土壤中不同极性污染物的亚临界水选择性萃取

研究了用亚临界水萃取技术选择性萃取土壤中3种不同极性的污染物:2,4-二氯酚(2,4-DCP)、4-氯联苯(4-PCB)和六氯苯(HCB)。研究了在不同温度下亚临界水对分析物的萃取效率。125℃时,萃取物主要是2,4-DCP;250℃时,主要萃取4-PCB和HCB。同时,研究了亚临界水萃取时间、萃取体积对3种物质的萃取效率的影响,确定了土壤中HCB的最佳亚临界水萃取条件为萃取水体积4mL,萃取时间75m in,萃取温度250℃。本方法用于实际样品中的HCB萃取,通过改变萃取温度,可以去除其它污染物对HCB测定的影响,测定结果与索氏提取-GC分析结果吻合较好。与USEPA标准方法8081A相比,本方法可以显著缩短萃取时间、简化净化步骤及减少有机试剂的用量。

Sensing the ortho Positions in C6Cl6 and C6H4Cl2 from Cl2− Formation upon Molecular Reduction

The geometrical effect of chlorine atom positions in polyatomic molecules after capturing a low-energy electron is shown to be a prevalent mechanism yielding Cl₂⁻. In this work, we investigated hexachlorobenzene reduction in electron transfer experiments to determine the role of chlorine atom positions around the aromatic ring, and compared our results with those using ortho-, meta- and para-dichlorobenzene molecules. This was achieved by combining gas-phase experiments to determine the reaction threshold by means of mass spectrometry together with quantum chemical calculations. We also observed that Cl₂⁻ formation can only occur in 1,2-C₆H₄Cl₂, where the two closest C–Cl bonds are cleaved while the chlorine atoms are brought together within the ring framework due to excess energy dissipation. These results show that a strong coupling between electronic and C–Cl bending motion is responsible for a positional isomeric effect, where molecular recognition is a determining factor in chlorine anion formation.     

Computational reconstitution of crystal structures and (p,T) phase diagrams of benzene C6H6 and hexachlorobenzene C6Cl6

Abstract

With a simplified dynamical model for molecular packing analysis, crystal and molecular structures of benzene C₆H₆ and hexachlorobenzene C₆H₆ were investigated. This model includes thermal motion and molecular deformation effects. Several crystalline structures have been found by the calculation. They are compared to experimental structures determined at various temperatures and pressures, by X-ray diffraction or neutron scattering. A schematic (p, T) phase diagram is suggested for each compound.     

Separation and fragmentation study of isocoproporphyrin derivatives by UHPLC‐ESI‐exact mass MS/MS and identification of a new isocoproporphyrin sulfonic acid metabolite

Isocoproporphyrin and its derivatives are commonly used as biomarkers of porphyria cutanea tarda, heavy metal toxicity and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) intoxication in humans and animals. However, most are isobaric with other porphyrins and reference materials are unavailable commercially. The structural characterisation of these porphyrins is important but very little data is available. We report here the separation and characterisation of isocoproporphyrin, deethylisocoproporphyrin, hydroxyisocoproporphyrin and ketoisocoproporphyrin, isolated in the faeces of rats fed with a diet containing HCB, by ultra high performance liquid chromatography‐exact mass tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC‐MS/MS). Furthermore, we report the identification and characterisation of a previously unreported porphyrin metabolite, isocoproporphyrin sulfonic acid isolated in the rat faeces. The measured mass‐to‐charge ratio (m/z) of the precursor ion was m/z 735.2338, corresponding to a molecular formula of C₃₆H₃₉N₄O₁₁S with an error of 0.3 ppm from the calculated m/z 735.2336. The MS/MS data was consistent with an isocoproporphyrin sulfonic acid structure, derived from dehydroisocoproporphyrinogen by sulfonation of the vinyl group. The metabolite was present in a greater abundance than other isocoproporphyrin derivatives and may be a more useful biomarker for HCB intoxication. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Reactions of polychlorophenyllithium compounds with electrophiles

Photocatalytic remediation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs): A review

The release of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) into the environment is an issue of global concern, as the chemicals are stable over a prolonged period resulting in their accumulation in many animals and plants. Although POPs are banned in several countries, many chemicals have been proposed as POP candidates to be added to the existing compounds as defined by the United Nations Stockholm Convention committee. To address the safe disposal and clean-up of such chemicals, new, and especially cost-effective, remediation technologies for POPs are urgently required. This review focuses on existing POPs and the types of remediation processes available for their removal. Particular attention is paid towards photocatalysis using nanocatalysts in this review, due to their effectiveness towards POP degradation, technological feasibility, and energy and cost-efficiency. The underlying principles and the key mechanisms of the photocatalysts based on TiO₂ based materials, metal oxides, light-assisted Fenton systems, framework materials e.g. metal-organic frameworks and polyoxometalates, including metal-free and hybrid photocatalysts for POPs cleanup are described for advance applications in solving the POPs contamination in the environment. The improvements of photocatalytic performance especially the POPs removal mechanism using the conventional and modified process, the design and optimization of photoreactors, and the integration technology are the critical challenges for the emerging pollutants and require intensive research for the forthcoming future.     

Dissociative Electron Attachment to Hexachlorobenzene

Gas phase molecules of hexachlorobenzene (C₆Cl₆) were investigated by means of dissociative electron attachment spectroscopy (DEAS). Three channels of molecular negative ions decay have been identified: abstraction of Cl⁻ and Cl₂⁻ as well as electron detachment (τ_a∼250 μs at 343 K). All three channels exhibit temperature dependence. The adiabatic electron affinity estimated using a simple but typically accurate Arrhenius model (EA_a=1.6–1.9 eV) turns out to be much higher than the quantum-chemical predictions (EA_a=0.9–1.0 eV). We discuss the possible reasons behind the observed discrepancy.
