Synthesis,structure and property of diorganotin N‐[(3‐methoxy‐2‐oxyphenyl)methylene]tyrosinates

Five new diorganotin N‐[(3‐methoxy‐2‐oxyphenyl)methylene] tyrosinates, R₂Sn[2‐O‐3‐MeOC₆H₃CH=NCH (CH₂C₆H₄OH‐4)COO] (R = Me, 1 ; Et, 2 ; Bu, 3 ; Cy, 4 ; Ph, 5 ), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectra, and the X‐ray single crystal diffraction. In non‐coordinated solvent, complexes 1 – 5 have penta‐coordinated tin atom. In the solid state, 1 – 3 are centrosymmetric dimmers in which each tin atom is seven‐coordinated in a distorted pentagonal bipyramid, and 4 displays discrete molecular structure with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry, and the tin atom of 5 is hexa‐coordinated and possess the distorted octahedral geometry with a coordinational methanol molecule. The intermolecular O‐H???O hydrogen bonds in 1 – 4 link molecules into the different one‐dimensional supramolecular chain with R₂² (30) or R₂² (20) macrocycles, and the molecules of 5 are joined into a two‐dimensional supramolecular network containing R₄⁴ (24) and R₄⁴ (28) two macrocycles. Bioassay results against human tumour cell HeLa indicated that 3 ‐ 5 belonged to the efficient cytostatic agents and the activity decreased in the order 4 > 3 > 5 > 2 > 1. The fluorescence determinations show the complexes may be explored for potential luminescent materials.     

等离子体表面梯度硅沉积对环氧树脂电气性能的影响

环氧树脂作为常见的绝缘材料,在高压直流电场作用下易在其表面积累电荷,发生电场畸变,导致材料绝缘性能下降,影响电力系统运行可靠性。为改善气固界面的电荷特性和绝缘性能,在大气压等离子体射流技术的基础上,对环氧树脂表面进行等离子体梯度硅沉积处理。对改性前后环氧树脂表面理化特性、表面电导率、表面电荷消散和沿面耐压特性进行了多参数测量。实验结果表明,梯度改性对材料表面的物理形貌和化学组分均有明显影响,不同区域的电导率实现了梯度分布,加快了表面电荷消散速度,表面陷阱能级变浅;梯度改性后的样品沿面闪络电压提升幅度可达30.16%。通过等离子体表面梯度硅沉积处理能够改善环氧树脂表面电气性能,在高压直流设备的绝缘设计方面具有广阔的应用前景。     

Extracting the mechanisms and kinetic models of complex reactions from atomistic simulation data

Determining reaction mechanisms and kinetic models, which can be used for chemical reaction engineering and design, from atomistic simulation is highly challenging. In this study, we develop a novel methodology to solve this problem. Our approach has three components: (1) a procedure for precisely identifying chemical species and elementary reactions and statistically calculating the reaction rate constants; (2) a reduction method to simplify the complex reaction network into a skeletal network which can be used directly for kinetic modeling; and (3) a deterministic method for validating the derived full and skeletal kinetic models. The methodology is demonstrated by analyzing simulation data of hydrogen combustion. The full reaction network comprises 69 species and 256 reactions, which is reduced into a skeletal network of 9 species and 30 reactions. The kinetic models of both the full and skeletal networks represent the simulation data well. In addition, the essential elementary reactions and their rate constants agree favorably with those obtained experimentally. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Enhancement of chloroform degradation by the combination of hydrodynamic and acoustic cavitation

The decomposition of chloroform by the combination of hydrodynamic and acoustic cavitation (Hydrodynamic-Acoustic-Cavitation/HAC) has been investigated. The flow rate and the hole diameter of the orifice plate remarkably affect the conversion of chloroform in the combined system. The conversion increases with increasing fluid velocity without any restriction. With a 2.8mm orifice plate the conversion reaches an optimal value. A synergistic effect has been obtained by the hybrid method of acoustic and hydrodynamic cavitation. The total synergistic effect achieves 17% and 73% per pass, respectively. The analysis of the energy efficiencies shows different results. Due to high optimization potential, this hybrid method can be visualized as a new step for wastewater treatment.

等离子体介质阻挡放电氟化改性环氧树脂的时效性

等离子体对材料的改性效果随放置时间会有所减弱,即表现出一定的时效性,限制了等离子体改性技术的进一步发展。为了探究等离子体介质阻挡放电（DBD）氟化改性环氧树脂的时效性,利用等离子体介质阻挡放电实现了环氧树脂表面氟化改性,并利用扫描电镜（SEM）、表面轮廓仪、X射线光电子能谱分析（XPS）、接触角测试仪、高阻计和闪络电压、表面电位测试系统对改性前和改性后放置在25 ℃老化箱中0～30 d的环氧树脂表面进行了物理形貌和化学组分的表征以及电气性能的测试。测试结果表明,DBD氟化改性实现了氟元素在环氧树脂表面接枝,这使得环氧树脂表面能降低,表面电阻率减小,陷阱能级变浅,从而加快了表面电位衰减速度,进而提升了沿面闪络电压。同时,等离子体DBD氟化改性环氧树脂表现出一定的时效性,放置30 d后,氟元素含量减少,表面能增大,表面电位衰减速度略有减慢,闪络电压也有所下降,但仍高于未处理的试样。
