Evaluation of density functional theory in the bond rupture of octane

Density functional methods at the 6-31G* level are applied to the rupture of n-octane into methyl–heptyl, ethyl–hexyl, propyl–pentyl, and butyl–butyl radical fragments. The energetics of the radicals at UMP3, UMP2/6-31G*//UHF/6-31G* (hereafter referred to as UMP), are compared to UB3LYP/6-31G* results (referred to as UB). Although the UMP approach matches additivity energies to within 5 kcal/mol, it fails to mimic the overall energetic trend. The UB energies agree with additivity estimates and trends to within 1–2 kcal/mol and radical entropies deviate by only 2 e.u. from available experimental data. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

改性纳米HZSM-5沸石催化剂上C5～C8混合烷烃的芳构化反应

在小型固定床反应器上研究了水蒸气钝化及过渡金属(Ni,Co,Cu,Zn)改性对调变纳米HZSM-5沸石催化剂上C5~C8混合烷烃芳构化反应的作用.采用NH3-TPD和Py-FT-IR方法表征了改性催化剂的表面酸性质,并与其催化芳构化性能进行了关联.结果表明,在450℃下进行水蒸气钝化能显著提高催化剂的芳构化选择性,减少甲烷和乙烷等低碳烷烃的生成;催化剂进一步用锌盐或铜盐溶液浸渍改性,可以显著提高催化剂的抗积炭失活能力.这是由于水蒸气钝化能适当减少沸石表面的酸量,降低酸强度,而铜、锌改性可进一步减少B酸中心,增加L酸中心,并与B酸中心协同作用形成具有脱氢活性的催化中心,从而影响混合烷烃的活化方式与芳构化路径.     

利用富含木质素的稻草低温重组制备生物石油

在构成秸秆类生物质的三大天然高分子结构中,只有木质素的碳氢氧比(1∶1.3∶0.3)与天然石油的碳氢氧的比(1∶1.6∶0.05)比较接近.本文通过弱酸酸解和纤维素酶酶解对原稻草样品进行前处理,分别除去了92.5%的半纤维素和72%的纤维素,得到富含木质素(36%)的样品,然后在320℃和10MPa的条件下低温重组制备汽、柴油馏份油,即"生物石油".与稻草低温重组制备的生物石油相比,长链烷烃的含量(32.85%)大大提高,而醛酮酸等含氧酸的含量(4.37%)大幅度降低,使油的组分更加集中于芳香类化合物和长链烷烃,从而有利于生物石油进一步的分离,制备高价值的汽、柴油产品.     

Synthesis and reactivity of bis(cycloamidinium-2-yl)alkane bromide tribromides,brominating agents and tectons for molecular engineering

Bis(cycloamidine-2-yl)alkanes easily form bromide tribromide salts in the reduction-oxidation processes with bromine. Bis(tetrahydroimidazolium-2-yl)ethane and bis(hexahydropyrimidinium-2-yl)-ethane bromide tribromides are such new convenient brominating agents for aromatic amides in chemo- and regioselective electrophilic substitutions and α-bromination reactions.

Synthesis and Spectral and Electrochemical Characterization of Novel Substituted 1,4-Naphthoquinone Derivatives

The novel substituted 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives were synthesized from the reactions of (1) and related nucleophilles in sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) solution of ethanol, chloroform with Et₃N, or potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) solution of acetonitrile. The structures of novel compounds were characterized by using microanalysis, Fourier transform–infrared, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, mass spectrometry, and cyclic voltammetry (CV).

Fully atomistic molecular‐mechanical model of liquid alkane oils: Computational validation

Fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations were performed on liquid n‐pentane, n‐hexane, and n‐heptane to derive an atomistic model for middle‐chain‐length alkanes. All simulations were based on existing molecular‐mechanical parameters for alkanes. The computational protocol was optimized, for example, in terms of thermo‐ and barostat, to reproduce properly the properties of the liquids. The model was validated by comparison of thermal, structural, and dynamic properties of the normal alkane liquids to experimental data. Two different combinations of temperature and pressure coupling algorithms were tested. A simple differential approach was applied to evaluate fluctuation‐related properties with sufficient accuracy. Analysis of the data reveals a satisfactory representation of the hydrophobic systems behavior. Thermodynamic parameters are close to the experimental values and exhibit correct temperature dependence. The observed intramolecular geometry corresponds to extended conformations domination, whereas the intermolecular structure demonstrates all characteristics of liquid systems. Cavity size distribution function was calculated from coordinates analysis and was applied to study the solubility of gases in hexane and heptane oils. This study provides a platform for further in‐depth research on hydrophobic solutions and multicomponent systems. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Additive Schemes for Calculating the Properties of Alkane Conformers Including Interdependent Bond Rotation. I. Enthalpy

A technique is suggested for evaluating the properties of alkane conformers using the parameters of internal rotation of interdependent C-C bonds. To determine the mean conformational composition of a rotational equilibrium mixture of alkane conformers, one need not exhaust the latter because the contribution of the conformation energy to alkane enthalpy can be expressed in terms of the product of tensors with further convolution over indices.     

Microcalorimetric determination of enthalpies of solution of methyl alkanes in glacial acetic acid

An empirical equation H _{s, m}=0.84n gives the enthalpy of solution of 30 branched, linear and cyclic alkanes in glacial acetic acid. The parametern is an effective carbon number which expresses the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain plus one half of the pendant methyl groups.
