Low molecular water-soluble chitosan was prepared by the depolymerization of chitosan in the presence of a series of catalysts with active W(O2) sites. Both the peroxo species [W2O3(O2)4]2- and {PO4[WO(O2)2]4}3- showed high efficiency in the degradation of chitosan, indicating that the degradation mechanism did not follow the radical mechanism. That means •OH is not the active species, which has been proven by the fluorescence spectra. H2O2 acted as an oxidant to regenerate the active W(O2) sites in the depolymerization of chitosan. The developed catalyst (TBA)3{PO4[WO(O2)2]4} is recoverable.
低分子水溶性壳聚糖是在一系列具有活性W(O₂)位点的催化剂存在下,通过壳聚糖的解聚反应制备而成。过氧物种[W₂O₃(O₂)₄]²⁻和{PO₄[WO(O₂)₂]₄}³⁻在壳聚糖降解中均表现出高效性,这表明降解机制并非遵循自由基机制。这意味着•OH不是活性物种,荧光光谱已证实了这一点。在壳聚糖解聚过程中,H₂O₂作为氧化剂用于再生活性W(O₂)位点。所开发的催化剂(TBA)₃{PO₄[WO(O₂)₂]₄}是可回收的。
