reaction of grafting.

Thermodynamics of AOT Micelle Formation in Ethylammonium Nitrate

AOT micelle formation in ethylammonium nitrate (an ionic liquid) was investigated by surface tension measurement in this article and the critical micelle concentrations (cmc) of AOT in ethylammonium nitrate at different temperatures were obtained. The thermodynamic parameters of micelle formation were obtained according to the two-phase thermodynamic model. The results suggested that the micelle formation of AOT in ethylammonium nitrate was a spontaneous, endothermal and entropy-increasing process.     

Ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate: an attractive solvent for native chemical ligation of peptides

The ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C₂mim][OAc]) was successfully used as alternative solvent for native chemical ligation of peptide fragments to produce model peptide LYRAXCRANK (X = G, A, L, N, Q, K, and F). The commonly used buffer system including thiol additives such as thiophenol and benzyl mercaptan can be replaced by the nontoxic ionic liquid [C₂mim][OAc]. In addition to improving the solubility of the peptides in [C₂mim][OAc], yields and rates of the ligation reactions were found to be efficiently enhanced.
