Article Abstract

The H-donating activity of phenol and the H-abstraction activity of phenol radicals have been extensively studied. In this article, the second-order rate constants of 25 hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions between phenols and PINO and DPPH radicals in acetonitrile at 298 K were studied. Thermo-kinetic parameters Δ (XH) were obtained using a kinetic equation [Δ = Δ (XH) + Δ (Y)]. Bond dissociation free energies Δ (XH) were calculated by the iBonD HM method, whose details are available at https://pka.luoszgroup.com/bde_prediction. Intrinsic resistance energies Δ and Δ (X) were determined as Δ (XH) and Δ (XH) were available. Δ (XH), Δ , Δ (XH) and Δ (X) were used to assess the H-donating abilities of the studied phenols and the H-abstraction abilities of phenol radicals in thermodynamics, kinetics and actual HAT reactions. The effect of structures on these four parameters was discussed. The reliabilities of Δ (XH) and Δ (X) were examined. The difference between the method of determining Δ mentioned in this study and the dynamic nuclear magnetic method mentioned in the literature was studied. this study, not only Δ (XH), Δ , Δ (XH) and Δ (X) of phenols could be quantitatively evaluated, but also the structure-activity relationship of phenols is clearly demonstrated. Moreover, it lays the foundation for designing and synthesizing more antioxidants and radicals.

Laser Synthesis of Platinum Single-Atom Catalysts for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

Platinum (Pt)-based heterogeneous catalysts show excellent performance for the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER); however, the high cost and earth paucity of Pt means that efforts are being directed to reducing Pt usage, whilst maximizing catalytic efficiency. In this work, a two-step laser annealing process was employed to synthesize Pt single-atom catalysts (SACs) on a MOF-derived carbon substrate. The laser irradiation of a metal-organic framework (MOF) film (ZIF67@ZIF8 composite) by rapid scanning of a ns pulsed infrared (IR; 1064 nm) laser across the freeze-dried MOF resulted in a metal-loaded graphitized film.
