Acidity and oxidation activity of MoO3?UO3/SiO2 catalysts

The effect of UO₃ on the acidity of MoO₃–UO₃/SiO₂ catalysts has been studied by means of infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine. The surface acidity exhibited a maximum for the same U/(U+Mo) atomic ratio (=0.11) that yielded a maximum in total conversion for isobutene oxidation. The catalytic properties for oxidation are discussed in terms of the acidic properties of the samples.

Some remarks about butene-1 transformations on NaHY zeolite

Comments are given on the paper Alternative Interpretation of Infrared Spectra of the Zeolite NaHY+Butene-1 System of Forster and Seelemann /2/. Our previous paper /1/ was partly revised but the usefulness of comprehensive studies by infrared and temperature-programmed desorption methods has been emphasized.

On the entropies of glassy and monoclinic selenium at 0 K

The entropies of trigonal, monoclinic and glassy selenium are discussed based on the ATHAS data bank data and third law entropy considerations. Within the error limit both trigonal and monoclinic selenium have zero residual entropy at zero kelvin temperature. The residual entropy of glassy Se is similar in magnitude to other linear macromolecules.

Zusammenfassung Basierend auf Daten der ATHAS-Datenbank und auf den dritten Hauptsatz der Thermodynamik basierenden Entropiebetrachtungen werden die Entropien von trigonalem, monoklinem und glasartigem Selen diskutiert. Beim absoluten Nullpunkt haben innerhalb der Fehlergrenzen sowohl das trigonale als auch das monokline Selen eine Restentropie von Null. Die Restentropie von glasartigem Selen ist größenordnungsmäßig gleich der anderer linearer Makromoleküle.

Systemes metaux alcalins-oxygene

Résumé Le comportement thermique du monooxyde de césium Cs₂O a été déterminé par analyse thermique différentielle, thermogravimétrie et diffraction X. L'utilisation de différents matériaux pour contenir ce produit a été nécessaire pour cerner les phénomènes propres à cet oxyde. On trouve la température de fusion de Cs₂O=495±5° et sa pression de vapeur égale à 10^–4 Torr à 240°. Aucune transformation allotropique n'est mise en évidence.

The thermal behaviour of cesium monoxide (Cs₂O) was determined by differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetry and X-ray diffraction. The use of several materials as sample holders was necessary to clarify the properties of this oxide. The melting point of Cs₂O was found to be 495±5°, and its vapour pressure equal to 10^–4 torr at 240°. No allotropic transformation was observed.

Catalytic epoxidation of propylene with tert-butyl peroxide in presence of molybdenum complexes on polymer carriers

A polymer catalyst has been synthesized on the basis of Amberlite IRA-45 anion-exchange resin modified with molybdenum hexacarbonyl. Its catalytic activity in the epoxidation of propylene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide is similar to the activity of Mo(CO)₆ used under homogeneous conditions.

Effect of carbon support on the hydrogen sorption of platinum

The hydrogen sorption of carbon-supported platinum catalysts, studied by the potentiodynamic method, differs significantly from that of unsupported platinum. The difference depends on the preparation method and on the nature of the support. Possible explanations are suggested as (i) some kind of interaction between metal and support atoms during impregnation, (ii) high dispersity (amorphous structure) and (iii) hydrogen spillover onto the carbon support.
