Thermal properties of rare earth elements complexes with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid

Summary Rare earth elements 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylates were prepared as solids of the general formula Ln(C₉H₃O₆)·nH₂O, where n=6 for La-Dy and n=4 for Ho-Lu,Y. Their solubilities in water at 293 K are of the order 10^-4-10^-6 mol dm^-3. The IR spectra of the complexes indicate that the carboxylate groups are bridging and bidentate chelates. Hydrated 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylates lose water molecules during heating in one step (La-Tb), two steps (Y, Ho-Tm) or three steps (Dy, Yb, Lu). The anhydrous complexes are stable up to 573-742 K and decompose to oxides (Ce-Lu) at higher temperatures.     

Ring-Opening Copolymerization of 2,2-Dimethyltrimethylene Carbonate and ε-Caprolactone Using Rare Earth Aryloxides Substituted by Various Alkyl Groups

A variety of single component rare earth aryloxides substituted by various alkyl groups [Ln(OAr)₃] such as methyl, isopropyl, tert‐butyl have been surveyed in the ring‐opening copolymerization of 2,2‐dimethyltrimethylene carbonate (DTC) and ε‐caprolactone (ε‐CL). It was worthwhile to note that activity of the catalyst varied with both the ligands' structure and the number of alkyl groups on phenyl ring. The stronger ability of electron‐donation of alkyl groups on phenyl ring, and the more numbers of alkyl groups on phenyl ring, the higher catalytic activity. The experimental results show that lanthanum tris(2,4,6‐tri‐tert‐butylphenolate) [La(OTTBP)₃] exhibits highest activity in all lanthanum aryloxides. ¹H NMR spectral data of copolymer obtained showed that the polymerization mechanism is in agreement with the coordination insertion mechanism.     

Theoretical study of lanthanide-based in vivo luminescent probes for detecting hydrogen peroxide

The 4f-4f emissions from lanthanide trication (Ln³⁺) complexes are widely used in bioimaging probes. The emission intensity from Ln³⁺ depends on the surroundings, and thus, the design of appropriate photo-antenna ligands is indispensable. In this study, we focus on two probes for detecting hydrogen peroxide, for which emission intensities from Tb³⁺ are enhanced chemo-selectively by the H₂O₂-mediated oxidation of ligands. To understand the mechanism, the Gibbs free energy profiles of the ground and excited states related to emission and quenching are computed by combining our approximation—called the energy shift method—and density functional theory. The different emission intensities are mainly attributed to different activation barriers for excitation energy transfer from the ligand-centered triplet (T1) to the Tb³⁺-centered excited state. Additionally, quenching from T1 to the ground state via intersystem crossing was inhibited by intramolecular hydrogen bonds only in the highly emissive Tb³⁺ complexes. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Tunable photoluminescence of NaYF4:Eu nanocrystals by Sr codoping

NaYF₄:Eu/Sr nanocrystals were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Tunable photoluminescence of the NaYF₄:Eu nanocrystals was successfully achieved by codoping with Sr²⁺ ions. With increasing Sr²⁺ concentration, not only the X-ray diffraction peaks of the nanocrystals become broader, but also the positions of them shift toward larger lattice parameters. Eu³⁺ and Eu²⁺ have been found to coexist in an NaYF₄:Eu/Sr. The Eu³⁺/Eu²⁺ emission intensity ratio changed with the Sr²⁺ concentration and excitation wavelength. More interestingly, the spectral configurations of Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ also varied with the excitation wavelength, indicating that the nanocrystals have multiple luminescence centers or emitting states.

Micellar Effects on Alkaline Hydrolysis of 3,5-Dinitro-2-chloro Benzotriflouride and 2,4-Dinitrochloro Benzene in Aqueous-Acetonitrile Mixtures

Reaction rate for alkaline hydrolysis of the substrates 3,5-dinitro-2-chloro benzotriflouride (DNCBTF) (1) at 30°C and 2,4-dinitrochloro benzene (DNCB) (2) at 50°C separetely with NaOH as nucleophile is carried out spectrophotometrically in mixed aqueous-acetonitrile solvents. In each system, cationic surfactant as dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (DoTAB), or anionic one as sodium dodecyle sulfate (SDS) is used in wide range of concentrations to study the effect of micelle on the reaction rate. The micellar effect is explained in term of modified pseudo phase ion exchange model. Pseudo first order rate constant, k_obs is obtained for each of the nucleophile and for both substrates 1 and 2 at all range of X_AN · k_obs at given [OH^?] and in presence of any substrate is found to increase with the increase of DoTAB,while decrease with the increase of SDS as micellar phases. Critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) in similar trend are observed to increase in DoTAB while decrease in SDS systems by increasing acetonitrile (AN) content. Micellar binding constant (K_S) between any type of given substrate and the formed micelle, is found to decrease in presence of DoTAB and increase in SDS micellar phases by increasing AN content. Finally, the ratios between pseudo first order rate constants for hydrolysis in micellar phase k_M to that in the bulk phase k_w for DoTAB and SDS systems are found to be greater than and smaller than unity respectively at any given X_AN where the data indicated for (1) is always higher than those for (2). The results concluded that micelle DoTAB is working as a catalyst for the reaction rate, while that for SDS is considered as an inhibitor.     

Chalcogeno-Morita-Baylis-Hillman Reaction of Chalcogenide-Enones with Carbonyl Compounds

Abstract

The Chalcogeno-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction was achieved by the reactions of 2-(methylchalcogeno)phenyl vinyl ketones with carbonyl compounds or acetals in the presence of BF₃· Et₂O. This reaction proceeds via the intramolecular Michael addition of the chalcogenide group to an enone moiety followed by the aldol reaction of the resulting chalcogenonio-enolate with an aldehyde. The reactions were worked up with triethylamine or saturated aqueous NaHCO₃ to give the α -methylene aldols (the Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts).

THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITIONS OF MINERALS IN QINGZHEN METEORITE AND ITS GEOCHEMISTRY SIGNIFICANCE

The chemical compositions of silicate minerals, sulphide minerals and metal Fe-Ni in theQingzhen meteorite were measured by the microprobe analyses. Based upon these chemicalcompositions, the cosmochemical behaviour and characteristics of the existing forms of themajor elements in the Qinzhen meteorite have been discussed. These characteristics show thatunder the S-rich, O-poor, and strongly reducing conditions, the light metal elements, such asCa, Mg, K, Na may form sulphide, and metal Fe-Ni may contain Si and P. However, we con-sider that the light metal-sulphide can be stable in the lower mantle and there are some Siand P in the Fe-Ni core. Finally, an earth core-mantle model is established, where the Fe-Ni core contains some Si and P; the lower mantle is composed of Mg-rich silicate, SiO_2 andsulphide; the upper mantle, of silicate and oxide.
