CO在Pd平板与Pd38团簇表面上的催化氧化机理研究

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)计算模拟Pd平板和Pd_(38)团簇上的CO催化氧化过程,分析了CO在Pd催化剂表面上的氧化反应机理。结果表明,在Pd_(38)团簇模型上CO催化氧化的决速步骤是O_2的解离,反应能垒为0.65 eV,而在Pd平板模型上的决速步骤是CO的氧化,其反应能垒为0.87 eV。对比决速步骤的活化能发现,CO在Pd_(38)团簇上的氧化反应更易进行,说明CO氧化更易在小颗粒催化剂表面上进行,即Pd催化剂的活性与活性组分颗粒大小相关,活性组分颗粒越小,暴露的活性位点越多,其催化活性也越高。     

Asymmetric acetylenic thioethers in ruthenium cluster chemistry

The compounds [Ru₃(CO)₉(μ,η²-SCCR)(μ₃,η²-CCR^′)] (R=SiMe₃, R^′=SiⁱPr₃ (1); R=SiⁱPr₃, R^′=SiMe₃ (2); R=SiⁱPr₃, R^′=H (3); R=H, R^′=SiⁱPr₃ (4)) have been obtained by cleavage of one S-C bond of the thioethers ⁱPr₃SiCCSCCR (R=H, SiMe₃) in the presence of Ru₃(CO)₁₂. Thermal treatment of [Ru₃(CO)₉(μ,η²-SCCSiⁱPr₃)(μ₃,η²-CCH)] yields to the cluster [Ru₄(CO)₉(μ-CO)₂(μ₄-S)(μ₄-η²-C(H)C)(CCSiⁱPr₃)] (5) which contains a bridging sulfur atom and a polycarbon chain as a consequence of the rupture of the S-C bond and a C-C coupling reaction. All derivatives have been characterized by spectroscopic data. An X-ray diffraction study was carried out on the species [Ru₃(CO)₉(μ,η²-SCCSiⁱPr₃)(μ₃,η²-CCSiMe₃)] and of [Ru₃(CO)₉(μ,η²-SCCSiⁱPr₃)(μ₃,η²-CCH)].     

A dynamic study of isomerization on MoOx catalyst

The dynamics of n-heptane isomerization on the reduced MoO₃ catalyst have been studied in a fixed bed flow reactor. In the reaction temperature ranging from 523 to 673 K, the apparent energy for n-heptane isomerization obtained from the Arrhenius plot was 49.3 kJ/mol. At 573 K, the reaction orders of 0.33 in n-heptane and 0.35 in H₂ have been obtained.

Thermal isomerization of verbenol in the gas and liquid phases is discussed. The effect of temperature and residence time on the reaction mixture composition was studied (at 460-600°C and a residence time t of about 10^-3 min for the gas phase conditions; at 200-350°С and t = 10-80 min for the liquid phase process). The kinetic behavior and the reaction mechanisms are presented. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Reactions of palladium(I) carbonylacetate cluster with alcohols

Reactions of a tetranuclear palladium cluster [Pd(CO)(OAc)[4 with C₁-C₃ alcohols have been found to proceed simultaneously via several routes to form CO, and dialkyl carbonates, the products of oxidation of coordinated CO ligands, along with carbonyl compounds which form due to oxidation of the corresponding alcohols. Alkoxy, alkoxycarbonyl, and acyl palladium derivatives are shown to be the intermediates of the reactions studied.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Density functional study of hydrogen adsorption and dissociation on small Pdn (n = 1–7) clusters

Density functional theory has been performed to investigate the interaction of H₂ and Pd_n clusters (n = 1–7). The local minima configurations for different H₂ molecule approach modes towards Pd_n clusters are presented. Our results show that in some cases H₂ is physically adsorbed around Pd atom, and in other cases H₂ is dissociated to be H atoms. Except for PdH2, Pd_n clusters with H atoms dissociatively adsorbed are most stable. For these most stable PdnH2 clusters (n  2), the binding energy of hydrogen atom decreases as the number of Pd atom increases until n = 4, and when n  4, the binding energy almost keeps constant with the H atoms bound sites changing from Pd–Pd bonds to Pd triangle planes. Besides, the adsorption of H₂ on other low-lying isomers of Pd_n clusters is also discussed.     

First principles study of the structure,electronic state,and stability of CmN2 clusters

Geometric and electronic properties of C_mN₂ (m = 1–14) clusters have been investigated by density functional theory using the hybrid B3LYP functional and the 6‐311G(d) basis set. Harmonic frequencies for these clusters are given to aid in the characterization of the ground states. These results show that C_mN₂ (m = 1–14) clusters form linear structures with D_∞h symmetry. Two N atoms favor to bond at ends in linear isomers. The chains with odd m have triplet ground states whereas the ones with even m have singlet ground states. The calculated HOMO–LUMO gaps and ionization potentials all show that the C_mN₂ (m = 1–14) clusters with even m are more stable than those with odd m, which is consistent with the observed even–odd alternation of the time‐of‐flight signal intensities. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A computational study of photochemical isomerization reactions of thiophenes

The mechanisms of the photochemical isomerization reactions were investigated theoretically using three model systems; 2‐methylthiophene, 2‐cyanothiophene, and 2‐phenylthiophene. The CASSCF (10‐electron/eight‐orbital active space) and MP2‐CAS methods were employed with the 6‐311(d) basis set. Three mechanisms, i.e., the internal cyclization‐isomerization route (path A), the zwitterion‐tricyclic route (path B), and the direct route (path C), have been used to explore the real photochemical reaction mechanism of these three model molecules. The structures of the conical intersections, which play a key role in such phototranspositions, were obtained. The intermediates and transition structures of the ground states were also calculated to assist in providing a qualitative explanation of the reaction pathways. Our model investigations suggest that the preferred reaction route is as follows: reactant → Franck‐Condon region → conical intersection → photoproduct. In particular, the conical intersection mechanism described in this work gives a better explanation than either the previously proposed internal cyclization‐isomerization (path A) or the zwitterion‐tricyclic pathway (path B) mechanisms, and is supported by the experimental observations. The results obtained allow a number of predictions to be made. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem 2010     

Heteropolynuclear palladium complexes with pyrazolate and its 3-tert-butyl derivatives: the effect of heterometal ions on the rate of isomerization

The heteropolynuclear complexes [Pd(2)M'(2)(mu-pz)(6)] (M'=Ag (1), Au (2); pzH=pyrazole), HT-[Pd(2)M'(2)(mu-3-tBupz)(6)] (M'=Ag (3 a), Au (4 a); 3-tBupzH=3-tert-butylpyrazole), and HH-[Pd(2)Au(2)(mu-3-tBupz)(6)] (4 b) have been prepared and some of them were structurally characterized. When 3-tert-butylpyrazolate was employed as a bridging ligand, two linkage isomers (head-to-tail (HT) and head-to-head (HH)) arise from the difference in orientation of the substituent groups on the pyrazolate bridges between the two Pd atoms. (1)H NMR spectroscopy has been used to identify and to follow the reversible stereochemical rearrangement of the HH isomer of [Pd(2)Ag(2)(mu-3-tBupz)(6)] (3 b) to form the HT isomer 3 a in CDCl(3) and the HT isomer of [Pd(2)Au(2)(mu-3-tBupz)(6)] (4 a) to form the HH isomer 4 b in C(6)D(6). Kinetic studies of the reaction have established the rate law to be -d(HH)/dt=d(HT)/dt=k(2)[HH]-k(1)[HT] for 3 b and -d(HT)/dt=d(HH)/dt=k(1)[HT]-k(2)[HH] for 4 a, where k(1) and k(2) denote the rate of isomerization from the HT to the HH isomer and that from the HH to the HT isomer, respectively. For typical runs at 50 degrees C in C(6)D(6), k(1)=13.8x10(-5) s(-1), k(2)=18.6x10(-5) s(-1), and K(eq)=k(2)/k(1)=1.24 for 3 b, and k(1)=1.26x10(-5) s(-1), k(2)=3.52x10(-5) s(-1), and K(eq)=k(1)/k(2)=0.36 for 4 a. Temperature-dependent rate measurements reveal DeltaH(not equal) and DeltaS(not equal) to be 100(1) kJ mol(-1) and 0(3) J mol(-1) K(-1) for 3 b and 112(5) kJ mol(-1) and 20(17) J mol(-1) K(-1) for 4 a, respectively. The rate of isomerization is essentially unaffected by the concentration of the complex or by the presence of neutral bridging ligands. These data and observations imply that the isomerization involves an intramolecular exchange process.     

Allylic isomerization of dichlorobutenes catalyzed by iron-containing nanoparticles stabilized in polymeric matrices

Iron-containing clusters obtained by the decomposition of iron complexes in a solutionmelt of a polymeric matrix exhibit catalytic activity in the isomerization of dichlorobutenes. The activity of the clusters stabilized in the polytetrafluoroethylene and polyethylene matrices depends on the nature of the stabilizing matrix and the content of the metal in it,i. e., on the size and structure of the cluster, and substantially exceeds the activity of supported metals and powders. The clusters in the polytetrafluoroethylene matrix are more active than those in polyethylene. The dependence of the catalytic activity on the metal content has an extreme character, and for the polyethylene matrix it achieves a maximum at a metal content of ≈10%. In catalysts with this composition, the particle size increases to 4–5 nm, and the distance between them is shortened, on the average, to 10 nm, which leads to interaction of the cluster particles with each other.

Palladium-catalyzed isomerization of 1-hexene

The isomerization of 1-hexene over Pd(acac)₂ + BF₃OEt₂ and Pd(acac)₂ + PPh₃ + BF₃OEt₂ catalyst systems proceeds by the consecutive-parallel scheme. Tetracoordinate square-planar Pd hydrides bearing two vacant coordination sites are likely to be catalytically active species for the isomerization of hexene-1.

A first principles study of Pd deposition on the TiO2(1 1 0) surface

 The adsorption of isolated Pd atoms on the (1 1 0) surface of rutile TiO₂ was investigated through ab initio embedded-cluster calculations performed at the Hartree–Fock, second-order M?ller–Plesset and Becke's three parameter hybrid method with the Lee–Yang–Parr correlation functional levels. The role played by the magnitude of the surrounding charges used in the embedding procedure was carefully analyzed. The most stable site for adsorption consisted of a fourfold hollow site in which the Pd atom was coordinated to a fivefold Ti atom, two basal oxygens, and a protruding oxygen atom. However, the adsorption energies computed after basis set superposition error corrections seemed to favor a bridge site in which the Pd atom binds two protruding oxygen atoms. A periodic slab calculation using gradient-corrected functionals and plane-wave basis sets confirmed that for full coverage, the hollow site was more stable, although Pd displacement along the fivefold Ti channels was almost free. These results agree with the experimental data obtained from scanning tunneling microscopy. Finally, the adsorption energy computed from the periodic calculations was found to be 1.88 eV.

Fragmentation and isomerization of 1,2-dimethylcyclobutane

The potential surface of 1,2-dimethylcyclobutane is investigated with respect to fragmentation and isomerization by the semiempirical MO method SINDO1. Energy and geometry of eight transition states and four intermediates are determined for the nonconcerted fragmentations under optimization of all internal coordinates. We find that symmetric cleavage ofcis-dimethylcyclobutane is the most favored process leading to fragmentation. Whereas the symmetric elimination involves two different barrier heights, the asymmetric elimination involves only two equal barrier heights. The possibility of isomerization ofcis- totrans- dimethylcyclobutane was also studied and revealed two different barrier heights lower than the corresponding heights for fragmentation.     

Structures and isomerization of neutral and zwitterion serine–water clusters: Computational study

Calculations are presented for the structure and the isomerization reaction of various conformers of the bare serine, neutral serine–(H₂O)_n and serine zwitterion–(H₂O)_n (n = 1, 2) clusters. The effects of binding water molecules on the relative stability and the isomerization processes are examined. Hydrogen bonding between serine and the water molecule(s) may significantly affect the relative stability of conformers of the neutral serine–(H₂O)_n (n = 1, 2) clusters. The sidechain (OH group) in serine is found to have a profound effect on the structure and isomerization of serine–(H₂O)_n (n = 1, 2) clusters. Conformers with the hydrogen bonding between water and the hydroxyl group of serine are predicted. A detailed analysis is presented of the isomerization (proton transfer) pathways between the neutral serine–(H₂O)₂ and serine zwitterion–(H₂O)₂ clusters by carrying out the intrinsic reaction coordinate analysis. At least two water molecules need to bind to produce the stable serine zwitterion–water cluster in the gas phase. The isomerization for the serine–(H₂O)₂ cluster proceeds by the concerted double and triple proton transfer mechanism occurring via the binding water molecules, or via the hydroxyl group. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
