regioselectivealcoholysis of styrene oxide to2-alkoxy-1-phenylethanol product at ambient temperature.&2013Elsevier Inc.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionDiscovery of mesoporous silica with the high surface area,ordered channels and pore size distribution between2and50nm[1,2]attracted attention for heterogeneous catalysis[3],adsorbents[4]and medicine[5].MCM-41and SBA-15are the most well knownmolecular sieves with high similarity in structure and surface areaexcept the larger pores of the latter.However,the bare mesoporoussilicas suffer from their silanol group which limits their applicabilityin host–guest systems[6].To solve this problem,the functionaliza-tion of the mesoporous silica via a so called post-synthesis methodwith the variety of propyltrialkoxysilane derivatives((RO)3Si(CH2)3X,X¼Cl,NH2,SH or vinyl)or other functions is the mostcommonly used procedure[7–11].In addition to changing thehydrophobicity of the surface,let us immobilize a wide range ofthe catalysts to make a heterogeneous species.Among the men-tioned functions,amino functionalized hybride mesopore is con-sidered also as an adsorbent[12]and a catalyst[7,13,14].Macrocyclic ligand with organic framework contains heteroa-toms which can trap metallic ions[15].Nitrogen heteroatoms areimportant because they can lead to stable complexes via chelation.Among the aza macrocycles,the species with4nitrogen donors(N4)are the most interesting[16].Grafting such a ligand ispossible via the functionalisation of an NH unit with chloropro-pylsilane.In our previous work,heteropolyacids were immobilizedon amino functionalized MCM-41,silica-gel and fumed silica.Among silica materials,MCM-41showed the largest amine tosilica ratio which is attributed to its large surface area,but itshowed the least tendency for anchoring with heteropoly acids;this is attributed to the smaller pore size of MCM-41.Conse-quently,SBA-15with larger pore size than MCM-41was selectedas the support[17].In this report,dioxo13-membered N4macrocyclic ligand wasgrafted after modification of the surface by aminopropyl silane forthe only possible condensation between amino group and C¼Ogroup of the ligand.Chromium salts because of their wide applica-tions as homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts[18,19]andtheir low costs were selected as species to incorporate into theligand.The prepared heterogeneous nanocatalyst has been appliedin the ring opening of styrene oxide by alcohols under ambienttemperature.2.Experimental2.1.Materials and measurementsPluronic P123with composition

grade and used without further puri fication.The physico-chemical characteristics were followed by Low-Angle XRD (Philips X 'Pert MPD),N 2adsorption –desorption isotherm and BJH pore size distribution plot (BELSORP-MINI)and TGA (Netzsch TG 209F1,from 20to 9001C with the heating rate of 51/min under air).2.2.Synthesis of aminopropyl functionalization of mesoporous silica (SBA-15-NH 2)Firstly SBA-15was prepared according to the procedure reported earlier [20].In a typical synthesis,4g of pluronic P123as template dissolved in 30g of deionized water and 120g of 2M HCl solution was added and stirred at 351C at 1400rpm.Then 8.5g of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS)was added slowly.The obtained gel was continuously stirred for 20h at 351C.Then it aged in a stainless steel PTFE-lined autoclave at 901C for 24h.The solid product was filtered,washed with deionized water and dried at room temperature.Finally the white powder was calcined at 5001C for 6h with a heating rate of 11C/min to remove the surfactant.The aminopropyl functionalization of SBA-15has beencarried out according to the previous method [17]by adding 1.5g of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS)to 1.0g of SBA-15suspended in 50ml of toluene and re fluxing over-night.Then the solid was filtered and soxheleted with chloroform.2.3.Synthesis of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclotridecane-11,13-dione (TACTO2)Dioxomacrocyclic ligand was prepared by a slight modi fication of the reported method [21].Diethyl malonate (16.32g,0.1mol)and triethylene tetraamine (15.36g,0.1mol)dissolved in dry ethanol (900mL)was re fluxed for 5–6days.Then the volume was reduced to 200mL by rotary evaporation.The white crystals were formed in 2–3days and they were recrystallized 2times from 200mL absolute ethanol.The white crystals filtered and washed with cold ethanol and diethyl ether to obtain the pure ligand (mp 200–2051C).The structure of the ligand was con firmed by IR,1H NMR and 13C NMR.1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclotridecane-11,13-dione,1H NMR

in Scheme 1.In a typical synthesis,a mixture of ligand (0.5g),SBA-15-NH 2(1g)in toluene (50mL)was re fluxed overnight.The white solid was recovered by filtration and washed with toluene and dichlor-oethane.The excess ligand was removed by soxhelet extraction over chloroform for 8h and finally dried in oven.2.5.Chelating of chromium (III)(SBA-15-NH 2-TACTO2-Cr)Ligand-functional SBA-15(1g),CrCl 3∙6H 2O (0.5g)in ethanol (65mL)was re fluxed at 801C under stirring for 24h.The resulting solid was recovered by filtration and washed with ethanol.Then soxhelet extraction carried out over chloroform for 8h and finally dried in oven.Scheme 1.Preparation of the catalyst.A.Tarlani et al./Journal of Solid State Chemistry 203(2013)255–2592562.6.Styrene oxide ring openingIn a typical reaction,SBA-15-NH 2-TACTO2-Cr (0.005g)was added to the solution of styrene oxide (0.124g,1mmol)in methanol (5mL).The mixture was stirred till full conversion.After filtration through a short pad of alumina and evaporation,chro-matography on silica eluted with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (85:15)of the residue led to the product which was identi fied from comparison of 1HNMR data with those of literature [22,23].3.Results and discussion 3.1.Catalyst characterizationPreparation of the catalyst is depicted in Scheme 1.TheFT-IR spectra of the samples in the range of 500–4000cm −1are depicted in Fig.1.The main features of the SBA-15spectra include a large broad band between 3200and3600cm −1which is attributed to O –H stretching νs,(OH)of the surface silanol group and the remaining physically adsorbed water molecules.The strong bands at about 1090and 806cm −1correspond to the νas,(Si –O –Si)and νs,(Si –O)respectively.Silanol groups of SBA-15give the char-acteristic band at 960cm −1.This peak declines by the reaction of silanol group with the ethoxy group of APTMS [24].In the FT-IR spectra of SBA-15-NH 2,the bands at 3298and 2939cm −1are related to NH and CH stretchings respectively [25].FT-IR spectra of the immobilized ligand on the surface obtained after soxhelating for 8h.The only way of the grafting is the condensation between amino group of SBA-15-NH 2and the C ¼O group of the ligand.Two ν(C ¼O)groups of the pure ligand appear at 1649cm −1.By anchor-ing the ligand,this bond shifts a little to lower frequency.It could be concluded that one of the C ¼O groups is replaced by the new bond.In the last step,Cr (III)inserts into the N4cycle because the new band of Cr –N emerges at 424cm −1.Besides,the bending band of NH is shifted from 1581to 1548cm −1which is in accordance with the literature [26].Such an effect should be observed for the stretching of 3277cm −1,which is not clear because of the presence of the wide band of the adsorbed water in that region.These lowest weight loss for bare SBA-15with the approximate amount of 5%which is mainly attributed to the loss of adsorbed water (Fig.2.).The TGA spectrum of functionalized SBA-15and grafted ligand showed 10%and 30%weight loss above 3501C that is attributed mainly to the decomposition of organic groups and emphasizes the successful accomplishment of the process and high loading of the ligand (about 37%)[27].According to TG Fig.3represents low angle XRD patterns of SBA-15and its modi fied samples.SBA-15shows intense diffraction peak of (100)at 2θ¼0.991and two secondary patterns corresponding to (110)and (200)re flections about 2θ¼21which are indicative of the hexagonal symmetry and textural uniformity of the mesopore.The low-angle XRD patterns of SBA-15-NH 2,SBA-15-NH 2-TACTO2and SBA-15-NH 2-TACTO2-Cr are similar to that of the parent SBA-15with a reduction in the intensity indicating modi fications inside the mesopore (Scheme 1).By modi fication of the pores,intensity of the peaks decreases and the sharp peak is shifted to higher angles which indicates the decrease of the surface area [17].Therefore,SBA-15structure remained intact under the conditions used for grafting.The porosity of samples (BJH and BET)was measured by N 2adsorption –desorption (Figs.4and 5).These isotherms are type IVwith characteristic behavior of the mesoporous materials as de fined by IUPAC [28].The sharp increase in the adsorption step between relative pressures (P/P 0)of 0.4–1indicated that the textural properties of SBA-15is kept over grafting by macrocyclic ligand with no signi ficant change in N 2sorption isotherm [20].The relative pressure (P /P 0)of the modi fied samples is shifted to a lower value in comparison to the parent materials,indicating decrease in speci fic surface area.BJH method showed narrow pore diameter distributions which is in agreement with good quality of SBA-15[29].Table 1provides characteristic parameters S BET and pore diameter of the species.The SBA-15has the maximum surfaceFig.1.FT-IR spectra of the parent SBA-15,grafted amine into the pores(SBA-15-NH 2),pure macrocyclic ligand before

can be attributed to the modi fication of the walls with organic moieties.The changes in the pore sizes occurred after modi fication of the parent SBA-15,but with a little irregularity which is also observed in other reports and is complex to elucidate [30–32].3.2.Catalyst activityIn the presence of the catalyst,the addition of methanol or ethanol to styrene oxide affords the corresponding 2-alkoxy-1-phenylethanol in high yield (Table 2;runs 1,2and 6)[22].Interestingly,no decrease of the ef ficiency was observed with the use of a recycled catalyst (Table 2;runs 3and 4)[33].Alcohols such as 1-propanol,2-propanol and allyl alcohol were assayedinFig.2.TGA curves of SBA-15,SBA-15-NH 2,SBA-15-NH 2-TACTO2and SBA-15-NH 2-TACTO2-Cr.Fig.3.Low-angle XRD patterns of SBA-15,SBA-15-NH 2,SBA-15-NH

to the heavier alcohols.So methanol requires lower time for the reaction[34].Leaching test was carried out for the chromium ion.Atomic absorption spectroscopy showed no chromium leached from the support.FT-IR spectra of the reused catalyst were almost similar to those of the parent catalyst. These analyses prove the stability of the catalyst during the reaction[35].Scheme2represents the possible mechanism for this reaction. Nucleophilic attack of the alcohol in the presence of the active site of the catalyst leads to an intermediate whichfinally converts to regioselective2-alkoxy product[36].4.ConclusionThe grafting of dioxo tetraazamacrocyclic ligand onto the inner walls of amino functionalized SBA-15,made the strong host for Cr (III).The FT-IR spectroscopy indicated spectral features of modified samples.TGA analysis showed large quantity content of the ligand. Incorporation of the ligand decreased the specific surface area which results in grafting the ligand inside the pores.This catalyst (SBA-15-NH2-TACTO2-Cr)led to the superior activity in the ring opening of styrene oxide to its selectiveβ-alkoxy alcohol product at ambient temperature.AcknowledgmentsWe thank Chemistry&Chemical Engineering Research Center of Iran(CCERCI)for the support of these studies.References[1]C.K.Kresge,M.E.Leonowicz,W.J.Roth,J.C.Vartuli,J.S.Beck,Nature359(1992)710.[2]D.Zhao,J.Feng,Q.Huo,N.Melosh,G.H.Fredrickson,B.F.Chmelka,G.D.Stucky,Science279(1998)548.[3]A.Sayari,Chem.Mater.8(1996)1840.[4]C.-K.Lee,S.-Sh.Liu,L.-Ch.Juang,C.-C.Wang,K.-S.Lin,M.-D.Lyu,J.HazardousMater.147(2007)997.[5]R.Mellaerts, C.A.Aerts,J.V.Humbeeck,P.Augustijns,G.V.Mooterc,J.A.Martens,mun.(2007)1375.[6]A.Taguchi,F.Schüth,Microporous Mesoporous Mater.77(2005)1.[7]A.P.Wight,M.E.Davis,Chem.Rev.102(2002)3589.[8]J.H.Clark,D.J.Macquarrie,S.J.Tavener,Dalton Trans.(2006)4297.[9]R.J.Kalbasi,M.Kolahdoozan,M.Rezaei,Mater.Chem.Phys.125(2011)784.[10]J.Mondal,A.Moda,A.Dutta,A.Bhaumik,Dalton Trans.40(2011)5228.[11]M.Popova,I.Goshev,S.Klébert,J.Mihály,J.Solid State Chem.194(2012)257.[12]T.Yokoi,Y.Kubota,T.Tatsumi,Appl.Catal.A:Gen.421–422(2012)14.[13]M.Mirza-Aghayan,L.T.Baie,M.Rahimifard,R.Boukherroub,A.Tarlani,J.Iran.Chem.Soc.8(2011)280.[14]M.Mirza-Aghayan,S.Nazmdeh,R.Boukherroub,M.Rahimifard,A.Tarlani,M.Abolghasemi Malakshah,mun.43(2013)1499.[15]L.F.Lindoy,The Chemistry of Macrocyclic Ligand Complex,Cambridge Uni-versity Press,Cambridge,1989.[16]F.Denat,S.Brandès,R.Guilard,Synlett5(2000)561.[17]A.Tarlani,M.Abedini,A.Nemati,M.Khabaz,M.M.Amini,J.Colloid InterfaceSci303(2006)32.[18]J.Muzart,Chem.Rev.92(1992)113.[19]M.Hartmann,L.Kevan,Chem.Rev.99(1999)635.[20]D.Zhao,Q.Huo,J.Feng,B.F.Chmelka,G.D.Stucky,J.Am.Chem.Soc.120(1998)6024.[21]L.Fabbrizzi,A.Poggi,B.Seghi,Inorg.Synth.23(1985)82.[22]N.Iranpoor,P.Salehi,Synthesis11(1994)1152.[23]A.Dhakshinamoorthy,M.Alvaro,H.Garcia,Chem.Eur.J.16(2010)8530.[24]J.-Q.Wang,L.Huang,M.Xue,Y.Wang,L.Gao,J.H.Zhu,Z.Zou,J.Phys.Chem.C112(2008)5014.[25]Sujandi,S.-C.Han,D.-S.Han,M.-J.Jin,S.-E.Park,J.Catal.243(2006)410.[26]S.J.Swamy,S.Pola,Spectrochim.Acta Part A70(2008)929.[27]P.Das,A.R.Silva,A.P.Carvalho,J.Pires,C.Freire,J.Mater.Sci.44(2009)2865.[28]K.S.W.Sing,D.H.Everett,R.A.W.Haul,L.Moscou,R.A.Pierotti,J.Rouquerol,T.Siemieniewska,Pure Appl.Chem.57(1985)603.[29]C.Jo,K.Kim,R.Ryoo,Microporous Mesoporous Mater.124(2009)45.[30]X.Wang,G.Wu,J.Li,N.Zhao,W.Wei,Y.Sun,J.Mol.Catal.A:Chem.276(2007)86.[31]L.Saikia,D.Srinivas,Catal.Today141(2009)66.[32]A.Tarlani,M.P.Zarabadi,Solid State Sci.16(2013)76.[33]I.W.C.E.Arends,R.A.Sheldon,Appl.Catal.A:Gen.212(2001)175.[34]V.Mirkhani,Sh.Tangestaninejad,B.Yadollahi,L Alipanah,Tetrahedron59(2003)8213.[35]V.K.Bansal,P.P.Thankachan,R.Prasad,Appl.Catal.A:Gen.381(2010)8.[36]E.N.Jacobsen,Acc.Chem.Res.33(2000)421.Scheme2A.Tarlani et al./Journal of Solid State Chemistry203(2013)255–259259。

美国大学生数学建模竞赛试题1996 American MCM Problems Problem AThe world's oceans contain an ambient noise field. Seismic disturbances, surface shipping, and marine mammals are sources that, in different frequency ranges,contribute to this field. We wish to consider how this ambient noise might be used to detect large moving objects, e.g., submarines located below the ocean surface. Assuming that a submarine makes no intrinsic noise, developa method for detecting the presence of a moving submarine, its size, and its direction of travel, using only information obtained by measuring changes to the ambient noise field. Begin with noise at one fixed frequency and amplitude.Problem BWhen determining the winner of a competition like the Mathematical Contest inModeling, there are generally a large number of papers to judge. Let's saythere are P=100 papers.A group of J judges is collected to accomplish thejudging. Funding for the contest constains both the number of judges that canbe obtained and amount of time that they can judge. For eample if P=100, thenJ=8 is typical.Ideally, each judge would read paper and rank-order them, but there are toomany papers for this. Instead, there will be a number of screening rounds inwhich each judge will read some number of papers and give them scores. Thensome selection scheme is used to reduce the number of papers under consideration: If the papers are rank-ordered, then the bottom 30% that eachjudge rank-orders could be rejected. Alternatively, if the judges do not rank-order, but instead give them numerical score (say, from 1 to 100),then all papers below some cut-off level could be rejected.The new pool of papers is then passed back to the judges, and the process is repeated.A concern is then the total number of papers that judge reads must besubstantially less than P. The process is stopped when there are only W papersleft. There are the winners. Typically for P=100, W=3.Your task is to determine a selection scheme, using a combination of rank-ordering, numerical scoring, and other methods, by which the final Wpapers will include only papers from among the "best" 2W papers. (By "best",we assume that there is an absolute rank-ordering to which all judges wouldagree.) For example, the top three papers. Among all such methods, the one thatrequired each judge to read the least number of papers is desired.Note the possibility of systematic bias in a numerical scoring scheme. For example, for a specific collection of papers, one judge could average 70points, while another could average 80 points. How would you scale your schemeto accommodate for changes in the contest parameters (P, J, and W)?1997 American MCM ProblemsProblem A The Velociraptor ProblemThe velociraptor,Velociraptor mongoliensis, was a predatory dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period, approximately 75 million years ago. Paleontologists think that it was a very tenacious hunter, and may have hunted in pairs or largerpacks .Unfortunately, there is no way to observe its hunting behavior in the wild as can be done with modern mammalian predators. A group of paleontologists has approached your team and asked for help in modeling the hunting behavior of the velociraptor. They hope to compare your results with field data reported by biologists studying the behaviors of lions, tigers, and similar predatory animals.The average adult velociraptor was 3 meters long with a hip height of 0.5 meters and an approximate mass of 45 kg. It is estimated that the animal could run extremely fast at speed of 60 km/hr for about 15 seconds. After the initial burst of speed ,the animal needed to stop and recover from a buildup of lactic acid in its muscles.Suppose that velociraptor preyed on Thescelosaurus neglectus, a herbivorous biped approximately the same size as the Velociraptor. A biomachanical analysis of a fossilized Thescelosaurus indicates that it could run at a speed of about 50 km/hr. for long period of time.Part1Assuming the velociraptor is a solitary hunter, design a mathematical model that describe a hunting strategy for a single velociraptor stalking and chasing a single Thescelosaurus as well as the evasive strategy of the prey. Assume that the Thescelosaurus can always detect the velociraptor when it comes within 15 meters .but may detect the predator at even greater ranges (up to 50 meters depending upon the habitat and weather conditions. Additionally ,due to its physical structure and strength, the velociraptorhas a limited turning radius when running at full speed. This radius is estimated to be three times the animal's hip height. On the other hand, the Thescelosaurus is extremely agile and has a turning radius of 0.5 meters.Part2Assuming more realistically that the velociraptor hunted in pairs, design a new model that describes a hunting strategy for two velociraptor stalking and chasing a single Thescelosaurus as well as the evasive strategy of the prey. Use the other assumptions and limitations given in Part 1.Problem B Mix Well For Fruitful DiscussionsSmall group meeting for the discussions of important issues, particular long-range planning ,are gaining popularity. It is believed that large groups discourage productive discussion and that a dominant personality will usually control and direct the discussion. Thus ,in corporate board meetings the board will meet in small groups to discuss issues before meeting as a whole, these smaller groups still tun the risk of control by a dominant personality. In an attempt to reduce this danger it is common to schedule several sessions with a different mix of people in each group.A meeting of An Tostal Corporation will be attended by 29 Board Members of which nine are in-house members(i.e., corporate employees).The meeting is to be an all-day affair with three sessions scheduled for the morning and four for the afternoon. Each session will take 45 minutes, beginning on the hour from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., with lunch scheduled at noon. Each morning session will consist of six discussion groups with each discussion group led by one of the corporation's six senior officers. None of these officers are board members. Thus each senior officers will not be involved in the afternoon sessions and each of these sessions will consist of only four different discussion groups.The president of the corporation wants a list of board-member assignment to discussion groups for each of the seven sessions. The assignments should achieve as much of a mix of the members as much as possible. The ideal assignment would have each board member in a discussion group the same number of times while minimizing common membership of groups for the different sessions.The assignment should also satisfy the following criteria:1.For the morning sessions ,no board member should be in the same senior officer's discussion group twice.2.No discussion group should contain a disproportionate number of in-house members.Give a list of assignments for members 1-9 and 10-29 and officers 1-6.Indicate how well the criteria in the previous paragraphs are met. Since it is possible that some board members will cancel at the last minute or that some not scheduled will show up, an algorithm that the secretary could use to adjust the assignments with an hour's notice would be appreciated. It would be ideal if the algorithm could also be used to make assignments for future meetings involving different levels of participation for each type of attendee.1998 American MCM ProblemsProblem A MRI ScannersIntroductionIndustrial medical diagnostic machines known as Magnetic Resonance Imager (MRI) scan a three-dimensional object such as a brain, and deliver their results in the form of a three-dimensional array of pixel. Each pixel consists of one number indicating a color or a shade of gray that encodes a measure of water concentration in a small region of the scanned object at the location of the pixel .For instance,0 can picture high water concentration in black (ventricles, blood vessels),128 can picture a medium water concentration in gray(brain nuclei and gray matter),and 255 can picture a low water density in white (liquid-rich white matter consisting of myelinated axons).Such MRI scanners also include facilities to picture on a screen any horizontal or vertical slice through the three-dimensional array (slices are parallel to any of the three Cartesian coordinate axes ).Algorithms for picturing slices through oblique planes ,however ,are proprietary .Current algorithms are limited in terms of the angles and parameter options available ;are implemented only on heavily used dedicated workstations ;lack input capabilities for marking points in the picture before slicing; and tend to blur and "feather out" sharp boundaries between the original pixels.A more faithful, flexible algorithm implemented on a personal computer would be useful.(1)for planning minimally invasive treatments,(2)for calibrating the MRI machines,(3)for investigating structures oriented obliquely in space, such as post-mortem tissue sections in a animal research,(4)for enabling cross-sections at any angle through a brain atlas consisting (4)for enabling cross-sections at any angle through a brain atlas consistingof black-and-white line drawingTo design such an algorithm, one can access the value and locations of the pixels, but not the initial data gathered by the scanners.ProblemDesign and test an algorithm that produces sections of three-dimensional arrays by planes in any orientation in space, preserving the original gray-scale value as closely as possible.Data SetsThe typical data set consists of a three-dimensional array A of numbers A(i,j,k) which indicates the density A(i,j,k) of the object at the location (x,y,z)i,j,k. Typically A(i,j,k) can range from 0 to 255.In most applications the data set is quite large.Teams should design data sets to test and demonstrate their algorithms. The data sets should reflect conditions likely Teams should design data sets to test and demonstrate their algorithms. The data sets should reflect conditions likely to be of diagnostic interest. Teams should also characterize data sets the limit the effectiveness of their algorithms.SummaryThe algorithm must produce a picture of the slice of the three-dimensional array by a plane in space. The plane can have any orientation and any location in space.(The plane can miss some or all data points.)The result of the algorithm should be a model of the density of the scanned object over the selected plane.Problem B Grade InflationBackgroundSome college administrators are concerned about the grading at A Better Class(ABC) college. On average, the faculty at ABC have been giving out high grades(the average grade now given out is an A-),and it is impossible to distinguish between the good and mediocre students .The terms of a very generous scholarship only allow the top 10% of the students to be funded, so a class ranking is required.The dean had the thought of comparing each student to the other students in each class ,and using this information to build up a ranking. For example, if a student obtains an A in a class in which all students obtain an A, then this student is only "average" in this class. On the other hand, if a student obtain the only A in a class, then that student is clearly "above average". Combining information from several classes might allow students to be placed in deciles (top 10%,next 10%,ect.)across the college.ProblemAssuming that the grades given out are(A+,A-,B+,B-,...)can the dean's idea be made to work?Assuming that the grades given out are only (A,B,C,...)can the dean's idea be made to work?Can any other schemes produce a desired ranking?A concern is that the grade in a single class could change many student's deciles. Is this possible?Data SetsTeams should design data sets to test and demonstrate their algorithms. Teams should characterize data sets that limit the effectiveness of their algorithms.Mathematical Contest in Modeling 1999 ProblemsProblem A - Deep ImpactFor some time, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been considering the consequences of a large asteroid impact on the earth.As part of this effort, your team has been asked to consider the effects of such an impact were the asteroid to land in Antarctica. There are concerns that an impact there could have considerably different consequences than one striking elsewhere on the planet.You are to assume that an asteroid is on the order of 1000 m in diameter, and that it strikes the Antarctic continent directly at the South Pole.Your team has been asked to provide an assessment of the impact of such an asteroid. In particular, NASA would like an estimate of the amount and location of likely human casualties from this impact, an estimate of the damage done to the food production regions in the oceans of the southern hemisphere, and an estimate of possible coastal flooding caused by large-scale melting of the Antarctic polar ice sheet.Problem B - Unlawful AssemblyMany public facilities have signs in rooms used for public gatherings which state that it is "unlawful" for the rooms to be occupied by more than a specified number of people. Presumably, this number is based on the speed with which people in the room could be evacuated from the room's exits in case of an emergency. Similarly, elevators and other facilities often have "maximum capacities" posted.Develop a mathematical model for deciding what number to post on such a sign as being the "lawful capacity". As part of your solution discuss criteria, other than public safety in the case of a fire or other emergency, that might govern the number of people considered "unlawful" to occupy the room (or space). Also, for the model that you construct, consider the differences between a room with movable furniture such as a cafeteria (with tables and chairs), a gymnasium, a public swimming pool, and a lecture hall with a pattern of rows and aisles. You may wish to compare and contrast what might be done for a variety of different environments: elevator, lecture hall, swimming pool, cafeteria, or gymnasium. Gatherings such as rock concerts and soccer tournaments may present special conditions.Apply your model to one or more public facilities at your institution (or neighboring town). Compare your results with the stated capacity, if one is posted. If used, your model is likely to be challenged by parties with interests in increasing the capacity. Write an article for the local newspaper defending your analysis.2000 Mathematical Contest in ModelingProblem A Air traffic ControlDedicated to the memory of Dr. Robert Machol, former chief scientist of the Federal Aviation Agency To improve safety and reduce air traffic controller workload, the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) is considering adding software to the air traffic control system that would automatically detect potential aircraft flight path conflicts and alert the controller. To that end, an analyst at the FAA has posed the following problems.Requirement A: Given two airplanes flying in space, when should the air traffic controller consider the objects to be too close and to require intervention?Requirement B: An airspace sector is the section of three-dimensional airspace that one air traffic controller controls. Given any airspace sector, how do we measure how complex it is from an air traffic workload perspective? To what extent is complexity determined by the number of aircraft simultaneously passing through that sector (1) at any one instant?(2) during any given interval of time?(3) during a particular time of day? How does the number of potential conflicts arising during those periods affect complexity?Does the presence of additional software tools to automatically predict conflicts and alert the controller reduce or add to this complexity?In addition to the guidelines for your report, write a summary (no more than two pages) that the FAA analyst can present to Jane Garvey, the FAA Administrator, to defend your conclusions.Problem B Radio Channel AssignmentsWe seek to model the assignment of radio channels to a symmetric network of transmitter locations over a large planar area, so as to avoid interference. One basic approach is to partition the region into regular hexagons in a grid (honeycomb-style), as shown in Figure 1, where a transmitter is located at the center of each hexagon.Figure 1An interval of the frequency spectrum is to be allotted for transmitter frequencies. The interval will be divided into regularly spaced channels, which we represent by integers 1, 2, 3, ... . Each transmitter will be assigned one positive integer channel. The same channel can be used at many locations, provided that interference from nearby transmitters is avoided. Our goal is to minimize the width of the interval in the frequency spectrum that is needed to assign channels subject to some constraints. This is achieved with the concept of a span. The span is the minimum, over all assignments satisfying the constraints, of the largest channel used at any location. It is not required that every channel smallerthan the span be used in an assignment that attains the span.Let s be the length of a side of one of the hexagons. We concentrate on the case that there are two levels of interference.Requirement A: There are several constraints on frequency assignments. First, no two transmitters within distance of each other can be given the same channel. Second, due to spectral spreading, transmitters within distance 2s of each other must not be given the same or adjacent channels: Their channels must differ by at least 2. Under these constraints, what can we say about the span in,Requirement B: Repeat Requirement A, assuming the grid in the example spreads arbitrarily far in all directions.Requirement C: Repeat Requirements A and B, except assume now more generally that channels for transmitters within distance differ by at least some given integer k, while those at distance at most must still differ by at least one. What can we say about the span and about efficient strategies for designing assignments, as a function of k?Requirement D: Consider generalizations of the problem, such as several levels of interference or irregular transmitter placements. What other factors may be important to consider?Requirement E: Write an article (no more than 2 pages) for the local newspaper explaining your findings.2001 Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)Problem A: Choosing a Bicycle WheelCyclists have different types of wheels they can use on their bicycles. The two basic typesof wheels are those constructed using wire spokes and those constructed of a solid disk (see Figure 1) The spoked wheels are lighter, but the solid wheels are more aerodynamic.A solid wheel is never used on the front for a road race but can be used on the rear of the bike.Professional cyclists look at a racecourse and make an educated guess as to what kind of wheels should be used. The decision is based on the number and steepness of the hills, the weather, wind speed, the competition,and other considerations. The director sportif of your favorite team would like to have a better system in place and has asked your team for information to help determine what kind of wheel should be used fora given course.Figure 1: A solid wheel is shown on the left and a spoked wheel is shown on the right. The director sportif needs specific information to help make a decision and has asked your team to accomplish the tasks listed below. For each of the tasks assume that the same spoked wheel will always be used on the front butthere is a choice of wheels for the rear.Task 1. Provide a table iving the wind peed at which the power required for a solid rear wheel is less than for a spoked rear wheel. The table should include the wind speeds for different road grades starting from zero percent to ten percent in one percent increments. (Road grade is defined to be the ratio of the total rise of a hill divided by the length of the road. If the hill is viewed as a triangle, the grade is the sine of the angle at the bottom of the hill.) A rider starts at the bottom of the hill at a speed of 45 kph, and the deceleration of the rider is proportional to the road grade.A rider will lose about 8 kph for a five percent grade over 100 meters.Task 2. Provide an example of how the table could be used for a specific time trial courseTask 3. Determine if the table is an adequate means for deciding on the wheel configuration and offer other suggestions as to how to make this decision.Problem B: Escaping a Hurricane's Wrath (An Ill Wind...)Evacuating the coast of South Carolina ahead of the predicted landfallof Hurricane Floydin 1999 led to a monumental traffic jam. Traffic slowed to a standstill on Interstate I-26, which is the principal route going inland from Charleston to the relatively safe haven of Columbia in the center of the state. What is normally an easy two-hour drive took up to 18 hours to complete. Many cars simply ran out of gas along the way.Fortunately, Floyd turned north and spared the state this time, but the public outcry is forcing state officials to find ways to avoid a repeat of this traffic nightmare.The principal proposal put forth to deal with this problem is the reversalof traffic onI-26, so that both sides, including the coastal-bound lanes,have traffic headed inland from Charleston to Columbia. Plans to carry this out have been prepared (and posted on the Web)by the South Carolina Emergency Preparedness Division. Traffic reversal on principal roads leading inland from Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head is also planned.A simplified map of South Carolina is shown. Charleston has approximately 500,000 people, Myrtle Beach has about 200,000 people, and another 250,000 people are spread out along the rest of the coastal strip. (More accurate data,if sought, are widely available.)The interstates have two lanes of traffic in each direction except in the metropolitan areas where they have three. Columbia, another metro area of around 500,000 people, does not have sufficient hotel space to accommodate the evacuees (including some coming from farther northby other routes), so some traffic continues outbound on I-26 towards Spartanburg; on I-77 north to Charlotte; and on I-20 east to Atlanta. In 1999, traffic leaving Columbia going northwest was moving only very slowly. Construct a model for the problem to investigate what strategies may reduce the congestion observed in 1999. Here are the questions that need to be addressed:1.Under what conditions does the plan for turning the two coastal-bound lanes of I-26 into two lanes of Columbia-bound traffic, essentially turning the entire I-26 into one-way traffic, significantly improve evacuation traffic flow?2.In 1999, the simultaneous evacuation of the state's entire coastal region was ordered. Would the evacuation traffic flow improve under an alternative strategy that staggers the evacuation, perhaps county-by-county over some time period consistent with the pattern of how hurricanes affect the coast?3.Several smaller highways besides I-26 extend inland from the coast. Under what conditions would it improve evacuation flow to turn around traffic on these?4.What effect would it have on evacuation flow to establish more temporary shelters in Columbia, to reduce the traffic leaving Columbia?5.In 1999, many families leaving the coast brought along their boats, campers, and motor homes. Many drove all of their cars. Under what conditions should there be restrictionson vehicle types or numbers of vehicles brought in order to guarantee timely evacuation? 6.It has been suggested that in 1999 some of the coastal residents of Georgia and Florida, who were fleeing the earlier predicted landfalls of Hurricane Floyd to the south, came upI-95 and compounded the traffic problems. How big an impact can they have on the evacuation traffic flow? Clearly identify what measures of performance are used to compare strategies. Required: Prepare a short newspaper article, not to exceed two pages,explaining the results and conclusions of your study to the public.问题 A: 选择自行车车轮骑自行车的人有几种不同类型的车轮可以用在他们的自行车上。

介绍了均相催化剂的固载化研究进展.可以通过离子交换、密封和接枝等方法将均相催化剂固载于载体之上,而载体和接枝过渡物质的接枝长度也会影响固载化催化剂的活性.关键词:固载;均相催化剂;多相催化剂;载体中图分类号:O631 文献标识码:A 文章编号:1671-6574(2004)05-0013-061 前 言多相催化与均相催化是催化领域里的两大类型.多相催化剂的优点是催化剂的活性组分可以广泛变化;使用的温度范围十分广;容易从产品中分离出催化剂,因而容易实现工业化.但是也有其缺点,主要是对表面活性中心的认识不够完整,因而催化剂的设计或改进比较困难;由于表面的不均一性,表面活性组分的利用率十分低;反应的方向不容易控制,活性与选择性均不太高等.与之相对应,由于均相催化剂中的配位基可以适当选择,使金属原子周围有特定的电子与空间性质,这样使它仅能促进某一反应而具有高度的选择性.而且在均相催化剂中所有的金属原子都能发挥催化活性.而在多相催化剂中大多数金属原子是在体相,在表面也仅有部分金属原子发挥催化活性,这样就决定了均相催化剂具有比多相催化剂高得多的金属原子利用率.同时,由于均相催化剂比多相催化剂在更为温和的条件下(低温低压)进行反应,因而降低了能量损耗.均相催化剂尽管有这些优点,但要广泛使用时也有不少问题,除了一般碰到的腐蚀性问题之外,主要是均相催化剂难以从液相反应产物中分离出来.特别在以贵金属的络合物作催化剂时,更要注意分离问题,否则既不经济又要污染产品,影响下一步反应.为了使均相催化剂能更广泛地使用,许多学者进行了大量的研究,普遍采用均相催化剂的固载化方法来解决这个问题.2 均相催化剂固载化的概念所谓均相催化剂的固载化,就是把均相催化剂以物理或化学方法使之与固体载体相结合,而形成一种特殊的催化剂.在这种固载催化剂中的活性组分往往与均相催化剂具有同样的性质和结构,因而保存了均相催化剂的优点,例如高活性和高选择性等.同时又因结合在固体上,具有了多相催化剂的优点,例如容易从产品中分离与回收催化剂等.而且,对这类催化剂进行研究,有可能在分子水平上研制出反应性能优异的催化剂,并对其催化作用机理有进一步的认识.由于均相催化剂被固定在固体上,其浓度不受溶解度限制,可以提高催化剂的浓度,就能使用较小的反应容器,这样可以进一步降低生产费用.因而研究均相催化剂的固载,在理论上和实践上均具有重大意义.固载化催化剂所采用的载体一般为有机高分子化合物和无机氧化物.无机氧化物,如SiO 2、Al 2O 3、MC M -41、MC M -48等,在机械强度、热和化学稳定性及来源上均明显优于高分子载体.因而在无机载体上固载化,是一个很有实用意义的重要方向.3 均相催化剂的固载化方法311 离子交换金属离子可以通过离子交换(I on exchange )固载于分子筛和酸性粘土上,如图1所示.例如钼和钨可交换到类水滑石阴离子粘土上[1,2].但主要的缺点是金属配合物容易流失到溶液中.312 密封将金属配合物密封于固体基质中(Encapsulation ),这也是均相催化剂固载化的方法之一.例如,瓶中造船方法(Ship-in-a-bottle )(从较小部分原位组装金属配合物),配合物形成后被截留在分子筛笼中,如图2所示.常用于固载酞菁、联吡啶和Schiff 碱类配体[3~5].但未配合的金属、不含金属的配合物和目标配合物的碎片可能阻塞反应物和Π或产物的扩散通道.图1 均相催化剂固载化方法一:离子交换 图2 均相催化剂固载化方法二:密封313 接枝还可以接枝配合物到固体表面,通过形成共价键实现金属配合物在固体表面的引入,如图3所示.接枝的方法可以是直接引入金属配合物(G rafted ),例如浸渍[6],或溶胶-凝胶法.也可以是通过接枝过渡物质(S pacer ligand )使载体表面功能化后引入金属配合物(T ethered )[7~9].图3 均相催化剂固载化方法三:接枝无机载体表面的活性基团一般为羟基,常采用含有三甲氧基或三乙氧基等活性基团的有机硅化合物作为接枝过渡物质,利用烷氧基与羟基易发生缩合反应而放出醇的性质,实现配合物的引入(见图4).这种载体表面功能化后接枝金属配合物得到的催化剂具有结构性能稳定的优点,可用于催化Diels-Alder 双烯合成、羰基化、Friedel-Crafts 反应、Heck 反应、酯化、烯丙基41浙江教育学院学报 2004年胺化、加氢、氧化和各种缩合反应.图4 利用有机硅化合物进行的接枝过程还有报道以杂多酸例如磷钨酸(PT A )作为接枝过渡物质,将Rh 均相配合物连接在Al 2O 3载体上[10].4 影响固载催化剂活性的几个因素一般来说,固载化后的催化剂常与相应的均相催化剂具有相近的活性,相同的反应机理.但也有活性变高和变低的情况.影响固载催化剂活性的因素主要有:411 载体的影响均相催化剂固载化后,增加了一个载体因素,当然要考虑载体对催化剂活性的影响.固载化催化剂的载体既要有一定的表面积,对孔径分布也有一定要求.C orma 等人[11,12]将图5所示的天然脯氨酸衍生的含氮配体固载于硅胶(孔径63-200μm )和修饰的USY 分子筛(Ultrastable Y zeolite ,孔径12-30!)上,然后再作为Rh 催化剂的载体,用于乙酰氨基肉桂酸乙酯(a )或苯甲酰氨基肉桂酸乙酯(b )的不对称加氢,反应结果见表1.图5 固载化的脯氨酸衍生的含氮配体催化剂表1 乙(或苯甲)酰氨基肉桂酸乙酯的不对称加氢底物对映体选择性(%ee 3)均相硅胶USY 分子筛a841188109719b 901393159618 3:对映体过量值51第5期 张一平:均相催化剂的固载化研究 从表1可以看出,USY 分子筛固载的配合物上的对映体选择性要高于硅胶固载或均相催化剂,而且分子筛固载的催化剂多次重复使用后无活性降低或Rh 组分的流失.这是由于载体孔径的几何约束而导致配合物构象柔韧性受限制,从而防止配合物聚集,对催化剂的性能产生正影响.在以孔径较小的USY 分子筛为载体时,以体积小的a 为底物时所获得的对映体选择性要高于b 为底物时.这是因为载体孔径小时,分子比较大的底物不易进入固体催化剂的孔内,不能接触固定在孔内的催化剂活性组分,所以活性降低.Thomas 等人[13,14]发现载体也影响产物的构型.他们以中孔分子筛MC M -41(孔径25-100!)为载体,将二茂铁基双膦配体1与氨丙基硅烷2作用后,再与PdCl 2反应,制得硅烷化的Pd 配合物4,固载于MC M -41上,将此固载催化剂5用于生成哌啶甲酸乙酯7的反应(见图6),可以得到对映体选择性17%ee ,转化数291的反应结果,并且没有催化剂活性组分的流失.而用均相催化剂4反应时,产物为外消旋体,转化数98.尽管固载催化剂得到的对映体选择性还不是很理想,但这为避免外消旋产物的拆分带来了希望.图6 载体对产物构型的影响412 接枝过渡物质接枝长度的影响在一篇较早的文献中(1985年),K inting 等人[15]报道了SiO 2上固载手性Rh 催化剂中Si 与P 之间接枝长度的影响(见图7).首先,甲硅烷基化的手性单膦1a-c 被锚定在硅胶(K iesegel 100)上,然后将得到的膦化的载体与[RhCl (C 2H 4)2]2反应,这就是固载催化剂2a-c.而将这些固载的Rh 配合物2a-c 用于α-乙酰氨基肉桂酸(3)不对称加氢生成(R )-乙酰苯丙氨酸(4),所显示的稳定性和产物选择性均优于相应的均相催化剂Rh -1,这可归因于所谓的“活性位分离”(site-is olation ).由于固载化使活性位彼此分开,防止了相互作用而失活[16].61浙江教育学院学报 2004年图7 接枝长度对固载催化剂性能的影响接枝长度影响了催化剂的选择性和催化剂流失.当接枝长度增加时,对映体选择性增加,ee 值(对映体过量值)从2a (n =1)为催化剂时的67%增加到2c (n =5)的87%;而催化剂流失减少,催化剂三次重复使用后,对于2a (n =1),Rh 的流失量为90%,2c (n =5)为催化剂时,这个值仅为38%.这是因为接枝过渡物质较长,则越柔韧,Rh 配合物容易在表面形成二齿配位形式.此外,均相催化剂的固载浓度,金属原子的电子性质,反应介质(或溶剂)等等都对活性产生影响.随着研究工作的深入与发展,相信一定能弄清所有影响固载催化剂活性的因素.参考文献:[1]Vaccari A.Preparation and catalytic properties of cationic and anionic clays [J ].Catal.T

这种材料通常被制成粉末,但近来也有合成带有开放介孔纳米尺度的胶体微粒的工作报道[3-5]。
例如,在管状反应器中通过升高温度,利用气溶胶沉积技术,获得了平均粒径是200nm的带有介孔的微粒。
利用简单的淬火技术,更小尺寸的 MCM-41[1,2]氧化硅类的有序介孔分子筛材料也被合成出来。
在这一过程中,悬浮体系的稀释和pH值的中和对于降低共沉积的速度,最后获得稳定的介孔纳米微粒的悬浮体系起到了重要的作用,并且在540℃热处理二氧化硅的框架结构除去有机模板不会损坏介孔结构的完整。

MCM-48-like Large Mesoporous Silicas with Tailored PoreStructure:Facile Synthesis Domain in a Ternary TriblockCopolymer-Butanol-Water SystemTae-Wan Kim,Freddy Kleitz,‡Blain Paul,and Ryong Ryoo*Contribution from the National Creati V e Research Initiati V e Center for FunctionalNanomaterials,Department of Chemistry(School of Molecular Science-BK21), Korea Ad V anced Institute of Science and Technology,Daejeon,305-701Republic of KoreaReceived December9,2004;E-mail:rryoo@kaist.ac.krAbstract:Assembly of mesostructured silica using Pluronic P123triblock copolymer(EO20-PO70-EO20) and n-butanol mixture is a facile synthesis route to the MCM-48-like ordered large mesoporous silicas with the cubic Ia3h d mesostructure.The cubic phase domain is remarkably extended by controlling the amounts of butanol and silica source correspondingly.The extended phase domain allows synthesis of the mesoporous silicas with various structural characteristics.Characterization by powder X-ray diffraction, nitrogen physisorption,scanning electron microscopy,and transmission electron microscopy reveals that the cubic Ia3h d materials possess high specific surface areas,high pore volumes,and readily tunable pore diameters in narrow distribution of sizes ranging from4to12nm.Moreover,generation of complementary pores between the two chiral channels in the gyroid Ia3h d structure can be controlled systematically depending on synthesis conditions.Carbon replicas,using sucrose as the carbon precursor,are obtained with either the same Ia3h d structure or I41/a(or lower symmetry),depending on the controlled synthesis conditions for silica.Thus,the present discovery of the extended phase domain leads to facile synthesis of the cubic Ia3h d silica with precise structure control,offering vast prospects for future applications of large-pore silica materials with three-dimensional pore interconnectivity.IntroductionThe advent in the early1990s of ordered mesoporous materials synthesized with supramolecular aggregates of am-phiphiles acting as structure-directing agents resulted in an intense scientific research activity and opened up exciting prospects in fields as diverse as catalysis,adsorption,separation, sensing,drug delivery,optoelectronics,and for the manufacture of advanced nanostructured materials.1In general,ordered mesoporous materials exhibit significant properties,such as large and uniform pore sizes(typically,in the range of2-30nm in diameter),high surface area and pore volume,and well-defined pore topologies.Numerous methods are available for the functionalization of the surface and framework,2and shape control of the materials into various morphologies is also possible.3In addition,it was shown that ordered mesoporous silicas could serve themselves as hard templates for the fabrication of nanostructured materials and nonsiliceous meso-porous materials,1c,4including highly ordered mesoporous carbons(OMC).5Particularly interesting materials are mesoporous solids with the three-dimensional(3-D)cubic Ia3h d mesostructure,which consists of two interpenetrating continuous networks of

inorganic wall that follows exactly the gyroid(G-surface)7infinite periodic minimal surface (IPMS).8,9This unique3-D channel network is thought to provide a highly opened porous host with easy and direct access for guest species,thus facilitating inclusion or diffusion throughout the pore channels without pore blockage.While their properties attract increasing attention for potential use as catalyst, adsorbent,host for nanostructures,and hard templates for the fabrication of nano-objects,facile synthesis of such mesoporous solids with the cubic Ia3h d phase remains challenging.The ionic surfactant-directed cubic Ia3h d siliceous material designated as MCM-48is obtained under alkaline conditions in a narrow range of compositions and quite high temperatures,10-13by the addition of organic additives14-16or by employing mixtures of different surfactants as structure-directing agents,17for instance.More recently,other mesostructured and mesoporous materials with cubic Ia3h d mesophase could be obtained under different conditions.18-21However,all of these surfactant-directed cubic Ia3h d MCM-48-type mesoporous materials have relatively small pore sizes(usually below4nm in diameter),which could bring limitations for applications dealing with large molecules or the fabrication of nanostructured objects within the pores.Moreover, the small framework wall thickness usually reported for these materials results in poor thermal and hydrothermal stability. Therefore,scientific efforts have been focused on seeking new routes toward more stable and larger pore cubic Ia3h d meso-porous materials.Obviously,large-pore materials with the cubic Ia3h d structure could play a more significant role in material science if their preparation could be more simplified and widely generalized. One possible strategy in that direction is the use of nonionic block copolymers,which have been proven to be very versatile as structure-directing agents for the preparation of various ordered mesoporous materials,such as SBA-15(2-D hexagonal p6mm structure)and SBA-16(cubic Im3h m).22-30The meso-porous silicas obtained from block copolymers possess uniform pores above5nm in diameter and thick walls,exhibiting high thermal stability and improved hydrothermal stability compared with that of MCM-41.6Very recently,new synthesis pathways utilizing block copolymers as structure-directing agents have been proposed for the generation of cubic Ia3h d materials.Liu et al.31reported the preparation of mesoporous silica membranes displaying cubic Ia3h d structure using the evaporation-induced self-assembly method,3a,i with a mixture of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS)and sulfur-containing silane derivatives in ethanol. Subsequently,other methods were disclosed,using addition of NaI salt,32co-condensation reaction of TEOS with vinyl-containing silane,33or by using a laboratory-designed block copolymer.34Recently,we emphasized the crucial role of low acid concentrations(between0.1and0.5M)for the facile preparation of high-quality mesoporous silicas using block copolymers.27,28 We showed that high-quality2-D hexagonal SBA-15and phase-pure large cage face-centered cubic mesoporous silica,both with tailored textural properties,are easily synthesized with the Pluronic-type triblock copolymers by adjusting the kinetics of the inorganic-organic mesophase assembly.Shortly after,the utilization of such low acid catalyst concentration conditions, closer to a thermodynamically favored mesophase formation, suggested the use of cosolute molecules(hydrotropic molecule s) added to the block copolymer-water system in order to enrich the mesophase behavior.35,36Using n-butanol(BuOH)as a cosolute,we were able to synthesize a high-quality mesoporous silica,designated as KIT-6,with the cubic Ia3h d structure in high phase purity.However,certain fundamental aspects of the synthesis conditions,compositional ranges,and physicochemical properties still remained to be substantiated.In particular,the successful synthesis conditions were limited to an extremely narrow range of phase domain around TEOS/P123/HCl/H2O/ BuOH)1/0.017/1.83/195/1.31in mole ratio.The products exhibited loss of the Ia3h d structural order even with a slight variation of the amount of butanol or silica source.In the present work,we discovered that the phase domain for the cubic Ia3h d mesoporous silica could be greatly extended, whereas the amounts of BuOH and silica source were changed correspondingly.The extended phase domain covering a wide range of TEOS/P123allowed facile synthesis of the large-pore cubic Ia3h d silica materials with various structural characteristics. The porous materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD),N2physisorption analysis,scanning electron microscopy (SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and by using(6)Beck,J.S.;Vartuli,J.C.;Roth,W.J.;Leonowicz,M.E.;Kresge,C.T.;Schmitt,K.D.;Chu,C.T.-W.;Olson,D.H.;Sheppard,E.W.;McCullen, S.B.;Higgins,J.B.;Schenkler,J.L.J.Am.Chem.Soc.1992,114,10834.(7)Schoen,A.H.NASA Technical Note D-5541;NASA:Washington,D.C.,1970.(8)Alfredsson,V.;Andersson,M.W.Chem.Mater.1996,8,1141.(9)Carlsson,A.;Kaneda,M.;Sakamoto,Y.;Terasaki,O.;Ryoo,R.;Joo,S.H.J.Electron Microsc.1999,48,795.(10)Monnier,A.;Schu¨th,F.;Huo,Q.S.;Kumar,D.;Margolese,D.I.;Maxwell,R.S.;Stucky,G.D.;Krishnamurty,M.;Petroff,P.;Firouzi,A.;Janicke, M.;Chmelka,B.F.Science1993,261,1299.(11)Vartuli,J.C.;Schmitt,K.D.;Kresge,C.T.;Roth,W.J.;Leonowicz,M.E.;Sheppardt,B.;McCullen,S.B.;Hellring,S.D.;Beck,J.S.;Schenkler,J.L.;Olson,D.H.;Sheppard,E.W.Chem.Mater.1994,6,2317.(12)Morey,M.S.;Davidson,A.;Stucky,G.D.J.Porous Mater.1998,5,195.(13)Sayari,A.J.Am.Chem.Soc.2000,122,6504.(14)Huo,Q.;Margolese,D.I.;Stucky,G.D.Chem.Mater.1996,8,1147.(15)Gallis,K.W.;Landry,C.C.Chem.Mater.1997,9,2035.(16)Kim,J.M.;Kim,S.K.;Ryoo,mun.1998,259.(17)(a)Chen,F.X.;Huang,L.M.;Li,Q.Z.Chem.Mater.1997,9,2685.(b)Ryoo,R.;Joo,S.H.;Kim,J.M.J.Phys.Chem.B1999,103,7435.(c) Zhao,W.;Li,Q.Z.Chem.Mater.2003,15,4160.(18)Che,S.;Kamiya,S.;Terasaki,O.;Tatsumi,T.J.Am.Chem.Soc.2001,123,12089.(19)Kleitz,F.;Thomson,S.J.;Liu,Z.;Terasaki,O.;Schu¨th,F.Chem.Mater.2002,14,4134.(20)Trikalitis,P.N.;Rangan,K.K.;Bakas,T.;Kanatzidis,M.G.J.Am.Chem.Soc.2002,124,12255.(21)Ogura,M.;Miyoshi,H.;Naik,S.P.;Okubo,T.J.Am.Chem.Soc.2004,126,10937.(22)Zhao,D.;Huo,Q.;Feng,J.;Chmelka,B.F.;Stucky,G.D.J.Am.Chem.Soc.1998,120,6024.(23)Sakamoto,Y.;Kaneda,M.;Terasaki,O.;Zhao,D.;Kim,J.M.;Stucky,G.D.;Shin,H.J.;Ryoo,R.Nature2000,408,449.(24)Yu,C.;Yu,Y.;Zhao,mun.2000,575.(25)Kipkemboi,P.;Fogden,A.;Alfredsson,V.;Flodstro¨m,ngmuir2001,17,5398.(26)Matos,J.R.;Kruk,M.;Mercuri,L.P.;Jaroniec,M.;Zhao,L.;Kamiyama,T.;Terasaki,O.;Pinnavaia,T.J.;Liu,Y.J.Am.Chem.Soc.2003,125, 821.(27)Choi,M.;Heo,W.;Kleitz,F.;Ryoo,mun.2003,1340.(28)Kleitz,F.;Liu,D.;Anilkumar,G.M.;Park,I.S.;Solovyov,L.A.;Shmakov,A.N.;Ryoo,R.J.Phys.Chem.B2003,107,14296.(29)Soler-Illia,G.J.A.A.;Crepaldi,E.L.;Grosso,D.;Sanchez,C.Curr.Opin.Colloid Interface Sci.2003,8,109and references therein.

The silica source was TEOS(ACROS,98%)or sodium silicate(DC Chemical,Korea,25wt%aqueous solution,Si/Na)1.5).The molar composition of the starting reaction mixture was varied in the range of0.017P123/x TEOS/y BuOH/z HCl/195H2O,with x)1.0-2.4,y)1.31-2.22,and z)1.83-2.75.The reaction temperature with TEOS was fixed at308K,and hydrothermal temperatures were varied from 308to403K.A typical preparation of the large-pore cubic Ia3h d mesoporous silica,designated as KIT-6,is as follows:354.0g of P123 is dissolved in144g of distilled water and7.9g of35wt%HCl solution with stirring at308K.After complete dissolution,4.0g of BuOH is added at once.After1h stirring,8.6g of TEOS is added at once to the homogeneous clear solution.This mixture is left under vigorous and constant stirring at308K for24h.The synthesis is carried out in a closed polypropylene bottle.Subsequently,the mixture is aged at373K for24h under static conditions(this process is referred to as hydrothermal treatment).The white precipitated product is filtered hot without washing and dried at373K for24h in air.Surfactant-free mesoporous materials are obtained after a brief ethanol/HCl washing and subsequent calcination at823K in air.In another set of experiments, the hydrothermal treatment temperature,under static conditions fol-lowing the initial reaction at308K,was varied from308to403K.The synthesis described above may be carried out in a much larger batch,using for instance,64g of P123in2.3L of aqueous solution. Alternatively,cubic Ia3h d materials can identically be synthesized with sodium silicate as the silica precursor.For this synthesis,sodium silicate (25wt%aqueous solution,Si/Na)1.5)was used with BuOH/P123) 1.2in wt ratio,and the initial reaction temperature was set to298K before the hydrothermal heating.Typically,6g of P123is dissolved in144g of distilled water and16.1g of35wt%HCl solution with stirring at298K.After complete dissolution,7.2g of BuOH is added at once.After1h stirring,74.5g of sodium silicate5wt%solution (diluted from25wt%)is added at once to the homogeneous solution. This mixture is left under vigorous stirring at298K for24h.The mixture is then aged at373K for24h under static conditions.For the sodium silicate-based synthesis,hydrothermal aging can be performed at temperatures as high as423K during24h.Carbon replicas were prepared using KIT-6silicas as the template and sucrose as the carbon precursor.The synthetic details for the carbon materials followed the procedures described elsewhere for carbon syntheses using MCM-48and SBA-15,but the amount of the carbon source was adjusted in proportion to the total pore volume of the parent silica templates.5a,c Typically,calcined KIT-6silica was impregnated with an aqueous solution of sucrose containing sulfuric acid.The mixture was placed in a drying oven for6h at373K,and subsequently, the oven temperature was increased to433K and maintained there for 6h.Sucrose was impregnated once again,and the resultant mixture was treated at373and433K.The carbonization was completed in a designed quartz reactor with a capillary cap by pyrolysis with heating to1173K under atmospheric pressure.The resultant carbon/silica composite was washed with HF solution(10%in water/ethanol mixture).Measurements.XRD patterns were recorded on a Rigaku Multiplex instrument operated at1.5kW,using Cu K R radiation.Synchrotron powder XRD data were collected using BL8C2at Pohang Light Source in the reflection mode(λ)0.154250nm).The nitrogen adsorption isotherms were measured at liquid nitrogen temperature(77K)using a Quantachrome Autosorb-1MP volumetric adsorption analyzer.Before the measurements,silica samples were outgassed under vacuum for 12h at473K.The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET)equation was used to calculate the apparent surface area from adsorption data obtained at P/P0between0.05and0.2.The total volume of micro-and mesopores was calculated from the amount of nitrogen adsorbed at P/P0)0.95, assuming that adsorption on the external surface was negligible compared to adsorption in pores.The pore size distributions(PSD) were calculated by analyzing the adsorption branch of the N2sorption isotherm using the Barret-Joyner-Halenda(BJH)method.Nonlocal density functional theory(NLDFT)analyses were performed to evaluate surface areas,pore volumes,and pore sizes.40-42For the analyses,the kernel of NLDFT equilibrium capillary condensation isotherms of N2 at77K on silica was selected for the model isotherms(using desorption branch,and assuming cylindrical pores).Both the BJH and the DFT models were chosen to obtain values from two independent methods. The absolute accuracy of each model for the pore size distributions remains to be determined for the cubic Ia3h d materials and requires further comprehensive investigations.However,a relative comparison of the values can be performed for each method considering the error of the models as being systematic.SEM images were obtained with a field emission Philips SEM-535M microscope operating at20kV.The silica samples were coated with gold before SEM measurement.TEM images were taken from thin edges of particles supported on a porous carbon grid,using JEOL JEM-3010equipment operated at300kV. ResultsPowder XRD patterns of surfactant-free mesoporous silicas are depicted in Figure1,demonstrating the crucial role of the HCl concentration on the structure of the mesophase formed. The materials presented are synthesized with the hydrothermal treatment performed at373K for24h and the molar ratios of P123/TEOS/BuOH)0.017/1.2/1.31,with varying HCl con-centration.From the evolution of the diffraction patterns,it is clearly seen that the cubic Ia3h d phase is formed in the presence of butanol exclusively if the concentration of the acid catalyst is decreased to as low as0.75M,with the other synthetic parameters remaining constant.Higher concentrations afford2-D hexagonal SBA-15-type mesoporous materials.Synthesis in the range of0.25-0.75M HCl gives high yields of highly ordered cubic mesoporous silica,close to100%on the basis of silica recovery.The preparation method has the advantage of being(37)Kaneda,M.;Tsubakiyama,T.;Carlsson,A.;Sakamoto,Y.;Ohsuna,T.;Terasaki,O.;Joo,S.H.;Ryoo,R.J.Phys.Chem.B2002,106,1256.

SJ.AM.CHEM.SOC.9VOL.127,NO.20,20057603simple and highly reproducible in large quantities.The XRD patterns of the cubic mesoporous materials indicate excellent structural order with the symmetry being commensurate with the body-centered cubic Ia 3h d space group.The exact assignment to the Ia 3h d symmetry was confirmed separately by transmission electron microscopy and electron crystallography investigations and reported elsewhere.35,39Noteworthy,highly resolved XRD patterns and the electron microscopy studies suggest no structural distortion,different from what was concluded for other related cubic mesophases (designated as FDU-5).31,46The unit cell size,calculated from the (211)reflection of the cubic Ia 3h d phase,is measured to be 22.4nm for the calcined materials obtained at 0.5M (TEOS/BuOH )1.2/1.31,at 373K),a value substantially larger than that of the unit cell parameter of tetraalkylammonium-based cubic analogues (e.g.,MCM-48and related materials).10-21One can additionally note a decrease in the d -spacing of the main diffraction peaks upon comparing the XRD pattern of the 2-D hexagonal phase obtained at 1.0M HCl (d 100)9.5nm)and the cubic Ia 3h d one at 0.75M (d 211)9.3nm).Such observable changes in position with a small change in HCl concentration are expected when mesophase transition occurs.43-46Well-developed cubic Ia 3h d mesophases are obtained when the syntheses are performed at 0.5M HCl,the latter being the concentration employed to synthesize the materials described in the following text.The cubic Ia 3h d phase is readily obtainable in a wide range of composition by varying the initial amounts of BuOH and TEOS that are added to the P123-HCl -H 2O system (at 0.5M HCl).By changing simultaneously these two synthetic variables,we have been able to map the phases that can be generated in the systems,resulting in a detailed synthesis product phase diagram as a function of the amounts of silica source and BuOH (see Figure 2).For this phase diagram,all syntheses were performed at a reaction temperature of 308K,and the subsequent aging temperature was 373K.The amount of BuOH added to the synthesis is decisive for the nature of the mesophase.As it can be seen,the region,where a well-developed cubic Ia 3h d phase is obtained,is situated between a large region of 2-D hexagonal mesophase and a region where a less-ordered phase is produced.This poorly ordered phase exhibiting one main broad diffraction peak has not been further characterized.The phase region for the gyroid Ia 3h d structure is highly reproducible and thus well defined,indicating an approximately linear relationship between the amounts of BuOH and TEOS.The interval ratios where the Ia 3h d phase forms are P123/TEOS/BuOH )0.017/1.0-2.4/1.2-2.2in molar ratio.At a fixed amount of TEOS,increasing amounts of BuOH added to the synthesis batch lead to transition from 2-D hexagonal to the cubic Ia 3h d mesophase,to,finally,the disordered phase,through smaller domains of intermediate mixed phases.These features are illustrated in Figure 3for the case of materials synthesized with a fixed ratio of P123/TEOS/BuOH )0.017/1.5/y ,where y is varied from 1.31to 1.97at 0.5M HCl.The XRD patterns recorded as a function of the BuOH amount show that the structure evolves from a 2-D hexagonal phase analogous to SBA-1522to the cubic Ia 3h d phase as the amount of butanol is increased.Conversely,increasing the amount of the silica source in the system while keeping the BuOH amount constant leads to transition from the poorly ordered phase to the well-ordered Ia 3h d phase to,finally,the 2-D hexagonal phase (see Figure S1of the Supporting Information for the XRD patterns).(43)Ågren,P.;Linde

BuOH (y <1in mole ratio)yields materials with the 2-D hexagonal phase.Noteworthy,the range,where the cubic Ia 3h d phase is generated,could widely be enlarged compared to our initial communication on the synthesis,35in which the cubic phase was described for a fixed molar ratio of P123/TEOS/BuOH )0.017/1/1.31.Nitrogen adsorption -desorption isotherms were measured at liquid nitrogen temperature on cubic Ia 3h d samples synthesized according to the gel compositions taken in the cubic phase domain,with concurrent increase of the BuOH and TEOS contents (XRD patterns of the selected silicas are collected in Figure S2,Supporting Information).The resulting sorption isotherms,depicted in Figures S3,obtained for the different calcined samples are all type IV isotherms with a pronounced capillary condensation step,characteristic of high-quality large-pore mesoporous materials.The presence of an H1hysteresis loop indicates channel-like pores,and the pore size distribution is narrow (Figure S4).In Table 1,the lattice and textural parameters of these representative cubic Ia 3h d porous meso-structured materials synthesized with the addition of BuOH as a co-structure directing agent are summarized.The materials typically synthesized at 373K have high BET area in the range of 700-800m 2g -1and large pore volume (up to 1cm 3g -1).The median pore diameter,as evaluated from the BJH model and DFT calculations,varies between 6.8and 8.2nm,strongly depending on the gel composition.As shown in Table 1,an observed trend is the decrease of the mesopore size as the quantities of TEOS and BuOH are increased.This tendency is confirmed by direct observation of the isotherms,where a shift of the position of the capillary condensation toward lower relative pressures occurs (Figure S3).The hydrothermal treatment was varied between 308and 403K for a selected gel composition (0.017P123/1.2TEOS/1.31BuOH/1.83HCl/195H 2O)to allow the effective tailoring of the textural parameters of the cubic Ia 3h d KIT-6silica.The XRD patterns of the materials after calcination at 823K are reported in Figure 4.The silica samples synthesized at various temper-atures all exhibit diffraction patterns characteristic of the cubic Ia 3h d mesostructure.A noticeable increase in the d -spacing,and hence,lattice parameters,occurs upon the increase of the temperature applied for the hydrothermal treatment.In addition,one can clearly point to some pronounced differences in the relative peak intensities between the first diffraction peaks of the cubic Ia 3h d phase and the diffraction peaks at higher 2θangles with increasing treatment temperature,while retaining a high degree of mesoscopic ordering.Figures 5and 6show the nitrogen sorption isotherms and pore size distributions,respec-tively,for the same series of samples.The sorption isotherms for the different calcined samples remain type IV isotherms,similar to SBA-15-type materials,22,25,27,40with a
