One of the major impediments to using electroorganic synthesis is the need for large amounts of a supporting electrolyte to ensure the passage of charge. Frequently this causes separation and waste problems. To address these issues, a polymeric ionic liquid-Super P carbon black composite has been formulated. The system enables electrolyses to be performed without adding an additional supporting electrolyte, and its efficient recovery and reuse. In addition, the ability of the composite to modify the electrode surface in situ leads to improved kinetics. A practical consequence is that one can decrease catalyst loading without sacrificing efficiency.

The triarylimidazoles (TAIs) constitute a promising class of organic electron transfer redox mediators that have been used to achieve indirect electrochemical C-H bonds activation and functionalization. Herein we report the diffusion and electron transfer rates for the oxidation of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol using TAI and compare its electrochemical behavior with that of tris(4-bromophenyl)amine (TBPA). The results contribute to our understanding of the electron transfer process of electrocatalytic oxidation using TAIs, and offer useful guidelines for their further development and use.

A series of N-hydroxytriazole-4-carboxamide derivatives were synthesized, and their potential HIV integrase inhibitory activities were evaluated.

An effective Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of electron-rich aromatics with N-vinylamides, induced by electrochemically in situ-generated TBPA radical cation, has been developed; the resulting adducts are produced in good to excellent yields. In the "ex-cell" type electrolysis, TBPA is transformed to its oxidized form in situ and subsequently employed as an electron transfer reagent to initiate a cationic chain reaction. An easily recoverable and reusable polymeric ionic liquid-carbon black (PIL-CB) composite was also utilized as a supporting electrolyte for the electrochemical generation of TBPA cation radical, without sacrificing efficiency or stability after four electrolyses. Cyclic voltammetry analysis and the results of control experiments demonstrate that the reaction of electron-rich aromatics and N-vinylamides occurs via a cationic chain reaction, which takes place though an oxidative activation of a C-H bond of electron-rich aromatics instead of oxidation of the N-vinylamide as previously assumed.

The rupture disasters occurred in more than 110 shafts in Eastern China in recent 23 years, and that caused a significant economic loss. The stress evolution in shaft is investigated by R/S method based on in-situ measured additional strain caused by ground drainage in present study. The results indicated that the R/S method predicts the variation of additional strain well. The Hurst index for additional strain lies in the range of 0.5~1 and the sequence is random walk with positive skew. In other hand, the positive skew of stress in shaft is less evident at the depth of 120 m. The research proposes guidance for prevention similar shaft rupture disaster is provided for similar shaft.
