Gas phase hydrogenation of m-xylene on palladium catalysts

Gas phase hydrogenation of m-xylene on palladium supported catalysts was studied and compared with the hydrogenation of o-xylene. The modification in the stereoselectivity of palladium due to an increase in the acidity of the support is explained in terms of an increased residence time of the reactive species on the active surface, leading to a product composition closer to that predicted by thermodynamics.

Cobalt(III) dicarboxylato bis-ethylenediamine nitrates: Preparation and characterization by thermal analysis and other analytical methods

Compounds with the general formulacis ortrans-[Coen ₂ (RCOO)₂]NO₃ were prepared by modifications of known procedures; R was H, CH₃, C₂H₅ or C₃H₇, anden was ethylenediamine. The compounds were characterized by TLC and UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and their thermal behaviour was examined via TG and DTA, and via IR spectra on heated samples.The thermal stabilities are discussed in terms of the strengths of the bonds in the solids [1] and steric hindrance; the thermal decompositions are described with the aid of hypothesized intermediates and IR spectra.Reaction steps are identified and the thermal stability sequence is discussed: thecis compounds are less stable than the correspondingtrans compounds, due to the lower reticulation effect; the sequence of thecis compounds is the reverse of the sequence of carboxylate ion basicity, while the sequence displalyed by thetrans compounds can be interpreted in terms of solid lattice stabilization.

Zusammenfassung Unter Durchführung einiger Abänderungen des bekannten Verfahrens wurden Verbindungen der allgemeinen Formel conf-Co[en₂(RCOO)₂]NO₃ hergestellt. Der AlkylrestR war H, CH₃, C₂H₅, C₃H₇ unden war Ethylendiamin. Die Verbidungen mitconf=cis odertrans wurden mittels TLC und UV-Spektrophotometrie charakterisiert. Ihr thermisches Verhalten wurdeanhand von TG, DTA und IR-Spektren von erhitzten Proben untersucht. Die thermische Stabilität wurde untersucht und in Abhängigkeit von Bindungsstärke und sterischer Behinderung diskutirt; weiterhin wurden die thermischen Zersetzungen mit Hilfe angenommener Intermediäre und deren IR-Spektren beschrieben. Die Reaktionsschritte wurden identifiziert und eine Stabilitätsreihe aufgestellt und diskutiert: cis-Verbindungen erwiesen sich als instabiler als die entsprechenden trans-Verbindungen, was einem geringeren Vernetzungseffekt zuzuschreiben ist; Die Reihenfolge folgt im Falle voncis dem Reziproken der Carboxylationenbasizität, während die Reihenfolge im Falle vontrans mittels der Gitterstabilisierung erklärt werden kann.

Kinetic model and mechanism for selective hydrogenation of acetylene alcohols

A complex approach to the development of kinetic models in terms of the joint kinetic and physicochemical methods is suggested. To establish kinetic models for the hydrogenation of C₅, C₁₅ and C₂₀ acetylene alcohols on a modified Pd/Al₂O₃ (0.5% Pd) catalyst, the kinetics of their selective hydrogenation and the adsorption of their components have been studied.

Kinetics of perborate oxidation of quinol

The perborate oxidation of quinol in aqueous acetic acid is first order with respect to perborate, zero order with respect to quinol, and first order with respect to H⁺. The oxidation is faster than H₂O₂ oxidation. Breakdown of protonated perboric acid is suggested as the rate-limiting step.

Über die SystemeABr/VBr2 (A=Na-Cs,Tl) [1]

Zusammenfassung Die Systeme ABr/VBr₂(A= Na, K, Tl, Rb, Cs) wurden mit der Differenzthermoanalyse untersucht. Das System mit NaBr ist rein eutektisch, in den übrigen Systemen existieren VerbindungenAVBr₃. Sie kristallisieren im CsNiCl₃-Typ: Säulen flächenverknüpfter Oktaeder werden durch die Alkaliionen zusammengehalten. Dies bedingt durch antiferromagnetische Kopplung reduzierte magnetische Momente. Das Fehlen von Verbindungen mit tetraedrisch koordiniertem V²⁺ wird mit der site-preference-energy der Ligandenfeldtheorie erklärt.

The systemsABr/VBr₂ (A= Na, K, Tl, Rb, Cs) were investigated by means of differential thermal analysis. The system with NaBr is purely eutectic, in all other systems a compoundAVBr₃ exists. The compounds crystallize with the CsNiCl₃-structure: columns of face-shared octahedra are held together by the alkali ions. This involves reduced magnetic moments (antiferromagnetism). The lack of compounds with tetrahedral coordination of the V²⁺-ion is explained by the site-preferenceenergy according to ligand field theory.

Le système contenant NaBr est purement eutectique; dans tous les autres systèmes, il existe un composéAVBr₃. Les composés cristallisent avec la structure CsNiCl₃: les colonnes d'octaèdres ayant des surfaces communes sont maintenues par les ions alcalins. Cela implique des moments magnétiques réduits (antiferromagnétisme). L'absence de composés a coordination tétraédrique de l'ion V²⁺ s'explique par l'énergie de site préférentielle d'après la théorie de champ de ligand.

Study of propylene adsorption and conversion on a gallium-molybdenum catalyst by IR spectroscopy and thermodesorption techniques

A study of propylene adsorption on gallium molybdate by IR spectroscopy and thermodesorption techniques has shown that propylene is adsorbed in reversible (-allyl) and irreversible (carboxyl, carbonate and formate) forms. The analysis of the spectra observed is supported by deuterated propylene adsorption. The conversion of the surface -allyl complexes into an Me–O–CH₂–CH=CH₂ type compound is followed.

On the dioximine complexes of transition metals

Twelve new complexes NH₄[Co(DH)₂(SO₃)(amine)]·t H₂O (DH ₂=dimethylglyoxime) have been synthesized and characterized. Their i.r. spectra show the SO₃ to be co-ordinated to the Co atom through the S atom. The thermal decompositions of a series of derivatives of this type have been investigated with a derivatograph. The first process is an endothermic dehydration reaction, occurring in a single stage or in two successive ones. The loss of the crystallization water is followed by another endothermic reaction, without a clear stoichiometry, which is referred to as deamination. At higher temperatures, exothermic pyrolysis processes occur. From the TG curves, kinetic parameters have been derived for the dehydration and deamination reactions.

Zusammenfassung Zwölf neue Komplexe der allgemeinen Formel NH₄[Co(DH)₂(SO₃)(amin)]·t H₂O (DH=Dimethylglyoxim) wurden synthetisiert und charakterisiert. Die IR-Spektren zeigen, daß SO₃ über das S-Atom koordinativ an das Co-Atom gebunden ist. Die thermische Zersetzung einer Reihe von Derivaten dieses Typs wurde mittels eines Derivatographen untersucht. Der erste Prozeß ist die in einem einzigen oder in zwei aufeinander folgenden Schritten verlaufende endotherme Dehydratisierung. Auf die Abgabe des Kristallwassers folgt eine andere endotherme Reaktion unklarer Stöchiometrie, die als Deaminierung bezeichnet wird. Bei höheren Temperaturen verlaufen exotherme Pyrolyseprozesse. Aus den TG-Kurven wurden kinetische Parameter für die Dehydratisierung und die Deaminierung bestimmt.

Monolayer vanadia on titania systems from alkoxide precursors. Part I. Physicochemical properties

The physicochemical properties of V⁵⁺ ion monolayers supported on anatase, rutile, and anatase-rutile mixed carrier, using vanadyl triisobutoxide as the precursor have been investigated. The coordination and reducibility of surface vanadyl species were found to depend strongly on carrier material and its calcination temperature. The supported monolayers exhibited completely different reduction behavior than bulk V₂O₅. The rutile supported catalyst was the most resistant for reduction.

Kinetic analysis of thermal dehydration and hydrolysis of MgCl2·6H2O by DTA and TG

The thermal decomposition of MgCl₂·6H₂O (non-dried and partly dried) and the kinetics of the process were studied by DTA, TG, DTG, IR, X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis of Mg and Cl. The reactions which occurred in the course of the thermal analysis were identified as dehydration (in steps), thermal hydrolysis of MgCl₂·H₂O and dehydrochloridization of magnesium hydroxy chlorides. Melting of the phases MgCl₂·6H₂O, MgCl₂·4H₂O and MgCl₂ was also identified in the thermal curves. Thermal weight loss continued up to 800 °C in flowing air or nitrogen, but only up to 700 °C in static air. MgO was the end-product of thermal treatment in both cases.The kinetic parameters of the reaction, the activation energyE, pre-exponential factorA and apparent order of reactionb, were computed by several methods. The activation energy and the apparent reaction order of dehydration were found to increase with decreasing hydration number of the Mg. The dehydrochloridization process had the highest activation energy.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von MgCl₂·6H₂O (nicht und teilweise getrocknet) und die Kinetik dieses Prozesses wurden mittels DTA, TG, DTG, IR, Röntgendiffraktometrie und chemischer Analyse von Mg und Cl untersucht. Die im Verlaufe der thermischen Analyse vor sich gehenden Reaktionen sind Dehydratisierung (in Schritten), thermische Hydrolyse von MgCl₂·H₂O und Chlorwasserstoffaustritt aus Magnesiumhydroxychloriden. Das Schmelzen der Phasen MgCl₂·6H₂O, MgCl₂·4H₂O und MgCl₂ ist in den thermischen Kurven ebenfalls zu erkennen. Im Luft- und Stickstoffstrom erfolgt ein Gewichtsverlust bis 800 °C, in statischer Luftatmosphäre dagegen nur bis 700 °C. MgO war in beiden Fällen Endprodukt der thermischen Behandlung. Die kinetischen Parameter der Reaktion (AktivierungsenergieE, präexponentieller FaktorA, scheinbare Reaktionsordnungb) wurden nach verschiedenen Methoden berechnet. Aktivierungsenergie und scheinbare Reaktionsordnung der Dehydratisierung nehmen mit abnehmendem Hydratationsgrad des Mg zu. Die Chlorwasserstoffabspaltung erfordert die höchste Aktivierungsenergie.

Kinetic studies of thiolane synthesis from tetrahydrofurane and H2S

Kinetic studies of tetrahydrofuran reaction with H₂S were carried out in a flow-circulation reactor. Presumably, the reaction takes place through dissociative chemisorption of reactants and the interaction of surface structures formed to produce thiolane and water. A kinetic equation that agrees with the suggested mechanism has been derived.

Temperature dependence of the X-ray induced adsorption of oxygen and methane on ZnO

The capacity of ZnO with respect to the photo- and X-ray adsorbed, as well as postadsorbed oxygen is shown to depend on the temperature. It is suggested that this dependence cannot be attributed to either the thermal annealing of the induced sites or the thermal desorption of the adsorbed molecules.
