Adsorption and reaction of cyclohexene on a Ni(111) surface

We studied the adsorption and reaction of cyclohexene (C6H10) on Ni(111) at different temperatures with high-resolution in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HR-XPS). For exposure at 125 K, we find intact cyclohexene with two distinct C 1s signals at 283.3 and 284.2 eV, due to the nonequivalent carbon atoms in the molecule. The energetic separation is significantly increased relative to the gas-phase value, due to the interaction with the substrate. Upon exposure at 210 K, complete dehydrogenation of cyclohexene to benzene (C6H6) and hydrogen is observed; coverage-dependent changes of the benzene adsorption site occur in a way similar to those for pure benzene layers, which indicates a phase separation in benzene and hydrogen islands. The thermal evolution of the adsorbed layers was studied by temperature-programmed (TP-) XPS and temperature-programmed desorption spectroscopy (TPD). Upon heating, the benzene + hydrogen layer formed at 210 K shows a coverage-dependent reorientation of the benzene molecules during partial desorption. The cyclohexene layer adsorbed at 125 K only shows partial conversion of cyclohexene to benzene and hydrogen upon heating to 185 or 210 K, with the remaining cyclohexene being stable up to approximately 300 K. We propose that upon heating these molecules are stabilized by coadsorbed benzene and hydrogen; furthermore, the mobility of benzene and hydrogen in this coadsorbed layer is reduced, so that no phase separation can occur.

One pot synthesis of N-ethylaniline from nitrobenzene and ethanol

A novel method for the one pot synthesis of N-alkyl arylamines from nitro aromatic compounds and alcohols is proposed through the combination of the aqueous-phase reforming of alcohol for hydrogen production, the reduction of nitro aromatic compounds for the synthesis of aromatic amine and the N-alkylation of aromatic amine for the production of N-alkyl arylamine over an identical catalyst under the same conditions of temperature and pressure in a single reactor. In this process, hydrogen generated from the aqueous-phase reforming of alcohols was used in-situ for the hydrogenation of nitro aromatic compounds for aromatic amine synthesis, followed by N-alkylation of aromatic amine with alcohols to form the corresponding N-alkyl arylamines at a low partial pressure of hydrogen. For the system composed of nitrobenzene and ethanol, under the conditions of 413 K and PN2 = 1 MPa, the conversion degrees of nitrobenzene and aniline were 100%, the selectivity to N-ethylaniline and N, N-diethylaniline were 85.9% and 0%-4%, respectivity, after reaction for 8 h at the volumetric ratio of nitrobenzene:ethanol:water = 10:60:0. The selectivity for N, N-diethylaniline production is much lower than that through the traditional method. In this process, hydrogen and aromatic amines generated from the aqueous-phase reforming of alcohols and hydrogenation of nitro aromatic compounds, respectively, could be promptly removed from the surface of the catalyst due to the occurrence of in-situ hydrogenation and N-alkylation reactions. Thus, this may be a potential approach to increase the selectivity to N-alkyl arylamine.

Effect of substitution of Fe3+ in CuCr2O4 matrix for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene

The hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline over reduced Cu(Fe_xCr_2–x)O₄ series of catalysts (where x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0) has been studied at 250°C in a fixed bed flow type reactor. All the catalysts were characterized by XRD, IR and DRS analysis and by measurements of electrical conductivity and surface area. The conversion of nitrobenzene to aniline is maximum over the catalysts with composition x=0.4. By comparing the results of reversible and irreversible adsorption of carbon monoxide with hydrogenation activity, it can be concluded that univalent copper at octahedral sites is more active for hydrogenation than metallic copper. The second cations [Cr(III) or Fe(III)] develop their catalytic activity by sharing anionic vacancies.     

In situ infrared monitoring of the solid/liquid catalyst interface during the three-phase hydrogenation of nitrobenzene over nanosized Au on TiO2

The three-phase hydrogenation of nitrobenzene catalysed by nanosized gold over titania was investigated in a slurry. Simultaneous in situ ATR-FTIR monitoring of the liquid phase and at the solid/liquid catalyst interface identified the species adsorbed on the catalyst and those in the liquid phase during the reaction. Nitrosobenzene was not detected analytically while the spectroscopic measurements strongly indicated phenylhydroxylamine as an intermediate reacting before desorbing from the catalyst surface. Under the same reaction conditions, azobenzene and hydrazobenzene were identified as intermediates during the hydrogenation of azoxybenzene to aniline. When nitrosobenzene or phenylhydroxylamine was alternately fed as reactant, azoxybenzene was produced via a disproportionation route. With the former, azoxybenzene was not further reduced by hydrogen because nitrosobenzene deactivated the catalyst. Combined with H(2) uptake, the spectroscopic measurements provided new insights into the reaction mechanism of the gold catalysed hydrogenation of nitrobenzene and an update of the corresponding kinetics.     

Reaction of hydrogen gas with C60 at elevated pressure and temperature: hydrogenation and cage fragmentation

Products of the reaction of C(60) with H(2) gas have been monitored by high-resolution atmospheric pressure photoionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (APPI FT-ICR MS), X-ray diffraction, and IR spectroscopy as a function of hydrogenation period. Samples were synthesized at 673 K and 120 bar hydrogen pressure for hydrogenation periods between 300 and 5000 min, resulting in the formation of hydrofullerene mixtures with hydrogen content ranging from 1.6 to 5.3 wt %. Highly reduced C(60)H(x) (x > 36-40) and products of their fragmentation were identified in these samples by APPI FT-ICR MS. A sharp change in structure was observed for samples with at least 5.0 wt % of hydrogen. Low-mass (300-500 Da) hydrogenation products not observed by prior field desorption (FD) FT-ICR MS were detected by APPI FT-ICR MS and their elemental compositions obtained for the first time. Synthetic and analytical fragmentation pathways are discussed.     

Modified lithium borohydrides for reversible hydrogen storage

In an attempt to develop lithium borohydrides as reversible hydrogen storage materials with high hydrogen storage capacities, the feasibility of reducing the dehydrogenation temperature of the lithium borohydride and moderating rehydrogenation conditions was explored. The lithium borohydride was modified by ball milling with metal oxides and metal chlorides as additives. The modified lithium borohydrides released 9 wt % hydrogen starting from 473 K. The dehydrided modified lithium borohydrides absorbed 7-9 wt % hydrogen at 873 K and 7 MPa. The modification with additives reduced the dehydriding starting temperature from 673 to 473 K and moderated the rehydrogenation conditions from 923 K/15 MPa to 873 K/7 MPa. XRD and SEM analysis revealed the formation of an intermediate compound that might play a key role in changing the reaction path, resulting in the lower dehydriding temperature and reversibility. The reversible hydrogen storage capacity of the oxide-modified lithium borohydrides decreased gradually during hydriding/dehydriding cycling. One of the possible reasons for this effect might be the loss of boron during dehydrogenation, but this can be prevented by changing the dehydriding path using appropriate additives. The additives reduced the dehydriding temperature and improved the reversibility, but they also reduced the hydrogen storage capacity. The best compromise can be reached by selecting appropriate additives, optimizing the additive loading, and using new synthesis processes other than ball milling.

Synthesis of imines from nitrobenzene and TiO2 particles suspended in alcohols via semiconductor photocatalysis type B

UV irradiation on a non-aqueous suspension of titanium dioxide with nitrobenzene and different alcohols in deaerated conditions produces imines and aniline as main products. The conversion of nitrobenzene and the corresponding selectivity of imines or aniline depend on the type of alcohol used. A low conversion (3-12%) and selectivity close to 100% to imines were obtained with methyl, ethyl, or propyl alcohol. Otherwise, using i-propanol only aniline was detected with a conversion of 13%. Finally, a mixture of aniline and imines was formed employing n-butyl, n-amyl, and i-amyl alcohols with the higher conversion (∼50%).

Energetics of cyclohexene adsorption and reaction on Pt(111) by low-temperature microcalorimetry

The heat of adsorption and sticking probability of cyclohexene on Pt(111) were measured as a function of coverage using single-crystal adsorption calorimetry in the temperature range from 100 to 300 K. At 100 K, cyclohexene adsorbs as intact di-sigma bonded cyclohexene on Pt(111), and the heat of adsorption is well described by a second-order polynomial (130 - 47 theta - 1250 theta(2)) kJ/mol, yielding a standard enthalpy of formation of di-sigma bonded cyclohexene on Pt(111) at low coverages of -135 kJ/mol and a C-Pt sigma bond strength of 205 kJ/mol. At 281 K, cyclohexene dehydrogenates upon adsorption, forming adsorbed 2-cyclohexenyl (c-C6H(9,a)) and adsorbed hydrogen, and the heat of adsorption is well described by another second-order polynomial (174 - 700 theta + 761 theta(2)) kJ/mol. This yields a standard enthalpy of formation of adsorbed 2-cyclohexenyl on Pt(111) at a low coverage of -143 kJ/mol. At coverages below 0.10 ML, the sticking probability of cyclohexene on Pt(111) is close to unity (>0.95), independent of temperature.     

Electrochemically controlled hydrogen bonding. Nitrobenzenes as simple redox-dependent receptors for arylureas

Reduction of nitrobenzene derivatives in the presence of arylureas in aprotic solvents results in large positive shifts in potential of the nitrobenzene(0/)(-) cyclic voltammetry wave with little change in wave shape. This behavior is indicative of reversible hydrogen bonding between nitrobenzene radical anions and arylureas. Computer fitting of the cyclic voltammetry of 4-nitroaniline, NA, plus 1,3-diphenylurea in DMF shows essentially no binding between urea and NA in the oxidized state (K(ox) < 1 M(-)(1)), but very strong binding in the reduced state (K(red) = 8 x 10(4) M(-)(1)), along with very rapid rates of hydrogen bond formation (k(f)'s approximately 10(8)-10(10) M(-)(1) s(-)(1)), making this system a fast on/off redox switch.
