X-ray spectral investigation by synchrotron radiation of supported Re/SiO2 and (Re+Pt)/SiO2 catalysts prepared via triethoxyrhenium

Using synchrotron radiation L_III absorption spectra of rhenium in Re/SiO₂ and (Re+Pt)/SiO₂ catalysts prepared via triethoxyrhenium have been studied. The conclusion has been drawn that reduced catalysts contain lowvalent rhenium ions and their composition is more uniform than that of the previously examined catalysts Re/Al₂O₃ and (Re+Pt)/Al₂O₃ prepared by a conventional impregnation technique.

Ruthenium(VI) catalyzed oxidation of sodium salts of lactic, tartaric and glycolic acid by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III)

The kinetics of ruthenium(VI) catalyzed oxidation of sodium salts of lactic, tartaric and glycolic acid by hexacyanoferrate(III) in aqueous alkaline medium have been studied at constant ionic strength. The reaction shows first order dependence on ruthenium(VI) and zero order on hexacyanoferrate(III). The rate of reaction increases with increasing substrate concentration and shows Michaelis-Menten type behavior. The rate of reaction decreases with increase in hydroxide ion concentration. Oxidation proceeds via formation of a complex between substrate and ruthenium(VI). A probable mechanism is suggested.

Determination of the surface acidity of solid catalysts

A novel method has been developed for determining the surface acidity of white, as well as deeply colored porous solids. The method, which was tested on Al₂O₃, SiO₂–MgO–Al₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃ catalysts, is based on the adsorption of pyridine or benzylamine on acidic sites and subsequent displacement of the adsorbed bases by n-butylamine. A linear correlation was found between the concentration of acidic sites on Al₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃ catalysts and their activity in the dehydration oftert-butyl alcohol.

On the initial treatment of kinetic data

The kinetic methods usually employed to determine reaction orders involve some sort of mathematical approximation and provide values approximate and very often discrepant. Three methods are reported to determine accurate reaction orders without introducing approximations.

Decomposition of isopropanol on V2O5 of different grain morphology and its relation to o-xylene oxidation catalysts

Decompositon of isopropanol has been studied on V₂O₅ samples of different morphology. It has been shown that the selectivity to acetone increases with the increase in the fraction of (010) plane of V₂O₅ on the sample surface, whereas the selectivity to propene decreases. The results are compared with previous data of o-xylene oxidation on the same samples and discussed in terms of the model of V₂O₅ surface [7].

Title reactions are acid catalyzed and strongly dependent on the permittivity of the medium. With Cr(VI) indene reacts faster than trans-stilbene, but with V(V), trans-stilbene reacts faster than indene. The mechanism is discussed.

Ab initio investigation of the electron structure in bis-Cu+ acetylene and vinylidene complexes

[Cu(-C₂H₂)₂]⁺, [Cu(-CCH₂)₂]⁺ and [Cu(-C₂H₂) (-CCH₂]⁺ complexes have been studied by the ab initio double-zeta basis set method. It has been established that all calculated compounds are stable to decomposition into two C₂H₂ molecules and Cu⁺ cation and into one C₂H₂ molecules and the respective monocomplex. Calculation results suggest the possibility of intramolecular acetylene-vinylidene rearrangement in the coordination sphere of Cu⁺.

Thermische Zersetzung des Lithiumhexacyanoferrats(III)

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Lithiumhexacyanoferrat (III) in Luft führt in drei Temperaturbereichen, d.h. zwischen 250 und 400°, 500 und 650° und 925 und 1000° zur Bildung ferromagnetischer Produkte. Durch Röntgendiffraktionsuntersuchung und magnetische Messungen wurde bewiesen, daß im ersten Temperaturbereich-Fe₂O₃ die für die ferromagnetischen Eigenschaften der Zersetzungsprodukte verantwortliche Phase ist, während in den anderen Bereichen diese Eigenschaften durch Lithiumferrit der Formel Li_0.5Fe_2.5O₄ verursacht werden.

The thermal decomposition of lithium hexacyanoferrate (III) in air leads to the formation of ferromagnetic products in three temperature ranges, namely 250–400°, 500–650° and 925–1000°. By X-ray diffraction studies and magnetic measurements it has been proved that in the first temperature region-Fe₂O₃ is the phase responsible for the ferromagnetic properties of the decomposition products, whereas in the other regions these properties are due to the presence of the lithium ferrite Li_0.5Fe_2.5O₄.

Poissonian stationary distribution in a class of detailed balanced reactions

We investigate those detailed balanced (vectorial) complex chemical reactions that belong to the class of simple Markovian population processes and show that there is no chemical reaction with independent reaction rates having a Poissonian stationary distribution. There exists, however, a manifold of reactions with dependent (as given) reaction rates and with Poissonian stationary distribution.

Acid-base properties of supported vanadium oxide catalyst

Reduction of V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ and V₂O₅/silica-alumina produced Lewis acid sites which could strongly adsorb CO (heat of adsorption: 90 kJ/mol). Such strong acid sites were not formed in the cases of V₂O₅/SiO₂ and V₂O₅/MgO. V₂O₅ loaded on Al₂O₃ interacted with the basic sites of alumina but not with the acidic sites, while the V₂O₅ on silica-alumina interacted with the acidic sites of the silica-alumina and decreased its acidity.

Thermal decomposition of thorium(IV) benzenetricarboxylates prepared in various ways

The thermal decompositions of thorium(IV) trimesinate and trimellitate, prepared under various conditions, have been studied. On heating benzenetricarboxylates of Th(IV) decompose in many stages. First, the hydrated complexes lose crystallization water in one, two or four stages, forming anhydrous comtlexes which decompose to ThO₂ with the intermediate formation of ThOCO₃. The dehydrations of the complexes are associated with strong endothermic effects, and the decompositions of the anhydrous complexes are accompanied by exothermic effects.

Beim Erhitzen zersetzen sich Benzyltricarboxylate von Th(IV) in mehreren Stufen. Als erstes geben die hydrierten Komplexe in ein, zwei oder vier Schritten Kristallwasser ab. Die dehydrierten Komplexe zersetzen sich über das Zwischenprodukt ThOCO₃ zu ThO₂. Die Dehydrierung der Komplexe ist mit starken endothermischen Effekten verbunden, während die Zersetzung der dehydrierten Komplexe von exothermen Effekten begleitet wird.

Investigations of photopolymerization by means of intermittent illumination

An apparatus is described for intermittent illumination of the sample in a DSC-2C (Perkin-Elmer) modified with some additional optical equipment. A slotted disk is used as a light chopper. This is driven by a computer-controlled stepping motor. The various frequencies needed for investigations of this kind are derived from a computer quartz-controlled clock frequency by means of software. The operator dialogue is achieved through the Perkin-Elmer Data Station to simplify the use of the equipment.

Self-oscillations in the rate of CO oxidation on Pt(110)

The surface of Pt(110) was found to be metastable under the reaction conditions. The necessary condition for the appearance of self-oscillations in the system is the change of platinum surface properties under the action of reaction medium. Self-oscillations in the rate are maintained due to reversibility of these changes.
