Effect of chlorine on the adsorption of oxygen on Cu and Ag surfaces

Based on XPS and UVPS studies, it is shown that oxygen is preferentially adsorbed molecularly in the singlet state on Cu and Ag surfaces containing presorbed chlorine. Adsorption of chlorine on Cu and Ag surfaces containing presorbed atomic oxygen causes a disappearance of the oxygen. Extended Hückel calculations predict the observed behaviour.     

Laser synthesis of palladium-alumina composite membranes for production of high purity hydrogen from gasification

This paper describes a special method of laser-based deposition to synthesize palladium-ceramic composite membranes. Thin film Pd was deposited on a ceramic substrate by Nd-YAG laser irradiation of coating precursor PdCl₂ on γ-alumina substrate. The parameters of the laser processing technique were optimized to synthesize metal-ceramic composite membranes. The physical and chemical characteristics of Pd coated γ-alumina membranes were studied and compared with various other alumina membranes referenced in the literature. Hydrogen permeation experiments were performed in a CO + CO₂ + CH₄ + H₂ environment under typical catalytic steam gasifier exit conditions. The Pd-ceramic composite showed good mechanical and thermal stability and resulted in a hydrogen permeability flux of about 0.061 mol/m² s. The activation energy of the Pd membrane was found to be 5.39 kJ/mol in a temperature range of 900-1300 °F.     

Friedel sum rule in the second born approximation

The condition on the impurity potential is derived using the second Born approximation for the phase shift occurring in the Friedel sum rule. The result distinguishes between the donor-and acceptor-type scattering centers.     

Temperature dependent exchange narrowing of line width in EPR on interacting donors in germanium and silicon

An expression has been derived for the temperature dependent exchange integral for a pair of interacting shallow donors substituted in a dielectric material. This has been achieved by taking into account the phonon induced mixing of excited orbital states with the ground orbital states of the impurity centres. The results have been used to explain the temperature narrowing of the EPR line width observed by some workers in phosphorus doped germanium at low temperatures. Good agreement between theory and experimental results seems to favour the proposed mechanism in preference to one of motional narrowing due to hopping.     

Utilization of cascade chemo-bio catalysis for the synthesis of R -1-phenylethyl acetate

Liquid phase tert-butylation of m-cresol was carried out using 12-tungstosilicic acid supported on neutral alumina by varying different parameters. The reaction has also been carried out by using calcined samples under optimized conditions. The present catalyst shows an excellent activity of 93.2%, conversion of 100% selectivity for the o-isomer, an important industrial product.     

Cascade enantioselective synthesis of γ-aryl-γ-butyrolactones with a delayed stereoselective step

Enantioselective synthesis of γ-aryl-γ-butyrolactones is achieved using (S)-1-phenylethylamine as a chiral auxiliary. The synthesis involves cascade formation-destruction-formation of the chiral centre with a delayed stereoselective step. The actual stereoselective step has been found to be intramolecular nucleophilic attack on a diastereotopic carbocation formed, thereby resulting in the formation of non-racemic γ-aryl-γ-butyrolactones.     

A facile and one-pot synthesis of N-Fmoc/Bsmoc/Boc/Z-protected ureidopeptides and peptidyl ureas employing diphenylphosphoryl azide [DPPA]

Diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) mediated one-pot synthesis of N^α-Fmoc/Bsmoc/Boc/Z-protected ureidopeptides and peptidyl ureas as well as phenyl/succinimidyl (N^α-urethane protected) methyl carbamates starting from N^α-protected amino acids is reported. The formation of an azide, its rearrangement and coupling with an amino component is accomplished in a sequence of one-pot operations. The protocol has incorporated urea linkages in a sterically hindered peptide.
