Application of Heterogeneous Catalysts in Dechlorination of Chlorophenols
Chlorophenols (CPs) is a very important kind of basic organic chemical intermediates such as sanitizers, germicides, insecticides and so on; but CPs also constitutes a particular group of priority pollutants that widely distribute in wastewater and the polluted groundwater. Because of their acute toxicity, persistence and low biodegradability, their emissions have been progressively restricted by strong legal regulations. In this chapter, we focused on methods for degrading of CPs recent years, especially by using new heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation methods to the dechlorination of CPs. The purpose is to introduce scientific research workers and companies to waste water treatments in order to inspire and further better protect the environment

Single crystal of a one-dimensional metallo-covalent organic framework.
Although polymers have been studied for well over a century, there are few examples of covalently linked polymer crystals synthesised directly from solution. One-dimensional (1D) covalent polymers that are packed into a framework structure can be viewed as a 1D covalent organic framework (COF), but making a single crystal of this has been elusive. Herein, by combining labile metal coordination and dynamic covalent chemistry, we discover a strategy to synthesise single-crystal metallo-COFs under solvothermal conditions. The single-crystal structure is rigorously solved using single-crystal electron diffraction technique. The non-centrosymmetric metallo-COF allows second harmonic generation. Due to the presence of syntactic pendant amine groups along the polymer chains, the metallopolymer crystal can be further cross-linked into a crystalline woven network
Crystalline Polyphenylene Covalent Organic Frameworks
The synthesis of crystalline polyphenylene covalent organic frameworks (COFs) was accomplished by linking fluorinated tris(4-acetylphenyl)benzene building units using aldol cyclotrimerization. The structures of two COFs, reported here, were confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction techniques, Fourier-transform infrared, and solid-state 13C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy. The results showed that the COFs were porous and chemically stable in corrosive, harsh environments for at least 1 week. Accordingly, post-synthetically modified derivatives of these COFs using primary amines showed CO2 uptake from air and flue gas
Research Status and Development Trend of Piezoelectric Accelerometer
Piezoelectric accelerometers have been widely used because of their large range, simple structure, stable performance, and other advantages. With the improvement of science and technology, the application field is expanding, but there are still some problems in high-temperature environments and low-frequency vibration conditions. Under high-temperature environments, the piezoelectric material will undergo depolarization or resistance change, resulting in sensor failure. Aerospace instruments, water conservancy platforms, and other fields require high-precision instruments with vibration amplitudes of the order of a few microns in the range of 0.01–1 Hz, which require low-frequency and ultra-low-frequency sensors for the measurements. Therefore, how to increase the operating temperature and reduce the noise of piezoelectric accelerometers has become a problem that needs to be solved. This paper reviews the structure, principle, application range, and material selection of piezoelectric components of different types of piezoelectric accelerometers and summarizes the current problems and future research priorities

Molecular weaving of chicken-wire covalent organic frameworks
Molecular weaving is the interlacing of covalently linked threads to make extended structures. Although weaving based on 3D networks has been reported, the 2D forms remain largely unexplored. Reticular chemistry uses mutually embracing tetrahedral metal complexes as crossing points, which, when linked, typically lead to 3D woven structures. Realizing 2D weaving patterns requires crossing points with an overall planar geometry. We show that polynuclear helicates composed of multiple metal-complex units, and therefore multiple turns, are well suited in this regard. By reticulating helicate units, we successfully obtained 2D weaving structures based on the familiar chicken-wire pattern
"on Water" Direct Organocatalytic Cyanoarylmethylation of Isatins for the Diastereoselective Synthesis of 3-Hydroxy-3-cyanomethyl Oxindoles
An "on water" organocatalytic cyanoarylmethylation of aryl acetonitrile to isatins is developed, giving products in high yields and up to excellent diastereoselectivities. A remarkable enhancement of reaction rates and diastereoselectivities by water was observed under mild conditions. Moreover, this approach provides a highly efficient and environmentally benign access to thermodynamic 3-hydroxy-3-cyanomethyl oxindoles.Accepted Author ManuscriptChemE/Inorganic Systems Engineerin
