S6 N2 O15 -A Nitrogen-Poor Sulfur Nitride Oxide, and the Anhydride of Nitrido-tris-Sulfuric Acid.

ABSTRACT: The reaction of hexachlorophosphazene, P3 N3 Cl6 , with SO3 leads to the new sulfur nitride oxide S6 N2 O15 . The compound displays an extraordinarily low nitrogen content and exhibits a bicyclic cage structure according to the formulation N{S(O)2 O(O)2 S}3 N, with both nitrogen atoms in trigonal planar coordination of sulfur atoms. Interestingly, the new nitride oxide can be also seen as the anhydride of nitrido-tris-sulfuric acid, N(SO3 H)3 .

Silylated Sulfuric Acid: Preparation of a Tris(trimethylsilyl)oxosulfonium [(Me3 Si-O)3 SO]+ Salt.

Project description:The chemistry of silylated sulfuric acid, O2 S(OSiMe3 )2 (T2 SO4 , T=Me3 Si; also known as bis(trimethylsilyl) sulfate), has been studied in detail with the aim of synthesizing the formal autosilylation products of silylated sulfuric acid, [T3 SO4 ]+ and [TSO4 ]- , in analogy to the known protonated species, [H3 SO4 ]+ and [HSO4 ]- . The synthesis of the [TSO4 ]- ion only succeeds when a base, such as OPMe3 that forms a weakly coordinating cation upon silylation, is reacted with T2 SO4 , resulting in the formation of [Me3 POT]+ [TSO4 ]- . [T3 SO4 ]+ salts could be isolated starting from T2 SO4 in the reaction with [T-H-T]+ [B(C6 F5 )4 ]- or T+ [CHB11 Br6 H5 ]- when a weakly coordinating anion is used as counterion. All silylated compounds could be crystallized and structurally characterized.

The life sulfuric: microbial ecology of sulfur cycling in marine sediments.

Project description:Almost the entire seafloor is covered with sediments that can be more than 10 000 m thick and represent a vast microbial ecosystem that is a major component of Earth's element and energy cycles. Notably, a significant proportion of microbial life in marine sediments can exploit energy conserved during transformations of sulfur compounds among different redox states. Sulfur cycling, which is primarily driven by sulfate reduction, is tightly interwoven with other important element cycles (carbon, nitrogen, iron, manganese) and therefore has profound implications for both cellular- and ecosystem-level processes. Sulfur-transforming microorganisms have evolved diverse genetic, metabolic, and in some cases, peculiar phenotypic features to fill an array of ecological niches in marine sediments. Here, we review recent and selected findings on the microbial guilds that are involved in the transformation of different sulfur compounds in marine sediments and emphasise how these are interlinked and have a major influence on ecology and biogeochemistry in the seafloor. Extraordinary discoveries have increased our knowledge on microbial sulfur cycling, mainly in sulfate-rich surface sediments, yet many questions remain regarding how sulfur redox processes may sustain the deep-subsurface biosphere and the impact of organic sulfur compounds on the marine sulfur cycle.

Predicting Nitrogen-Based Families of Compounds: Transition-Metal Guanidinates TCN3 (T=V, Nb, Ta) and Ortho-Nitrido Carbonates T'2 CN4 (T'=Ti, Zr, Hf).

Project description:Due to its unsurpassed capability to engage in various sp hybridizations or orbital mixings, carbon may contribute in expanding solid-state nitrogen chemistry by allowing for different complex anions, such as the known NCN2- carbodiimide unit, the so far unknown CN3 5- guanidinate anion, and the likewise unknown CN4 8- ortho-nitrido carbonate (onc) entity. Because the latter two complex anions have never been observed before, we have chemically designed them using first-principles structural searches, and we here predict the first hydrogen-free guanidinates TCN3 (T=V, Nb, Ta) and ortho-nitrido carbonates T'2 CN4 (T'=Ti, Zr, Hf) being mechanically stable at normal pressure; the latter should coexist as solid solutions with the stoichiometrically identical nitride carbodiimides and nitride guanidinates. We also suggest favorable exothermic reactions as useful signposts for eventual synthesis, and we trust that the decay of the novel compounds is unlikely due to presumably large kinetic activation barriers (C-N bond breaking) and quite substantial Madelung energies stabilizing the highly charged complex anions. While chemical-bonding analysis reveals the novel CN4 8- to be more covalent compared to NCN2- and CN3 5- within related compounds, further electronic-structure data of onc phases hint at their physicochemical potential in terms of photoelectrochemical water splitting and nonlinear optics.

Chlorin e6 131:152-Anhydride: A Key Intermediate in Conjugation Reactions of Chlorin e6.

Project description:Since the patent for the photodynamic therapy agent Talaporfin (mono-L-aspartylchlorin e6) was issued in 1987, confusion has existed regarding which of the three carboxylic acid groups in the chlorophyll degradation product, chlorin e6 (1), is modified in standard amino acid type conjugations (using DCC or EDC and an organic base) with amino acids and other biomolecules. Here it is shown that the site of conjugation is the central 152-carboxylic acid, such reactions proceeding in numerous examples via a 131,152-anhydride for which a high resolution X-ray structure is reported. Conjugation with eight oxygen and nitrogen nucleophiles, in every case, afforded the 152-conjugate, reinforcing the earlier conclusion that Talaporfin is the 152-aspartyl conjugate of chlorin e6 and suggesting that reports of 173-conjugation of chlorin e6 using stoichiometric peptide coupling procedures should be subjected to further scrutiny.

Stable Sulfuric Vapor Transport and Liquid Sulfur Growth on Transition Metal Dichalcogenides.

Project description:Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are an emergent class of low-dimensional materials with growing applications in the field of nanoelectronics. However, efficient methods for synthesizing large monocrystals of these systems are still lacking. Here, we describe an efficient synthetic route for a large number of TMDs that were obtained in quartz glass ampoules by sulfuric vapor transport and liquid sulfur. Unlike the sublimation technique, the metal enters the gas phase in the form of molecules, hence containing a greater amount of sulfur than the growing crystal. We have investigated the physical properties for a selection of these crystals and compared them to state-of-the-art findings reported in the literature. The acquired electronic properties features demonstrate the overall high quality of single crystals grown in this work as exemplified by CoS2, ReS2, NbS2, and TaS2. This new approach to synthesize high-quality TMD single crystals can alleviate many material quality concerns and is suitable for emerging electronic devices.

Direct sulfuric acid formation from the gas-phase oxidation of reduced-sulfur compounds.

Project description:Sulfuric acid represents a fundamental precursor for new nanometre-sized atmospheric aerosol particles. These particles, after subsequent growth, may influence Earth´s radiative forcing directly, or indirectly through affecting the microphysical and radiative properties of clouds. Currently considered formation routes yielding sulfuric acid in the atmosphere are the gas-phase oxidation of SO2 initiated by OH radicals and by Criegee intermediates, the latter being of little relevance. Here we report the observation of immediate sulfuric acid production from the OH reaction of emitted organic reduced-sulfur compounds, which was speculated about in the literature for decades. Key intermediates are the methylsulfonyl radical, CH3SO2, and, even more interestingly, its corresponding peroxy compound, CH3SO2OO. Results of modelling for pristine marine conditions show that oxidation of reduced-sulfur compounds could be responsible for up to ∼50% of formed gas-phase sulfuric acid in these areas. Our findings provide a more complete understanding of the atmospheric reduced-sulfur oxidation.

Synthesis of Nitrogen and Sulfur Codoped Nanoporous Carbons from Algae: Role in CO2 Separation.

Project description:Nitrogen and sulfur codoped and completely renewable carbons were synthesized from two types of algae, Spirulina Platensis and Chlorella Vulgaris, without any additional nitrogen fixation reaction. The type of activation agents, char-forming temperature, activation agent-to-char ratio, and activation temperature were all varied to optimize the reaction conditions for this synthesis. The maximum Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area and total pore volumes of the carbons were 2685 m2/g and 1.4 cm3/g, respectively. The nitrogen and sulfur contents of the carbons were in the range of 0.9-5.69 at. % and 0.05-0.2 at. %, respectively. The key nitrogen functionalities were pyridinic, amino, and pyridonic/pyrrolic groups, whereas the key sulfur functionalities were S-C, O-S-C, and SO x groups. CO2 adsorption isotherms were measured at 273, 298, and 313 K, and the ideal adsorbed solution theory was employed to calculate the selectivity of adsorption of CO2 over N2 and simulate binary adsorption isotherms. The adsorption results demonstrated that the CO2 adsorption amount and the heat of CO2 adsorption were higher for carbons with higher nitrogen content, confirming the influence of nitrogen functionality in CO2 adsorption. The overall results suggested that these algae-derived renewable carbons can serve as potential adsorbents for CO2 separation from N2.

A theoretical study on the formation mechanism of carboxylic sulfuric anhydride and its potential role in new particle formation.

Project description:New particle formation (NPF) is the major source of atmospheric aerosol particles. However, the chemical species involved and the exact mechanism are still unclear. Cycloaddition reaction of SO3 to carboxylic acids bas been identified as a possible formation mechanism of carboxylic sulfuric anhydrides which may be involved in NPF. Herein, energy profiles for forming diaterpenylic acetate sulfuric anhydride (DTASA) through cycloaddition of SO3 to diaterpenylic acid acetate (DTAA) and the potential role of DTASA in NPF were studied through computational methods combined with atmospheric cluster dynamics code (ACDC). Gas phase reaction barriers for the two carboxyl groups of DTAA are 0.4 and 0.6 kcal mol-1, respectively, illustrating a feasible formation mechanism for DTASA. According to thermodynamical analysis and dynamical simulations, atmospheric clusters containing DTASA and atmospheric nucleation precursors sulfuric acid (SA), ammonia (NH3) and dimethylamine (DMA) possess both thermodynamically and dynamically higher stabilities than those of DTAA-contained clusters. Furthermore, DTASA-NH3 and DTASA-DMA are more stable than SA-NH3 and SA-DMA, enabling DTASA, even carboxylic sulfuric anhydrides, to become potential participants in the atmospheric NPF process which may hence promote a better understanding of NPF.

Graphitic carbon nitride with thermally-induced nitrogen defects: an efficient process to enhance photocatalytic H2 production performance.

Project description:Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4, CN) with nitrogen vacancies was synthesized by a controlled thermal etching method in a semi-closed air-conditioning system. The defect-modified g-C3N4 shows an excellent photocatalytic performance demonstrated by water splitting under visible light irradiation. With proper heat-treatment durations such as 2 h (CN2) and 4 h (CN4) at 550 °C, the hydrogen production rates significantly increase to 100 μmol h-1 and 72 μmol h-1, which are 11 times and 8 times the rate of the pristine CN (8.8 μmol h-1) respectively. The excellent hydrogen production performance of nitrogen defect modified CN2 is due to the synergy effect of the decreased band gap, enlarged specific surface area and increased separation/migration efficiency of photoinduced charge carriers. This simple defect engineering method provides a good paradigm to improve the photocatalytic performance by tailoring the electronic and physical structures of g-C3N4.

A LiAlO2/nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres (NdHCSs) modified separator for advanced lithium-sulfur batteries.

Project description:Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have gained significant attention due to their ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity and energy density. However, their practical commercialization is still facing many intractable problems, of which the most difficult is the shuttle effect of dissolved polysulfides. To restrict the shuttle of polysulfides, herein, a novel double-layer lithium aluminate/nitrogen-doped hollow carbon sphere (LiAlO2/NdHCSs)-modified separator was designed. The upper NdHCSs layer on the separator works as the first barrier to physically and chemically adsorb polysulfides, whereas the bottom LiAlO2 layer acts as the second barrier to physically block the polysulfides without restricting the Li+ transport due to the high ionic conductivity of LiAlO2. Cells with the LiAlO2/NdHCSs-modified separator showed an initial discharge capacity of 1500 mA h g-1 at 0.2C, and a discharge capacity of 543.3 mA h g-1 was obtained after 500 cycles at 2C. Especially, when the areal density of the active material was increased to 4.5 mg cm-2, the cells retained a discharge capacity of 538.6 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.5C. The outstanding electrochemical performance of Li-S cells with the LiAlO2/NdHCSs-modified separators show a new approach for the applications of Li-S batteries.
