Synthesis,crystal structure and property of a novel azide-bridged one-dimensional chain copper(II) complex with a dinucleating macrocyclic polyamine

An azide-bridged polymeric cationic chain complex, [LCu₂(N₃)₂]n(ClO₄)_2n ·n(H₂O)**, where L=the dinucleating macrocyclic ligand bis-p-xylylBISDIEN, has been prepared and characterized by x-ray crystallography, u.v.-vis and i.r. spectra, and by magnetic measurements. The structure consists of cationic azide-bridged [LCu₂(N₃)₂]²⁺ (unit) chains, non-coordinated perchlorate anions and crystallized water molecules. The azide anion is bound to two copper atoms in neighboring units with an end-to-end bridging mode. In each unit, the copper atoms have a different coordination geometry; Cu(1) is a four-coordinated, distorted square-planar geometry, whereas Cu(2) is a five-coordinated, distorted square-pyramid. The electronic spectra of the title complex differ in anhydrous and in aqueous MeCN solutions, indicating that dissociation and solvation occur in aqueous solutions. The characteristic i.r. absorptions of azides and perchlorates are described. Magnetic moments vary from 2.05 (B.M.) at 300K to2.01 (B.M.) at 80K, which suggests that very weak interactions exist between the metals.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic study on ionic liquids of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium salts

Chemical shifts of ¹H and ¹³C NMR of series of methylimidazolium salts (MIM⁺, X=Br⁻, BF₄⁻ and PF₆⁻) function on the length of alkyl groups on the ring, type of solvents and the concentration. The bromides series demonstrate more chemical shift variation on H2 upon the change of solvents and concentration. Unexpected H-D exchange reactions were also observed in the MIM⁺Br⁻ by using CD₃OD and D₂O. The exchange rates strongly depend on the length of the alkyl group, which could cause more steric factor to reduce the interaction between deuterium atom from solvent and C2 of the ring.     

The Analysis of Sulfur Compounds by Solid Adsorbent Tenax GR Preconcentration and Gas Chromatography with Flameless Sulfur Chemiluminescence Detection

Gas chromatography using flameless sulfur chemiluminescence detection was applied to the analysis of sulfur compounds in air. A trap employing the solid adsorbent Tenax GR was used to enrich ambient levels of volatile sulfur compounds. The sulfur gases were then thermally released according to programmed temperature from the adsorbent trap and re-collected in a column cooled with liquid nitrogen. The sulfur compounds were revolatilized and directly transferred to the system of PLOT-column gas chromatograph/flameless sulfur chemiluminescence detector for analysis. The PTV injector has been used as a thermal resorption chamber for analysis of sulfur compounds. The sulfur gaseous compounds known to cause nuisance odors in the air from sewerage treatment works were determined.

Combining grey relation and TOPSIS concepts for selecting an expatriate host country

As international corporate activities increase, their staffing involves more strategic concerns. However, foreign assignments have many differences, and dissatisfaction with the host country is a known cause of expatriate failure. From the point of view of an expatriate candidate, the decision of whether to take an expatriate assignment can be regarded as a FMCDM (fuzzy multiple criteria decision making) problem. This paper describes a fuzzy AHP (fuzzy analytic hierarchy process) to determine the weighting of subjective judgments. Using the Sugeno integral for λ-fuzzy measure, and using the nonadditive fuzzy integral technique to evaluate the synthetic utility values of the alternatives and the fuzzy weights, then the best host country alternative can be derived with the grey relation model. The authors further combine the grey relation model based on the concepts of TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution) to evaluate and select the best alternative. A real case of expatriate assignment decision-making was used to demonstrate that the grey relation model combined with the ideas of TOPSIS results in a satisfactory and effective evaluation.

Effect of Biosurfactants on Laccase Production and Phenol Biodegradation in Solid-State Fermentation

The effects of two biosurfactants, tea saponin (TS) and rhamnolipid (RL), on the production of laccase and the degradation of phenol by P. simplicissimum were investigated in solid-state fermentation consisting of rice straw, rice bran, and sawdust. Firstly, the effects of phenol on the fermentation process were studied in the absence of surfactants. Then, a phenol concentration of 3 mg/g in the fermentation was selected for detailed research with the addition of biosurfactants. The results showed that TS and RL at different concentrations had stimulative effects on the enzyme activity of laccase. The highest laccase activities during the fermentation were enhanced by 163.7%, 68.2%, and 23.3% by TS at concentrations of 0.02%, 0.06%, and 0.10%, respectively. As a result of the enhanced laccase activity, the efficiency of phenol degradation was also improved by both biosurfactants. RL caused a significant increase of fungal biomass in the early stage of the fermentation, while TS had an inhibitory effect in the whole process. These results indicated that RL could mitigate the negative effects of phenol on fungal growth and consequently improve laccase production and phenol degradation. TS was potentially applicable to phenol-polluted solid-state fermentation.     

A comparison of the surface properties of lignin and sulfonated lignins by FTIR spectroscopy and wicking technique

The comparison of the FTIR spectra indicated that the sulfonation without caused changes in the main structure of lignin and only in the lignin chains. The surface properties, e.g. the surface free energy and related components, e.g. the Lifshitz–van der Waals and Lewis acid–base interactions components, of lignin and lignosulfonates, LGSs, with different ions, e.g. Na⁺–, Mg²⁺–, and Ca²⁺–, studied and compared by wicking technique indicated that the surface free energy of lignin is lower than that of all used LGSs. This suggests that the sulfonation can enhance the surface property for lignin by increasing of the Lifshitz–van der Waals component and Lewis base component of lignin.     

Reducing the formation of six-membered ring ester during thermal degradation of biodegradable PHBV to enhance its thermal stability

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) has attracted the attention of academia and industry because of its biodegradability, biocompatibility, thermoplasticity and plastic-like properties. However, PHBV is unstable above 160 °C during melt processing at a temperature above the melting temperature, which restricts practical applications as a commodity material. It is widely believed that thermal degradation of PHBV occurs almost exclusively via a random chain scission mechanism involving a six-membered ring transition state. Here, 2,2′-bis(2-oxazoline) (BOX) was selected to modify PHBV to control the formation of six-membered ring ester during thermal degradation. The resulting hydroxyl-terminated PHBVs (HT-PHBVs) had improved thermal stability due to a decrease in the negative inductive effect of the neighboring group of methylene groups at the β-position to the ester oxygen, and a decrease in the electron-denoting effect of substituent group of carbon atoms at α-position to the ester oxygen. The optimal reaction temperature and time were determined to be 95 °C and 6 h, respectively. Compared with those of original PHBV, the temperature determined at 5% weight loss (T_5%), the initial decomposition temperature (T₀), the maximum decomposition temperature (T_max), the complete decomposition temperature (T_f) of HT-PHBV prepared under the optimal conditions increased by 31, 24, 19 and 19.1 °C, respectively.
