Abstract:
The mechanism of the formation of a key tricyclic lactam intermediate 3 was studied. It was found that the E-form compound 3 was transformed from the Z-form compound 4. The formation of 4 was a kinetically controlled process while the formation of 3 was a thermodynamically favorable one. A possible mechanism was given in this paper.

Abstract:
In this paper, methane coupling at ambient temperature, under atmospheric pressure and in the presence of hydrogen was firstly investigated by using pulse corona plasma and Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. Experimental results showed that Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalyst has catalytic activity for methane coupling to C2H4. Over sixty percent of outcomes of C2 hydrocarbons were detected to be ethylene.

Abstract:
Discharge performance of K2FeO4 electrode under different conditions was studied by the constant electric current discharge method. The electrochemical characteristics of K2FeO4 electrode were investigated for the first time by means of cyclic voltammetry. The results show that the K2FeO4 electrode made at moderate pressure (20 MPa) and discharged at lower current has better discharge performance. It is also found that K2FeO4 electrode is significantly rechargeable.

Abstract:
Stable s-butyl n-heptafluorobutyryl nitroxide 3 has been generated in an electron-transfer reaction in F113 (CFCl2CF2Cl) solution at r.t. The aN values for 3 in 11 aprotic solvents show a linear correlation with cybotactic solvent parameters ET and Z. The physical significance for slopes, slope×ET or slope×Z, and the extrapolated intercepts on the aN axis are well established. The plots of aN versus noncybotactic solvent parameters, such as dipolar moment and dielectric constant, are badly behaved.

Abstract:
Gt factor is a low-molecular-weight peptide isolated from the extracellular culture of wood-degrading fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum. It is capable of enhancing degradation of cellulose. Its action mechanism was investigated and it was found that Gt factor could reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy revealed in the presence of O2, Gt factor could drive the formation of H2O2 via a superoxide anion O2.- intermediate and mediate the generation of hydroxyl radical HO· in a Fenton-type reaction. All these provided evidence for the formation of HO· in some wood-degrading fungi.

Abstract:
The particles of ferric aluminum magnesium hydrotalcite-like compounds (Fe-Al-Mg_HTlc) were synthesized by co-precipitation method. It was found that when n(Fe)/n(Al+Mg+Fe)<0.30 and n(Al)/n(Al+Mg+Fe)<0.30, pure HTlc can be formed; when the molar ratio of Al/(Fe+Al+Mg)>0.30, Al(OH)3 will emerge; when the molar ratio of Fe/(Fe+Al+Mg)>0.30, the amorphous composition will appear. Hence Fe3+ and Al3+ have no concentration superposition effect on the crystal structure of the samples.

Abstract:
The Zn-Cu(Ⅰ)/HMCM-41 catalysts were successfully prepared in laboratory scale by solid-state ion exchange with CuCl salt, together with introduction of Zn to improve the dispersion degree of the active component Cu(Ⅰ) on the surface. With increase of the amounts of Zn and CuCl from 0% to 9.0% and 25.0% respectively, CO adsorption the amounts of increased from 10.6 μmol/g to 183.0 μmol/g correspondingly. The in situ FT-IR spectra for CO adsorption demonstrated that there existed two dynamic equilibriums between surface carbonyl complexes:Cu(CO)3⇔Cu(CO)2++CO and Cu(CO)2+⇔Cu(CO)++CO. The equilibriums can be shifted reversibly by changing the temperature and pressure. Due to the modified MCM-41 mesoporous materials possess both of the acidic and metallic carbonyl centers, this kind of material can be developed into mesoporous bifunctional catalysts for carbonylation reactions, in which larger molecules are involved.

Abstract:
The cheap commercial activated carbon (AC) was improved through the secondary activation under steam in the presence of FeCl2 catalyst in the temperature range of 800-950℃ and its application in electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) with organic electrolyte was studied. The re-activation of AC results in the increases in both specific capacitance and high rate capability of EDLCs. For AC treated under optimized conditions, its discharge specific capacitance increases up to 55.65 F/g, an increase of about 33% as compared to the original AC, and the high rate capability was increased significantly. The good performances of EDLC with improved AC were correlated to the increasing mesoporous ratio.

Abstract:
The potential energy surface for the CH3S+NO2 reaction has been studied using the ab initio G3 (MP2) method. A variety of possible complexes and saddle points along the minimum energy reaction paths have been characterized at UMP2 (full)/6-31G(d) level. The calculations reveal dominating reaction mechanisms of the title reaction:CH3S+NO2 firstly produce intermediate CH3SONO, then break up into CH3SO+NO. The results are valuable to understand the atmospheric sulfur compounds oxidation mechanism.
