(n = 3-7) is carried out. For the Ni + CnH2, (n = 3, 4) reactions, the major and minor reaction channels involve C-C and C-H bond activations, respectively, whereas Ni atom prefers the attacking of C-H bond over the C-C bond in CnH2n (n = 5=7). The results are in good agreement with the experimental study. In all cases, intermediates and transition states along the reaction paths of interest are characterized, It is found that both the C-H and C-C bond activation processes are proposed to proceed in a one-step manner via one transition state. The overall C-H and C-C bond activation processes are exothermic and involve low energy barriers, thus transition metal atom Ni is a good mediator for the activity of cycloalkanes CnH2n (n = 3 -7).展开更多

An experimental research was performed on bond performance of alkali-activated GGBFS paste as a construction adhesive after exposure to 20-500℃. Through XRD analysis, a few calcium silicate hydrate, hydrotalcite and tetracalcium aluminate hydrate were determined as end products, and they were filled and packed each other at room temperature. In addition, akermanite dramatically increased at 800 ~C and above. The two key parameters, the ultimate load Pu.T and effective bond length Le, were determined using test data of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)-to-concrete bonded joints at elevated temperature. The experimental results indicate that the ultimate load Pu.T remains relatively stable initially and then decreases with increasing temperature. The effective bond length Le increases with increasing temperature except at 300℃. The proposed temperature-dependent effective bond length formula is shown to closely represent the test data.展开更多

This paper used ab initio method to investigate this kind of influence of Mg2+, Fe2+ and Zn2+ cations on 13C-18O bonds in precipitated aragonite, calcite and dolomite. The polynomials of Δ47 and reduced partition function ratios (RPFRs) for 13/12C, 14/12C and 18/16O of these minerals were given within temperatures ranging from 260 to 1500 K. We found that these cations significantly decreased the Δ47 values at the level of 10-3 - 10-2 per mil, comparing with pure crystals;and that if the Δ47 values were used to reconstruct the temperatures Ts, the deviation of T was about 7.2°C for, for instance, zinc-enriched aragonite, as discussed in our paper. It was suggested that due to such influence, researchers would better use a proper thermometer according to the main impurity metal cations in carbonates. We also found that according to the probability theory, the theoretical value of the influence of phosphoric acid on Δ47 of CO2 degassed from different carbonates was zero.展开更多

The dissociation rate of theα5β1/CD40 L complex decreases first and then increases with wall shear stress,exhibiting a'Catch-slip bond'transformation of interaction betweenα5β1-CD40 L.This mechanical regulation mechanism exists in interaction of CD40 L not only toα5β1 at low affinity state but also to one at high affinity state.Our results should be useful in understanding the mechanical regulation mechanism of a5β1-CD40 L interaction-mediated cellular immune response and inflammatory processes.展开更多

However, their theoretical distributions (noted as Δ47s) in CO2 degassed from calcite and aragonite with phosphoric acid are unclear. Thus, the isotope reactions of 13C-18O bonds on the growing surfaces of calcite (0001) and aragonite (001) planes were investigated using ab initio techniques. It was found that these reactions determined 13C-18O clumped isotope signatures in bulk calcite and aragonite minerals with novel Δ47 polynomials: and for temperatures ranging from 260 to 1500 K. These theoretical results were in good agreement with the experimental data. In addition, the influence of phosphoric acid on these polynomials was at the level of 0.01‰.展开更多

Post heat treatment was performed at 250 ℃ for 2 h in air and then kept at 400 ℃ to 600 ℃ under a flow of nitrogen for 2 h. The TiO2/AC composites obtained were characterized by SEM, XRD, UV-vis and BET. The photocatalytic activities of the TiO2/AC composites were studied in comparison with TiO2, AC, P-25 and a mixture of TiO2 and AC, respectively. The Ramnant rate of Rhodamine B absorbed by the active carbon is found to be almost 70% and the remnant rates of the Rhodamine B decolorized by TiO2 and the mixture of TiO2 and the active carbon are 30% and 25%, respectively. However, nearly complete removal of Rhodamine B is observed for a TiO2/AC composite after 200 min under UV irradiation, which will take the P-25 commercial product 5 h. Therefore, the TiO2/AC composite is much more effective in decolorization of aqueous Rhodamine B. In addition, the composite can be easily separated from solutions.展开更多

文摘Thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)molecules have attracted great attention as high efficient luminescent materials.Most of TADF molecules possess small energy gap between the first singlet excited state(S_(1))and the first triplet excited state(T_(1))to favor the up-conversion from T_(1)to S_(1).In this paper,a new TADF generation mechanism is revealed based on theoretical simulation.By systematic study of the light-emitting properties of SOBF-OMe in both toluene and in aggregation state,we find that the single SOBF-OMe could not realize TADF emission due to large energy gap as well as small up-conversion rates between S_(1)and T_(1).Through analysis of dimers,we find that dimers with intermolecular hydrogen bond(H-bond)are responsible for the generation of TADF,since smaller energy gap between S_(1)and T_(1)is found and the emission wavelength is in good agreement with experimental counterpart.The emission properties of SOBF-H are also studied for comparison,which reflect the important role of H-bond.Our theoretical results agree ith experimental results well and confirm the mechanism of H-bond induced TADF.
文摘The 13C-18O bonds in carbonates are potential single-phase geo-thermometers. However, their theoretical distributions (noted as Δ47s) in CO2 degassed from calcite and aragonite with phosphoric acid are unclear. Thus, the isotope reactions of 13C-18O bonds on the growing surfaces of calcite (0001) and aragonite (001) planes were investigated using ab initio techniques. It was found that these reactions determined 13C-18O clumped isotope signatures in bulk calcite and aragonite minerals with novel Δ47 polynomials: and for temperatures ranging from 260 to 1500 K. These theoretical results were in good agreement with the experimental data. In addition, the influence of phosphoric acid on these polynomials was at the level of 0.01‰.
文摘The 1.3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 2-trifluoromethyl- oxazolone and the activated carbon-carbon multiple bond was studied and gave a convenient way to synthesize 2-trifluoromethylpyrrole derivatives.
文摘Photocatalyst of TiO2 bonded active carbon (TiO2/AC), was prepared via sol-gel method from a mixture of TiO2 sol with active carbon. Post heat treatment was performed at 250 ℃ for 2 h in air and then kept at 400 ℃ to 600 ℃ under a flow of nitrogen for 2 h. The TiO2/AC composites obtained were characterized by SEM, XRD, UV-vis and BET. The photocatalytic activities of the TiO2/AC composites were studied in comparison with TiO2, AC, P-25 and a mixture of TiO2 and AC, respectively. The Ramnant rate of Rhodamine B absorbed by the active carbon is found to be almost 70% and the remnant rates of the Rhodamine B decolorized by TiO2 and the mixture of TiO2 and the active carbon are 30% and 25%, respectively. However, nearly complete removal of Rhodamine B is observed for a TiO2/AC composite after 200 min under UV irradiation, which will take the P-25 commercial product 5 h. Therefore, the TiO2/AC composite is much more effective in decolorization of aqueous Rhodamine B. In addition, the composite can be easily separated from solutions.
