The calculated interaction energies with basis set super-position error correction of the four IXBs complexes are 218.87, 219.48, 159.18, and 143.05kJ/mol (MP2/6-311++G(d, p)), respectively. The relative stabilities of the four complexes increased in the order: CH3+ … BrCN〈CH3+…- BrNC〈CH3+… BrH≈CH3+ …BrCCH. Natural bond orbital theory analysis and the chemical shifts calculation of the related atoms revealed that the charges flow from Br-Y to CH3e. Here, the Br of Br-Y acts as both a halogen bond donor and an electron donor. Therefore, compared with conventional halogen bonds, the IXBs complexes formed between Br-Y and CH3+. Atoms-in-molecules theory has been used to investigate the topological properties of the critical points of the four IXBs structures which have more covalent content.展开更多

We described th...A group parameter approach using "total organic halogen" is effective for monitoring gaseous organic halogen compounds, including fluorine, chlorine, and bromine compounds, generated from combustion. We described the use of barrier-discharge radiofrequency- helium-plasma/atomic emission spectrometry, for the detection of semi- and low-volatile organic halogen compounds (SLVOXs), which can be collected by CarbotrapTM adsorbents and analyzed using thermal desorpfion. The optimal carder gas flow rates at the injection and desorption lines were established to be 100 mL/min. The detection range for SLVOXs in the gaseous samples was from 10 ng to tens of micrograms. Measuring F was more difficult than measuring C1 or Br, because the wavelength of F is close to that of air. The barrier- discharge radiofrequency-helium-plasma/atomic emission spectrometry measured from 85% to 103% of the SLVOXs in the gas sample. It has been found that Carbotrap B is appropriate for high-boiling-point compounds, and Carbotrap C is suitable for the determination of organic halogen compounds with lower boiling points, in the range 200-230℃. Under optimal analysis conditions, a chlorine- containing plastic was destroyed using different oxygen concentrations. Lower oxygen concentrations resulted in the production of lower amounts of organic halogen compounds.展开更多

First of all, the FR yarn and FR textiles were developed for this purpose. Second, the comparison analysis between the halogen laminating textiles and halogen-free laminating textiles were tested to figure out the eco-friendly laminating method. Third, the flame retardant ability was compared the halogen laminated textiles to halogen-free laminated textiles. LOI, UV protection ratio, antibiosis after 50 laundry test, water proof pressure, and moisture permeability of developed textiles were tested. GC-HR-TOF-MS was used for analysis of laminating film (halogen and halogen-free). 4.1 wt% TiO2 yarn showed antibacterial function (Pneumococcus & Staphylococcus aureus: 99.9%), UV Protection (UVA: 90.8, UVB: 92.1), and LOI (33.6). The chosen optimal compounding ratio for PU compound of HRF and HFFR were as followed: PU resin 58.3%, DMF (Dimethyl formamide, δ = 12.2) 8.3%, MEK (Methylethylketone) 8.3% and FR (flame retardants) 25.0%. Binder for laminating should not be included over 10% of FRs because of adhesion between textiles and FR laminating film. There were detected phosphorus compounds in the textiles treated by halogenated type flame retardants and halogenated-free type flame retardants. There were not any detected harmful compounds from all textile samples.展开更多

Based on the experimental data of the acute toxicity to Tetrahymena pyriformis (-lgEC_50), three-parameter (energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (E_LUMO), the molecular volume (V), and the lowest negative charge (Q_min)) dependent equations were developed using structural parameters as theoretical descriptors. Especially, -lgEC_50dependent equation calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G^** level is more advantageous than the others in view of their correlation and predictive abilities. This dependent equation was validated by variance inflation factors (VIF) and t-test methods. Upon comparison, the predictive abilities of our work are all more advantageous than those calculated from the semi-empirical PM3 method.展开更多

The molecular electrostatic potentials, geometrical parameters and interaction energy of halogen and hydrogen bonding complexes combined with natural bond orbital analysis are obtained. The results indicate that both halogen and hydrogen bonding interactions obey the order CI〈Br〈I, and hydrogen bonding is stronger than the corresponding halogen bond- ing. So, hydrogen bonding complexes should be dominant in trihalomethanes. However, it is possible that halogen bonding complex is competitive, even preponderant, in triiodomethane due to the similar interaction energy. This work might provide useful information on specific solvent effects as well as for understanding the mechanism of nitroxide radicals as a bioprobe to interact with the halogenated compounds in biological and biochemical fields.展开更多

Using B3LYP method of DFT in the Gaussian 03 program, we obtain the structural and thermodynamic descriptors of 16 halogenated benzenes by fully-optimized calculation at the 6-311G** level. Taking the structural and thermodynamic descriptors as theoretical descriptors, the 2D QSAR model (R2 = 0.983) was established, which can be utilized to predict -lgEC50 of halogenated benzene according to the corrected linear solvation energy theory based on the experimental data of-lgECs0. In addition, the relationship between the toxicity and 3D spatial structure of the compound is studied by comparing the molecular similarity index analysis (CoMSIA) of 3D-QSAR method. By cross validation, the correlation coefficient q2 of CoMSIA model is 0.687, and the conventional correlation coefficient R2 = 0.958. The model is stable and reliable with great predictive ability. The 3D-QSAR model shows that the toxicity of halogenated benzene compound is mainly affected by the characteristics of hydrophobie field of the substituted halogens.展开更多

文摘Halogenated aromatic disinfection byproducts(DBPs)are gradually receiving attention due to their high detection frequency and usually higher toxicity than regulated DBPs.In this study,we established a solid phase extraction(SPE)-LC-MS/MS method to simultaneously trace analyze 59 halogenated aromatic DBPs.The limits of detection and limits of quantification of halogenated aromatic DBPs ranged from 0.03 to 135.23 ng/L and from 0.1 to 450.76 ng/L,respectively.The range of recoveries and relative standard deviation(RSD)in river water were between 72.41%to 119.54%and 1.86%to 16.03%,respectively.Therefore,this method can be used to accurately analyze trace levels of halogenated aromatic DBPs in drinking water.The occurrence and transformation of halogenated aromatic DBPs were explored based on this method.In the chlorinated simulated source water and chlorinated river water,20 and 45 halogenated aromatic DBPs were determined,respectively.The active halogen species(HOCl,HOBr,and HOI)first reacted with natural organic matter(NOM)to form halogenated aromatic DBPs.Then,chlorine further reacted with the halogenated aromatic DBPs to convert them into small-molecule halogenated aliphatic DBPs through oxidation,electrophilic substitution,and hydrolysis reaction,etc.In the chlorinated simulated source water,chlorinated river water,and tap water,the toxicity contribution of bromoacetic acids(Br-HAAs)accounted for themajority(>71.16%).Given that halogenated aromatic DBPs are intermediate products of halogenated aliphatic DBPs,controlling the formation of halogenated aromatic DBPs is beneficial in decreasing the formation of halogenated aliphatic DBPs,thereby diminishing the toxicity of drinking water.

文摘Despite the extensive application of advanced oxidation processes(AOPs)in water treatment,the efficiency of AOPs in eliminating various emerging contaminants such as halogenated antibiotics is constrained by a number of factors.Halogen moieties exhibit strong resistance to oxidative radicals,affecting the dehalogenation and detoxification efficiencies.To address these limitations of AOPs,advanced reduction processes(ARPs)have been proposed.Herein,a novel nucleophilic reductant—namely,the carbon dioxide radical anion(CO_(2)^(·-))—is introduced for the simultaneous degradation,dehalogenation,and detoxification of florfenicol(FF),a typical halogenated antibiotic.The results demonstrate that FF is completely eliminated by CO_(2)^(·-),with approximately 100%of Cland 46%of Freleased after 120 min of treatment.Simultaneous detoxification is observed,which exhibits a linear response to the release of free inorganic halogen ions(R^(2)=0.97,p<0.01).The formation of halogen-free products is the primary reason for the superior detoxification performance of this method,in comparison with conventional hydroxyl-radical-based AOPs.Products identification and density functional theory(DFT)calculations reveal the underlying dehalogenation mechanism,in which the chlorine moiety of FF is more susceptible than other moieties to nucleophilic attack by CO_(2)^(·-).Moreover,CO_(2)^(·-)-based ARPs exhibit superior dehalogenation efficiencies(>75%)in degrading a series of halogenated antibiotics,including chloramphenicol(CAP),thiamphenicol(THA),diclofenac(DLF),triclosan(TCS),and ciprofloxacin(CIP).The system shows high tolerance to the pH of the solution and the presence of natural water constituents,and demonstrates an excellent degradation performance in actual groundwater,indicating the strong application potential of CO_(2)^(·-)-based ARPs in real life.Overall,this study elucidates the feasibility of CO_(2)^(·-)for the simultaneous degradation,dehalogenation,and detoxification of halogenated antibiotics and provides a promising method for their regulation during water or wastewater treatment.

文摘The separation of halogens and recovery of heavy metals from secondary copper smelting(SCS)dust using a sulfating roasting−water leaching process were investigated.The thermodynamic analysis results confirm the feasibility of the phase transformation to metal sulfates and to gaseous HF and HCl.Under the sulfating roasting conditions of the roasting temperature of 250℃ and the sulfuric acid excess coefficient of 1.8,over 74 wt.%of F and 98 wt.%of Cl were volatilized into flue gas.Approximately 98.6 wt.%of Zn and 96.5 wt.%of Cu in the roasting product were dissolved into the leaching solution after the water leaching process,while the leaching efficiencies of Pb and Sn were only 0.12%and 0.22%,respectively.The mechanism studies indicate the pivotal effect of roasting temperature on the sulphation reactions from various metal species to metal sulfates and the salting out reactions from various metal halides to gaseous hydrogen halides.

文摘Photocatalysis is considered as the promising energy conversion way to resolve the issues of energy crisis and environmental pollution.As the key point of the photocatalysis,the photocatalyst determines the final conversion efficiency from solar,therefore,the composition and photoelectronic nature of which deserve to be valued.Halogen often affects immensely the intrinsic electron configuration of the matrix because of electrophilic property,and thus its topic has attracted lots of attention for photocatalytic application.In this review,halogencontained organic porous semiconductors are discussed in detailed.Firstly,the role of halogens in photocatalysis based on organic porous semiconductors are categorized.Then,the way to introduce the halogens into organic porous semiconductors and their applications in photocatalysis are reviewed.At last,the outlooks are given at the end of this paper.This review would bring new insights into the non-metal doping engineering for improving the photocatalytic performance of organic semiconductors.

文摘Conventionally,organic radicals adhere to the Aufbau principle,the energy level of the singly occupied molecular orbital(SOMO)is not below the highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO),but somewhat abnormal phenomena have appeared recently.In this study,we introduce a novel strategy by incorporating unique NHC-Au-X units into a tris(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methyl(TTM)system to create metal-involved open-shell complexes,denoted as TTM-NHC-Au-X(X=I,Br,or Cl).Density-functional theory calculations were used to predict an inversion in the energy of the SOMO and highest doubly occupied molecular orbital(HOMO)of TTM-NHC-Au-I,which is supported by experimental results.Organometallic radicals TTM-NHC-Au-X demonstrated distinct properties with different coordinated halides.The radical behaviors have been investigated by EPR,UV-vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry,additional structural information provided by structurally comparing related the precursor complexes given by X-ray crystallography.TTM-NHC-Au-I with SOMO-HOMO conversion(SHC)features a highly thermal decomposition temperature up to 305℃.Furthermore,the photostability of TTM-NHC-Au-I was found to be 75and 23 times greater than that of TTM-NHC-Au-Br and TTM-NHC-Au-Cl,respectively.These findings provide valuable insights into the structural and electronic design principles governing the occurrence of SOMO-HOMO conversion in open-shell systems.
文摘Ensuring the health and safety of drinking water is crucial for both nations and their citizens.Since the 20th century,the disinfection of drinking water,effectively controlling pathogens in water sources,has become one of the significant advances in public health.However,the disinfectants used in the process,such as chlorine and chlorine dioxide,react with natural organic matter in the water to produce disinfection by-products(DBPs).Most of these DBPs contain chlorine,and if the source water contains bromine or iodine,brominated or iodinated DBPs,collectively referred to as Halogenated disinfection byproducts(X-DBPs),are formed.Numerous studies have found that X-DBPs pose potential risks to human health and the environment,leading to widespread concern.Mass spectrometry has become an important means of discovering new types of X-DBPs.This paper focuses on the study of methods for analyzing X-DBPs in drinking water using mass spectrometry.
文摘A straightforward protocol using readily available aromatic amines,N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine or N,N,N',N'-tetramethylbenzidine,as photocatalysts was developed for theefficient hydrodehalogenation of organic halides,such as 4'-bromoacetophenone,polyfluoroarenes,cholorobenzene,and 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether(a resistant and persistent organic pollu-tant).The strongly reducing singlet excited states of the amines enabled diffusion-controlled disso-ciative electron transfer to effectively cleave carbon-halogen bonds,followed by radical hydrogena-tion.Diisopropylethylamine served as the terminal electron/proton donor and regenerated theamine sensitizers.

文摘Inverse halogen bonds interactions involving Br in the electronic deficiency systems of CH3+...Br-Y (Y=H, CCH, CN, NC) have been investigated by B3LYP/6- 311++G(d, p) and MP2/6-311++G(d, p) methods. The calculated interaction energies with basis set super-position error correction of the four IXBs complexes are 218.87, 219.48, 159.18, and 143.05kJ/mol (MP2/6-311++G(d, p)), respectively. The relative stabilities of the four complexes increased in the order: CH3+ … BrCN〈CH3+…- BrNC〈CH3+… BrH≈CH3+ …BrCCH. Natural bond orbital theory analysis and the chemical shifts calculation of the related atoms revealed that the charges flow from Br-Y to CH3e. Here, the Br of Br-Y acts as both a halogen bond donor and an electron donor. Therefore, compared with conventional halogen bonds, the IXBs complexes formed between Br-Y and CH3+. Atoms-in-molecules theory has been used to investigate the topological properties of the critical points of the four IXBs structures which have more covalent content.

文摘A group parameter approach using "total organic halogen" is effective for monitoring gaseous organic halogen compounds, including fluorine, chlorine, and bromine compounds, generated from combustion. We described the use of barrier-discharge radiofrequency- helium-plasma/atomic emission spectrometry, for the detection of semi- and low-volatile organic halogen compounds (SLVOXs), which can be collected by CarbotrapTM adsorbents and analyzed using thermal desorpfion. The optimal carder gas flow rates at the injection and desorption lines were established to be 100 mL/min. The detection range for SLVOXs in the gaseous samples was from 10 ng to tens of micrograms. Measuring F was more difficult than measuring C1 or Br, because the wavelength of F is close to that of air. The barrier- discharge radiofrequency-helium-plasma/atomic emission spectrometry measured from 85% to 103% of the SLVOXs in the gas sample. It has been found that Carbotrap B is appropriate for high-boiling-point compounds, and Carbotrap C is suitable for the determination of organic halogen compounds with lower boiling points, in the range 200-230℃. Under optimal analysis conditions, a chlorine- containing plastic was destroyed using different oxygen concentrations. Lower oxygen concentrations resulted in the production of lower amounts of organic halogen compounds.
文摘This study was to develop the flame retardant (FR) protective clothing which had multifunction such anti-bacterial, UV cut, FR function with water repellent and water vapor permeable laminating textiles for industrial workers. First of all, the FR yarn and FR textiles were developed for this purpose. Second, the comparison analysis between the halogen laminating textiles and halogen-free laminating textiles were tested to figure out the eco-friendly laminating method. Third, the flame retardant ability was compared the halogen laminated textiles to halogen-free laminated textiles. LOI, UV protection ratio, antibiosis after 50 laundry test, water proof pressure, and moisture permeability of developed textiles were tested. GC-HR-TOF-MS was used for analysis of laminating film (halogen and halogen-free). 4.1 wt% TiO2 yarn showed antibacterial function (Pneumococcus & Staphylococcus aureus: 99.9%), UV Protection (UVA: 90.8, UVB: 92.1), and LOI (33.6). The chosen optimal compounding ratio for PU compound of HRF and HFFR were as followed: PU resin 58.3%, DMF (Dimethyl formamide, δ = 12.2) 8.3%, MEK (Methylethylketone) 8.3% and FR (flame retardants) 25.0%. Binder for laminating should not be included over 10% of FRs because of adhesion between textiles and FR laminating film. There were detected phosphorus compounds in the textiles treated by halogenated type flame retardants and halogenated-free type flame retardants. There were not any detected harmful compounds from all textile samples.

文摘Structural parameters of 22 halogen phenols were computed at four levels using Hartree-Fock and DFT methods. Based on the experimental data of the acute toxicity to Tetrahymena pyriformis (-lgEC_50), three-parameter (energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (E_LUMO), the molecular volume (V), and the lowest negative charge (Q_min)) dependent equations were developed using structural parameters as theoretical descriptors. Especially, -lgEC_50dependent equation calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G^** level is more advantageous than the others in view of their correlation and predictive abilities. This dependent equation was validated by variance inflation factors (VIF) and t-test methods. Upon comparison, the predictive abilities of our work are all more advantageous than those calculated from the semi-empirical PM3 method.

文摘The halogen and hydrogen bonding complexes and trihalomethanes (CHX3, X=C1, Br, I) are between 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-noxyl simulated by computational quantum chem- istry. The molecular electrostatic potentials, geometrical parameters and interaction energy of halogen and hydrogen bonding complexes combined with natural bond orbital analysis are obtained. The results indicate that both halogen and hydrogen bonding interactions obey the order CI〈Br〈I, and hydrogen bonding is stronger than the corresponding halogen bond- ing. So, hydrogen bonding complexes should be dominant in trihalomethanes. However, it is possible that halogen bonding complex is competitive, even preponderant, in triiodomethane due to the similar interaction energy. This work might provide useful information on specific solvent effects as well as for understanding the mechanism of nitroxide radicals as a bioprobe to interact with the halogenated compounds in biological and biochemical fields.

文摘In this paper we take photobacterium phosphoreum (T3) as the experimental bacteria, and determine the half-inhibitory concentration (-1gEC50) against the photobacterium phosphoreum of 16 halogenated benzenes. Using B3LYP method of DFT in the Gaussian 03 program, we obtain the structural and thermodynamic descriptors of 16 halogenated benzenes by fully-optimized calculation at the 6-311G** level. Taking the structural and thermodynamic descriptors as theoretical descriptors, the 2D QSAR model (R2 = 0.983) was established, which can be utilized to predict -lgEC50 of halogenated benzene according to the corrected linear solvation energy theory based on the experimental data of-lgECs0. In addition, the relationship between the toxicity and 3D spatial structure of the compound is studied by comparing the molecular similarity index analysis (CoMSIA) of 3D-QSAR method. By cross validation, the correlation coefficient q2 of CoMSIA model is 0.687, and the conventional correlation coefficient R2 = 0.958. The model is stable and reliable with great predictive ability. The 3D-QSAR model shows that the toxicity of halogenated benzene compound is mainly affected by the characteristics of hydrophobie field of the substituted halogens.

文摘This study investigated the speciation of halogen-specific total organic halogen and disinfection byproducts(DBPs) upon chlorination of natural organic matter(NOM) in the presence of iopamidol and bromide(Br^-).Experiments were conducted with low bromide source waters with different NOM characteristics from Northeast Ohio,USA and varied spiked levels of bromide(2-30 μmol/L) and iopamidol(1-5 μmol/L).Iopamidol was found to be a direct precursor to trihalomethane(THM) and haloacetic acid formation,and in the presence of Br^-favored brominated analogs.The concentration and speciation of DBPs formed were impacted by iopamidol and bromide concentrations,as well as the presence of NOM.As iopamidol increased the concentration of iodinated DBPs(iodo-DBPs) and THMs increased.However,as Br^-concentrations increased,the concentrations of nonbrominated iodo-and chloro-DBPs decreased while brominated-DBPs increased.Regardless of the concentration of either iopamidol or bromide,bromochloroiodomethane(CHBrClI) was the most predominant iodo-DBP formed except at the lowest bromide concentration studied.At relevant concentrations of iopamidol(1 μmol/L) and bromide(2 μmol/L),significant quantities of highly toxic iodinated and brominated DBPs were formed.However,the rapid oxidation and incorporation of bromide appear to inhibit iodoDBP formation under conditions relevant to drinking water treatment.

文摘Recent theoretical predictions and experimental findings on the transport properties of n-type SnTe have triggered extensive researches on this simple binary compound,despite the realization of n-type SnTe being a great challenge.Herein,Cl as a donor dopant can effectively regulate the position of Fermi level in Sn_(0.6)Pb_(0.4)Te matrix and successfully achieve the n-type transport behavior in SnTe.An outstanding power factor of~14.7μW·cm^(-1)·K^(-2) at 300 K was obtained for Cl-doped Sn_(0.6)Pb_(0.4)Te sample.By combining the experimental analysis with theoretical calculations,the transport properties of n-type SnTe thermoelectrics doped with different halogen dopants(Cl,Br,and I)were then systematically investigated and estimated.The results demonstrated that Br and I had better doping efficiencies compared with Cl,which contributed to the well-optimized carrier concentrations of~1.03×10^(19)and~1.11×10^(19)cm^(-3)at 300 K,respectively.The improved n-type carrier concentrations effectively lead to the significant enhancement on the thermoelectric performance of n-type SnTe.Our study further promoted the experimental progress and deep interpretation of the transport features in n-type SnTe thermoelectrics.The present results could also be crucial for the development of n-type counterparts for SnTe-based thermoelectric devices.
