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.

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.

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.

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.

Testing the photocatalytic activity of cyanogen-and thiocyanogen-based inorganic polymers

The photocatalytic properties of some cyanogen-and thiocyanogen-based inorganic polymers, such as paracyanogens containing different metals (Hg, Ag, Cu), polythiocyanogens of different iodine contents, polycyanogen and poly (cyanogenthiocyanate), have been tested in two systems. Cu-containing paracyanogen and the iodine-poor polythiocyanogens catalyze the photoreduction of methylviologen under visible light, furthermore the Cu-containing paracyanogen catalyzes the photoreduction of water to hydrogen under UV irradiation.

Mechanism of oxidation of molybdovanadophosphoric heteropoly blues by molecular oxygen. Trivanadium heteropoly blue

The oxidation of a heteropoly blue (HPB) of the composition Na_xH_9-xPMo₉V₃O₄₀ with molecular oxygen has been studied by the method of catalytic vanadyl oxidation. It is shown that the reduction of an oxygen molecule requires the addition of a fourth atom of V(IV) in the form of a vanadyl ion to the heteropoly anion.
