A new route to cyclopentenones via ruthenium-catalyzed carbonylative cyclization of allylic carbonates with alkenes

[RuCl2(CO)3]2/Et3N and (eta 3-C3H5)RuBr(CO)3/Et3N are highly effective catalyst systems for carbonylative cyclization of allylic carbonates with alkenes to give the corresponding cyclopentenones in high yields. For example, treatment of allyl methyl carbonate (1a) with 2-norbornene (2a) in the presence of a catalytic amount of [RuCl2(CO)3]2 (2.5 mol %) and Et3N (10 mol %) at 120 degrees C for 5 h under 3 atm of carbon monoxide gave the corresponding cyclopentenone, exo-4-methyltricyclo[5.2.1.0(2,6)]dec-4-en-3-one (3a), in 80% yield with high stereoselectivity (exo 100%).     

Pt/Al2O3整体催化剂上选择性氧化脱除甲醇重整氢源中CO --副反应对CO脱除效果的影响分析

移动甲醇重整制氢是质子交换膜燃料电池（PEMFC）可行的供氢方式之一,包括水蒸气重整、部分氧化重整和自热重整。甲醇重整制氢方法不同,重整气体积组成在H245％～75％,CO215％～25％,CO1％～10％,H2O10％～20％和N20—20％变化。重整气进入PEMFC之前要经过CO水蒸气变换反应（如果采用水蒸气重整,不需要变换过程）,     

CORM-3 reactivity toward proteins: the crystal structure of a Ru(II) dicarbonyl-lysozyme complex

CORM-3, [fac-Ru(CO)(3)Cl(κ(2)-H(2)NCH(2)CO(2))], is a well-known carbon monoxide releasing molecule (CORM) capable of delivering CO in vivo. Herein we show for the first time that the interactions of CORM-3 with proteins result in the loss of a chloride ion, glycinate, and one CO ligand. The rapid formation of stable adducts between the protein and the remaining cis-Ru(II)(CO)(2) fragments was confirmed by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), Liquid-Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS), Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), and X-ray crystallography. Three Ru coordination sites are observed in the structure of hen egg white lysozyme crystals soaked with CORM-3. The site with highest Ru occupancy (80%) shows a fac-[(His15)Ru(CO)(2)(H(2)O)(3)] structure.     

Methoxycarbonylation of propylene oxide: A new way to β-hydroxybutyrate

The methoxycarbonylation of propylene oxide (PO) to methyl β-hydroxybutyrate (MHB) catalyzed by dicobaltoctacarbonyl ([Co₂(CO)₈]) and 3-hydroxypyridine (3-OH-Py) in methanol system has been studied. The effects of different additives, the molar ratio of 3-OH-Py:Co₂(CO)₈, temperature, carbon monoxide (CO) pressure, reaction time on the conversion and selectivity have been investigated. The conversion of propylene oxide is 80.4%, and the yield of methyl β-hydroxybutyrate is 74.9% with selectivity 93.2% when the reaction is carried out for 16 h at 80 °C and 6.0 MPa of CO in methanol, with 0.125 mmol of Co₂(CO)₈, 0.25 mmol of 3-OH-Py. The mechanism of this catalytic reaction has also been proposed.     

Synthesis of five-, six-, and seven-membered ring lactams by CpRh complex-catalyzed oxidative N-heterocyclization of amino alcohols

A new effective catalytic system consisting of [CpRhCl(2)](2)/K(2)CO(3) (Cp = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) for the lactamization of amino alcohols has been developed. As an example, the reaction of 3-(2-aminophenyl)-1-propanol in the presence of [CpRhCl(2)](2) (5.0% Rh) and K(2)CO(3) (10%) in acetone gives 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone in an isolated yield of 80%. A variety of five-, six-, and seven-membered benzo-fused lactams are synthesized by this catalytic system. [reaction: see text]     

氧化铈促进的高效Au/Al2O3催化剂制备及其催化CO选择氧化反应性能

近年来,伴随全球能源危机的加剧,以及温室效应和细颗粒物等一系列环境问题出现,各国研究者正努力寻求和开发可持续利用的新能源来代替传统的化石能源.燃料电池具有能量转化效率高、对环境排放低和污染小等优点,作为一种新的环境友好型技术而广受关注.在众多的燃料电池中,质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)因具有能量效率高和工作窗口温度
　　低等优势而备受关注.但是, PEMFC燃料以H2为主,主要来源是烃类的重整气,但其中痕量的CO (10 ppm)将会引起Pt电极中毒,导致PEMFC性能迅速下降,因此如何有效地祛除富氢气体中的CO并尽可能减少H2的消耗具有重要研究价值.目前, CO选择氧化法(CO-PROX)是公认的最简单、廉价和有效的办法之一. CO的消除通常选用霍加拉特催化剂,虽然Cu基催化剂具有低廉的成本和较好的CO催化氧化性能,但是当反应中有H2O和CO2存在时,其活性会迅速下降. Au催化剂具有优异的低温CO催化氧化性能,但在PEMFC的工作温度窗口为80–120oC时,随着反应温度提高, H2与CO之间的竞争吸附变强,采用单组分Au催化剂难于在80–120 oC内使CO完全氧化.因此,设计并制备高效的Au催化剂来提高其在PEMFC工作温度(80–120 oC)条件下CO-PROX反应活性和选择性仍然是目前该方向的难点.氧化铈(CeO2)是一种重要的稀土化合物,由于Ce具有独特的4f电子层结构, Ce3+/Ce4+在一定条件下可以相互转化,具有较高的储放氧能力,即能够在富氧条件下储存氧,在贫氧条件下释放氧. CeO2是一种重要的氧化反应催化剂载体,是三效催化剂的主要组成部分,在净化汽车尾气方面稀土元素具有独特的优势,广泛应用于CO氧化和NOx消除等领域中.最近,本课题组以自制的氧化铝为载体,制备了K掺杂的Au-Cu/Al2O3催化剂,其在CO-PROX反应中具有较好的催化活性和稳定性.本文在此基础上,利用Au与CeO2之间的相互作用,制备了CeO2掺杂的Au/CeO2/Al2O3催化剂和K掺杂的Au-Cu/CeO2/Al2O3催化剂.表征结果发现,催化剂中Au和Au-Cu纳米粒子的尺寸均一,平均粒径分别为2.4±0.4和2.8±0.4 nm.与Au/Al2O3催化剂相比, Ce掺杂的Au催化剂具有更高的金属分散度,拓宽了其CO完全转化时的反应温度窗口(30–70 oC).对所制备的Au催化剂进一步通过拉曼光谱、H2程序升温还原和CO-红外光谱等手段分析和CO-PROX催化性能测试,可以证实Au-Cu/CeO2/Al2O3催化剂中各组分在CO-PROX反应中所起的作用.结果表明, CeO2的掺杂能增强活性组分与载体之间的相互作用,有助于提高Au-Cu纳米粒子的分散度,此外还能提高Au催化剂的还原性能,其表面形成的氧空位提高了CO-PROX反应的催化性能. Cu物种的引入显著增强了CO在Au催化剂上吸附能力.综上所述, CeO2组分对Au/Al2O3催化剂的促进作用体现在：(1)有效锚定Au和Au-Cu纳米粒子;(2)提供CO-PROX反应中的活性氧物种.

A facile synthetic route to (η-benzoyleyclopentadienyl) metal compounds

A reaction between cyclopentadienylsodium and ethyl benzoate in refluxing THF produces (benzoylcyclopentadienyl)sodium (4) in 70–80% yield. Subsequent treatment of 4 in ethanol solution with thallium ethoxide affords (benzoyleyclopentadienyl)thallium (3) in nearly quantitative yield. Reactions of 3 with Mn(CO)₅Br, Re(CO)₅Br, [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂ or FeCl₂ lead to the respective η⁵-benzoylcyclopentadienyl derivatives of these metals, and demonstrate the utility of 3 in organometallic syntheses. Reactions of several of these organometallic ketones with cymantrenyllithium [(η⁵-C₅H₄Li)Mn(CO)₃] provide a useful new route to bimetallic compounds.

CO2＋H2制含氧化合物的研究

作为自然界中含有丰富碳源的CO_2,经过催化加氢制含氧化合物的研究,近年来为人们所关注,特别是CO_2加氢制甲醇.从CO_2出发制含氧化合物其前景是诱人的,则可利用碳和氧得到化学品,二则减少了自然界中的CO_2含量,有益于环境保护.本文对Cu-Zn系和Rh-V系催化剂进行初步考察.     

Urea as a new and cheap nitrogen source for the synthesis of metal nitride clusterfullerenes: the role of decomposed products on the selectivity of fullerenes

By using urea as the new nitrogen source, for the first time, Sc-based metal nitride clusterfullerenes (NCFs), Sc(3)N@C(2n) (2n=80, 78, 70, 68), have been synthesized successfully. The optimum molar ratio of Sc(2)O(3)/CO(NH(2))(2)/C for the synthesis of Sc NCFs is 1:3:15. The yield of Sc(3)N@C(80)(I(h) +D(5h)) per gram of Sc(2)O(3), using CO(NH(2))(2) as the new nitrogen source, was quantitatively compared to those obtained when using the reported nitrogen sources, including N(2), NH(3), and guanidinium thiocyanate. We find that there is a clear difference on the selectivity of Sc-based NCFs within the extract mixture obtained from one rod and accumulative two rods. According to discharging experiments and XRD analysis, we conclude that NH(3) generated in situ from the decomposition of CO(NH(2))(2) is mainly responsible for the formation of Sc-based NCFs when using only one rod, whereas in the second rod CO(NH(2))(2) would decompose into melamine during discharging of the first rod. Thus, the selectivity of fullerenes is clearly dependent on the decomposed product of CO(NH(2))(2). Finally the difference in the decomposition behavior of CO(NH(2))(2) and melamine was studied in detail and a possible decomposition process of CO(NH(2))(2) during discharging was proposed. Accordingly, the difference in the selectivity and yield of Sc NCFs for CO(NH(2))(2) and melamine was interpreted.

Hydroformylation of vinylsilanes with Rh(acac)(CO)2/tris(N-pyrrolyl)phosphine catalytic system

Rh(acac)(CO)₂ as catalyst precursor with a small excess of free N-pyrrolylphosphine ([P(NC₄H₄)₃]:[Rh] = 3–10) was found to be very active in hydroformylation of vinyltrisubstituted silanes at 80 °C and 10 atm CO/H₂ = 1. After 2 h the yields of aldehydes were 80 % (n/iso = 8) for vinyltrimethylsilane, 100 % (only n-isomer) for vinyldimethylphenylsilane and 95 % (n/iso = 5.5) for vinyltrimethoxysilane. The rate of hydroformylation of vinyltrimethylsilane is ca. three times higher than that of other vinylsilanes. 3,3-Dimethyl-1-butene undergoes hydroformylation much slower than vinyltrimethylsilane probably because of its high steric hindrance and the reaction produces 4,4-dimethylpentanal as the only product.     

Charge-discharge Behavior of Surface-coated LiMn2O3.95F0.05 Cathode Materials at High Temperature

As a result, they exhibited good charge-discharge properties at 50℃ high temperature. Especially, LiNO3 surface-coated LiMn2O3.9F50.05 retained nearly 80% initial reversible capacity after 130 cycles at 50℃.

脉冲电晕放电-催化转化CO2为CO

在常温、常压下，较系统地研究了CO2在脉冲电晕等离子体条件下的活化与转化，考察了反应器参数、脉冲成形电容、应用电压、气体流量、电晕极性对二氧化碳转化的影响。在本实验条件下，最佳反应器的有效长度为125mm,内径为22mm。二氧化碳转化率和一氧化碳产率随应用电压的增加而增加。另外，随着应用电压的增加，脉冲反应器的能量利用效率反而降低。随着气体流量的增大，二氧化碳的转化率及一氧化碳的产率下降。γ-Al2O3的存在大大促进了二氧化碳的转化，CO2的最高转化率达23％。由于γ-Al2O3在物化性质方面的特性，γ－Al2O3的存在对二氧化碳的转化有重要的作用。研究表明：脉冲电晕放电－催化转化CO2为CO是可行的。     

Supercritical fluid extraction of catechins from Cratoxylum prunifolium dyer and subsequent purification by high-speed counter-current chromatography

Supercritical fluid extraction of tea catechins including epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) and epicatechin-3-O-gallate (ECG) from Cratoxylum prunifolium Dyer was performed. The optimization of parameters was carried out using an analytical-scale supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system designed in our laboratory. Then the extraction was scaled up by 100 times using a preparative SFE system under a set of optimized conditions of 40 degrees C, 25 MPa and modified CO2 with 80% ethanol aqueous solution. The combined yield of EGCG and ECG reached about 1 mg per 1 g of tea leaves where the solubility was near 1.4 x 10(-4) mass fraction of CO2 fluid. EGCG and ECG of high purity (>98%) were obtained from the crude preparative extract by high-speed counter-current chromatography.     

Adsorption, desorption, and thermodynamic studies of CO2 with high-amine-loaded multiwalled carbon nanotubes

Commercially available multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were functionalized with a high mass load of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) to study their behaviors in the cyclic CO(2) adsorption as well as the associated thermodynamic properties. The breakthrough curve showed a fast kinetics of CO(2) adsorption resulting in percentage ratios of working capacity to equilibrium capacity greater than 80%. The adsorption capacity of CNT(APTS) was significantly influenced by the presence of water vapor and reached a maximum of 2.45 mmol/g at a water vapor of 2.2%. The adsorption capacities and the physicochemical properties of CNT(APTS) were preserved through 100 adsorption-desorption cycles displaying the stability of CNT(APTS) during a prolonged cyclic operation. The heat input required to regenerate spent CNT(APTS) was determined, and the result suggests that adsorption process with solid CNT(APTS) is possibly a promising CO(2) capture technology.     

Low-temperature Catalytic Reduction of Nitrogen Monoxide with Carbon Monoxide on Copper Iron and Copper Cobalt Composite Oxides

Copper iron composite oxides (CuO/Fe2O3) and copper cobalt composite oxides (CuO/Co3O4) for the catalytic reduction of NO with CO at low temperature were prepared by co-precipitation. The catalytic activity and thermal stability of the catalysts were evaluated by a microreactor-GC system. The 100% conversion temperatures of NO are 80 oC for CuO/Fe2O3 and 90 oC for CuO/Co3O4. The catalysts possess high catalytic activity and favorable thermal stability for NO reduction with CO in a wide temperature range and long time range. A systematic study of the molar ratios of the reactants, the volume of NaOH, aging time, and calcination temperature/time was carried out to investigate the influence preparation conditions on the catalytic activity of the catalysts.
