Initial quantum levels of captured muons in CO,CO2, and COS

The role of valence electrons for the muon capture process by molecules is experimentally investigated with the aid of cascade calculations. Low-momentum muons are introduced to gas targets of CO, CO₂, and COS below atmospheric pressure. The initial states of captured muons are determined from the measured muonic X-ray structure of the Lyman and Balmer series. We propose that the lone pair electrons in the carbon atom of CO significantly contribute to the capture of a muon with large angular momenta.

     

Single-atom catalysts for CO oxidation,CO2 reduction,and O2 electrochemistry

CO_x(x=1,2)and O₂ chemistry play key roles in tackling global severe environmental challenges and energy issues.To date,the efficient selective electrocatalytic transformations of COx-carbon chemicals,and O₂-hydrogenated products are still huge challenges.Single-atom catalysts(SACs)as atomic-scale novel catalysts in which only isolated metal atoms are dispersed on supports shed new insights in overcome these obstacles in CO_x and O₂ chemistry,including CO oxidation,CO₂ reduction reaction(CO₂RR),oxygen reduction reaction(ORR),and oxygen evolution reaction(OER).In this review,the unique features and advanced synthesis strategies of SACs from a viewpoint of fundamental synthesis design are first highlighted to guide future strategy design for controllable SAC synthesis.Then,the to-date reported CO₂RR,CO oxidation,OER,and ORR mechanism are included and summarized.More importantly,the design principles and design strategies of improving the intrinsic activity,selectivity,and stability are extensively discussed and the engineering strategy is classified as neighbor coordination engineering,metal-atom engineering,and substrate engineering.Via the comprehensive review and summary of state-of-the-art SACs,the synthesis–structure–property–mechanism–design principle relation can be revealed to shed lights into the structural construction of SACs.Finally,we present an outlook on current challenges and future directions for SACs in CO_x and O₂ chemistry.     

Thermodynamics and kinetics of CO2, CO, and H+ binding to the metal centre of CO2 reduction catalysts

In our developing world, carbon dioxide has become one of the most abundant greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It is a stable, inert, small molecule that continues to present significant challenges toward its chemical activation as a useful carbon end product. This tutorial review describes one approach to the reduction of carbon dioxide to carbon fuels, using cobalt and nickel molecular catalysts, with particular focus on studying the thermodynamics and kinetics of CO(2) binding to metal catalytic sites.     

Dipole oscillator strength distributions,sums, and dispersion energy coefficients for CO and CO2

Globally reliable dipole oscillator strength distributions (DOSDs) have been constructed for ground state CO and CO₂ molecules; the DOSD for CO corresponds to photon energies greater than the electronic absorption threshold while that for CO₂ includes the infrared part of the spectra as well. The recommended DOSDs are used to evaluate the isotropic dipole—dipole dispersion energies for the COCO, COCO2 and CO2CO2 interactions as well as the molar refractivities, as a function of wavelength, and the dipole sums, S_k, k = 2(?1) -4, -6, -8, -10, for the two molecules. Pseudo-DOSD representations of the recommended DOSDs are provided which allow the efficient accurate evaluation of the dispersion energy coefficients C₆ for the interaction of CO or CO₂ with a variety of other atoms and molecules. Previous results for C₆ are found to be in disagreement with our recommended results for interactions involving CO₂. The results of this paper are used to give a reasonably general discussion of the difficulties associated with obtaining reliable results for C₆ by using Padé approximant bounding methods.     

Activation and desoxygenation of CO, CO2, and SO2 with sulfur-rich azide and amide

The azide and amide complexes (NBu4)[Ni(N3)('S3')] (2) and (NBu4)[Ni[N(SiMe3)2]('S3')] (4) were found to react with CO, CO2, and SO2 under very mild conditions at temperatures down to -50 degrees C. Depending on the N oxidation state of the nitrogen ligands, addition or partial to complete desoxygenation of the oxides takes place. The reaction between 2 and CO gives (NBU4)[Ni(NCO)('S3')] (3). The reactions between 4 and CO, CO2, and SO2 afford selectively the cyano, isocyanato, and sulfinylimido complexes (NBu4)[Ni(X)('S3')] with X = CN- (5), NCO- (3), and NSO- (6). The silyl groups act as oxygen acceptors. Mechanisms are suggested which have in common the formation of reactive five-coordinate (NBu4)[Ni(L)(L')('S3')] intermediates. In these reactions, highly activated L and L' react with each other. The complexes were characterized by standard methods, and (NBu4)[Ni(CN)('S3')] (5) was also analyzed by X-ray crystallography.     

Interaction of O2, CO and CO2 with Co films

Metastable impact electron spectroscopy (MIES), ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS(HeI)) and x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were applied to study the interaction of O₂, CO and CO₂ with Co films at room temperature. The films were produced on Si(100) surfaces under the in situ control of MIES, UPS and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). For O₂, dissociative adsorption takes place initially and then incorporation of oxygen starts at exposures of ～5 L. Comparison of the MIES and UPS spectra with those published for CoO shows that near‐stoichiometric CoO films can be obtained by co‐deposition of Co and O₂. The CO is adsorbed molecularly up to a maximum coverage of ～0.6 monolayer, with the C‐end pointing towards the surface. The CO₂ adsorption is dissociative, resulting in the formation of Co–CO bonds at the surface. The resulting oxygen atoms are mostly incorporated into the Co layer. For all studied molecules the interaction with Co is similar to that with Ni. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Factors stabilizing the paramagnetic radicals CO 2 - , CO 3 - , and CO 3 3- in natural carbonated apatites

Carbon radicals in natural magmatic, sedimentary, biological, and synthetic carbonated apatites are studied by ESR. The thermal and radiation behavior of the radicals is studied. The effect of composition on spectrum intensity and the ratio of radicals on their stabilization in a matrix are investigated; this made it possible to establish two positions and two forms of carbon as well as two variants of its location in the structure: in the form of CO ₃ ^2- on the PO ₄ ^3- site, in the form of CO₂ on the surface, as a complex with structurally bound water and without it It is established that bound water in molecular form H₂O affects the observed ESR spectra, the dynamic characteristics of carbonate radicals, and their quantitative relations.

Relaxation, incubation, and dissociation in CO2

The dissociation and relaxation of CO2 has been reexamined in the incident shock wave with the laser-schlieren technique. These new experiments covered 1377-6478 K, and 42-750 Torr, and improvements partly described herein have permitted accurate determination of both rate and incubation time. In general the steady rate measurements are in agreement with other recent determinations. The one anomaly is that the new rates are not fully second order; they vary about 50% over 70-600 Torr. This unexpected feature is actually quite consistent with the recent literature, which shows a similar trend. However, attempts to produce this result with RRKM calculations were unsuccessful. Relaxation times are in agreement with available literature, and incubation time to relaxation time ratios lie between 1.5 and 3 over 4000-6600 K, consistent with findings for other molecules. These ratios are much smaller than those recently derived from reflected-shock experiments by Oehlschlaeger et al. (Z. Phys. Chem. 2005, 219, 555). A simple argument suggests such large values are indeed anomalous, although why they are too large is not clear.

Primary, secondary, and tertiary amines for CO2 capture: designing for mesoporous CO2 adsorbents

CO(2) emissions, from fossil-fuel-burning power plants, the breathing, etc., influence the global worming on large scale and the man's work efficiency on small scale. The reversible capture of CO(2) is a prominent feature of CO(2) organic-inorganic hybrid adsorbent to sequester CO(2). Herein, (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (APTMS), [3-(methylamino)propyl] trimethoxysilane (MAPTMS), and [3-(diethylamino) propyl] trimethoxysilane (DEAPTMS) are immobilized on highly ordered mesoporous silicas (SBA-15) to catch CO(2) as primary, secondary, and tertiary aminosilica adsorbents. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to analyze the immobilized APTMS, MAPTMS, and DEAPTMS on the SBA-15. We report an interesting discovery that the CO(2) adsorption and desorption on the adsorbent depend on the amine type of the aminosilica adsorbent. The adsorbed CO(2) was easily desorbed from the adsorbent with the low energy consumption in the order of tertiary, secondary, and primary amino-adsorbents while the adsorption amount and the bonding-affinity increased in the reverse order. The effectiveness of amino-functionalized (1(o), 2(o), and 3(o) amines) SBA-15s as a CO(2) capturing agent was investigated in terms of adsorption capacity, adsorption-desorption kinetics, and thermodynamics. This work demonstrates apt amine types to catch CO(2) and regenerate the adsorbent, which may open new avenues to designing "CO(2) basket".

Photocatalytic Oxidation of CO on TiO2: Chemisorption of O2, CO,and H2

On the surface : Adsorption of O₂ at the surface oxygen vacancy (SOV) sites of TiO₂ reconstructs the lattice oxygen (healing SOVs), resulting in a decrease of the photocatalytic activity of oxidizing CO over vacuum‐pretreated TiO₂ with increasing temperature (see scheme). Adsorption of H₂ produces new SOVs at the TiO₂ surface and stabilizes the photocatalytic activity.

High level ab initio and density functional theory calculations of the dissociation energies,ionization energies,geometrical variations,and vibrational modes of ground and excited CO2, CO2+, and CO22+

The potential energy surface of CO₂²⁺ ( ³Σ_g^?) is investigated with HF, MP2, MP4, CBS‐Q, G1, G2MP2, G2, G3B3, and B3LYP/6‐311++G(3df,3pd) methods. Density functional theory shows the lowest dissociation channel of this compound to be the formation of CO⁺ ( ²Σ⁺)+O⁺ ( ⁴S_u) and to have a barrier of around 2 eV as well as a dissociation energy of around ?3.2 eV. Thus we propose that with enough correlation it is possible to accurately predict the energies of dissociation and barrier widths and heights to test for the stability of a particular molecular species. We also propose a refinement of current understanding by observing HOMO–LUMO gaps, Lowdin and Mulliken bond orders (to test for bond orbital overlap and hence qualitatively describe bonding and fragmentation in these complexes) and predicted spectrum for such studies as ZEKE spectroscopy (to study cationic states) and REMPI (to study the first excited states) of these class of molecules and, we hope, provide future insight into larger and more interesting systems. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
