氢气对Ag/Al2O3和Cu/Al2O3催化剂选择性催化C3H6还原Nox反应的影响

 添加H2对Ag/Al2O3和Cu/Al2O3催化剂选择性催化C3H6还原NOx反应具有不同的影响. 原位漫反射红外光谱分析表明,在Ag/Al2O3催化剂上, H2的存在促进了C3H6部分氧化产物烯醇式物种(RCH=CH-O-)和乙酸盐等的形成,烯醇式物种和硝酸盐为主要反应中间体,二者间的相互反应性能很强,能形成高浓度的反应关键中间体异氰酸酯(-NCO)表面吸附物种,因此NOx的去除活性提高; 而在Cu/Al2O3催化剂上, H2的存在并没有促进C3H6部分氧化产物的形成,而且抑制了硝酸盐的形成,进而抑制了C3H6部分氧化产物与硝酸盐反应形成表面-NCO 物种,导致NOx的去除活性降低.

采用B3LYP和QCISD(T)方法计算得到了CN自由基与乙烯酮(CH2CO)双分子单碰撞反应势能面.结果表明,CN自由基与CH2CO的单碰撞反应存在三个最可能的反应通道.一是CN中C原子进攻CH2CO中亚甲基碳原子生成中间体NCCH2CO,然后中间体NCCH2CO中和—CO基团相接的C—C键断裂得到产物CH2CN CO;二是CN与CH2CO分子直接加成生成中间体CH2C(O)CN,然后这个中间体通过—CN基团的转移异构化到中间体NCCH2CO,进而通过第一条通道得到产物CH2CN CO;三是CN自由基直接从CH2CO中夺氢的氢迁移反应,由于存在一个15.44 kJ/mol的反应势垒及产物的能量较高,这个通道在整体反应动力学里是可以忽略的.目前的理论计算结果与实验结果符合,并有效地解释了此反应的具体机理过程.     

Catalytic activity of Pd ensembles over Au(111) surface for CO oxidation: a first-principles study

Employing the first-principles pseudopotential plane-wave methods and nudged-elastic-band simulations, we studied the reaction of CO oxidation on Pd-decorated Au(111) surface. We found that the contiguous Pd ensembles are required for the CO + O(2) reaction. Interestingly, Pd dimer is an active site for the two-step reaction of CO+O(2)→OOCO→CO(2)+O, and a low energy barrier (0.29 eV) is found for the formation of the intermediate metastable state (OOCO) compared to the barrier of 0.69 eV on Pd trimer. Furthermore, the residual atomic O in the CO + O(2) reaction can be removed by another CO on Pd dimer with the barrier of 0.56 eV close to the value of 0.52 eV on Pd monomer via Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. The higher energy barriers (0.96 and 0.64 eV) are also found for the CO + O reaction on Pd trimers. The calculated results indicate Pd dimer is highly reactive for CO oxidation by O(2) via association mechanism on Pd-decorated Au(111) surface.     

Ancillary ligands and spectator cations as controlling factors in the construction of coordination and hydrogen-bonded networks with the tert-Bu-C triple bond C superset Ag(n) (n=4, 5) supramolecular synthon

Supramolecular networks constructed with the tBu--C[triple bond]C superset Ag(n) (n=4 or 5) metal-ligand synthon and trifluoroacetate have been transformed through the introduction of ancillary terminal nitrile ligands, from acetonitrile through propionitrile to tert-butyronitrile, giving rise to a 2D coordination network in AgC[triple chemical bond]CtBu3 AgCF(3)CO(2)H(2)O (1), a 2D hydrogen-bonded network in AgC[triple chemical bond]CtBu5 AgCF(3)CO(2)4 CH(3)CNH(2)O (2), a 2D hybrid coordination/hydrogen-bonded network in AgC[triple chemical bond]CtBu3 AgCF(3)CO(2)CH(3)CH(2)CN2 H(2)O (3), and another 2D coordination network in AgC[triple chemical bond]CtBu4 AgCF(3)CO(2) (CH(3))(3)CCN2 H(2)O (4). Concomitantly, the linkage modes between adjacent ethynide-bound Ag(n) aggregates in these compounds are also changed. A layer-type hydrogen-bonded host lattice in isostructural AgC[triple chemical bond]CtBu4 AgCF(3)CO(2)(R(4)N)(CF(3)CO(2)) 2 H(2)O (R(4)=BnMe(3), 5; R(4)=Et(4), 6; R(4)=nPr(4), 7) is obtained by introducing quaternary ammonium cations as guest templates, which occupy the interstices and thereby mediate the interlayer separation. Use of the bulky nBu(4)N(+) cation leads to disruption of the host network in AgC[triple bond]CtBu4 AgCF(3)CO(2)3[(nBu(4)N)(CF(3)CO(2))]H(2)O (8) with generation of a discrete dense nido-Ag(5) cluster.     

CO oxidation on unsupported Au55, Ag55, and Au25Ag30 nanoclusters

Using density functional calculations, we demonstrate a catalytic reaction path with activation barriers of less than 0.5 eV for CO oxidation on the neutral and unsupported icosahedral nanoclusters of Au(55), Ag(55), and Au(25)Ag(30). Both CO and O(2) adsorb more strongly on these clusters than on the corresponding bulk surfaces. The reaction path consists of an intermediate involving OOCO complex through which the coadsorption energy of CO and O(2) on these clusters is expected to play an important role in the reaction. Based on the studies for the Au and Ag nanoclusters, a model alloy nanocluster of Au(25)Ag(30) was designed to provide a larger coadsorption energy for CO and O(2) and was anticipated to be a better catalyst for CO oxidation from energetic analysis.     

Betaine-induced assembly of neutral infinite columns and chains of linked silver(I) polyhedra with embedded acetylenediide

Ten polymeric silver(I) double salts containing embedded acetylenediide: [(Ag2C2)2(AgCF3CO2)9(L1)3] (1), [(Ag2C2)2(AgCF3CO2)10(L2)3]H2O (2), [(Ag2C2)(AgCF3CO2)4(L3)(H2O)]0.75 H2O (3), [(Ag2C2)(1.5)(AgCF3CO2)7(L4)2] (4), [(Ag2C2)(AgCF3CO2)7(L5)2(H2O)] (5), [(Ag2C2) (AgC2F5CO2)7(L1)3(H2O)] (6), [(Ag2C2)(AgCF3CO2)7(L1)3(H2O)]2 H2O (7), [(Ag2C2)(AgC2F5CO2)6(L3)2] (8), [(Ag2C2)2(AgC2F5CO2)12(L4)2(H2O)4]H2O (9), and [(Ag2C2)(AgCF3CO2)6(L3)2(H2O)]H2O (10) have been isolated by varying the types of betaines, the perfluorocarboxylate ligands employed, and the reaction conditions. Single-crystal X-ray analysis has shown that 1-4 all have a columnar structure composed of fused silver(I) double cages, with C2(2-) species embedded in its stem and an exterior coat comprising anionic and zwitterionic carboxylates. For 5 and 6, single silver(I) cages are linked into a beaded chain through both types of carboxylate ligands. In 7, two different coordination modes of L1 connect the silver(I) polyhedra into a chain. For 8, the mu(2)-O,O' coordination mode of L3 connects the silver(I) double cages into a chain. Compound 9 exhibits a two-dimensional architecture generated from the cross-linkage of double cages by C2F5CO2-, L4, and [Ag2(C2F5CO2)2] units. Similar to 9, 10 is also a two-dimensional structure, which is formed by connecting the chains of linked double cages through [Ag2(CF3CO2)2] bridging.     

Crown ethers as ancillary ligands in the assembly of silver(i) aggregates containing embedded acetylenediide

Five silver(I) double salts containing embedded acetylenediide, [Ag([12]crown-4)(2)][Ag(10)(C(2))(CF(3)CO(2))(9)([12]crown-4)(2)(H(2)O)(3)] x H(2)O (2), [Ag(2)C(2) x 5 AgCF(3)CO(2) x (benzo[15]crown-5) x 2 H(2)O] x 0.5 H(2)O (3), [Ag(4)([18]crown-6)(4)(H(2)O)(3)][Ag(18)(C(2))(3)(CF(3)CO(2))(16)(H(2)O)(2.5)] x 2.5 H(2)O (4), [Ag(2)C(2) x 6 AgC(2)F(5)CO(2) x 2([15]crown-5)](2) (5), and [(Ag(2)C(2))(2) x (AgC(2)F(5)CO(2))(9) x ([18]crown-6)(2) x (H(2)O)(3.5)] x H(2)O (6), have been isolated by varying the types of crown ethers and anions employed. Single-crystal X-ray analysis has shown that complex 2 is composed of winding anionic chains with sandwiched [Ag([12]crown-4)(2)](+) ions accommodated in the concave cavities between them. In 3, silver(I) double cages each sandwiched by a couple of benzo[15]crown-5 ligands are linked by [Ag(2)(CF(3)CO(2))(2)] bridges to form a one-dimensional structure. For 4, an anionic silver column is generated through fusion of two kinds of silver polyhedra (triangulated dodecahedron and bicapped trigonal antiprism), and the charge balance is provided by aqua-ligated [Ag([18]crown-6)](+) ions. Complex 5 is a centrosymmetric hexadecanuclear supermolecule composed of two [(eta(5)-[15]crown-5)(2)(C(2)@Ag(7))(mu-C(2)F(5)CO(2))(5)] moieties connected through a [Ag(2)(C(2)F(5)CO(2))(2)] bridge. Compound 6 is a discrete supermolecule containing an asymmetric (C(2))(2)@Ag(13) cluster core capped by two [18]crown-6 ligands in mu(3)-eta(5) and mu(4)-eta(6) ligation modes.     

Mechanism of CO Oxidation on Cu2O (111) Surface: A DFT and Microkinetic Study

Catalytic oxidation has been recognized as one of the most efficient and promising techniques for the abatement of CO and volatile organic compounds. In the present work, the CO oxidation mechanism on perfect Cu₂O (111) surface was investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations with the periodic surface model. The unsaturated singly coordinated Cu⁺ site of Cu₂O (111) surface could effectively adsorb gaseous CO molecule with a strong adsorption energy of −1.558 eV. The adsorbed O on Cu₂O (111) surface is very active toward CO oxidation with only 0.269 eV energy barrier. The reaction between CO and lattice O is the rate‐determining step of Mars‐van‐Krevelen (MvK) type CO oxidation with the energy barrier of 1.629 eV. The CO oxidation cycle initiated by the reaction between coadsorbed CO and O₂ at the Cu_I site has a relatively lower energy barrier of 1.082 eV and is, therefore, more likely to proceed compared with the MvK cycle. Microkinetic rate constants of elementary reaction steps based on the transition state theory were deduced, which could be helpful in the kinetic modeling of CO oxidation on Cu₂O surface.
