Review
Experimental Measurement and Theoretical Simulation on the Chemical Reactive Scattering Resonance States
Huayang Wang, Xiaomin Sun, Zhengting Cai** ,Dacheng Feng
2006, 18 (01): 1-6 |
Published: 24 January 2006
Abstract
The scattering resonance states in chemistry reactions control the ratio of the chemical reactions, state distribution and space distribution of the products, and some other properties of the chemical reactions. Two kinds of methods, “indirect" methods and “direct" methods have been used for the experimental measurement on the reactive resonance. There are also two aspects in the theoretical research on the reactive resonance. One is to construct the potential energy surface (PES) of the reaction system and to analyze the scattering resonance state from the structure of the transition state in that PES. The other is to calculate the state-to-state reactive dynamics, especially to investigate the scattering resonance state with the lifetime matrix. The experimental measurements and theoretical simulation methods on the reactive scattering resonance states are introduced and the developing orientation in the future is prospected.

Abstract
On the basis of ample instances in the field of selective heterogeneous oxidation of hydrocarbon, site isolation and phase cooperation are reviewed in the light of their genesis,implementation and applications.Two important principles constitute two pillars governing selective heterogeneous catalysis.Site isolation was thought to be a prerequisite for obtaining desired partial oxidation products from the corresponding hydrocarbons in selective oxidation catalysis and it played a role in other important reactions.Phase cooperation was a function mode of different crystals through coherent interfaces and remote control mechanisms.

Copolymerization of Carbon Dioxide with 1,2-Epoxides
Jiesheng Tian,Jinquan Wang,Ya Du,Liangnian He**
2006, 18 (01): 74-79 |
Published: 24 January 2006
Abstract
Since the discovery of catalysts for the copolymerization of carbon dioxide and 1, 2-epoxides in the late 1960s by Inoue, the design and synthesis of the efficient catalysts for the selective coupling of 1,2-epoxides and carbon dioxide to afford biodegradable copolymers have made significant gains. It is becoming increasingly clear that this “greener” route to polycarbonates is potential to be supplement to or even supplant current processes for the production of these important thermoplastics, which involve the polymerization of diols and phosgene or organic carbonates. In addition, there is a growing demand for biodegradable polymeric materials. Polycarbonates made from carbon dioxide and 1,2-epoxide have the potential to meet these goals. This review summarizes the polycarbonate synthesis by the copolymerization of 1,2-epoxide and carbon dioxide in the last five years, especially the mechanism and the effects of catalytic activity on the copolymerization.

2006, 18 (01): 93-99 |
Published: 24 January 2006
Abstract
Halogenated organic compounds are environmental contaminants which are of strong toxicity and difficult to be biodegraded. Traditional technologies encounter some obstacles such as non-complete degradation, low efficiency and so on. The nanotechnology is a new promising method for the treatment of halogenated organic compounds, which dehalogenates from organic compounds using nano metals/bimetals. Nowadays, synthesis of iron nanoparticles from Fe(Ⅱ) and Fe(Ⅲ) can be achieved, which can dehalogenate effectively, as well as restore groundwater and soil in situ or ex situ. In this paper, recent developments in both laboratory and pilot studies are assessed, including: synthesis and modification of nanoparticles, studies on degradation of halogenated organic compounds by nanoparticles such as capabilities, mechanism, kinetics, field studies and so on, perspectives of this technology.
