  • Publication number: 20180022717
    Abstract: A method of forming a molecular complex. The method proceeds by reacting 5-chloro-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole with N-bromosuccinimide to produce 4,7-dibromo-5-chlorobenzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole. 4,7-dibromo-5-chlorobenzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole is then reacted with trimethyl[4-(2-octyldodecyl)thiophen-2-yl]stannane to produce 5-chloro-4,7-bis(4-(2-octyldodecyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole. 4, 7-bis(5-bromo-4-(2-octyldodecyl)thiophen-2-yl)-5-chlorobenzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole is subsequently synthesized from 5-chloro-4,7-bis(4-(2-octyldodecyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole. 4,7-bis(5-bromo-4-(2-octyldodecyl)thiophen-2-yl)-5-chlorobenzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole with tributyl(thiophen-2-yl)stannane is then reacted to produce 4-bromo-5,6-difluoro-7-(thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole. This is followed by reacting 4,7-dibromo-5-chloro-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole with tributyl(thiophen-2-yl)stannane to produce 4-bromo-5-chloro-7-(thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole.

  • Publication number: 20180022720
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a titanium-containing silicon oxide material and an application of the same are disclosed. The method needn't use a template but directly use an amorphous silicon dioxide and a titanium source as the reactants. The reactants are mixed with a solvent and react in the solvent. The suspension generated by the reaction is processed by solid-liquid separation, flushing and drying to obtain a titanium-containing silicon oxide material. The method features a simplified fabrication process and a low fabrication cost. The titanium-containing silicon oxide material fabricated by the method has a superior catalytic activity, able to catalyze an epoxidation reaction of an olefin-group compound to generate an epoxide.
