However, activated alcohols when employed as substrates in dehydration reactions are often pla-gued by the lack of alkene selectivity. In this work, the reaction system can be significantly improved through enhancing the performance of Lewis acid catalysts in the dehydration of activated alcohols by combining with a Lewis base. Observations of the reaction mechanism revealed that the Lewis base component might have changed the reaction rate order. Although both the principal and side reaction rates decreased, the effect was markedly more observed on the latter reaction. Therefore, the selectivity of the dehydration reaction was improved. On the basis of this observation, a new route to synthesize 2-cinnamyl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds was developed by using 2-aryl-3,4- di-hydropyran as a starting substrate in the presence of a Lewis acid/Lewis base combined catalyst system.展开更多

Agglomeration-free nanosized ZrO2-HfO2-Y2O3-Sc2O3 composite powders were successfully synthesized by Sol-Gel technique in heated aqueous solution of alcohol, using analytically pure ZrOCl2 · 8H2O, HfOCl2·8H2...Agglomeration-free nanosized ZrO2-HfO2-Y2O3-Sc2O3 composite powders were successfully synthesized by Sol-Gel technique in heated aqueous solution of alcohol, using analytically pure ZrOCl2 · 8H2O, HfOCl2·8H2O, Y（NO3）3·6H2O, and Sc2O3 as raw materials. The effect of synthesis condition on the size and dispersity of the composite powders was investigated by means of XRD, TEM, and TG-DSC techniques. The results showed that well-dispersed predecessor of ZrO2-HfO2-Y2O3-Sc2O3 composite nanopowders could be obtained. The optional condition ： PEG6000 as dispersant was 1%, alcohol/H2O ratio was 5/1, metallic ion concentration in whole solution was 0.5 mol·L^-1 and the pH value of the solution was 12. After calcined at 620 ℃, the powder obtained was in uniform cubic structure, and its average particle size was about 13 nm, which was good for producing nanocrystalline solid electrolyte.展开更多

This method possesses a wide range of capabilities since it can be used with other functional groups which may not tolerate oxidative conditions, involves fairly simple method for work-up, exhibits chemoselectivity and proceeds under ambient conditions. The resulting products are obtained in good yields within reasonable time.展开更多

The formation of α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles was confirmed by X-ray diffraction measurement and reduction in crystallite size was found after cobalt incorporation. Field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed the existence of pyramidal shaped iron oxide in AFC. FTIR and Raman spectra also confirmed the presence of α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>. Photocatalytic activity study showed that the cobalt incorporated α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> was better photocatalyst than pure α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>. The cobalt incorporated iron oxide nanoparticles could be used for drug delivery application and this simple preparation method could be adopted for the synthesis of other transition metal oxides.展开更多

If γ-Al_2O_3 is used as its support, cobalt ions can easily react with γ-Al_2O_3 at not very high temperature to form spinel CoAl_2O_4 or spinel-like, which decreases the activity of the combustion catalyst. In this paper, MgAl_2O_4 and CaAl_2O_4 were pre-coated on γ-Al_2O_3 by impregnation respectively, which formed compound support for LSC. It is shown that, when MgAl_2O_4 layer is covered on the surface of MgAl_2O_4 by impregnation, the entering of cobalt ions into γ-Al_2O_3 lattice is restrained, then LSC formed on the surface of MgAl_2O_4, which leads to a good catalytic activity of xylene complete oxidation. But the layer of MgAl_2O_4 should be thick enough to reach 30% (mass fraction) MgO in the support due to large size particle of MgAl_2O_4 crystalline. If polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is added into the impregnation solution adequately, MgAl_2O_4 particles formed on the surface of γ-Al_2O_3 are getting smaller, and less amount of MgAl_2O_4 is needed to cover up the surface of γ-Al_2O_3. If CaAl_2O_4 layer substituted for MgAl_2O_4, more closed cover is obtained in virtue of fine particles of CaAl_2O_4. The activity examination shows that smaller particles of MgAl_2O_4 or CaAl_2O_4 can be more effective to hinder cobalt ions entering the lattice of γ-Al_2O_3, and better activities will be obtained.展开更多
