Catalytic epoxidation of olefin over supramolecular compounds of molybdenum oxide clusters and a copper complex

The catalytic epoxidation of olefin was investigated on two copper complex-modified molybdenum oxides with a 3D supramolecular structure, [Cu（bipy）]4[Mo15O47].2H2O （1） and [Cu1（bix）][（Cu1bix） （δ-MoVl8O26）0.5] （2） （bipy = 4,4＇-bipyridine, bix = 1,4-bis（imidazole-1-ylmethyl）benzene）. Both compounds were catalytically active and stable for the epoxidation of cyclooctene, 1-octene, and styrene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide （t-BuOOH） as oxidant. The excellent catalytic performance was attributed to the presence of stable coordination bonds between the molybdenum oxide and copper complex, which resulted in the formation of easily accessible Mo species with high electropositivity. In addition, the copper complex also acted as an active site for the activation of t-BuOOH, thus im- proving these copper complex-modified polyoxometalates.

Model Compounds of the Mn Cluster in Oxygen-evolving Complex of PSⅡ

Six model compounds have been synthesized and used for probing the structural features of the Mn cluster in oxygen_evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem Ⅱ (PSⅡ). The model compounds contain Mn 2(μ_O) 2 and μ_O_μ_carboxylato di_manganese structural units, which offer Mn—Mn, Mn……Mn, and Mn—O(N) structural parameters consistent with the corresponding data of the OEC in PSⅡ, implying that the Mn cluster in OEC may possess similar structural features. Two model compounds containing halide anion have been used for discussing the binding of Cl - to Mn in PSⅡ. It is suggested that in the five S states, ligand exchange would lead to the ligation of chloride to Mn in the S states with Mn of higher valence.

Mid-Temperature Synthesis of CeO_2-TiO_2 Complex Compound and Its XRD Structure Study

The CeTi 2O 6, which is formed above 1300 ℃ by ceramic method, was obtained at 700 ℃ using sol gel synthesis method. XRD analysis shows that there is 8% deficient of Ce in the structure. The chemical formula is Ce 0.92 Ti 2O 5.84 , which has a monoclinic structure with space group of C 2/ m . Its cell parameters are a =0.9811(8) nm, b =0.3726(3) nm, c =0.6831(6) nm, and β =118.84°. After being treated at 1300 ℃ for 3 h, the system keeps stable but the deficient disappears, while the chemical formula change to the normal CeTi 2O 6, and the cell parameters are a =0.9813(3) nm, b =0.3752(4) nm, c =0.6883(5) nm, β =119.05°. The key to synthesis the precursors of CeTi 2O 6 is that Ti 4+ and Ce 3+ ions must reach the atomistic distributing state and prevent the oxidation of Ce 3+ during sol gel process.

Preparation and Characterization of Layered Compound Zirconium Bis(monohydrogenphosphate) Intercalated with Rare Earth Complex

Layered compound zirconium bis(monohydrogenphosphate)(alpha-ZrP) intercalated with rare earth complex Eu(DBM)(3)phen was prepared. The pre-intercalation of p-methoxyaniline into alpha-ZrP makes the interlayer separation large enough to exchange PMA with europium complex, thus, the luminescent assembly was prepared. This was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, UV-visible spectra and elemental analysis. The fluorescence spectra and lifetime of the assembly were also presented.

Simulation calculation of solubility of insoluble compound M_mA_a in complex system

A simulation calculation model for the solubility of insoluble compound MmAa in complex system was established.According to coordination equilibrium principle,relevant dissociation reaction,complexation reaction,self-complexation reaction and protonation reaction during insoluble compound dissolving were considered and then the mass balance equations about solubility calculation were obtained.In the case analysis,the solubility of silver chloride in ammonia system was obtained by simulation calculation,and curved surface charts of thermodynamic equilibrium about the total concentration of silver ions,pH and concentration of ammonia ions were drawn correspondingly.The results show that under the conditions of room temperature and 6 mol/L ammonia concentration,the calculated solubility value of silver chloride(34 g/L) is close to the actual value(31 g/L),demonstrating that this model is suitable for solubility calculation of insoluble compound MmAa in the complex system.

Syntheses of Coordination Compounds of 2-Amino-3-Methylbutanoic Acid Their Mixed Ligand Complexes and Antibacterial Activities

Coordination compounds of 2-amino-3-methylbutanoic acid were synthesized with chromium(III) and oxovanadium(IV) ions. M:L;1:2. Adducts of these complexes using 1,10-phenantroline and ethylenediamine were further synthesized, M:L, (1:2). These compounds were characterized using electronic, infra-red spectrophotometry, magnetic susceptibility measurement and percentage metal analyses. The zones of inhibition and minimum inhibitory concentrations of the compounds against eight microbes were studied. The results obtained indicated an octahedral geometry for the Cr(III) complexes, indicative of additional coordination of two water molecules. On the other hand a square pyramid geometry was obtained for the binary oxovanadium complex and its 1,10-phenantroline adduct. However, for the oxovanadium ethylenediamine adduct a distorted octahedral geometry was proposed. The result for the antibacterial studies indicated that both mixed ligand complexes of 1,10-phenantroline exhibited good antibacterial activity, and in some cases better activity than the standard, streptomycin.

Coordination compounds of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one with iron(III), cobat(III) and chromium(III) were synthesized with M:L (1:2). Mixed ligand coordination compounds of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one and 1,2-diaminocyclohexane using the same metal ions were also synthesized M:L1:L2 (1:1:1) where L1 is 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one and L2 is 1,2-diaminocyclohexane. The coordination compounds obtained were characterized using electronic and infrared spectral analyses, magnetic susceptibility and percentage metal analysis. They were also evaluated for their cytotoxic and antioxidant activities. The result obtained suggested that octahedral geometry was obtained for all the compounds, as a result of additional two molecules of the solvent coordinated to the metal ions. Both the primary and secondary ligands coordinated in a bidentate fashion. The synthesized compounds exhibited moderate cytotoxicity, although none was as active as the standard. The cobalt(III) mixed ligand complex elicited the highest activity. The synthesized compounds all exhibited good to moderate antioxidant activity.

Ultra-deep Removal of Metal Ions from Coal Tar by Complexation:Experimental Studies and Density Functional Theory Simulations

As one of the important aspects of upgrading coal tar,the ultra-deep removal of metal ions via the complexation method was investigated by screening four complexing agents and performing density functional theory(DFT)simulations.Analysis of the compositions and contents of the metallic compounds in the coal tar revealed that the main components were iron and calcium naphthenates.Direct filtration reduced the mechanical impurity content from 0.24%to 0.0752%,indicating that most of the large particles could be easily removed.Among the four complexing agents,namely,acetic acid,oxalic acid,citric acid,and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid,oxalic acid exhibited the best demetallization performance.The DFT simulations suggested that the high performance of oxalic acid originated from its 1:1 coordination mode,rigid dicarboxyl structure,and greater binding energy.
