Preparation And Characterization Of Nonmetal Promoter Modified Cuznal Catalysts For Higher Alcohol From Synthesis Gas Through Complete Liquid Phase Method, Shirui Yu, Xiaodong Wang, Wei Huang

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A complete liquid phase technology and a function regulator were applied to prepare CuZnAl catalysts for higher alcohol synthesis. Characterizations showed that the introduction of the function regulator can change the reduction ability of copper oxides and the surface basicity of catalysts. Activity tests indicated that the selectivity of higher alcohol is high when considerable medium-strong basicity and the synergistic effects of copper ion and metal copper exist on the catalytic surface. The optimized modified CuZnAl catalyst without any metal additives provides a CO conversion of 28.9%, C_{2+}OH selectivity of up to 42.8%, and hydrocarbon selectivity of 2.5%, with a …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Three new polysubstituted isoindole-1,3-diones were prepared from 2-ethyl-5-hydroxy-3a,4,5,7a-tetrahydro-isoindole-1,3-dione. The reaction of 2-ethyl-5-hydroxy-3a,4,5,7a-tetrahydro-isoindole-1,3-dione with m-CPBA gave the corresponding epoxide. The triacetate derivative was obtained via cis-hydroxylation using OsO_4, followed by acetylation. An aromatic derivative, a secondary reaction product, was also formed during the acetylation. Finally, a tricyclic derivative from 2-ethyl-5-hydroxy-3a,4,5,7a-tetrahydro-isoindole-1,3-dione was synthesized via dichloroketene addition under microwave irradiation. The exact structures of epoxide and tricyclic derivatives were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Performance Degradation Of Li_Xfepo_4 (X = 0, 1) Induced By Postannealing, Xiaofei Sun, Youlong Xu, Xiaoyu Zheng, Xiangfei Meng, Rui Zhang

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Olivine LiFePO_4 has been studied for more than a decade as a promising cathode material for rechargeable lithium batteries. However, the low electric conductivity and tap density still hinder its large-scale commercialization. Micro-sized LiFePO_4 is prepared by an optimized hydrothermal method in this paper. The influence of postannealing on the physicochemical properties of LiFePO_4 and FePO_4 is investigated to understand the plausible mechanism for performance degradation. It is found that postannealing even chemical delithiation greatly affects the particle size, morphology, pore distribution, surface area, and probably the lattice strain of Li_xFePO_4 (x = 0, 1). Consequently, the electrochemical performances of …

The examined compounds are represented as (Cl_2Ph)_3CorFe^{IV}Cl and (Cl_2Ph)_3CorMn^{IV}Cl where (Cl_2Ph)_3Cor is the trianion of 5,10,15-tri(2,4-dichlorophenyl)corrole. Each metallocorrole was examined as to its catalytic activity for the electoreduction of dioxygen when coated on an edge-plane pyrolytic graphite electrode in 1.0 M HClO_4. Cyclic voltammetry combined with linear sweep voltammetry at a rotating disk electrode (RDE) and a rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE) was utilized to evaluate the catalytic activity for the …

Geometry optimizations and TD-DFT calculations have been carried out on series of fused-ring-expanded phthalonitriles, phthalocyanines, and aza-dipyrromethene boron difluoride (aza-BODIPY) dyes and trends in their optical and redox properties have been analyzed. The potential utility of fused-ring-expanded phthalocyanine and aza-BODIPY analogues for photodynamic therapy and near infrared region sensor applications is assessed on this basis. Recent attempts to prepare fused-ring-expanded aza-BODIPY analogues with benzene, pyrazine, and naphthalene rings have demonstrated that the properties of aza-BODIPYs vary markedly when different fused ring systems are added to the \beta-carbons of the pyrrole rings. A comparison of the TD-DFT calculations demonstrates that, as …
