Abstract:
The promoter effects of rare earth ions on the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol at the Pt electrode were studied using the cyclic voltammetry and stable polarization techniques. It was found for the first time that Eu Ho Dy ions could accelerate the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol at the Pt electrode, while Lu Pr Yb Sm ions showed inhibitor effects.

Abstract:
Polyether-tailored phosphite modified rhodium complex formed in situ was highly active in the hydroformylation of oleyl alcohol in nonaqueous phosphite/heptane system where the phosphite acted both as the ligand and the second phase. This catalyst was easily separated by simple decantation and can be used for five times with only a slight decrease in activity.

Abstract:
Through B3LYP/6-31G** calculations, the 1, 4-pyrone effects on O-H bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of catechols in rings A or B of flavonoids were investigated. For the catechol in ring A, although 1, 4-pyrone enlarged the conjugation system, its electron-withdrawing property increased the O-H BDE~3×4.184 kJ/mol compared with that of catechol. However, for the catechol in ring B, 1, 4-pyrone was poorly conjugated with the moiety,and therefore, had little effect on the O-H BDE.

The phthalate esters such as DMP, DEP, DBP and DEHP in air, soil and plant samples in plastic film greenhouse were clean up with fine silica gel column and determined with HPLC. It was found that the concentrations of PEs in air and soil samples in plastic film greenhouse are much higher than those of contrast samples. But concentrations of PEs in plants in plastic film greenhouse are not remarkably affected by the pollution of air and soil.

Abstract:
The interface between a-PMMA thin film and silver mirror substrate was investigated using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). It is found that the molecular chain axis of a-PMMA tends to parallel the substrate in the interface. When the sample is annealed at different temperatures, some interesting changes appear in the SERS spectra. The spectra differences and their transition are due to the surface geometry change of the ester group.

Transient absorption bands of [60]fullerene-containing cyclic sulphoxide showed two decay-components, which were attributed to triplet excited states of different spin multiplicity. The properties of photoexcited states of [60]fullerene-containing cyclic sulphoxide are also reported.

Abstract:
A spectrometric setup to perform total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) and synchronous TIRF measurements at solid/liquid interfaces is presented. The combination of TIRF and synchronous fluorescence was proposed to analyze simultaneously different components at interfaces. The TIRF excitation, emission and synchronous spectra of a water-soluble porphyrin were obtained from water/glass interface using this setup without the existence of a surfactant.

Abstract:
The composite films, XW11O39n-/SiO2, (X refers to Si, Ge or P, respectively) were prepared by tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) hydrolysis sol-gel method via spin-coating technique.Formation of the composite films is due to strong chemical reaction of organic silanol group with the surface oxygen atoms of XW11O39n-, resulted in the saturation of the surface of the lacunary polyoxometalates (POMs). Therefore, the coordination structural model of the films was proposed. As for the films, retention of the primary Keggin structure was confirmed by UV-vis,FT-IR spectra and MAS NMR. The surface morphology of the films was characterized by SEM,indicating that the film surface is relatively uniform, and the layer thickness is in the range of 250~350 nm. Aqueous formic acid (FA) (0-20 mmol/L) was degraded into CO2 and H2O byirradiating the films in the near-UV area. The results show that all the films have photocatalytic activities and the degradation reaction follows Langmuir-Hinshelwood first order kinetics.

Abstract:
This paper describes the potential of heterogeneous catalytic ozonization of sulfo-salicylic acid (SSal). It was found that catalytic ozonization in the presence of Mn-Zr-O (a modified manganese dioxide supported on silica gel) had significantly enhanced the removal rate (72%) of total organic carbon (TOC) compared with that of ozonization alone (19%). The efficient removal rate of TOC was probably due to increasing the adsorption ability of catalyst and accelerating decomposition of ozone to produce more powerful oxidants than ozone.
