C-H bond activation of propane on Ga_(2)O_(2)^(2+) in Ga/H-ZSM-5 and its mechanistic implications

Propane dehydrogenation(PDH)on Ga/H-ZSM-5 catalysts is a promising reaction for propylene production,while the detail mechanism remains debatable.Ga_(2)O_(2)^(2+) stabilized by framework Al pairs have been identified as the most active species in Ga/H-ZSM-5 for PDH in our recent work.Here we demonstrate a strong correlation between the PDH activity and a fraction of Ga_(2)O_(2)^(2+) species corresponding to the infrared GaH band of higher wavenumber(GaHHW)in reduced Ga/H-ZSM-5,instead of the overall Ga_(2)O_(2)^(2+) species,by employing five H-ZSM-5 supports sourced differently with comparable Si/Al ratio.This disparity in Ga_(2)O_(2)^(2+) species stems from their differing capacity in completing the catalytic cycle.Spectroscopic results suggest that PDH proceeds via a two-step mechanism:(1)C-H bond activation of propane on H-Ga_(2)O_(2)^(2+) species(rate determining step);(2)β-hydride elimination of adsorbed propyl group,which only occurs on active Ga_(2)O_(2)^(2+) species corresponding to GaHHW.

Cobalt-catalyzed redox-neutral synthesis of isoquinolines: C–H activation assisted by an oxidizing N–S bond

A redox‐neutral avenue to access isoquinolines has been realized by a Co（III）‐catalyzed C–H activa‐tion process. Starting from readily available N‐sulfinyl imine substrates and alkynes, the reaction occurred via N–S cleavage with broad substrate scope and functional group compatibility in the presence of cost‐effective cobalt catalysts.

Light-driven activation of carbon-halogen bonds by readily available amines for photocatalytic hydrodehalogenation

A straightforward protocol using readily available aromatic amines,N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine or N,N,N',N'-tetramethylbenzidine,as photocatalysts was developed for theefficient hydrodehalogenation of organic halides,such as 4'-bromoacetophenone,polyfluoroarenes,cholorobenzene,and 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether(a resistant and persistent organic pollu-tant).The strongly reducing singlet excited states of the amines enabled diffusion-controlled disso-ciative electron transfer to effectively cleave carbon-halogen bonds,followed by radical hydrogena-tion.Diisopropylethylamine served as the terminal electron/proton donor and regenerated theamine sensitizers.

A Mechanistic Switch in C-H Bond Activation by Elusive Fe^(V)(O)(TAML)Reaction Intermediate:A Theoretical Study

The divergent behavior of C-H bond oxidations of aliphatic substrates compared to those of aromatic substrates shown in Gupta’s experiment was mechanistically studied herein by means of density functional theory calculations.Our calculations reveal that such difference is caused by different reaction mechanisms between two kinds of substrates(the aliphatic cyclohexane,2,3-dimethylbutane and the aromatic toluene,ethylbenzene and cumene).For the aliphatic substrates,C-H oxidation by the oxidant Fe^(V)(O)(TAML)is a hydrogen atom transfer process;whereas for the aromatic substrates,C-H oxidation is a proton-coupled electron transfer(PCET)process with a proton transfer character on the transition state,that is,a proton-coupled electron transfer process holding a proton transfer-like transition state(PCET(PT)).This difference is caused by the strongπ-πinteractions between the tetra-anionic TAML ring and the phenyl ring of the aromatic substrates,which has a“pull”effect to make the electron transfer from substrates to the Fe=O moiety inefficient.

Synthesizing active and durable cubic ceria catalysts(<6 nm)for fast dehydrogenation of bio-polyols to carboxylic acids coproducing green H_(2)

Dehydrogenation is considered as one of the most important industrial applications for renewable energy.Cubic ceria-based catalysts are known to display promising dehydrogenation performances in this area.Large particle size(>20 nm)and less surface defects,however,hinder further application of ceria materials.Herein,an alternative strategy involving lactic acid(LA)assisted hydrothermal method was developed to synthesize active,selective and durable cubic ceria of<6 nm for dehydrogenation reactions.Detailed studies of growth mechanism revealed that,the carboxyl and hydroxyl groups in LA molecule synergistically manipulate the morphological evolution of ceria precursors.Carboxyl groups determine the cubic shape and particle size,while hydroxyl groups promote compositional transformation of ceria precursors into CeO_(2) phases.Moreover,enhanced oxygen vacancies(Vo)on the surface of CeO_(2) were obtained owing to continuous removal of O species under reductive atmosphere.Cubic CeO_(2) catalysts synthesized by the LA-assisted method,immobilized with bimetallic PtCo clusters,exhibit a record high activity(TOF:29,241 h^(-1))and Vo-dependent synergism for dehydrogenation of bio-derived polyols at 200℃.We also found that quenching Vo defects at air atmosphere causes activity loss of PtCo/CeO_(2) catalysts.To regenerate Vo defects,a simple strategy was developed by irradiating deactivated catalysts using hernia lamp.The outcome of this work will provide new insights into manufacturing durable catalyst materials for aqueous phase dehydrogenation applications.

Density Functional Studies of the Reaction of Ytterbium Monocation with Fluoromethane:C-F Bond Activation and Electron-Transfer Reactivity

The potential energy surface and reaction mechanism corresponding to the reaction of ytterbium monocation with fluoromethane, which represents a prototype of the activation of C-F bond in fluorohydrocarbons by bare lanthanide cations, have been investigated for the first time by using density functional theory. A direct fluorine abstraction mechanism was revealed, and the related thermochemistry data were determined. The electron-transfer reactivity of the reaction was analyzed using the two-state model, and a strongly avoided crossing behavior on the transition state region was shown. The present results support the reaction mechanism inferred from early experimental data and the related thermochemistry data can provide a guide for further experimental researches.

The Effect of Elevated Temperature on Bond Performance of Alkali-activated GGBFS Paste

The main reaction products were investigated by analysis of microstructure of alkali-activated ground granulated blast furnace slag （GGBFS） paste. 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.

Biphasical Force-Dependent CD40 L Ligation-Induced Activation of Integrin α5β1 under Flows

As a key regulator of immune response,CD40 L is usually associated with chronic disease-related inflammation,autoimmune diseases and malignant diseases.Receptor recognition of platelet CD40 L is the initial event that mediates platelet aggregation and leukocyte immune response.Unlike soluble CD40 L,the interaction between transmembrane platelet CD40 L and its receptors occurs within the cell junction surface,usually,in a physiological and pathological high blood flow shear stress environment.This two-dimensional reaction kinetics should be a mechano-chemical coupling process.In addition to its classical receptor CD40,CD40 L also binds to receptorα5β1,CD40 L can bind to the resting state of integrinα5β1,but the mechanical regulation mechanism of integrinα5β1 activation under fluid shear stress remains unclear.We assume that the force can promote CD40 L-inducedα5β1 activation.To check this hypothesis,we performed flow chamber experiment to investigate interaction of CD40 L andα5β1.In experiments,the bottom of the flow chamber is functionalized by a suitable concentration of CD40 L,and the fiber spheres of 6μm diameter was coated withα5β1.The selection of CD40 L concentration was based on the observation that as many tether events ofα5β1-coated spheres as possible were observed rather than stable adhesion events of these spheres.Theα5β1-coated sphere suspension was poured over the CD40 L-coated substrates in the flow chamber under different shear rates.A high-speed camera was used to observe and record tether events of fiber spheres at a rate of 100 frames per second.According to our affinity state transition model for integrin,the data were analyzed to obtain the rate of integrin activation and its mechanical regulation characteristics.Our results demonstrated that the interaction betweenα5β1 and CD40 L is biphasic force-dependent,showing mechano-chemical regulation mechanism of'Catch-slip bond'transition.The affinity jumping model was well fitted with the data obtained from flow chamber experiment at various wall shear stresses.We found that,CD40 L ligation-induced jumping ofα5β1 affinity state from low to medium(or high)one will occur within 0.5-1.0 second,resulting in prolonging of bond lifetimes.And,frequency distribution of the tether events number with tether lifetime under each force,exhibits obvious doublet peaks,one within 0.5-1 s and second within 1.5-2.5 s,indicating theα5β1 affinity state transform from low to high one.The probability distribution of the tether lifetime under different shear forces are not linear,and exists a turning point,which shows that the rate ofα5β1 dissociation from CD40 L is fast first,and then become slow,showing a force-induced conformation transformation of the integrinα5β1 from low affinity state to high affinity one.Our findings suggest that,the continuous force stimulation will quickly cause the affinity state change of integrinα5β1. 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.

High Activated Mineral Admixture Slurry Made by Wet-discharged Fly-ash Promoted by Matrix Bonding Component

The mineral admixture slurry was made by wet-discharged fly-ash （WDFA） promoted by matrix bonding component （MBC）, and the strengths, hydration products change （XRD, SEM） of cement paste made by the slurry were studied. The results indicate that in the process of wet-milling preparation, there is a prime proportion （70︰30） between wet-discharged fly-ash and matrix bonding component in the slurry. The physical activation of wet-milling and chemical activation of modified agents accelerate the hydration of cement including the cement and mineral which has not hydrated completely in the matrix bonding component. And the hydrated part of matrix bonding component can play the function of inducing crystallization, which can accelerate secondary hydration reaction of fly-ash.

Competition between C-C and C-H Activation in Reactions of Neutral Nickel Atom with Cycloalkanes （n = 3-7）

A theoretical investigation of the reaction mechanisms for C-H and C-C bond activation processes in the reaction of Ni with cycloalkanes C,,H2. （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）.

Theoretical verification of intermolecular hydrogen bond induced thermally activated delayed fluorescence in SOBF-OMe

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.

Photocatalytic properties of TiO_2 bonded active carbon composites prepared by SOL-GEL

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.

Ultrathin organic polymer with p-πconjugated structure for simultaneous photocatalytic disulfide bond generation and CO_(2)reduction

Combining photocatalytic organic reactions with CO_(2)reduction is an efficient solar energy utilization mode,but it is still limited by the organic species that can be matched and the low conversion.Herein,ultrathin organic polymer with p-πconjugated structure(TPP)was rationally designed and prepared,and showed a high yield of CO(15.2 mmol g^(-1))and conversion of SAS coupled products(100%),far exceeding the organic polymer with P=O structure.The enhanced photoredox activity of TPP is ascribed to the orbital interaction between the p-orbital on phosphorus and theπ-orbitals of aromatic,which can accelerate the photoinduced charge carrier separation and improve the CO_(2)adsorption capacity.TPP can also be used for the dehydrocoupling of various benzyl mercaptans to the corresponding SAS bond products.This work provides a new concept for the efficient synthesis of disulfide bonds combined with CO_(2)reduction in a photoreaction system.
