A General Small-Scale Reactor To Enable Standardization and Acceleration of Photocatalytic Reactions.

ABSTRACT: Photocatalysis for organic synthesis has experienced an exponential growth in the past 10 years. However, the variety of experimental procedures that have been reported to perform photon-based catalyst excitation has hampered the establishment of general protocols to convert visible light into chemical energy. To address this issue, we have designed an integrated photoreactor for enhanced photon capture and catalyst excitation. Moreover, the evaluation of this new reactor in eight photocatalytic transformations that are widely employed in medicinal chemistry settings has confirmed significant performance advantages of this optimized design while enabling a standardized protocol.

Fluorescent Fluid in 3D-Printed Microreactors for the Acceleration of Photocatalytic Reactions.

Project description:The photochemical microreactor has been a burgeoning field with important application in promoting photocatalytic reactions. The integration of light-converting media and microflow chemistry renders new opportunity for efficient utilization of light and high conversion rate. However, the flexibility of emission light wavelength regulation and the universality of the microreactor remain significant problems to be solved. Here, a photochemical microreactor filled with fluorescent fluid is fabricated by a 3D printing technique. The light-converting medium in the fluorescent fluid is used to collect and convert light, and then delivers light energy to the embedded continuous-flow reaction channels to promote the chemical reaction process. With the merits of flowability, different light-converting media can be replaced, making it a general tool for photocatalytic reactions in rapid screening, parameters optimization, and kinetic mechanism research.

Resilience in the General Population: Standardization of the Resilience Scale (RS-11).

Project description:BackgroundThe objectives of the study were to generate normative data for the RS-11 for different age groups for men and women and to further investigate the construct validity and factor structure in the general population.MethodsNationally representative face-to face household surveys were conducted in Germany in 2006 (n = 5,036).ResultsNormative data for the RS-11 were generated for men and women (53.7% female) and different age levels (mean age (SD) of 48.4 (18.0) years). Men had significantly higher mean scores compared with women (60.0 [SD = 10.2] vs. 59.3 [SD = 11.0]). Results of CFA supported a one-factor model of resilience. Self-esteem (standardized β = .50) and life satisfaction (standardized β =.20) were associated with resilience.ConclusionsThe normative data provide a framework for the interpretation and comparisons of resilience with other populations. Results demonstrate a special importance of self-esteem in the understanding of resilience.

Scale-Up of a Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Degradation Using a Photochemical Rotor-Stator Spinning Disk Reactor.

Project description:Many chemical reactions contain heterogeneous reagents, products, byproducts, or catalysts, making their transposition from batch to continuous-flow processing challenging. Herein, we report the use of a photochemical rotor-stator spinning disk reactor (pRS-SDR) that can handle and scale solid-containing photochemical reaction conditions in flow. Its ability to handle slurries was showcased for the TiO2-mediated aerobic photodegradation of aqueous methylene blue. The use of a fast rotating disk imposes high shear forces on the multiphase reaction mixture, ensuring its homogenization, increasing the mass transfer, and improving the irradiation profile of the reaction mixture. The pRS-SDR performance was also compared to other lab-scale reactors in terms of water treated per reactor volume and light power input.

Social support in the general population: standardization of the Oslo social support scale (OSSS-3).

Project description:BackgroundThe objectives of the study were to generate normative data for the Oslo Social Support Scale (OSSS-3) for different age groups for men and women and to further investigate the factor structure in the general population.MethodsNationally representative face-to face household surveys were conducted in Germany in 2008 (n?=?2524).ResultsNormative data for the Oslo Social Support Scale were generated for men and women (52.3% female) and different age levels (mean age (SD) of 48.9 (18.3) years). Men had mean scores comparable to women (10.1 [SD?=?2.3] vs. 10.2 [SD?=?2.2]). The EFA resulted in a clear one-factor solution for the OSSS-3.ConclusionsThe normative data provide a framework for the interpretation and comparisons of social support with other populations.

An FEP Microfluidic Reactor for Photochemical Reactions.

Project description:Organic syntheses based on photochemical reactions play an important role in the medical, pharmaceutical, and polymeric chemistry. For years, photochemistry was performed using high-pressure mercury lamps and immersion-wells. However, due to excellent yield, control of temperature, selectivity, low consumption of reagents and safety, the microreactors made of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) tubings have recently been used more frequently. Fluoropolymers are the material of choice for many types of syntheses due to their chemical compatibility and low surface energy. The use of tubing restricts the freedom in designing 2D and 3D geometries of the sections of the microreactors, mixing sections, etc., that are easily achievable in the format of a planar chip. A chip microreactor made of FEP is impracticable to develop due to its high chemical inertness and high melting temperature, both of which make it difficult (or impossible) to bond two plates of polymer. Here, we demonstrate a 'click' system, where the two plates of FEP are joined together mechanically using a tenon and a mortise. The concept was presented by us previously for a preparation polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) microreactor (Szymborski et al. Sensors Actuators, B Chem. 2017, doi:10.1016/j.snb.2017.09.035). Here, we use the same strategy for FEP plates, test the use of the chips in photochemistry and also describe a custom-designed non-transparent polyethylene (PE) mask-holder with a circular opening to guide and focus the ultraviolet (UV) illumination. The solutions that we describe offer tight microreactor chips, preventing any leakage either of the liquid reagents or of UV light outside the reactor. This allows for conducting photochemical synthesis without a fume hood and without special protection against UV radiation.

Effective Decolorization of Rhodamine B by a Ti Foam-Based Photocatalytic Membrane Reactor.

Project description:In this study, a Ti foam-based photocatalytic membrane reactor (PMR) was constructed for rhodamine B (RhB) wastewater decolorization. Ti foam was chosen as a membrane and visible-light-driven C3N4 was chosen as a photocatalyst. The results showed that the decolorization efficiency could be up to 100% with a flow rate of 6.93 mL/min when the PMR was applied in the treatment of a 30 mg/L RhB solution and the concentration of C3N4 was 1 g/L. pH played an important role in the decolorization performance of the PMR. Alkalinity was not conducive to the decolorization of RhB in the PMR, which was mainly due to the property that RhB was difficult to dissolve in an alkaline solution. Membrane fouling was mainly caused by a C3N4 photocatalyst, while the effect of RhB on membrane fouling was negligible. Membrane fouling could be retarded when the PMR was applied for RhB treatment under visible-light irradiation, which was because of photoinduced hydrophilicity of C3N4. The membrane flux could be restored to its initial values after simple ultrasonic cleaning and backwashing. This was due to the large difference between the pore size of Ti foam and the particle size of C3N4 and the super hydrophilicity of Ti foam and C3N4.

Selective acceleration of disfavored enolate addition reactions by anion-? interactions.

Project description:In chemistry and biology, cation-? interactions contribute significantly to many important transformations. In sharp contrast, reactions accomplished with support from the complementary anion-? interactions are essentially unknown. In this report, we show that anion-? interactions can determine the selectivity of the enolate chemistry of malonate half thioesters. Their addition to enolate acceptors is central in natural product biosynthesis but fails without enzymes because non-productive decarboxylation dominates. The newly designed and synthesized anion-? tweezers invert this selectivity by accelerating the disfavored and decelerating the favored process. The discrimination of anionic tautomers of different planarization and charge delocalization on ?-acidic surfaces is expected to account for this intriguing "tortoise-and-hare catalysis." Almost exponentially increasing selectivity with increasing ? acidity of the catalyst supports that contributions from anion-? interactions are decisive.

A flow reactor setup for photochemistry of biphasic gas/liquid reactions.

Project description:A home-built microreactor system for light-mediated biphasic gas/liquid reactions was assembled from simple commercial components. This paper describes in full detail the nature and function of the required building elements, the assembly of parts, and the tuning and interdependencies of the most important reactor and reaction parameters. Unlike many commercial thin-film and microchannel reactors, the described set-up operates residence times of up to 30 min which cover the typical rates of many organic reactions. The tubular microreactor was successfully applied to the photooxygenation of hydrocarbons (Schenck ene reaction). Major emphasis was laid on the realization of a constant and highly reproducible gas/liquid slug flow and the effective illumination by an appropriate light source. The optimized set of conditions enabled the shortening of reaction times by more than 99% with equal chemoselectivities. The modular home-made flow reactor can serve as a prototype model for the continuous operation of various other reactions at light/liquid/gas interfaces in student, research, and industrial laboratories.

Energy and molecules from photochemical/photocatalytic reactions. An overview.

Project description:Photocatalytic reactions have been defined as those processes that require both a (not consumed) catalyst and light. A previous definition was whether such reactions brought a system towards or away from the (thermal) equilibrium. This consideration brings in the question whether a part of the photon energy is incorporated into the photochemical reaction products. Data are provided for representative organic reactions involving or not molecular catalysts and show that energy storage occurs only when a heavily strained structure is generated, and in that case only a minor part of photon energy is actually stored (?G up to 25 kcal·mol-1). The green role of photochemistry/photocatalysis is rather that of forming highly reactive intermediates under mild conditions.

On the mechanism of photocatalytic reactions with eosin Y.

Project description:A combined spectroscopic, synthetic, and apparative study has allowed a more detailed mechanistic rationalization of several recently reported eosin Y-catalyzed aromatic substitutions at arenediazonium salts. The operation of rapid acid-base equilibria, direct photolysis pathways, and radical chain reactions has been discussed on the basis of pH, solvent polarity, lamp type, absorption properties, and quantum yields. Determination of the latter proved to be an especially valuable tool for the distinction between radical chain and photocatalytic reactions.
