First-principles method has been used to study the intrinsic brittlement of Mo3Si. The crystal constants, formation energy, cohesive energy, electronic structure, elastic constants of Mo3Si were calculated. The results were in good agreement with experiment data. Electronic structures showed that the strong covalent bonding between the nearest neighbour Mo atoms, which arrange perpendicularly each other, leads to embrittlement of Mo3Si.

A detailed kinetic investigation has been made of the specific role of pyridine when added to the methanolysis and radiochloride exchange reactions of triphenylmethyl chloride in benzene. It is concluded that neither of the two proposals in the literature, i.e. that it reacts with the alkyl halide to form a quaternary ammonium salt or that it has no effect whatever except to take up the hydrogen chloride product, is correct. The present results indicate that pyridine forms a complex with the triphenylmethyl chloride, without strong covalent bonding, which has a distinctive effect on the kinetics of the reactions.

We have investigated Vickers hardness and the thermodynamic properties of the recently discovered nanolaminate carbide Ti3SnC2 polymorphs using the first-principles calculations. The chemical bonding shows a combination of covalent, ionic and metallic types. The strong covalent bonding is mainly responsible for high Vickers hardness of Ti3SnC2 polymorphs. Thermodynamic properties are studied using the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The variation of bulk modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, specific heats, and Debye temperature with applied pressure (P) and temperature (T) are investigated systematically within the ranges of 0 - 50 GPa and 0 - 1000 K. The calculated results have been compared with available experimental and theoretical data.

Electronic properties of orthorhombic SSM ([Formula: see text] and monoclinic SSM ([Formula: see text] are investigated using the first-principles calculation. The half-metallic behavior that leads to the mixed ionic and electronic conductivity (MIEC) property is identified in orthorhombic SSM. In addition, the strong covalent bonding between [Formula: see text]-p and [Formula: see text]-s orbitals of orthorhombic SSM is identified from the PDOS plot. The strong covalent bonding enhances the [Formula: see text] molecular adsorption on Mn atom. On the other hand, monoclinic SSM shows the pure conducting behavior and there is no covalent bonding between Mn and O atoms. Thus, the results suggest that the half-metal Sm[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]MnO3 might be a suitable cathode material for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells.

AbstractAsymmetric hydroboration of simple and unactivated terminal alkenes (α-olefins), feedstock chemicals derived from the petrochemical industry, has not been efficiently realized for past decades. Using a bulky ANIPE ligand, we achieved a rare example of highly enantioselective copper-catalyzed Markovnikov hydroboration of α-olefins. The chiral secondary alkylboronic ester products were obtained in moderate to good yields and regioselectivities with excellent enantioselectivities.1 Introduction2 Conditions Optimization3 Substrate Scope4 Application5 Mechanistic Discussion6 Conclusions and Future Directions

In order to explore co-production alternatives, a once-through process for CO2 hydrogenation to chemicals and liquid fuels was investigated experimentally. In this approach, two different catalysts were considered; the first was a Cu-based catalyst that hydrogenates CO2 to methanol and CO and the second a Fisher–Tropsch (FT) Co-based catalyst. The two catalysts were loaded into different reactors and were initially operated separately. The experimental results show that: (1) the Cu catalyst was very active in both the methanol synthesis and reverse-water gas shift (R-WGS) reactions and these two reactions were restricted by thermodynamic equilibrium; this was also supported by an Aspen plus simulation of an (equilibrium) Gibbs reactor. The Aspen simulation results also indicated that the reactor can be operated adiabatically under certain conditions, given that the methanol reaction is exothermic and R-WGS is endothermic. (2) the FT catalyst produced mainly CH4 and short chain saturated hydrocarbons when the feed was CO2/H2. When the two reactors were coupled in series and the presence of CO in the tail gas from the first reactor (loaded with Cu catalyst) significantly improves the FT product selectivity toward higher carbon hydrocarbons in the second reactor compared to the standalone FT reactor with only CO2/H2 in the feed.
