Hydrogenation of CO2 on carbon-supported nickel and cobalt

The hydrogenation of CO₂ has been studied at atmospheric pressure on Co/C and Ni/C catalysts and the results are compared with those obtained on unsupported Co and Ni. Specific activites in the form of turnover frequencies for CO₂ hydrogenation decrease with increasing metal dispersity. Carbon supported Co and Ni present a smaller selectivity for methane than bulk metals. Higher specific activities and smaller activation energies are obtained on Co catalysts, compared with those determined for Ni catalysts.

Hydrogenation of xylenes over supported Pt catalysts. Influence of different variables on their catalytic activity

In this work we studied and compared the catalytic activity of various supported Pt systems on the gas-phase hydrogenation of o-, m- and p-xylene. We analyzed the influence of different catalyst preparation variables (solvent, precursor, salt, support and catalyst reduction temperature used) on the catalytic activity and selectivity towards the corresponding cis-and trans-dimethylcyclohexanes.

Effect of quantization of molecular rotations on the rate of capture in the ion-linear dipole system

The version of transition state theory that accounts for quantization of the rotational energy of a dipole gives ion-dipole capture rate constants in good agreement with the statistical adiabatic channel model and, in the region , gives results more accurate than those obtained by numerical trajectory calculations.

Reduction of alkenes by hydrogen transfer over a Pd/sepiolite catalyst. Compensation effect

This paper shows the occurrence of a linear relationship between the activation energy (E_A) and the logarithm of the pre-exponential factor (ln A) in the Arrhenius equation, and between the enthalpy increment (H) and the entropy increment (S) in the Eyring equation for the reduction of olefinic double bonds by hydrogen transfer over a Pd/sepiolite catalyst. Such a relationship is known as the compensation effect or isokinetic relationship.

Kinetics and mechanism of the hydrogenation of substituted anthraquinones on Raney nickel catalysts

The rate and direction of the hydrogenation of anthraquinone has been established to depend considerably on the nature and position of the substituent as well as on the structure and phase composition of the catalyst. The selectivity of the process is increased by introducing electronaccepting substituents into the anthraquinone molecule or upon doping the Ni–Al alloy by additives increasing the M–H bond energy.

Comparison of properties of supported organozirconium catalysts containing zirconium ions in different valence states

A comparison of the properties of supported zirconium catalysts containing zirconium ions in different valence states in ethylene polymerization shows that an increase in the proportion of active centers involving Zr(III) ions results in a decreasing molecular weight of the polymer. The catalyst activity is practically unchanged.

Transverse photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) applied to thermal diffusiyity measurements

Transverse photothermal deflection spectroscopy(PDS) is applied for the determination of thermal diffusivities of solid surfaces. The theory of PDS is briefly recalled and some approximated analytical formulae concerning the transverse configuration are derived. In materials where the thermal diffusivity is smaller than that of the air, the dependence of the deflection angle on the displacement between pump and probe beams is shown to have a minimum that relates to the thermal diffusivity, thereby allowing its straightforward measurement. Measurements carried out on Al₂O₃ samples with different porosities at room temperature show a good agreement between experiment and theory.

Zusammenfassung Die transverse photothermische Reflektionsspektroskopie (PDS) wird zur Bestimmung der thermischen Diffusivität von festen Oberflächen herangezogen. Die Theorie der PDS wird kurz dargelegt und einige sich auf die transverse Konfiguration beziehenden analytischen Näherungsgleichungen abgeleitet. Es wird gezeigt, daß bei Materialien mit kleinerer thermischer Diffusivität als Luft die Abhängigkeit des Deflektionswinkels von der Ablenkung zwischen Pumpen- und Probenstrahl ein Minimum aufweist, das mit der thermischen Diffusivität im Zusammenhang steht und somit deren zuverlässige Messung ermöglicht. An Al₂O₃-Proben unterschiedlicher Porosität bei Raumtemperatur ausgeführte Messungen zeigen gute Übereinstimmung von Experiment und Theorie.

Using magic angle spinning technique, the¹H NMR spectra of surface hydroxy groups of different alumina modifications (-, -, and -Al₂O₃) have been studied. Several types of hydroxy groups that differ in their chemical shifts are tentatively attributed to different types of coordination of OH groups to aluminium atoms.

Analysis of thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium

Thermal desorption spectra of oxygen desorbed from rhodium have been analyzed in terms of models accounting for the effect of lateral interactions between adsorbed particles and of their diffusion into the bulk of metal on the desorption kinetics of O₂. Complex configuration of these spectra is ascribed to the processes of formation/decomposition of surface Rh oxides and the diffusion of particles into the near-surface layers of metal and back to the surface.

On the mechanism of alcohol insertion into the carbonyl group in the coordination sphere of Fe(III) tris-hexafluoroacetylacetonate

The kinetics of formation of hemiacetals in the Fe(III) coordination sphere resulting from the reaction of Fe(III) tris-hexafluoroacetylacetonate with methanol has been studied by the stopped-flow method. Two molecules of methanol and coordinated hexafluoroacetylacetonate anion (HFA^–) take part in the rate-determining step. The effect of the second molecule of alcohol can be attributed to catalysis of proton transfer from methanol to the HFA^– ligand through the chain of hydrogen bonds in 6-membered cyclic structures.

Basic condensation of triphenylsilane. II. Kinetics in anhydrous isopropanol and influence of silanol

Condensation of triphenylsilane with isopropanol in presence of isopropoxide has been studied in anhydrous medium and the activation parameters have been measured. Dehydration of the medium has been obtained by means of a pre-reaction of triphenylsilane with the residual water in the solvent. In this medium the reaction is extremely slow, moreover, it is inhibited by silanol whose effect would lower the actual catalyst concentration.
