Acetonitrile/water mixing resulted in temperature reduction of solutions whereas metha-nol/water mixing caused temperature increases. On the other hand, maximum recorded chromatographic pressure of acetonitrile:water mixtures occurred at a solvent ratio of 1:6 compared with methanol:water, which showed a maximum pressure at a solvent ratio of 1:1. These findings can be of use in stabilizing re-tention time shifts during HPLC-based studies associated with compound identification based on retention time such as analysis of complex mixtures.展开更多

The direct electrochemical evidence of the dissociation and adsorption behavior of acetonitrile at gold electrodes was found. It could be stated that two consecutive redox paths are involved, each with a special adsorption state acting as the reaction intermediate. The mean value, obtained of the electron-transfer rate constant of the second path, was 1.3 × 10^5 s^-1 with a standard deviation of 0.24 × 10^5 s^-1.展开更多

The method is based on that the retention in reversed-phase liquid chromatography increases with decreasing concentration of organic phase in the mobile phase. The natural logarithm of the capacity ratio for a given solute is linearly related to the volume fraction of the organic modifier in the mobile phase. For dimethylphthalate and diethylphthalate, the linearity range is 30%--60%, and for biphenyl and terphenyl, the range is 60%--95%. Precision values(RSD) were both 〈1% and the accuracy(RE) was in the range of ±1%. The assay was successfully applied to the determination of acetonitrile concentration of recycled mobile phase after the distillation of the column eluent in our laboratory.展开更多

Manganese dioxide was used as the catalyst and H2O2 was used as the oxidant. The oxidation of acetonitrile in supercritical water was studied at 400-500 oC, 25-35 MPa, the flow rate of 2-4 mL/min, the initial concentration of acetonitrile 0.077-0.121 M and the %excess O2 of 50-200%. As a result, the products were mainly N2, CO2 and CO and acetonitrile can be decomposed > 93 % within a very short contact time (1.45-6.19 s). The oxidation process was carried out with respect to the conversion of acetonitrile by 25 factorial design. Regression models were obtained for correlating the conversion of acetonitrile with temperature and flow rate. The complete oxida-tion can be achieved at a condition as moderate as 400 oC, 25 MPa with the flow rate of 2 mL/min.展开更多

However, the po...Electrochemical reduction of acetonitrile to ethylamine with a high selectivity is a novel approach to manufacture valuable primary amines which are important raw material in organic chemical industry. However, the poor ethylamine Faradic efficiency(FE_(ethylamine)) and catalyst stability at the high current density prohibit this method from being practically used. Herein, CuNi alloy ultrafine-nano-particles based on the d-orbital coupling modulation were synthesized through the electrodeposition and their catalytic performance towards acetonitrile reduction reaction(ACNRR) has been systematically studied. The highest FE_(ethylamine)(97%) is achieved with the current density of-114 mA cm^(-2). For practical application, the current density can reach-602.8 mA cm^(-2) with 82.8% FE_(ethylamine)maintained. With the appearance of other organics which co-exist with acetonitrile in the SOHIO process, CuNi can also hydrogenate acetonitrile in it with more than 80% FE_(ethylamine). Our in-situ spectroscopy analysis and DFT calculations towards the acetonitrile hydrogenation behavior reveal that the evenly dispersed Ni in Cu modulates the dband so as to endow CuNi with the better acetonitrile adsorption, milder binding energy with the reaction intermediates, smaller barrier for *CH_3CH_2NH_2 desorption and higher ability for H_2O dissociation to provide *H.展开更多

The solubility increases with acetonitrile concentration and pressure, and it also increases with the apparent density of CO2 d1(moles of CO2 in per liter of fluid) at higher cosolvent concentrations. At lower d1, however, the solubility of the acid at lower acetonitrile concentrations is lower than that in pure CO2 provided that d1 is fixed, which is discussed qualitatively based on the clustering of the components in the system.展开更多

The main obstacles are the sluggish conversion kinetics of the dense Se cathodes and the continuous deterioration of the Li-metal anodes.Here, by introducing an acetonitrile(AN)-based electrolyte and replacing the Li electrode with a lithiated graphite, we successfully build a hybrid conversion-intercalation system using a high-content(80 wt%),decent-loading(3.0 mg cm^(-2)), and low-porosity(44%) Se cathode. The as-designed lithiated graphite||Se(LG||Se) cell demonstrated a high Se utilization(97.4%), a long cycle life(3000 cycles), and an ultrahigh average Coulombic efficiency(99.98%). The cell also works well under lean-electrolyte(2 l L mg^(-1)) condition and shows outstanding safety performance in the nail-penetrating test. The combination affords the competitive comprehensive performances, including high volumetric and gravimetric energy densities, long cycling life, and superb safety of the LG||Se cell. In addition, with a newly-designed threeelectrode pouch cell, the lithiation of the graphite anodes could be done with an in-situ lithiation process,indicating the high potential of the as-proposed LG||Se cell for the practical applications.展开更多

文摘The benzene and acetonitrile azeotropic mixture was proposed to be separated by extractive distillation using an ionic liquid(IL)as the entrainer.The suitable IL was selected by the COSMO-RS model,and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate([EMIM][BF_(4)])was considered as the suitable entrainer mainly due to its high selectivity,low viscosity,and low price.The experimental vapor pressure data of the IL-containing systems(benzene+[EMIM][BF_(4)]and acetonitrile+[EMIM][BF_(4)])were measured in the full concentration range.The results show that acetonitrile has a stronger interaction with IL than benzene,and the low deviations between the experimental and UNIFAC predicted values show the reliability of the UNFIAC model.The UNIFAC predicted vapor-liquid equilibrium data of the benzene+acetonitrile+dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)/[EMIM][BF_(4)]system show that the relative volatility of benzene to acetonitrile is higher when the entrainer is[EMIM][BF_(4)].The process simulation results show that[EMIM][BF_(4)]can reduce the material and energy consumptions compared with DMSO.

文摘A new 1D silver cluster-assembled complex Ag_(10)bpy-CH_3CN exhibiting intense photoluminescence was reported. Upon the loss of coordinated acetonitrile, Ag_(10)bpy-CH_3CN form Ag_(10)bpy with Ag_(10)S_6 cores slightly distorted, being accompanied with photoluminescence quenching. Inverse process can be realized by treating Ag_(10)bpy with acetonitrile and shows a selectively erasable photoluminescent switch.

文摘We present a phosphonium-containing catalyst generated in situ from phosphine and tert-butyl acrylate that serves as an unusual Lewis base catalyst.It was applied for the promotion of a remote 1,6-cyanation reaction of p-quinone methides and fuchsones employing trimethylsilyl cyanide as the cyanide source.A diverse range ofα-diaryl andα-triaryl acetonitriles was obtained in high yields under mild reaction conditions with low catalyst loading(5 mol%).The practicality and utility of this protocol were demonstrated via the gram-scale preparation and facile elaboration of products.Mechanistic investigations(in situ NMR and ESI-MS analysis)were employed to characterize the active zwitterionic phosphonium intermediate,which was the“true”active catalyst.

文摘Acetonitrile inorganic salt aqueous two-phase extraction method was established for the determination of triazine herbicides(simeton,cyanazine,desmetryn,terbumeton,terbuthylazine and dimethametryn)in environmental water samples by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).The extraction solvents types and volume of acetonitrile,the inorganic salt types and amount of(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4),extraction time and pH of sample solution were optimized by single-factor experiment and central composite design.Under the optimum extraction conditions,all linear ranges were obtained with coefficients of determination(r)≥0.9993.The limits of detection for this proposed method were in the range of 0.16-0.28μg/L for six triazine herbicides.The developed method has been successfully applied to the analysis of target triazine herbicides from lake,canal and moat in real-world water samples.The recoveries of target analytes were in the range from 87.0 to 110.9%and the relative standard deviation was lower than 7.3%.

文摘The solubility of stearic acid in supercritical CO2 with acetonitrile (CH3CN) cosolvent was measured at 318.15 K in the pressure range from 9.5 to 16.5 MPa, and the cosolvent concentration ranges from 0. 0 to 5.5 mol% . The solubility increases with acetonitrile concentration and pressure, and it also increases with the apparent density of CO2 d1(moles of CO2 in per liter of fluid) at higher cosolvent concentrations. At lower d1, however, the solubility of the acid at lower acetonitrile concentrations is lower than that in pure CO2 provided that d1 is fixed, which is discussed qualitatively based on the clustering of the components in the system.

文摘Lithium-selenium(Li-Se) battery is a promising system with high theoretical gravimetric and volumetric energy densities, while its long-term cyclability is hard to realize, especially when a practical Se cathode with high Se content, high Se loading, and high density is employed. The main obstacles are the sluggish conversion kinetics of the dense Se cathodes and the continuous deterioration of the Li-metal anodes.Here, by introducing an acetonitrile(AN)-based electrolyte and replacing the Li electrode with a lithiated graphite, we successfully build a hybrid conversion-intercalation system using a high-content(80 wt%),decent-loading(3.0 mg cm^(-2)), and low-porosity(44%) Se cathode. The as-designed lithiated graphite||Se(LG||Se) cell demonstrated a high Se utilization(97.4%), a long cycle life(3000 cycles), and an ultrahigh average Coulombic efficiency(99.98%). The cell also works well under lean-electrolyte(2 l L mg^(-1)) condition and shows outstanding safety performance in the nail-penetrating test. The combination affords the competitive comprehensive performances, including high volumetric and gravimetric energy densities, long cycling life, and superb safety of the LG||Se cell. In addition, with a newly-designed threeelectrode pouch cell, the lithiation of the graphite anodes could be done with an in-situ lithiation process,indicating the high potential of the as-proposed LG||Se cell for the practical applications.
