A novel family of bio-nanocomposites was mechanochemically synthesized by using niobium oxide and enzymatically produced polysaccharides. The structural, textural and surface properties of nanomaterials, were determined by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption-desorption (N_2 porosimetry), pulse chromatography, infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Selective oxidation of isoeugenol to vanillin was carried out to demonstrate the catalytic activity of the Nb-polysaccharides nanocomposites. Interestingly, most of our material showed high conversion of isoeugenol (60–70%) with selectivity to vanillin over 40%. The optimum conversion and selectivity were achieved with a reaction time between 8 and 24 h.

    Todd Martinez David Mulvane Ehrsam and Edward Curtis Franklin Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Photon Science CONTACT INFORMATION • Administrative Contact Maggie Yeung - Administrative Associate Email [email protected] Tel (650) 724-7306 Bio BIO Theoretical chemist Todd Martínez develops and applies new methods that predict and explain how atoms move in molecules. These methods are used both to design new molecules and to understand the behavior of those that already exist. His research group studies the response of molecules to light (photochemistry) and external force (mechanochemistry). Photochemistry is a critical part of human vision, single-molecule spectroscopy, harnessing solar energy (either to make fuels or electricity), and even organic synthesis. Mechanochemistry represents a novel scheme to promote unusual reactions and potentially to create self-healing materials that resist degradation. The underlying tools embody the full gamut of quantum mechanical effects governing molecules, from chemical bond breaking/formation to electron/ proton transfer and electronic excited states. Professor Martínez was born in Amityville, New York, but spent most of his childhood in Central America and the Caribbean. His chemical curiosity benefitted tremendously from the relaxed safety standards in Central American chemical supply houses, giving him unfettered access to strong acids and bases. When he also became interested in computation, limited or nonexistent computer access forced him to write and debug computer programs on paper. Today, Prof. Martínez combines these interests by working toward theoretical and computational modeling and design of molecules. Martínez received his PhD in chemistry from UCLA in 1994. After postdoctoral study at UCLA and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, he joined the faculty at the University of Illinois in 1996.

Rev., 2013, Laszlo Takacs* 42, 7649 This paper reviews the history of mechanochemistry. It begins with prehistoric times, when reactions could be initiated during grinding and rubbing accidentally, and follows the main developments until recent results and current trends. There are very few records on mechanochemistry until the first systematic investigations by Spring and Lea at the end of the 19th century. For the next decades, mechanochemistry developed slowly; minerals, inorganic compounds, and polymers were the main subjects of investigation. The area became more organized in the 1960s, when several large groups were established and the first dedicated conferences were held. Mechanical alloying was invented in 1966 independently and it became a subject of intense research. Interaction between the two topics was established in the 1990s. In recent years, the mechanochemical synthesis of organic compounds was added to the main subjects and the invention of the atomic force microscope provided new ways to manipulate atoms and molecules by direct mechanical action. The theoretical explanation of mechanochemical phenomena is difficult, as the mechanism is system specific and several length and Received 28th October 2012 time scales are involved.

  • Mechanical Activation of Solids in Extractive Metallurgy
    MECHANICAL ACTIVATION OF SOLIDS IN EXTRACTIVE METALLURGY SANJAY KUMAR*, T. C. ALEX AND RAKESH KUMAR *E mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Mechanochemistry is the branch of chemistry that has primarily evolved in the twentieth century. It deals with the field of reactions caused by mechanical energy, often referred to as Mechanical or Mechanochemical Activation [1-3]. The process of activation depends on the breakage process and the rate at which energy is supplied to the system [1-3]. In contrast to coarse grinding, where the objective is size reduction, mechanical activation is concerned with structural changes that are brought about by application of mechanical energy. Fine grinding is an intermediate case between coarse grinding and mechanical activation [1-3]. Mechanical activation has been attempted in a variety of disciplines, such as extractive metallurgy, waste utilisation, mechanical alloying, advanced ceramics, catalysis, coal gasification, paints and dyes, fertilizers, drugs and pharmaceuticals, organometallic synthesis, and many others. The changes occurring in solids during the course of mechanical activation are listed below: (a) Milling of the particles to a very small size (b) Generation of large new surfaces. (c) Formation of dislocations and point defects in the crystalline structure. (d) Phase transformations in polymorphic materials. (e) Chemical reactions: decomposition, ionic exchange, oxidation-reduction, complex and adduct formation, etc. As mentioned earlier, mechanochemistry, as a discipline, has evolved in 20th Century and its definition and scope has expanded with time. We have summarized the historical evolution of mechanochemistry in Table 1.

  • General Approach to Mechanochemistry and Its Relation to Tribochemistry
    Chapter 11 General Approach to Mechanochemistry and Its Relation to Tribochemistry Czesław Kajdas Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/50507 1. Introduction 1.1. Compact information on the considered disciplines Mechanochemistry and tribochemistry disciplines are of particular importance for fundamental research and tribology engineering practice. They relate to specific coupling of physical and chemical phenomena leading to initiation of heterogeneous chemical reactions due to mechanical action. Chemical reactions in solids initiated by mechanical action had been considered for a long period of time [1]. From the viewpoint of terms, mechanochemistry and tribochemistry may be compared with terms: physical chemistry and chemical physics. In the latter term physics is first and chemistry second. In tribochemistry, friction (tribos) is the first. Since mechanics includes friction, tribochemistry should be included in mechanochemistry. Reviews on mechanochemistry [2,3] show Matthew Carey Lea as the first systematic researcher on the chemical effects of mechanical action. Mechanochemical reactions are clearly distinct from those of thermochemical ones. To initiate thermochemical reactions an adequate heat amount has to be supplied to overcome the activation energy. Mechanical interaction of a solid-solid enables chemical reactions to be initiated by lower activation energy than regular thermochemical reactions. Even a very high calculated ‘flash temperature’ is short-lived, thus, it rather cannot initiate chemical reactions by heat. Reference [4] demonstrates that high local temperatures generated by friction at the contacts between rubbing surfaces can evolve thermionic activity, likely to be short lived and random. These localized, dynamic regions of intense thermionic emission can act as catalytic sites for chemical activity.

Dutková Institute of Geotechnics, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Watsonova 45, Ko²ice, Slovakia In this review paper recent advances in chalcogene mechanochemistry are described. Three selected areas are being covered, i.e. metallurgy, materials science, and medicine. In extractive metallurgy, the processing of copper arsenic mineral enargite (Cu3AsS4) with the aim of its dearsenication and subsequent preparation of a new anticancer drug (Na3AsS4) and of copper in nanocrystalline state (≈ 20 nm) illustrate the non-traditional prospect of ore treatment. In material science, the new nanocrystalline semiconductors were synthesized mechanochemically, e.g. selenides of zinc and lead (ZnSe, PbSe) and bismuth sulphide (Bi2S3). Metal and chalcogene were applied as reaction precursors. In some cases, the amino acids (cystine, cysteine) were applied as sulphur precursor, in order to provide reactive sites on synthesized solid (PbS) for bioconjugation and to prevent agglomeration. The concept of nanomilling is described as a way to prepare eective substances for cancer treatment in medicine. In vitro activity of realgar (As4S4) as an example is described. In all three areas the focus is aimed also on industrial applications where suitable large-scale mills are described. The described examples represent the contemporary aim of mechanochemists to prepare substances with the desired properties in a reproducible way under easy- operating, environmentally friendly and essentially waste-free conditions.
