In situ time-resolved FTIR investigation on the reaction mechanism of partial oxidation of methane to syngas over supported Rh and Ru catalysts

In situ time-resolved FTIR spectroscopy was used to study the reaction mechanism of partial oxidation of methane (POM) to synthesis gas and the reaction of CH₄/O₂/He (2/1/45, molar ratio) gas mixture with adsorbed CO species over Rh/SiO₂, Ru/γ-Al₂O₃ and Ru/SiO₂ catalysts at 500—600℃. It was found that CO is the primary product of POM reaction over reduced and working state Rh/SiO₂ catalysts. Direct oxidation of CH₄ is the main pathway of synthesis gas formation over Rh/SiO₂ catalyst. CO₂ is the primary product of POM over Ru/γ-Al₂O₃ and Ru/SiO₂ catalysts. The dominant reaction pathway for synthesis gas formation over Ru/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst is via the reforming reactions of CH₄ with CO₂ and H₂O. For the POM reaction over Rh/SiO₂ and Ru/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts, consecutive oxidation of surface CO species is an important pathway of CO₂ formation.     

Studies on the interaction of DNA and Ru (1,10-phenanthroline)2− (dipyrido[3,2−a:2′,3′−c]phenazine)2+

The interaction of Ru(phen)₂(dppz)²⁺(phen=1,10-phenanthroline,dppz=dipyrido[3,2−1:2′,3′−c]phenazine) and the calfthymus DNA were studied with fluorescence and ultraviolet visible absorption spectroscopy. The ultraviolet visible absorption spectrum of Ru(phen)₂(dppz)²⁺ calfthymus DNA, and their interaction demonstrated that Ru(phen)₂(dppz)²⁺ intercalated into the double helix of DNA via the ligand dppz. Fe(CN)₆ ⁴⁻ and NaCl can not quench the fluorescence of Ru(phen)₂(dppz)²⁺-DNA, which was in agreement with the intercalation mode.

Effect of Cl- on photosynthetic bicarbonate uptake in two cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa and Synechocystis PCC6803

Photosynthetic inorganic carbon utilization was investigated in two cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa and Synechocystis PCC6803 grown in standing culture. Photosynthetic rates for the two algae reached about 10 times the theoretical CO₂ supply rate at low dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) of 100 μmol/L, and the rates were unaffected by the addition of 20 mmol/L Na⁺, indicating that the two algae possessed Na+-independent HCO^-₃ utilization for photosynthesis under low DIC. Their photo- synthetic rates at low DIC were inhibited by higher Cl^- and the degrees of inhibition were increased with the rise of CI^- concentration, and in the presence of Diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (DPC), a reported Cl^- channel inhibitor, the rates decreased by 74%－82%, implying that putative DPC-sensitive Cl^- channels participate in Na+-independent HCO₃^- uptake for photosynthesis. The experiment of intracellular 14C-DIC accumulation for photosynthesis showed that internal DIC pools decreased by about 80% with 200 μmol/L DPC and by 64%－70% with 100 mmol/L Cl^-. The experiment of chlorophyll a fluorescence quenching showed that initial rates and extents of fluorescence quenching obviously decreased with 200 μmol/L DPC or 100 mmol/L Cl^-. The two experiments gave further evidence that putative DPC-sen- sitive Cl^- channels participate in Na+-independent HCO^-₃ uptake for photosynthesis in the two algae grown in standing culture.     

Synthesis and spectroscopy of nitridoruthenium (VI) and osmium (VI) porphyrins

Reaction of Ru (4-Cl-TPP) (CO) (MeOH) [4-Cl-TPP = meso-kis (4-chlorophenyl) porphyrinato dianion] with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) followed by treatment of the mixture with an aqueous ammonia solution afforded the first nitrido ruthenium porphyrin Ru(4-Cl-TPP) (N) (OH). Three new nitrido osmium (VI) porphyrins, Os (Por) (N) (OH) (Por=TPP, TTP, and 4-Cl-TPP), were synthesized from oxidation of Os(Por)(NH₃)₂ withm-CPBA. All these new complexes were characterized by¹H NMR, IR, UV/Visible spectra and elemental analyses. Both nitrido ruthenium (VI) and osmium (VI) porphyrins are diamagnetic. Their pyrrole proton resonances appear at slightly lower fields than those of the corresponding dioxo Ru(VI) and Os(VI) porphyrins. The {ie89-1}, or {ie89-2}, region is obscured by the strong “oxidation state marker” band. Li Zaoying: born in July 1949, associate professor.

The seasonal variations of δ~(18)O , Cl~- , Na~+ , NO_3~- and Ca~(2+) in the snow and firn recovered from Princess Elizabeth Land, Antarctica

Snow and firn samples recovered from two snow pits (2.5 and 4.5m deep) and one 50-m firn core along the route of the 1996/1997 Chinese First Antarctic Inland Traverse Expedition in Princess Elizabeth Land, East Antarctica, have been measured for chemical composition and oxygen isotope ratio. In the two snow pits, the variations of NO3- are partly in phase with that of δ18O, while the variations of Cl~ and Na+ are in inverse phase with that of δ18O. The variations of CI- , Na+ , NO3- and δ18O show obvious seasonal variations and annual stratag-raphy. However, with the depth increasing, the seasonal variations of δ18O are gradually smoothed below 3 m (corresponding to about 10-year mass accumulation) in depth while the seasonal variations of Cl- , Na+ and NO3- are kept fairly well in the whole profile of the 50-m firn core (corresponding to about 250-year mass accumulation). The results provide a useful tool for dating the snow stratum in this region. On the contrary, no obvious seasonal variations of Ca2 + are found in the profiles.

Effects of anions on the biosorption of microelement cations by macroalga <Emphasis Type="Italic">Enteromorpha prolifera</Emphasis> in single- and multi-metal systems

The results of research on the effects of anions on the biosorption of microelement cations by the edible marine macroalga Enteromorpha prolifera in singleand multi-metal systems are discussed in this paper. It was shown that the maximum biosorption capacity (qmax) in a single-metal system of Co(II) ions decreased in the following sequence: Cl- (46.0 mg g-1) > SO42- (42.8 mg g-1) > NO3- (41.9 mg g-1). In multi-metal systems, in which the ratios of Cl-, NO3-, and SO42- were 0:0:4, 1:1:2, 3:0:1, and 4:0:0, there were clear differences among the biosorption capacities. In all the examined systems (other than the 0:0:4 system), inhibition of the binding of microelement cations by the macroalga was observed. In all the systems, the highest value of qmax was obtained for Cu(II) cations; the value ranged from 31.9 mg g-1 in 0:0:4 (SO42- only) to 18.2 mg g-1 in 4:0:0 (Cl-only).     

Kinetics of C2(a3Πu) radical reactions with NO, N2O, O2, H2 and NH3

Pulsed laser photolysis/laser-induced fluorescence (LP-LIF) is utilized to measure rate constants for C₂(a³Π_u) reactions with NO, N₂O, O₂, H₂ and NH₃. Multiphoton dissociation of C₂Cl₄ at 266 nm is employed for the generation of C₂(a³Π_u) radicals. The C₂(a³Π_u) concentration is monitored by the fluorescence of the (0, 0) band of the (d³Π_g&#8596;a³Π_u) transition at 516.5 nm. C₂(a³Π_u) removal rate constants for the reactions are determined as k_NO = (5.46 ± 0.10) × 10^-11 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1 , k_N2O = (1.63 ± 0.20) × 10^-13 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1 , k_N2O = (1.58 ± 0.16) × 10^-11 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1, k_O2 = (5.92 ± 1.00) × 10^-14 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1, k_H2< 1.0× 10^-14 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1. Based on the data analysis and theoretical calculation, we suggest that the C₂(a³Π_u) reactions with H₂ and NH₃ proceed via the hydrogen abstraction mechanism, barriers exist at the entrance channel of the reactions of C₂(a³Π_u) with H₂ and NH₃.

Magnetic properties of heteropolyoxometalates

The progress of the study on the magnetic properties of heteropolyoxometalates during the late decade is reviewed. Some anions of heteropolyoxometalates containing magnetic atoms, such as [M4(H2O)4(PW9O34)2]10- and[M4(H2O)4(P2W15O56)2]16-[M = Co(Ⅱ), Zn( Ⅱ ), Cu( Ⅱ ), Mn(Ⅱ ), Ni(Ⅱ)], and [GaW9O37M3(H2O)3]n-[M = Fe(Ⅲ), Cu(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ)] showed ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic properties. The combination of heteropoly anions and organic π-donor of TTF+ (te-trathiofulvalene cation) results in a variety of magnetic properties. Furthermore, there is an interaction between the inorganic and organic components. The electrocrystallization technique can prepare the organic-inorganic salts of this kind, which will become the new member of molecular magnetic materials. Heteropoly blue is a kind of the mixed-valence complexes and its reduction electrons can be delocalized over anionic framework. The further study on the magnetic properties of heteropolyoxometalates will provide important information for the design of molecular materials.

Inorganic-organic hybrids constructed of bis（undecatungstogerma- nate）lanthanates polyoxoanions and oxalate-bridged dinuclear copper complexes and their magnetic properties

A series of inorganic-organic hybrids K₂Na _m H_9−m [{Ln(GeW₁₁O₃₉)₂}{Cu₂(bpy)₂(μ-ox)}]·nH₂O (bpy = 2,2-bipyridine and ox = oxalate; Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd; n = 19, 17, 22, 20, 19; m = 4, 4, 4, 9, 2) were isolated after reacting in a potassium acetate buffer. X-ray structural analyses show that compounds 1–5 are isomorphic and consist of [Ln(GeW₁₁O₃₉)₂]¹³⁻ polyoxoanion building blocks and oxalate-bridged dinuclear copper metalorganic complex with a 1D chain structure. The 1D chain further connects into the 3D framework by π-π interactions with neighboring bpy groups. The magnetic susceptibility data indicate that antiferromagnetic coupling between the neighboring Cu²⁺ ions in the structure and the rare earth ions affects magnetic property of the structure.     

Investigation of adsorption of surfactant at the air-water interface with quantum chemistry method

Density functional theory （DFT） of quantum chemistry was used to optimize the configuration of the anionic surfactant complexes CH3（CH2）7OSO3^- （H2O）n （n=0-6） and calculate their molecular frequencies at the B3LYP/6-311＋G^＊ level. The interaction of CH3（CH2）7OSO3^- with 1 to 6 water molecules was investigated at the air-water interface with DFT. The results revealed that the hydration shell was formed in the form of H-bond between the hydrophilic group of CH3（CH2）7OSO3^- and 6 waters. The strength of H-bonds belongs to medium. Binding free energy revealed that the hydration shell was stable. The increase of the number of water molecules will cause increases of the total charge of hydrophilic group and S10-O9-C8 bond angle, but decreases of the alkyl chain length and the bond lengths of S10-O11, S10-O12 as well as S10-O13, respectively.
