Thermal decomposition of palladium-imidazole complexes

Two Pd-imidazole complexes have been synthesized following the reaction of PdCl₂ and imidazole at 12 and 14 metal ligand ratios. Elemental and thermogravimetric analytical data obtained from these compounds illustrate that they have the formulae Pd(IMDAH)₂Cl₂ · 4H₂O and Pd(IMDAH)₃Cl₂ (IMDAH = imidazole), respectively. The mechanism of thermal decomposition for these complexes in air involves initial dissociation of H₂O and IMDAH ligands in the 120–340 °C range, subsequent dissociation of the chloride atoms to form PdO in the 530–570 °C range, and finally formation of Pd metal at 820–840 °C.

Zusammenfassung In einer Reaktion von PdCl₂ mit Imidazol wurde bei einem metall-Ligandenverhältnis von 12 bzw. 14 zwei Pd-Imidazolkomplexe dargestellt. Auf Grund der Ergebnisse von Elementaranalyse und Thermogravimetrieuntersuchungen besitzen die Verbindungen die Formeln Pd(IMDAH)₂Cl₂·4H₂O bzw. Pd(IMDAH)₃Cl₂ (IMDAH=Imidazol). Der Mechanismus der thermischen Zersetzung dieser Komplexe in Luft umschliesst eine anfängliche Dissoziation (Abgabe von Wasser und IMDAH-Liganden) im Temperaturbereich 120–340 °C, gefolgt von der Bildung von PdO unter Abspaltung der Chloratome bei 530–570 °C sowie die letztendliche Bildung von metallischem Pd bei 820–840 °C.

Spectral dependence of photocatalytic CO oxidation on rutile

In the region of intrinsic rutile adsorption, CO oxidation follows a redox mechanism via the interaction of CO with O^– ion-radicals, and the photocatalytic activity is determined by the density of 2p states close to the top of the valence band.

The oxidation of ethanol on CuO, CuO/Al₂O₃ and Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts has been studied at various concentrations of alcohol, oxygen and water vapor in the reaction mixture. The reaction order and activation energies have been determined for both complete and partial oxidation processes. A consecutive oxidation scheme is suggested.

Hydrodemetallation and the promoter effect of vanadium compounds on a Co?Mo/Al2O3 hydrodesulfurization catalyst

The effect of the vanadium compounds [VO(phthalocyanine)], [VO(salen)] [salen=N,N-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminate)], petroporphyrins, and metal-free phthalocyanine on the hydrodesulfurization of thiophene over a Co/Mo/Al₂O₃ catalyst (350°C, 1 atm) is described. The compound [VO(salen)], which decomposes, acts as a promoter at low V (0.1–0.2 wt. %); the other compounds deactivate the catalyst, an effect which is due to the whole molecule binding to the catalyst in the same way as a nitrogen base.

Effect of carbon dioxide on the catalytic oxidation of ethylene over silver. Reaction rates and composition of adsorbed layer

It has been found that when the reaction is carried out at pressures of the reaction mixture ranging from 1 to 400 Pa, small surface coverages by adsorbed oxygen, carbonate groups and irreversibly adsorbed carbon-containing particles are obtained. Rate relaxations are due to the concentration variations of adsorbed oxygen and CO_3ads groups.

Kinetic and mechanistic studies on the oxidation of arginine and histidine by chloramine-T in hydrochloric acid medium

The oxidation of amino acids by chloramine-T (CAT) in HCl medium at 30°C indicates simultaneous catalysis by H⁺ and Cl^– ions in the HCl concentration range of 0.04–0.12 M. The reaction is first order with respect to concentrations [CAT], [H⁺] and [arginine], but zero order with respect to [histidine]. The rate depends also on Cl^– concentration following 0.7th order. At HCl concentrations >0.12 M, the rate equation is:w=k[CAT] [amino acid]^0.6 and is independent of the [Cl^–]. A suitable mechanism has been suggested.

Thermal effects of contamination,adsorbed water and annealing on the DTA of powdered quartz

During the grinding of quartz, water is adsorbed from the atmosphere, but this water gave no detectable thermal effect on DTA because it was evolved uniformly up to 1000°. However, in conjunction with an iron contaminant, the adsorbed water was involved in an oxidation reaction causing noticeable thermal effects for quartz powdered in a vibration mill constructed of steel parts. When powdered so finely that the - inversion peak at 573° had disappeared, annealing caused a partial redevelopment of the peak but recrystallization of disrupted quartz was too small an effect to give any detectable exothermic peak on DTA.

Zusammenfassung Während des Vermahlens von Quartz wird Wasser aus der Atmosphäre adsorbiert, jedoch ergab dieses Wasser keinen nachweisbaren thermischen Effekt in der DTA, da es bis zu 1000° gleichmässig freigesetzt wird. Im Zusammenhang mit einer Eisen-Verunreinigung wurde jedoch das adsorbierte Wasser in eine Oxidationsreaktion einbezogen, welche beim in einer aus Stahlteilen gefertigten Vibrationsmühle zerpulvertem Quartz nachweisbare thermische Effekte verursachten. Wenn so fein pulverisiert wurde, daß der --Inversions-Peak bei 573° verschwunden war, verursachte eine Wärmebehandlung eine teilweise Wiederentwicklung des Peaks, jedoch war die Rekristallisation des zerstörten Quartzes zu geringfügig um einen nachweisbaren exothermen Peak in der DTA-Kurve zu ergeben.

Résumé Lors du broyage du quartz, il se produit une adsorption de l'eau atmosphérique mais cette eau ne donne pas d'effet thermique décelable par ATD car elle se dégage régulièrement jusqu'à 1000°. Cependant, en présence de fer comme contaminant, l'eau adsorbée intervient dans une réaction d'oxydation qui donne des effets thermiques perceptibles dans le cas de quartz pulvérisé dans un vibrobroyeur en acier. Si le quartz est en poudre assez fine pour que le pic d'inversion - à 573° disparaisse, le recuit provoque la réapparition partielle du pic. La recristallisation du quartz est cependant trop faible pour donner un effet exothermique décelable par ATD.

Evidence of blockage of PtH offretite channels by platinum crystallites

The introduction of platinum in a protonic offretite causes a decrease of its activity for m-xylene isomerization and an increase of its constraint index. This is due to the blockage of the offretite channels by small platinum crystallites (<8 Å), as confirmed by the study of m-xylene adsorption.

Characterization of platinum-nickel catalysts by hydrogen-oxygen chemisorption

The use of hydrogen-oxygen titration method to characterize platinum-nickel supported catalysts has shown that the number of oxidized or reduced nickel layers is dependent on the atomic composition. This phenome non involves dynamic changes of the surface probably by a spillover mechanism. A surface reaction scheme based on a previous work is proposed to explain the experimental results.
