A DFT study on mechanisms of CO2 coupling with propargylic alcohols using alkali carbonates

The mechanisms of CO₂ coupling with the propargylic alcohol using alkali carbonates M₂CO₃ (M = Li, Na, K, Cs) have been investigated by means of density functional theory calculations. The calculations reveal that the target product tetronic acid (TA) is yielded through two stages: (a) the formation of the α-alkylidene cyclic carbonate (αACC) intermediate via Cs₂CO₃-mediated carboxylative cyclization of the propargylic alcohol with CO₂, and (b) the conversion of the αACC intermediate with Cs₂CO₃ to produce the cesium salt of the TA. Since the overall kinetic barriers for the two stages are comparable and affordable, the excellent chemoselectivity to the TA should be primarily originated from the high thermodynamic stability of the cesium salt of the TA. Moreover, relative to the TA, the possibility to yield the by-product acyclic carbonate can be excluded due to the both kinetics and thermodynamic inferiority. This result is different from the organic base-mediated reaction. Alternatively, our calculations predict that CsHCO₃ together generated with the cesium salt of the TA might also be an available mediating reagent for the incorporation of CO₂ with the propargylic alcohol. Compared to other alkali carbonates M₂CO₃ (M = Li, Na, K), the stronger basicity of Cs₂CO₃ and the lower ionic potential of cesium ion can raise the effective concentration of the αACC intermediate, and thus the conversion of the αACC intermediate into the cesium salt of the TA can be achieved with high yield.     

355nm Nd∶YAG激光在H_2中的高效一级斯托克斯转换

对脉冲Nd∶YAG激光(355 nm)在H2和H2∶He-Ar混合气体中的受激拉曼散射(SRS)进行了研究。在0.5 MPa的氢气中,同时测量到从二级反斯托克斯到三级斯托克斯的多波长输出,其总转化效率达88%;而高压下只剩下一级和二级斯托克斯输出,其中二级斯托克斯最大能量转化效率达44%(对应量子效率为63%)。由于高级斯托克斯的竞争,纯氢气中一级斯托克斯的最大能量转换效率不超过43%。通过向3 MPa氢气中掺入2 MPaAr气后,很好地抑制了二级斯托克斯的产生,从而获得了能量转换效率高达71%(对应量子效率为83%)的一级斯托克斯输出。对四波混频和级联受激拉曼散射在氢气多级斯托克斯产生中的作用以及惰性气体对它们的影响进行了讨论。

Application of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy: a study of flocculation of rigid rod-like biopolymer (schizophyllan) and colloidal particles

The flocculation between the rod-like biopolymer Schizophyllan and two types of colloidal particles (latex with diameter 40 nm and alumina with diameter 60 nm) has been investigated by means of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). The concentration ratio of Schizophyllan/particle q was varied in the range 0.1 approximately 20. Under conditions of pH about 5.7, 1 mmol.L(-1) NaCl, and room temperature (22+/-0.5 degrees C), the particles are strongly charged (alumina particles positively charged, latex negatively), while Schizophyllan is neutral. We observed that Schizophyllan chains flocculate with both types of particles, which suggests that the charge neutralization does not play a decisive role in these interactions. The ratio of fluorescence intensity of one floc over that of one particle, Q(f)/Q(p), and the corresponding hydrodynamic radius (r(h)) of the flocs have been measured. For a Schizophyllan-latex system, Q(f)/Q(p) reached a maximum value of 5 for q=3 indicating that the flocs contained five particles on average. The corresponding value of r(h) was r(h)=455 nm. The flocculation kinetic of latex particles with Schizophyllan was too fast to be measurable by FCS. For the Schizophyllan-alumina system, Q(f)/Q(p) was stable at about 1 in the whole studied range of q but r(h) increased with q suggesting that many Schizophyllan chains are adsorbed on individual particles. The flocculation kinetic of this system was studied by FCS and the obtained results were compatible with those of photon correlation spectroscopy.
