Published: January 2017

AbstractDevelopment of a hydrogen permeable membrane reactor in chemical process has been desired because of a great reduction of energy consumption. Previous studies were limited to Pd membranes. A new type of hydrogen permeable membrane layered three sheets (a reduction‐Pt‐catalyst sheet | a proton and electron co‐conductive sheet | an oxidation‐Pt‐catalyst sheet) was developed. The middle sheet was prepared by casting a paste of carbon powder and Nafion solution. When a gas mixture of H2 and He (1:1) was introduced to the oxidation‐catalyst compartment at 298 K, a high concentration of H2 was observed in the reduction‐catalyst compartment, a maximum H2/He ratio as 217. H2 selectively permeated through the membrane. This concept was applied for synthesis of H2O2. When O2 and H2 were respectively introduced to the Co‐N−C reduction‐catalyst and the Pt oxidation‐catalyst, production of a pure H2O2 aqueous solution of 3.8 mol dm−3 was succeeded with a good selectivity as 42 % based on H2 at 278 K.

AbstractA green, operationally simple and highly efficient one pot four‐component approach for the synthesis of 2‐hydroxy‐3‐((5‐hydroxy‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)(phenyl)methyl) naphthalene‐1,4‐dione derivatives has been developed by a domino reaction. Ethyl acetoacetate, aromatic aldehyde, 2‐hydroxynaphthaquinoline and phenylhydrazine derivative was used as the reagent and Er(OTf)3 as the catalyst. This approach offers the advantages of clean and simple methodology, short reaction time, no column purification, low environmental impact, simple isolation of product and good yield. The synthesized compounds (5a‐o) were screened for in vitro antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activities and the results were compared with standards.

Published: January 2017

AbstractMixed metal oxide composites of TiO2‐SnO2were prepared by varying the quantities of SnCl2.2H2O by the impregnation method to TiO2. Aniline monomer was polymerized in the suspension of TiO2‐SnO2to form organic‐inorganic composite materials, in which metal oxide particles were embedded within polyaniline (PANI‐SA). Formation of the composite was confirmed from FT‐IR, XRD and EDAX analyses and morphological image was found from FE‐SEM. The electrochemical properties were investigated using CV, CD and EIS analyses. PANI‐SA•TiO2‐SnO2showed higher electrochemical performances than that of PANI‐SA•TiO2or PANI‐SA•SnO2, which areattributed from (i) higher electron transfer rate due to reduction in band gap and (ii) more space between the nano rods, which allow the electrolyte to interact more surface of the electrode. The best PANI‐SA•TiO2‐SnO2material exhibited a specific capacitance of 540 F g−1with an energy density of 27 Wh kg−1at a power density of 200 W kg−1. Retention in capacitance of 85 % was obtained even at 6000 cycles and this organic‐inorganic composite fulfilled the requirement of long durability necessary for an energy storage system.
Metal Ion Directed Tautomeric Polymorphism in a Hydrazonamide/Hydrozonate System
Authors: Mandal Arkalekha , Patel Bhisma K. 
Published: January 2017

AbstractOrtho and para‐aminophenyl substituted hydrazonamide ligands viz. 2‐amino‐benzoic acid (amino‐pyridin‐2‐yl‐methylene)‐hydrazide and 4‐amino‐benzoic acid (amino‐pyridin‐2‐yl‐methylene)‐hydrazide) can exist in two tautomeric forms. The hydrazonamide (keto) form of the former ligand is only observed in free ligand, while its enolate form exists in some of its metal complexes. Both hydrazonamide and hydrazonate tautomers possess a six membered intramolecular hydrogen bond between the o‐amino group and amide oxygen or imino nitrogen respectively. As a result, hydrazonamide and hydrazonate tautomeric forms exist in different molecular conformation and thus ‘tautomeric polymorphism’ is observed in this system. The evidence of tautomerism and consequent conformational change in metal complexes of 2‐amino‐benzoic acid (amino‐pyridin‐2‐yl‐methylene)‐hydrazide is well supported by both DFT and NBO studies.
Platinum functionalized Chiral Polyamides: Efficient Heterogeneous Catalyst for Solvent Free Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Ethyl 2‐oxo‐4‐phenylbutanoate
Authors: Sharma Poonam , Sharma Rakesh K. 
Published: January 2017

AbstractThe present study highlights platinum nanoparticles incorporated chiral polyamide for asymmetric hydrogenation of carbonyl group. Chiral polyamides are synthesized from chiral monomers, camphoric dichloride and achiral diamine monomers by interfacial condensation reaction. This chiral polyamide supports have helical structure with molecular chirality. The polyamide helices provide chiral environment to platinum nanoparticles that transfer to substrate during catalytic hydrogenation. The chemical and optical selectivity increases with dispersion of platinum nanoparticles on chiral polyamide which act like isolated single atomic catalytic centers. The distribution of nanoparticles depends on spacer used in amine monomer unit. The catalytically active single atom nanoparticles have preferentially Pt (111) planes and exhibit excellent selectivity up to 10 cycles (TOF > 5400 h−1 and > 99.9% ee) in asymmetric hydrogenation reaction of ethyl 2‐oxo‐4‐phenylbutanoate under solvent free condition.

AbstractHierarchical structured cobalt phosphate (Co3(PO4)2) nanoflakes were synthesized by simple co‐precipitation method and employed as electrodes for supercapacitor. The purity and phase formation of the synthesized (Co3(PO4)2) nanoflakes were ascertained by XRD and XPS measurements. The surface morphology and elemental composition of the Co3(PO4)2 nanoflakes were observed by using FE‐SEM, TEM and EDS. The electrochemical behaviour of the present material as an anode material for supercapacitor was explored by cyclic voltammetric measurements and galvanostatic charge‐discharge analysis. The specific capacitance for the as‐synthesized and calcined (Co3(PO4)2) nanoflakes electrodes was 132 and 210 Fg−1 at a scan rate of 10 mV s−1. The enhanced electrochemical behaviour of the calcined Co3(PO4)2 nanoflakes might be due to its well crystalline nature which offers more active sites for faradaic reactions, good conductivity and rapid diffusion of the electrolyte ions. The fabricated Co3(PO4)2 electrode displayed an excellent cyclic stability with 95 % retention of initial specific capacitance after 800 cycles. An enhanced effect on the electrochemical properties of the Co3(PO4)2 nanoflakes has been proposed.

Published: January 2017

AbstractThe environmental friendly and cost‐effective few‐layered graphene nanosheets (GNs) are identified as superior adsorbent for chlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicides, such as 2,4‐dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4‐D), 2‐(2,4‐dichlorophenoxy) propanoic acid (2,4‐DP), 4‐chloro‐2‐methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), 2,4,5‐trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5‐T) and 2‐(2‐methyl‐4‐chlorophenoxy) propionic acid (MCPP) from an aqueous solution. The effects of pH, ionic strength and temperature on the adsorption of herbicides were explored. The prepared GNs showed the maximum removal efficiencies of 82, 80, 86, 82 and 70% for 2,4‐D, 2,4‐DP, 2,4,5‐T, MCPA and MCPP respectively. The results revealed that the adsorption follows a pseudo‐second‐order kinetics model and confirms the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. From the thermodynamic parameters, it is suggested that the adsorption of herbicides on GNs follows the endothermic and spontaneous processes. The results show that the electrochemically prepared GNs will be considered the suitable material for water purification in the near future.

Abstract]have been synthesized, structurally characterized and magnetically studied. X‐ray diffraction analyses indicated that the potentially pentadentate symmetric ligand affords variable coordination conformations. The copper ions are bound into hexameric moieties with helix‐like arrangement whereas cobalts with four face‐sharing monovacant distorted cubanes. Magnetic investigations revealed that within the hexanuclear unit, compound 1 exhibits antiferromagnetic interactions with the best fit parameters of J1=‐17.96 cm−1, J2=‐22.26 cm−1, zJ=‐0.56 cm−1 and R=1.1 × 10−5, while compound 2 affords ferromagnetic intramolecular couplings with the best simulation parameters of J1=+0.10 cm−1; J2=+0.15 cm−1; Jx=Jy =0.1 cm−1; Jz=0.02 cm−1; D1=‐0.50; D2=‐0.45; g1=2.67; g2=2.57. Furthermore, the compound 2 displays slow magnetic relaxation behaviour detected by ac magnetic measurement under a 600 Oe field.

AbstractWith a sudden and rapid increase in the spread of antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need for the development of novel antimicrobial therapies. Nanoparticles with antimicrobial activity provide advantages such as improved solubility, permeability, stability and selectivity. In this study, a uridine‐scaffold was connected to a pyrene fluorescent unit to obtain novel compound UPy via an economical and straightforward route. Further, fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs) were prepared via self assembly of UPy and were found to have antibacterial activity towards Gram positive bacteria. The fluorescent nature of the FONs allowed us to identify a binding partner and propose mechanism of action in vivo. We believe that UPy can be an excellent starting point for the development of novel, potent and selective antimicrobial nanotherapeutics.

Published: January 2017

AbstractA simple and efficient construction of a water‐soluble glycoconjugate bearing a cyanostilbene with glucose pendant and its interaction with proteins is reported. The absorption and fluorescence behavior of this glycoconjugate was investigated in organic solvents, binary‐solvent mixtures, water and in the presence of proteins, concanavalin A, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA). With increase in the solvent polarity, the synthesized derivative exhibited emission quenching but in dioxane‐pentane binary mixture, a significant red‐shifted emission with substantial Stokes’ shift was observed. This emission response is attributed to the formation of aggregates and the results were substantiated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis. In the presence of proteins, the fluorophore exhibits moderate binding efficiency and shows synergistic interactions with a combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions. Circular Dichroism (CD) studies with protein and the fluorophore reveals changes in ellipticity confirming the binding of the fluorophore within the protein domains.

AbstractThe interaction of the titanadihydrofuran metallacycles Cp2Ti[η2‐C(SiMe3)=C(Ph)‐C(Me)2O] (1) and Cp2Ti[η2‐C(SiMe3)= C(Ph)‐CH(Ph)O] (2) with iBu2AlH in n‐hexane at 20°C yields 1 : 1 complexes Cp2Ti[η2‐C(SiMe3)=C(Ph)‐C(Me)2O](iBu2AlH) (4) and Cp2Ti[η2‐C(SiMe3)=C(Ph)‐CH(Ph)O](iBu2AlH) (5) respectively. According to X‐ray diffraction data, the iBu2AlH molecule in 4 is coordinated by its aluminium centre with the oxygen atom whereas the hydride hydrogen atom of the iBu2AlH forms a bridge with the titanium. As a result of the complexation with iBu2AlH, the Ti−O and Ti‐C(SiMe3) bonds of the starting 1 are strongly elongated. An analogous 1 : 1 adduct (11) is formed in the interaction of iBu2AlH with the zirconadihydrofuran derivative Cp2Zr[η2‐C(SiMe3)=C(SiMe3)‐C(Me)2O] (3). Like the Ti−O and Ti‐C(SiMe3) bonds in 1, the Zr−O and Zr‐C(SiMe3) bonds in 3 are considerably elongated as a result of the coordination with iBu2AlH. The reaction of 1 with EtAlCl2 gives a complex, Cp2Ti[η2‐C(SiMe3)=C(Ph)‐C(Me)2O](EtAlCl2) (8), in which the organoaluminium compound is also coordinated by its aluminium centre with the oxygen atom. This leads to a strong elongation of the Ti−O bond. The C−O bond of the metallacycle in 8 is noticeably elongated as well but the Ti‐C(SiMe3) bond length even somewhat shortens. Complexes 4, 5, 8 and 11 are capable of catalysing ring‐opening polymerization of ϵ‐caprolactone. The highest activity is exhibited by complexes 4 and 5.

Published: January 2017

AbstractWe report an introduction of halogen atoms to liquid‐crystalline (LC) TANC derivatives to tune their electronic characters as well as the charge polarization on π‐conjugated N‐heteroacene framework. The electronegative Cl atoms can improve the electron‐accepting property of LC TANC. Also, the induced charge polarization due to the substitution of Cl atoms generates an intrinsic dipole moment on π‐conjugated N‐heteroacene framework, which is able to serve as a driving force for stabilizing self‐organization of N‐heteroacene molecules in thin films.

Published: January 2017

AbstractTargeting peptides are very promising molecules to increase tumor selectivity of anticancer drugs. Herein, we report the synthesis of three complexes, which might act at the same time as photosensitizers (PSs) for cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT), as delivery systems of Re(I)/99mTc(I) fragments into tumor cells as well as targeting agents for prostate cancer cells. To this aim, we designed a structure containing a PS such as a water soluble +3‐charged tris‐methylpyridinium porphyrin or a fulleropyrrolidine derivative, a [1,4,7]‐triazacyclononane (TACN) chelator suitable for coordination, and a bombesin BN[7‐14] as a targeting peptide. Their syntheses were performed using two different approaches: the first one was based on a Cu(I)‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC, “click reaction”) in solution, that led to compound 1, and the second one based on coupling reactions on the solid phase, that led to compounds 2 and 3. We could successfully prepare molecules bearing tumor‐targeting PSs and which are suitable for imaging applications. Overall, this work paves the way for the synthesis of theranostic complexes although the yields will need to be seriously improved and the synthetic process optimized.

Published: January 2017

AbstractIn order to improve the whole performance of a single kinds of materials, the nanoporous nickel (NPN) oxide film was fabricated by the method of interfacial electroless plating. The nickel (Ni) was deposited on the surface of the substrate in three dimensional nanoporous structure, and then the surface layer of Ni is converted into nickel oxide (NiO) after exposure to oxygen in the air. The as‐prepared nickel oxide material not only maintains the porous structure of the substrate, but also increases the specific surface area of the material and improves the conductivity, thereby significantly improving the electrochemical capacitance performance of the material which characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X‐ray spectrometer (EDS). The mass specific capacitance is 387 F g−1 and volumetric specific capacitance is 964 F cm−3. Therefore, the porous nickel oxide film is an electrode material with great potential for super capacitors.
Windbeanspruchung von Hochspannungs‐Freileitungsseilen in Naturmessungen, Zeitbereichssimulation und Norm
Authors: Stengel Dominik , Mehdianpour Milad 
Published: January 2017

AbstractDie Beanspruchung von Freileitungen erfolgt hauptsächlich durch Naturlasten. Dabei spielt für die bemessungsbestimmenden Lastfälle häufig der Wind eine entscheidende Rolle. Die Leiter, die mehrere hundert Meter weit spannen, tragen einen wesentlichen Anteil zur Gesamtbeanspruchung von Tragmasten bei, die wiederum Eigengewicht und Windlasten der Leiter zwischen zwei Abspannmasten abtragen. Wenn die Reaktion der Seile auf Starkwindereignisse abgeschätzt werden soll, müssen sowohl geometrische Nichtlinearitäten durch die großen Verformungen wie auch aerodynamische Nichtlinearitäten berücksichtigt werden. Insbesondere für die Anwendung und Berücksichtigung in Bemessungsvorschriften werden hierfür Vereinfachungen vorgenommen. In diesem Beitrag wird eine umfassende Untersuchung vorgestellt, über Naturmessungen, FEM‐Simulationen kombiniert mit Windkanalversuchen und generierten Windzeitreihen. Ziel ist es, existierende Bemessungsvorschriften im Hinblick auf die Abschätzung der Beanspruchung aus Wind auf Leiter zu validieren. Hierbei sind insbesondere die Turbulenzannahmen und das dynamische Verhalten von weitgespannten Leitern wichtig, um die Extremschnittgrößen zu beschreiben. Mithilfe von so genannten Spannweitenfaktoren sollen die relevanten Parameter, wie Spannweite und Windturbulenz, bei der Beanspruchungsabschätzung berücksichtigt werden.
Zum Ermüdungsverhalten von X‐Knoten aus quadratischen Hohlprofilen

Published: January 2017

AbstractIm Jahr 1984 wurden die ersten ausgearbeiteten Vorschläge zur Kerbfalleinteilung geschweißter X‐Knoten aus Rechteckhohlprofilen (RHP) von Mang und Bucak ([8], [9]) dem Normengremium der DIN EN 1993‐1‐9 [1] vorgelegt. Diese Normvorschläge basierten auf umfangreichen versuchstechnischen Untersuchungen und berücksichtigten die Ermüdungsfestigkeit geschweißter X Knoten in Abhängigkeit der vorhandenen Breiten‐ (b/bo) und Wanddickenverhältnisse (to/t). Da zu diesem Zeitpunkt der Umfang der Eurocode 3‐Regelungen nicht vergrößert werden sollte, wurden die ausgearbeiteten Normvorschläge nicht aufgenommen.In der aktuellen Fassung der DIN EN 1993‐1‐9 [1], dem IIW‐Dokument [2] sowie der FKM‐Richtlinie [4] sind zur Kerbfalleinteilung geschweißter X‐Knoten aus RHP keine Vorgaben nach dem Nennspannungskonzept enthalten. Die Kranbaunorm DIN EN 13001‐3‐1 [3] macht zu dieser Thematik zwar Vorgaben, diese sind allerdings äußerst konservativ gehalten. Der CIDECT Design Guide Nr. 8 [12] enthält für die Bemessung geschweißter Hohlprofilkonstruktionen in Form von T‐ bzw. X‐Knoten nach dem Nennspannungskonzept keine Angaben. In [12] sind allerdings ausführliche Angaben in Form von Bemessungsformeln und ‐diagrammen zur Ermittlung der Spannungen (SCF) und Dehnungen (SNCF) sowie Bemessungs‐Wöhlerlinien für geschweißte Rund‐ und Rechteckhohlprofilkonstruktionen nach dem Strukturspannungskonzept enthalten.Auf ausdrücklichen Wunsch industrieller Forschungspartner wurden in den vergangenen Jahren im Labor für Stahl‐ und Leichtmetallbau der Hochschule München in direkter Zusammenarbeit mit der Labor für Stahl‐ und Leichtmetallbau GmbH, Kissing, im Rahmen eines AIF‐ Forschungsprogramms [13] weiterführende Untersuchungen zum Ermüdungsverhalten von X‐Knoten aus RHP durchgeführt, auf deren Basis eine Überprüfung sowie Erweiterung des damaligen Normungsvorschlags von Bucak und Mang ([8], [9]) erfolgte. Hierbei wurde neben der Berücksichtigung weiterer geometrischer Parameter (speziell Wanddickenverhältnis to/t ≥ 2,0) auch die Anwendbarkeit der vorgeschlagenen Kerbfall einteilungen ([8], [9]) bei einer Verwendung moderner Stahlrohrgüten und aktueller, prozesssicherer Schweißverfahren überprüft und ggf. angepasst. Im folgenden Beitrag werden hierzu neu ausgearbeitete Normungsvorschläge auf Basis aktueller und umfangreicher versuchstechnischer Untersuchungen vorgestellt.

Published: January 2017

AbstractBharati, die neue indische Antarktis‐Forschungsstation, besteht aus einer selbsttragenden Konstruktion aus maßgeschneiderten ISO‐Schiffscontainern. Bis zu acht ISO‐Containereckbeschläge per Knoten wurden räumlich miteinander verbunden, wodurch ein mehrgeschossiges Gebäude entstand, dessen Gebäudeaussteifung ausschließlich durch die Container gegeben ist. Die dafür erforderlichen Containerverbindungen sind der Schlüssel zu einem effizienten Tragwerk und bestehen aus einfachen Teilen: Schrauben, Schubblocks, Verankerungsblocks, Stapelkonen und Gewindestangen. Das Zusammenspiel dieser Einzelteile ermöglicht Kraftübertragung in alle Richtung, indem sie in die Öffnungen der ISO Containereckbeschläge eingebaut werden. Die Teile lassen sich einfach von Hand mit einem Schraubenschlüssel einbauen. Die effektive Verwendung von Containern führte nicht nur zu geringerem Baumaterialverbrauch, sondern auch zu einem geringeren Ausstoß von Kohlendioxid während des Transports in die Antarktis. Darüber hinaus reduziert die neue Containerverbindung durch die gute Ausnutzung des Raumes innerhalb der Fassadenhülle sogar die Betriebskosten auf Lebenszeit des Gebäudes.
