The methyl glucoside tetranitrates reacted vigorously at room temperature with an excess of hydroxylamine base dissolved in anhydrous pyridine. Gas consisting of 91% nitrogen and amounting to 1.25 to 1.3 moles per mole was evolved within 20 min. and only a little more during the next 12 hr. Approximately 1.35 moles of nitrate groups in the original tetranitrate had been replaced by hydroxyl groups, for the most part at least without Walden inversions or other change, because hydrogenation of the sirupy product reduced it in more than 80% yield to crystalline methyl glucoside. The product from methyl-β-glucoside tetranitrate consisted of the 2,3,6-trinitrate (28%), the 3,6-dinitrate (17%), and an unidentified trinitrate (8%) which might have been a mixture.The structures of the first two compounds were confirmed by preparing the fully methylated derivatives, denitrating the latter, and identifying the resulting known, partly methylated methyl-β-glucosides. New syntheses of methyl-β-glucoside-3,6-dinitrate, methyl 2,4-dimethyl-β-glucoside, and methyl-4-methyl-β-glucoside were found.

The mixed form of α/β lactose was obtained by heating amorphous α-lactose at 443 K. NMR spectroscopy determined the stoichiometry of this mixed compound to be 1/1. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern was recorded at room temperature with a sensitive curved detector (CPS 120). The structure was solved by real-space methods (simulated annealing) followed by Rietveld refinements with soft constraints on bond lengths and bond angles. The H atoms of the hydroxyl groups were localized by minimization of the crystalline energy. The cell of 1/1 α/β lactose is triclinic with the space group P1 and contains two molecules (one molecule of each anomer). The crystalline cohesion is achieved by networks of O—H...O hydrogen bonds. The width of the Bragg peaks is interpreted through a microstructural approach in terms of isotropic strain effects and anisotropic size effects.

In this study, soda alkali lignin from oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB-AL) and kenaf core (KC-AL) are esterified with maleic anhydride under two different conditions, namely i) pyridine at temperature of 120°C for 3h and ii) aqueous alkaline solution at room temperature for 4h. As a result, the weight percentage gain (WPG) of the esterified EFB-AL (EFB-EL) and esterified KC-AL (KC-EL) in pyridine demonstrated a higher compared to aqueous alkaline solution. The FT-IR results of EFB-EL and KC-EL in both solvents exhibited some changes at the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups. Furthermore, the esterification process induced the carboxylic peak to appear in both alkali lignin samples. The outcome is confirmed by conducting H-NMR analysis, which demonstrated ester and carboxylic acid peaks within the spectral analysis. Finally, the TGA results showed both EFB-EL and KC-EL that are exposed to aqueous alkaline actually possessed better thermal stability and higher activation energy (Ea) compared to the esterified samples in pyridine.

The stable anhydrous form of α-lactose has been obtained by the dehydration of α-lactose monohydrate in methanol. An X-ray powder diffraction pattern was recorded at room temperature with a laboratory diffractometer equipped with an INEL curved sensitive detector CPS120. The starting structural model of this form was found by a Monte-Carlo simulated annealing method. The structure was obtained through Rietveld refinements and the minimization of crystalline energy for the localization of the H atoms of the hydroxyl groups. Soft restraints were applied to bond lengths and angles. Networks of O—H...O hydrogen bonds account for the crystalline cohesion. A comparison is made between the hydrogen-bond networks of this form and those of the monohydrate and hygroscopic anhydrous forms of α-lactose.

The ammonium salts of the complex anions trans-diiodobis(ethanedial-dioximato)-cobaltate(III), [Col2(GH)2]-, and trans-diiodobis(ethanedial-dioximato)rhodate(III), [RhI2(GH)2]- (GH- = ethanedial dioximate or glyoximate), have been synthesized and their structures determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data at room temperature. The crystals of the two salts are monoclinic, space group C2/c. NH4[CoI2(GH)2] (I) crystallizes as dark-brown prisms with a greenish reflectance; its crystal data are: C4H10Col2N5O4, Mr = 504.90; a = 8.910(6), b = 11.700(9), c = 11.691(6) Å; β = 93.55(5)°; V = 1216.4 Å3; Z = 4; Dc = 2.78 Mg m-3. NH4[RhI2(GH)2] (II) crystallizes as yellow-brown blocks with crystal data: C4H10I2N5O4Rh, Mr = 548.88; a = 9.038(4), b = 11.949(5), c = 11.770(3) Å; β = 95.54(3)°; V = 1265.16 A3; Z = 4; Dc = 2.87 Mg m-3. The two structures were refined to a final RW = 0.045 for 1209 observed independent reflections and 95 parameters for I, and to a final RW = 0.040 for 1922 observed independent reflections and 87 parameters for II. The coordination geometry around Co or Rh in the anionic complexes is a distorted (4 + 2) octahedron of four equatorial chelating N atoms and two apical iodides. The H atoms of the hydroxyl groups are involved, as usual, in intramolecular O—H—O bridges with uniform Ο···Ο separations of 2.582 Å for I, and 2.713 Å for II. The rectilinear I—Co—I or I—Rh—I triads form “infinite” zigzag chains extending parallel to the ab plane, with a weak I—I contact of 3.988 Å for I, and 4.010 Å for II.

A mild methylation of phenolic hydroxyl groups with iodomethane was enabled in the presence of sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide at room temperature. The reverse reaction, namely demethylation of methyl phenyl ethers, was easily achieved by microwave heating with neat iodotrimethylsilane.

Uniform CoSn(OH)6 hollow nanoboxes and the derivative with Pt loading (Pt/CoSn(OH)6) were herein synthesized and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). SEM and TEM analyses showed that CoSn(OH)6 possessed mesoporous hollow structure and Pt nanoparticles with size of 2–8[Formula: see text]nm were uniformly dispersed on the surface of CoSn(OH)6 nanoboxes. The performances of the catalysts for the formaldehyde (HCHO) removal at room temperature were evaluated. These Pt/CoSn(OH)6 catalysts exhibited a remarkable catalytic activity as well as stability for room-temperature oxidative decomposition of gaseous HCHO, while the corresponding CoSn(OH)6 only showed adsorption. The synergetic effect between the highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles and the CoSn(OH)6 nanoboxes with mesoporous hollow structure, a large surface area and abundant surface hydroxyl groups is considered to be the main reason for the observed high catalytic activity of Pt/CoSn(OH)6.

AbstractTo solve the environmental pollution problem caused by low-grade silica fume (SiO2, < 86 mass%) and further expand its application field, the morphological development of low-grade silica fume from room temperature to 900 °C in air was investigated using TG-DTA, SEM and TEM techniques. The structural development of silica fume was further analyzed using FT-IR and Raman spectrum. The results show that silica fume contains many defects of broken bands such as Si-O or ≡Si at room temperature. When exposed to the moister or water, the broken bonds tend to react with water and result in the formation of Si-OH and adjacent hydroxyl groups of Si-OH•OH-Si. At elevated temperature up to 900 °C, the structure of silica fume becomes compact due to the reconstruction of the broken bonds caused by the dehydration reaction.

The phase behaviour and self-assembly structural parameters of a pair of monosaccharide and disaccharide Guerbet branched-chain β-D-glycosides, namely 2-octyldodecyl β-D-glucoside (β-Glc-C12C8) and 2-octyldodecyl β-D-maltoside (β-Mal-C12C8), have been studied by means of optical polarizing microscopy (OPM) and small-angle X-ray diffraction at room temperature (25°C). These compounds are sugar-based glycolipid surfactants having a total chain length of C20, and differ based on the increasing number of hydroxyl groups of the sugar headgroup (glucose and maltose). The repeat spacings obtained by X-ray diffraction as a function of water content have been used to determine the limiting hydration for the two glycosides. At room temperature, β-Glc-C12C8 and β-Mal-C12C8 have limiting hydrations of 22 wt% and 25 wt%, corresponding to 8 10 and 10 12 water molecules per glycoside, respectively. At all water contents between 5 and 29 wt % water, these compounds adopt inverse hexagonal (HII) or fluid lamellar (Lα) phases. The structural parameters of these phases have been determined from the diffraction data, from the X-ray repeat spacings, densities and concentration of the glycosides.

Calculations of chemical reactions between C20, C60, hydrogen and water molecules are carried out using the PM3 method. Reactions with a hydrogen release at room temperature and atmospheric pressure are identified by the Gibbs energy change. The hydrogen release can be raised by increasing the number of water molecules in chlorine-assisted decomposition of fullerenes. Calculations of the Gibbs energy of chemical reactions involving water molecules between two parallel curved graphene sheets are carried out using DFT with the functional UB3LYP. During pumping between plates of an electric capacitor designed from curved graphene sheets, the water vapor with the assistance of external illumination is enriched by electrically neutral hydroxyl groups (OH)0.
