Octa(aminophenyl)silsesquioxane (OAPS) was prepared from octaphenyl silsesquioxane (OPS) in two steps, first nitration to obtain Octa(nitrophenyl)silsesquioxane (ONPS) then reduction by using the stable, inexpensive, and readily available hydrazine hydrate as the reducing agent in the presence of Iron(III)Chloride catalyst with a yield of around 87%. Hydrazine is a two-electron reducing agent whereas nitro group is a four-electron reduction process. The activated carbon serves as an adsorbent and electrical conductor enabling the reaction to occur by acting as a mediator between a two-electron reagent and a four-electron process. Adsorption provides a reducing potential and a supply of electrons from many hydrazines making possible the initial four-electron process even though each individual hydrazine is a two-electron donor. The product was characterized by FTIR and 1 H NMR. The time period for preparation of ONPS from octaphenyl silsesquioxane was considerably shortened to avoid double nitration of the aromatic rings.
The paper studied the change of the coal characteristics based on the influence of lignite naturally oxidated in air. The original lignite and lignite naturally oxidated under different time were analyzed by the FTIR technology. The reason that metamorphism of lignite was vulnerable by oxygen was analyzed from the side of coal molecular structure. It indicates that lignite of a low rank coal easily oxidated is mainly because lignite has more active groups in coal molecular such as methyl, methylene, hydroxyl, aromatic ether, oxygen button and ether key. In lignite molecular, side chains of aromatic ring structure unit is firstly oxidized. The bridge button or side chains of coal molecular structure unit are easily oxidized at the same time with the structure of the bridge between units fracturing oxidation. Number of aromatic hydrocarbons remains stable after oxidation. General trend of cycloparafin hydrocarbon as well as aliphatic hydrocarbon are gradually reduced over the oxidized time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
