A revised reaction mechanism of CF3I synthesis catalyzed by activated carbon is investigated with quantum chemistry methods using density functional theory (DFT). The adsorption configurations of possible intermediates are carefully examined. The reaction pathway and related transition states are also analyzed.

The synthesis and spectral characterization of a schiff base, 2-pyridinecarbaldehyde-p-phenylenedihydrazone (short for 2PC-PPH), were described. It was found that ferric ion (Fe(3+)) could selectively quench the fluorescence of 2PC-PPH, whereas many other metal ions, such as Mn(2+), Zn(2+), Cu(2+), K(+), Al(3+), Ca(2+), Ni(2+), Co(2+), Cr(3+) and Fe(2+), could not quench its fluorescence. Based on this, a sensitive method for ferric ion selective detection was established.
