Carboxylic Acids to Methylesters: Alkylation using Diazomethane01:33

Carboxylic Acids to Methylesters: Alkylation using Diazomethane

Carboxylic acids react with diazomethane in an ether solvent via alkylation at the carboxylate oxygen atom to give methyl esters of the corresponding acid with excellent yields.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes

Tetrahedral Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...

Diazonium Group Substitution with Halogens and Cyanide: Sandmeyer and Schiemann Reactions

Arenediazonium substitution reactions occur when the diazonium group is substituted by various functional groups such as halides, hydroxyl, nitrile, etc. For instance, arenediazonium salts react with copper(I) salts of chloride, bromide, or cyanide to form corresponding aryl chlorides, bromides, and nitriles. These reactions are named Sandmeyer reactions. Although the mechanism of this reaction is complicated, as illustrated in Figure 1, they are believed to progress via an aryl copper...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • Adsorbed natural gas (ANG) storage offers a safer, more cost-effective alternative to conventional methods.
  • Current ANG storage is limited by low deliverable gas capacity and material instability.
  • Flexible porous materials, like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), show promise for enhanced ANG storage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel flexible porous materials for efficient adsorbed natural gas storage.
  • To overcome the hydrolytic instability and pelletization challenges of existing ANG sorbents.
  • To achieve high methane deliverable capacities at ambient temperatures and low pressures.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of a family of metal-bipyrazolate frameworks, including Zn(dpt) and Co(dpt).
  • Investigation of methane-induced reversible narrow-pore and large-pore phase transformations.
  • In situ structural characterization, high-pressure gas sorption, and computational modeling.
  • Testing of material performance in 250-ml tanks and evaluation of formulation approaches for pelletization.

    • Main Results:

    • Zn(dpt) and Co(dpt) frameworks exhibit reversible structural transformations upon methane adsorption.
    • Zn(dpt) demonstrates exceptional methane deliverable capacities: 173 cm³(STP)/cm³ at 5-35 bar and 225 cm³(STP)/cm³ at 5-65 bar.
    • Zn(dpt) shows excellent hydrolytic stability, unlike previous flexible sorbents like Co(bdp).
    • High deliverable capacity was maintained over multiple adsorption-desorption cycles.
    • A formulation approach provided a practical alternative to traditional pelletization.

    Conclusions:

    • Metal-bipyrazolate frameworks, particularly Zn(dpt), represent a significant advancement in adsorbed natural gas storage.
    • The developed materials offer high methane deliverable capacity, enhanced stability, and practical processability.
    • These findings pave the way for more efficient and cost-effective natural gas storage solutions.
