Identification of Hydroxyl on Ni(111)

Hydroxyl (OH) is identified and characterized on the Ni(111) surface by high‐resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. We find clear evidence of stretching, bending, and translational modes that differ significantly from modes observed for H₂O and O on Ni(111). Hydroxyl may be produced from water by two different methods. Annealing of water co‐adsorbed with atomic oxygen at 85 K to above 170 K leads to the formation of OH with simultaneous desorption of excess water. Pure water layers treated in the same fashion show no dissociation. However, the exposure of pure water to 20 eV electrons at temperatures below 120 K produces OH in the presence of adsorbed H₂O. In combination with temperature‐programmed desorption studies, we show that the OH groups recombine between 180 and 240 K to form O and immediately desorbing H₂O. The lack of influence of co‐adsorbed H₂O at 85 K on the O? H stretching mode indicates that OH does not participate in a hydrogen‐bonding network.     

Enhanced Catalytic Activity and Unexpected Products from the Oxidation of Cyclohexene by Organic Nanoparticles of 5,10,15,20‐Tetrakis‐(2,3,4,5,6‐pentafluorophenyl)porphyrinatoiron(III) in Water by Using O2

The catalytic oxidation of alkenes by most iron porphyrins using a variety of oxygen sources, but generally not dioxygen, yields the epoxide with minor quantities of other products. The turnover numbers for these catalysts are modest, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand depending on the porphyrin structure, axial ligands, and other reaction conditions. Halogenation of substituents increases the activity of the metalloporphyrin catalyst and/or makes it more robust to oxidative degradation. Oxidation of cyclohexene by 5,10,15,20‐tetrakis‐(2,3,4,5,6‐pentafluorophenyl)porphyrinato iron(III), ([Fe^III(tppf₂₀)]) and H₂O₂ is typical of the latter: the epoxide is 99 % of the product and turnover numbers are about 350. 1 – 4 Herein, we report that dynamic organic nanoparticles (ONPs) of [Fe^III(tppf₂₀)] with a diameter of 10 nm, formed by host–guest solvent methods, catalytically oxidize cyclohexene with O₂ to yield only 2‐cyclohexene‐1‐one and 2‐cyclohexene‐1‐ol with approximately 10‐fold greater turnover numbers compared to the non‐aggregated metalloporphyrin in acetonitrile/methanol. These ONPs facilitate a greener reaction because the reaction solvent is 89 % water and O₂ is the oxidant in place of synthetic oxygen sources. This reactivity is unexpected because the metalloporphyrins are in close proximity and oxidative degradation of the catalyst should be enhanced, thus causing a significant decrease in catalytic turnovers. The allylic products suggest a different oxidative mechanism compared to that of the solvated metalloporphyrins. These results illustrate the unique properties of some ONPs relative to the component molecules or those attached to supports.     

Fluorescence Investigations of Oxygen‐Doped Simple Amine Compared with Fluorescent PAMAM Dendrimer

Blue emission of oxygen‐doped tertiary amine (triethylamine), a key unit of fluorescent poly(amido amine) dendrimer, was demonstrated. It was found that the fluorescence intensity could be further enhanced if the tertiary amines locate densely in the dendrimer interior as the branching sites. Moreover, a solvatochromic phenol blue, instead of oxygen, is able to induce the blue fluorescence of the tertiary amino‐branching sites based on a guaranteed host‐guest complexation of phenol blue molecules and dendrimer interior.

     

Polymerizable Ionic Liquid Crystals

Polymerizable vinylimidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) that contain mesogenic coumarin and biphenyl units, respectively, have been synthesized. The N‐alkylation of N‐vinylimidazole with bromoalkylated mesogenic units 7‐(6‐bromohexyloxy)coumarin ( 1 ) and 4,4′‐bis(6‐bromohexyloxy)biphenyl ( 2 ) was then carried out. The thermal behavior of the obtained ILs 3 and 4 was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing optical microscopy. These measurements showed that the attached mesogenic units induce the self‐assembly of ILs and, therefore, the occurrence of liquid crystalline phases. Subsequently, the ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) 3 and 4 were polymerized by a free‐radical mechanism.

     

Oxidation of thiol compounds by molecular oxygen in aqueous solutions

Side self-oxidation of thiols was studied. It was found that these reactions in neutral and alkaline solutions are induced by impurities of variable-valence metals. The ability of transition metals to catalyze oxidation of thiols changes in the order Cu > Mn > Fe > Ni Co. The plot of the self-oxidation rate vs. pH passes through a maximum whose position on the pH scale depends on both the nature of metal and the structure of the thiol oxidized. For thiols having different structures, the kinetic orders in reactions catalyzed by copper ions differently vary with pH, which is apparently associated with the formation of complexes possessing different catalytic activity.     

SrTi0.9M0.1O3-δ钙钛矿型氧化物催化剂甲烷氧化偶联反应性能的研究

The structure and catalytic properties of SrTi_0.9M_0.1O_3-δ (M=Mg，Al， Zr) perovskite-type catalysts for ox-idative coupling of methane (OCM) have been studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD)，X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature-programmed desorption of oxygen(O₂-TPD) methods. It has been shown that doping the cations of lower valence (e.g. Mg²⁺， Al³⁺) to the B site of SrTi_0.9M_0.1O_3-δ perovskite-type catalysts results in the higher content of adsorbed oxygen species on the surface of catalysts and thus higher C₂-selectivity for OCM reaction. It is suggested that the oxygen vacancies of SrTi_0.9M_0.1O_3-δ (M=Mg， Al， Zr) perovskite-type catalysts are the sites responsible for oxygen activation， and the adsorbed oxygen species on the surface of SrTi_0.9M_0.1O_3-δ catalysts are the main active species for OCM reaction.

The interaction of double-charged metal ions with monolayers and bilayers of phospholipids

Electrophoretic mobilities of hexadecane/water emulsions containing dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) or egg yolk lecithin (EYL) monolayers at the interface and those of liposomes prepared from the same lipids were measured as functions of the concentrations of Ca²⁺, Mn²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Ni²⁺ cations in the aqueous phase. The surface potentials, surface charge densities (σ), and the Langmuir adsorption isotherms for various distances from the charged surface to the slip plane (d) were calculated on the basis of the Gouy-Chapman theory for 1∶2 electrolytes and the values of ζ-potentials. The binding constants (K) and parametersd were determined under the assumption that the maximum σ values correspond to one ion per phospholipid molecule at the interface. In the case of DMPC, the ion binding constants (L mol⁻¹) at 25°C are 230 and 87 for Ca²⁺, 31.5 and 21 for Mn²⁺, 11 and 6 for Cu²⁺, and 7.5 and 5.3 for Ni²⁺ in liposomes and emulsions, respectively. The affinities of Cu²⁺ and Ni²⁺ ions for EYL monolayers and bilayers are lower than those for DMPC mono- and bilayers. Thed parameters for all ions are smaller than the radii of the hydrated ions. In the case of Ca²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Ni²⁺, thed values for mono- and bilayers are different. The differences in K values between monolayers and bilayers as well as those between DMPC and EYL mono- and bilayers can be attributed to the differences in the local environment and orientation of the interfacial phosphate groups in these systems.
