Chromium(V) Oxide Trichloride,and some Pentachlorido‐­oxido‐chromate(V) Salts: Structures and Spectroscopic ­Characterization

Crystalline CrOCl₃ contains [Cl₂OCr(μ‐Cl)₂CrOCl₂] molecules with two square pyramidal CrOCl₄ units sharing a common edge and with the Cr–O arranged anti, a new structure type for transition metal MOX₃ compounds. Crystals are monoclinic with space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, with a = 5.735(5), b = 13.738(7), c = 11.318(4) Å, α = 90°, β = 98.346(6)°, γ = 90°. Its IR and UV/Vis spectra are reported and compared with those of the C_3v monomer found in the gas phase. Structures are also reported for M₂[CrOCl₅] (M = Cs or Rb) and show a pseudo‐octahedral anion. Cs₂[CrOCl₅] adopts a K₂PtCl₆‐type structure with [CrOCl₅]^2– ions randomly orientated, but Rb₂[CrOCl₅] is orthorhombic with space group Pnma with a = 13.6471(7), b = 9.9175(5), and c = 6.9562(4) Å. Rietveld refinement of the data on the rubidium salt gave Cr–O = 1.628(1), Cr–Cl_transO = 2.652(7), Cr–Cl_transCl = 2.239(8)–2.342(3) Å. Corresponding Cr^V oxide bromide species do not form.     

Molecular Dynamics in 1- and 2-D Confinement as Studied for the Case of Poly(Cis-1,4-Isoprene)

Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS) is used to probe the molecular dynamics of Type A polymer, poly(cis-1,4-isoprene), when confined in the 1-dimensional (1D) exploring space of thin layers and the 2-dimensional (2D) constraining geometry of unidirectional anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanopores. For both cases, it was observed that the structural relaxation remains bulk-like in its mean relaxation rate, although the distribution of its relaxation times is broadened in 2D confinement. Furthermore, the fluctuation of the end-to-end vector is interrupted, with the 1D case being relatively less pronounced. By this clear-cut comparison, it is demonstrated that the effects of confinement on molecular dynamics depend, inter alia, on the dimensionality of the restricting space.     

原位漫反射傅里叶变换红外光谱研究锰铁基催化剂上低温选择性催化还原反应机理简

采用自蔓延燃烧法制备了Ti_0.9Mn_0.05Fe_0.05O_2-δ催化剂,运用原位漫反射傅里叶变换红外光谱对该催化剂的NO和NH₃稳态吸附以及NO和NH₃瞬态反应进行了详细地分析与讨论. 结果表明,相比于Lewis酸性位,150℃时Brönsted酸性位吸附的NH₃更具有SCR活性;与双齿硝酸盐和桥式硝酸盐相比,NO吸附产生的单齿硝酸盐是主要的中间物种;该SCR反应遵循Eley-Rideal和Langmuir-Hinshelwood机理,但以后者为主. 另外,O₂的存在有利于NO的氧化和配位态NH₃的活化.

Choline chloride – Urea deep eutectic solvent an efficient media for the preparation of metal nanoparticles

Metal nanoparticles are nanosized structures that have different potential applications in biological, chemical, medical, and agricultural fields because of their exotic characteristics. Their size ranges from 1 to 100 nm. Metal nanoparticles are either purer forms of metals (eg: Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron, etc.) or their compounds (eg: sulfides, hydroxides, oxides, etc.). Ionic liquids are generally used in the extraction of nanoparticles but they are challenging because of their indigent bio-degradability, bio-compatibility, and sustainability. So Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) is reported as an alternative to ionic liquids in the formation of nanoparticles. The DESs are a complex of quaternary ammonium salts and hydrogen donors or metal salt. DESs contain higher non-symmetric ions which have lower lattice energy and hence they have a lower melting point. This research utilizes a novel DES (choline chloride – urea) as an effective solvent to produce mercuric sulfide (HgS), zirconium oxide (ZrO), manganese oxide (MnO), and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles. As a result, the production of these metal nanoparticles using Choline Chloride (C₅H₁₄ClNO) – Urea DES can be treated as a promising way in chemical manufacturing. The nanoparticles have been analyzed using Ultra Violet Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDAX).     

Heterostructured composite of NiFe-LDH nanosheets with Ti4O7 for oxygen evolution reaction

Developing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst based on earth-abundant materials holds great promise for ascertaining water-splitting to surmount its deprived kinetics. In this regard, NiFe-LDH (layered double hydroxide) receives considerable attention owing to their layered structure. However, they still suffer from poor electronic conductivity and structural stability. We combined NiFe-LDH nanosheets with Magnéli phase Ti₄O₇ into a heterostructured composite. A series of analyses reveal that decorating Ti₄O₇ facilitates charge transfer to enhance the conductivity of NiFe-LDH-Ti₄O₇. During electrochemical measurement, Ni²⁺ is transformed to metastable Ni³⁺ (Ni (OH)→ NiOOH) before the OER onset potential. Thus, the presence of Ni³⁺ as the main active sites could improve the chemisorption of OH^? to facilitate OER. As a result, the NiFe-LDH-Ti₄O₇ catalyst delivers as low as onset potential (1.43 V). Combining the holey structure (NiFe-LDH and Ti₄O₇) and the defect engineering generated on NiFe-LDH-Ti₄O₇ as a synergistic effect improves the OER performance. The inclusion of Ti₄O₇ in the composite leads to more vacancy sites, as evidenced by the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis. The obtained defective structure with a low coordination environment would improve the electronic conductivity and facilitate the adsorption process of H₂O onto metal cations, thereby increasing the intrinsic catalytic activity of NiOOH. The strong coupling of NiFe-LDH and Ti₄O₇ also increases the stability, and the heterostructured composite helps maintain the structural robustness of the LDH.
