Abstract:
Four stereoisomers of a copper-(Schiff-base) complex with double chiral centers were applied to catalyze the asymmetric cyclopropanation. Two of the stereoisomers were also efficient catalysts affording high enantiomeric excess of up to 91.8%. A mechanism that predicts the observed results accurately was proposed.

Abstract:
A polymer-bound photosensitizer was synthesized by the reaction of Merrifield resin with 9-anthracenemethanol in the presence of potassium hydride. The photoisomerization of trans-vitamin D3 to cis-vitamin D3 was carried out with this polymer-bound photosensitizer in ethanol and toluene solutions. The experiment results demonstrate that this solid photosensitizer is efficient for the photoismerization and easy for separation from the reaction mixtures.

(Z)-α-Selanyl alkenyl Grignard reagents 2 were prepared conveniently by treatment of α-bromovinylselenides 1 with magnesium filings in THF. Intermediates 2 were reacted with alkyl iodides in the presence of CuI or Pd(PPh3)4 to afford (Z)-1,2-disubstituted vinylselenides 3,which were cross-coupled with Grignard reagents in the presence of (PPh3)2NiCl2 to give trisubstituted alkenes 4 stereoselectively in good yields.

Abstract:
In this paper, four functional substituted derivatives of cyclopalladated ferrocenylketimines 1~4, which were as mimetics of metal-dependent esterases for catalyzing the hydrolysis of thiophosphoric acid esters pesticides, were synthesized and characterized. All the four cyclopalladated complexes can efficiently catalyze the degradation of thiophosphoric acid pesticides, such as methyl parathion. The Pd catalyst with coordinated oxime is more active and exhibits an increased selectivity towards sulfur containing pesticides.

Abstract:
A new method for the determination of utratrace silver(I) by near field thermal lens spectrometry has been developed. This method is based on the silver(I) catalyzed discoloring reaction of bromocresol green oxidized by sodium persulphate in the presence of α, α'-bipy as activator and Triton X-100 as sensitizer. The linear range of this method is 0~1.6 ng·mL-1 of silver. The detection limit is 2×10-2 ng·mL-1. The method has been applied to the determination of silver in lead power and photographic paper with satisfactory results.

Abstract:
In this paper, a new HPLC method was established to determine the carbonyl compounds in air. As the absorbent, 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2, 4-DNPH) reacted with carbonyls specifically, which form the corresponding 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones, then analyzed by HPLC. The chromatographic conditions, the recovery rate, stability of samples, reagent blank,sampling efficiency were all studied systematically. The results showed that this established method had high sensitivity and good selectivity compared with other analytical methods, and it can determine ten carbonyl compounds in air in 26 min simultaneously.

Abstract:
Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) separation of four acidic drugs similar in structure was studied. Both anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and nonionic surfactant Tween 20 were used to form single micelles and mixed micelles as pseudostationary phases. The effects of the composition of micellar solution on retention behaviors were studied. The results indicate that there is markedly different selectivity among SDS, Tween 20 and the mixed micelles systems.

Abstract:
The TDDFT method is first applied in a series of tetra-nuclear transition metal clusters studies for nonlinear optical properties. The results indicate that the charge transfer inside the metal core[MCu3X4] (M=W, Mo; X=S, O, Cl, Se, Br) makes contribution to the optical nonlinearity. It is possible to enhance the hyperpolarizability by substituting the ligands of the clusters.

Abstract:
A new catalyst for methanol synthesis, ZnO-promoted rhodium supported on carbon nanotubes, was developed. It was found that the Rh-ZnO/CNTs catalyst had high activity of 411.4 mg CH3OH/g/cat/h and selectivity of 96.7% for methanol at 1 MPa and 523 K. The activity of this catalyst is much higher than that of NC 207 catalyst at the same reaction conditions.It was suggested that the multi-walled structure CNTs favored both the couple transfer of the proton and electron over the surface of the catalyst and the uptake of hydrogen which was favorable to methanol synthesis.

Abstract:
An ultrafine Ru-B amorphous alloy catalyst was prepared by chemical reduction with KBH4 in aqueous solution, which exhibited perfect selectivity to sorbitol (~100%) and very high activity during the liquid phase glucose hydrogenation, much higher than the corresponding crystallized Ru-B, the pure Ru powder, and Raney Ni catalysts. The correlation of the catalytic activity to both the structural and surface electronic characteristics was discussed briefly.

Abstract:
The abstraction reaction of H atom with (CH3)3GeH has been studied using ab initio molecular orbital theory. The kinetics calculation has been deduced using the canonical variational transition state theory (CVT) with the small-curvature tunneling correction method (SCT) over the temperature range of 200-3000 K. The CVT/SCT rate constants exhibit typical non-Arrhenius behavior, and a three-parameter rate-temperature formula has been fitted as follows:k=6.66×10- 18T2.33 exp(-60.3/T) (in units of cm3 molecule-1 s-1).

Abstract:
Photoinduced electron transfer processes between fullerenes (C60/C70) and N, N, N', N'-tetra-(p-methylphenyl)-4, 4'-diamino-1, 1'-diphenyl ether (TPDAE) have been studied by nanosecond laser flash photolysis. Quantum yields and rate constants of electron transfer from TPDAE to excited triplet state of fullerenes (C60/C70) in benzonitrile have been evaluated by observing the transient absorption bands in the near-IR region where the excited triplet state,radical anion of fullerenes (C60/C70) and radical cations of TPDAE appear.
