The influences of solvents, temperature, time, as well as amounts of cata-lysts and alkali were studied. The quantitative data show that 32.9% of 2-naphthol (0.093 mol/dm3) was catalyti-cally converted to HNQ with the selectivity of 100% at 323 K for 9 h over TMOPPFeCl catalyst (2.54×10-4 mol/dm3) in alkali media (30 mL of methanol containing 2.5 mol/dm3 of NaOH) by flowing molecular oxygen (flowing rate of 45 mL/min).展开更多

The triplet MNQ mainly underwent the hydrogen abstraction from Brij 35 molecule to give a radical pair. The escaped radical yield increased with magnetic fields from 0 to 0.62 T and then saturated from 0.62 to 1.75 T. MFEs for both sys-tems can be explained by the relaxation mechanism. However, it was supposed that additional radical, L-R affected the MFEs mainly through enhancing the spin-spin interactions of radical pairs. The effect of the micelle size on MFEs of the studying system was also discussed.展开更多
