The limiting oxygen index （LOI） of the PAEK was 40, which indicated that organic phosphorus moiety can offer good flame retardant property to the polymer.

Extraction and Separation Factor for Lanthanum(III) and Cerium(III) Complexes from Aqueous Medium Using Ionic Liquid and Kerosene

In this work, an experimental study was carried out to find the best-operating conditions for the study of the extraction percentage (%E) and the separation factor (SF) of La(III) and Ce(III) complexes. To carry out this study, a variation of β-diketone concentrations was used, keeping the concentration of tri-octyl phosphine oxide (TOPO) continuous at 0.05 M. The ratio of organic phase to the aqueous phase (O/A) was also studied. The %E and SF were analyzed and compared in the 1,1,1-trifluoro-2, 4-pentanedione (TFA) with TOPO, and 1,1,1,5,5,5-Hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione (HFAc) with TOPO in Ionic Liquid (IL) and Kerosene. The one-stage extraction efficiency in IL of La(III) and Ce(III) complexes was 42.13% and 77.48% for the TFA-TOPO system and La(III) and Ce(III) complexes were 94.33% and 97.67% for the HFAc-TOPO system. While the SF between Ce(III) and La(III) complexes was 4.91 for TFA-TOPO and 2.64 for HFAc-TOPO. On the other hand, the one-stage extraction efficiency in Kerosene of La(III) and Ce(III) complexes was 27.57% and 63.70% in the TFA-TOPO system. The one-stage extraction efficiency of La(III) and Ce(III) complexes were 99.87% and 99.73% for the HFAc-TOPO system in Kerosene while the SF between Ce(III) and La(III) complexes was 4.62 for TFA-TOPO and 0.49 for HFAc-TOPO. The main conclusion was that using two extractants (β-diketone and TOPO) produced a synergistic effect improving the extraction capacity and SF of La(III) and Ce(III) complexes for both systems in IL and Kerosene.

Synthesis of Bio-based Epoxy Containing Phosphine Oxide as a Reactive Additive Toward Highly Toughened and Fire-retarded Epoxy Resins

The integration of high mechanical toughness,impact strength as well as excellent flame-retardant properties toward epoxy resins(EPs)have always been a dilemma.The inadequate overall performance of EPs severely restricts their sustainable utilization in engineering aspects over long-term.Herein,a new bio-based agent(diglycidyl ether of magnolol phosphine oxide,referred as DGEMP)derived from magnolol(classified as lignan),extracted from natural plants Magnolia officinalis,was successfully synthesized and further employed as a flameretardant reactive additive to diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA).As demonstration,the composite resin,DGEBA/15DGEMP(15 wt%DGEMP),achieved an Underwriters Laboratories-94 V-0 rating with a high limiting oxygen index(LOI)value(41.5%).In cone calorimeter tests,it showed that heat release and smoke production were effectively inhibited during combustion,wherein the peak heat release rate(PHRR)value of DGEBA/15DGEMP was reduced by 50%compared to neat DGEBA.Additionally,it exhibited a superior tensile strength(82.8 MPa),toughness(5.11MJ/m^(3))and impact strength(36.5 k J/m^(2)),much higher than that of neat DGEBA(49.7 MPa,2.05 MJ/m^(3)and 20.9 k J/m^(2)).Thus,it is highly anticipated that DGEMP imparts significantly improved mechanical and fire-retarded properties to conventional EPs,which holds a great potential to address the pressing challenges in EP thermosets industry.

P-Chiral phosphines and sec-phosphine oxides(SPO) are found in a diverse range of compounds that play crucial roles in various fields, including asymmetric catalysis, materials, agrochemistry, and pharmaceutical chemistry. Herein, we describe an enantioselective Ni-catalyzed kinetic resolution of racemic sec-phosphine oxides to obtain the corresponding optically pure Pchiral phosphine oxides and sec-phosphine oxides, respectively. These products are versatile chiral phosphine building blocks that can be used to construct an extensive range of P-chiral phosphines.

The Influence of Aziridine on the Aging of Composite Solid Rocket Propellant

Aging of a solid composite propellant containing HTPB/AP/AL was performed in order to validate the conformance of the accelerated aging data to the Arrhenius law. The main objective of the work was to examine the influence of the aziridine bonding agents family on the propellant aging. Aging of the prepared propellant samples was conducted as follows: 1. Four samples, one free of bonding agents, and three containing aziridine based bonding agents MAPO,HX-752, MAT4 were aged at 65°C. 2. Another four samples based on HX-752, MAT4 with different curing agents were aged at 65°C. The measured mechanical properties of the free bonding agent propellant samples were very far from the specifications and this illustrates the importance of the bonding agents in both the preparation and the aging phases.The prepared bonding agent 'MAT4' gave remarkable improvements of the mechanical properties comparing with HX-752 and MAPO. The aziridine bonding agents family inhibited the rate of decomposition of the propellant during the aging periods and supported the propellant matrix against decomposition at the elevate temperatures. Using of HMDI as curing agent gave slight better mechanical properties to the IPDI.

Organophosphorus catalytic reaction based on reduction of phosphine oxide

The special electronic configuration of phosphorus atoms endows organophosphorus reagents with unique chemical properties,which enable them to be used to catalyze various organic reactions,such as the Wittig reaction,Staudinger reaction,Appel reaction and Mitsunobu reaction.However,the catalytic process will be accompanied by the generation of large amounts of phosphine oxide waste,resulting in the reduction of atom utilization of the reaction,and it is difficult to separate the product.Therefore,it is essential to explore a greener and more sustainable organic synthesis route based on the catalytic cycle of phosphine oxide as a model.This paper summarizes the catalytic cycle and recycling of phosphorus with or without reducing agents and reviews the related developments in recent decades:from the addition of stoichiometric strong reducing agents,to the design of ring phosphines with specific structures,to the development of new energy inputs(electrochemistry),to the addition of a series of compounds to activate the P(V)––O double bond,driving the catalytic cycle of phosphine oxide through chemical transformation.This review also points out the development potential of this field in the future,which will promote its development and progress in a greener direction.

Molecular engineering of an electron-transport triarylphosphine oxide-triazine conjugate toward high-performance phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes with remarkable stability

Organic electron-transport materials are an essential component to boost performances and stability of organic light-emitting diodes. We present a robust organic electron-transport compound 3-(6-(3-(4,6-bis(4-biphenylyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)phenyl)pyridin-2-yl)phenyldiphenylphosphine oxide by facilely coupling the triphenylphosphine oxide moiety to the 2-phenyl-4,6-bis(4-biphenylyl)-1,3,5-triazine unit via a 2,6-pyridinylene linker. It is well soluble in weakly polar solvents and possesses a high Tg of 123 ℃ with an exceptional Td≈470 ℃ at 1% weight loss and deep HOMO/LUMO levels of ca.-6.45/-3.06 eV. The phosphorescent spectrum measured in solid state at 77 K reveals a notable triplet energy of 2.88 eV. n-Doping with 8-hydroxyquinolatolithium(Liq) produces the electron mobility value of 4.66×10-5–3.21×10-4 cm2 V-1 s-1@(2–5)×105 V cm-1.Moreover, the contrasting solubility of the bromo reaction intermediate and the new compound in alcoholic solvents facilitates separation. The characterizations of bottom-and top-emission green phosphorescent OLEDs involving this single Liq-doped electron-transport layer reveal long stability. In particular, the latter provides outstanding performances with 77.4 cd A–1(corresponding to an EQE of 18.7%) and 86.8 lm W–1@ca. 1000 cd m-2, based on the green emitter bis(2-phenylpyridine)(2-(4-methyl-3-phenylphenyl)pyridine)iridium(Ⅲ). Moreover, driven by a constant current for ca. 640 h, the initial luminance of 1000 cd m–2 appears almost no decay.

Four novel polymers, poly（3,6-9-decyl-carbazole-alt-1,3-benzene） （PB13CZ）, poly（3,6-9-decyl-carbazole-alt- bis（4-phenyl） （phenyl） phosphine oxide） （PTPPO38CZ）, poly（3,6-9-decyl-carbazole-alt-2,4-phenyl（diphenyl） phosphine oxide） （PTPPO13CZ） and poly（3,6-9-decyl-carbazole-alt-bis（3-phenyl） （phenyl） phosphine oxide） （PTTPO27CZ） were synthesized, and their thermal, photophysical properties and device applications were further investigated to correlate the chemical structures with the photoelectric performance of bipolar host materials for phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes. All of them show high thermal stability as revealed by their high glass transition temperatures and thermal decomposition temperatures at 5% weight loss. These polymers have wide band gaps and relatively high triplet energy levels. As a result, the spin coating method was used to prepare the green phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes with polymers PTPPO38CZ, PTPPO13CZ and PTTPO27CZ as the typical host materials. The green device of polymer PTPPO38CZ as host material shows electroluminescent performance with maximum current efficiency of 2.16 cd.A-1, maximum external quantum efficiency of 0.7%, maximum brightness of 1475 cd.m-2 and reduced efficiency roll-off of 7.14% at 600 cd.m-2, which are much better than those of the same devices hosted by polymers PTTPO27CZ and PTPPO13CZ.

Unraveling the catalytic reaction mechanism is a long-term challenge for developing efficient catalysts.The blooming bimetallic catalyst have enabled to activate inert bonds and realize complex C-C formation.Herein,we theoretically discover a dual-phosphinito bridged hetero-bimetallic species that verified by NMR experiments.Our results indicate only dual-phosphinito Ni-Al model can be an active catalyst in asymmetric cycloadditions via C-C activation and C-H activation,which can well rationalize the experimental observations for both reactivity and stereo-selectivity.An unprecedented tandem redox dehydrogenation mechanism was revealed to control the formation of this active species overriding the inherent basicity.Synergistic Lewis acid and eg orbital interactions,including dz2 orbital reoccupation and d_(x^(2)−y^(2))orbital recombination,were disclosed to understand both thermodynamic and kinetic advance of dual-bridged model,displaying feasible redox properties.

Optimization of TRPO Process Parameters for Americium Extraction from High Level Waste

The numerical calculations for Am multistage fractional extraction by trialkyl phosphine oxide (TRPO) were verified by a hot test. 1750L/t-U high level waste (HLW) was used as the feed to the TRPO process. The analysis used the simple objective function to minimize the total waste content in the TRPO process streams. Some process parameters were optimized after other parameters were selected. The optimal process parameters for Am extraction by TRPO are: 10 stages for extraction and 2 stages for scrubbing; a flow rate ratio of 0.931 for extraction and 4.42 for scrubbing; nitric acid concentration of 1.35mol/L for the feed and 0.5mol/L for the scrubbing solution. Finally, the nitric acid and Am concentration profiles in the optimal TRPO extraction process are given.
