Effect of the Support in de-NOx HC-SCR Over Transition Metal Catalysts

Several catalysts based on transition metals (Cu, Co, Fe) and different supports (ZSM-5, activated carbon, Al₂O₃) have been tested by Temperature-Programmed Reaction (TPR) experiments for the selective catalytic reduction of NO_x with propene in the presence of excess oxygen, simulating lean-burn conditions. The activity order with respect to the metal was CuFe>Co for all supports used. ZSM-5 catalysts have a superior behavior over Al₂O₃, as observed for noble metal catalysts. Application of activated carbon as a support is not practical due to its consumption at the reaction temperatures. The selectivity to N₂ of the catalysts was also independent of the support, being higher than 95% in all the cases.     

Highly Active and Stable Pt-USY in the Low-Temperature de-NOx HC-SCR

Selective catalytic reduction of NO_x by propene has been investigated on Pt-USY and compared to other Pt-catalysts. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, Ar adsorption at 87 K, TEM, and CO chemisorption, and tested in a gas mixture system in excess oxygen. Pt-USY shows an excellent activity in the reaction, with a molar NO_x conversion of 90% at 475 K. Stability during time-on-stream and resistance to SO₂ and H₂O in the feed stream has also been investigated. Pt-USY performs better under lean-burn conditions than other Pt-catalysts on ZSM-5, Al₂O₃, or SiO₂. The selectivity to N₂ was similar for all the catalysts (30%), the other major product being N₂O.     

Artificial neural network modelling applied on NOx reduction with octane in excess oxygen over Ag/Al2O3

A silver/alumina catalyst was tested for its NO_x reduction activity during oxygen-rich conditions and during variation in the input parameters, which were nitric oxide, octane and oxygen. The experimental data were investigated by means of artificial neural networks. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Protection of Ag Clusters by Metal-Oxo Modules

Monodisperse and atomically precise Ag nanoclusters have attracted considerable recent research interest. A conventional silver cluster usually consists of a silver metallic kernel and an organic peripheral ligand shell. Nevertheless, the present inevitable problem is the unsatisfied stability of such nanoclusters. In this concept, we will give an introduction to Ag clusters protected by metal-oxo modules, which exhibit enhanced stability and unique properties. Accordingly, three different types of clusters are summarized: (1) Ag clusters protected by mononuclear oxometallates; (2) Ag clusters protected by block-like metal-oxo clusters; (3) Ag clusters protected by hollow-like metal-oxo clusters. The aim of this concept is to offer possible general guidance and insight into future rational design of more metal-oxo clusters protected silver clusters or even other coinage metal nanoclusters.     

New Hexazirconium Clusters Containing Hydrogen Atoms

Reduction of ZrBr₄ with HSnBu₃ yielded a blue solid. When this blue solid was treated with PMe₃, a hexanuelear cluster [Zr₆Br₁₄H₄( PMe₃)₄] (2) was isolated. Reaction of the blue solid with [PPh₄]Br in CH₂Cl₂ resulted in the formation of a paramagnetic and unstable cluster anion, [Zr₆Br₁₈H₅]^2– (3), which disproportionated to form a new cluster anion, [Zr₆Br₁₈H₅]^3– (4) and some Zr(IV) species. Compounds containing 4 can also be obtained from reaction of the blue solid with Br^– in MeCN. Reduction of ZrCl₄ with HsnBu₃ gave a red–brown solid, and [Zr₆Cl₁₄H₄(AsMe₃)₄] (9) and [Zr₅Cl₁₂H₄(AsMe₃)₅](8) were obtained by reaction of the red–brown solid with AsMe₃. No cluster compounds containing amine ligands were obtained in the reaction of the red–brown solid with amines; only compounds containing the [Zr₆Cl₁₈ H₅]^3– anion and ammonium cations were isolated. Altogether ten products were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and where possible, by ¹H NMR studies.

Ag2 and Ag3 Clusters: Synthesis,Characterization, and Interaction with DNA

Subnanometric samples, containing exclusively Ag₂ and Ag₃ clusters, were synthesized for the first time by kinetic control using an electrochemical technique without the use of surfactants or capping agents. By combination of thermodynamic and kinetic measurements and theoretical calculations, we show herein that Ag₃ clusters interact with DNA through intercalation, inducing significant structural distortion to the DNA. The lifetime of Ag₃ clusters in the intercalated position is two to three orders of magnitude longer than for classical organic intercalators, such as ethidium bromide or proflavine.

Electronic processes in NO dimerization on Ag and Cu clusters: DFT and MRMP2 studies

Experimentally observed NO dimerization on Cu and Ag surfaces is surprising because binding energy of NO dimer is very small in gas phase. MRMP2, MP2 to MP4, CCSD(T), and DFT studies of NO dimerization on Ag₂ and Cu₂ clusters disclosed that the CCSD(T) method could be applied to this reaction on Ag₂ and Cu₂ unlike NO dimerization in gas phase which exhibits significantly large nondynamical electron correlation effect. Charge-transfer (CT) from Ag₂ and Cu₂ to NO moieties plays important role in N N bond formation between two NO molecules. This CT considerably decreases nondynamical correlation effect. Also, the DFT method could be applied to this NO dimerization, if appropriate DFT functional is used; all pure functionals examined here and most of the hybrid functionals underestimated the activation barrier (E_a), while only ωB97X provided E_a similar to CCSD(T)-calculated value. NO dimerization on similar Cu₂ and Cu₅ needs moderately larger E_a than those on Ag₂ and Ag₅, because frontier orbital participating in the CT exists at lower energy in Cu₂ and Cu₅ than in Ag₂ and Ag₅. The E_a decreases in the order Ag₂ >> Ag₃₈ > Ag₇ ∼ Ag₅ and the reaction energy (ΔE) is positive (endothermic) in Ag₂ but significantly negative in Ag₃₈, Ag₇, and Ag₅, indicating that various Ag clusters could be effective for NO dimerization except for Ag₂. The decreasing order of E_a and increasing order of exothermicity are attributed to increasing order of the frontier orbital energy of Ag₂ < Ag₃₈ < Ag₇ ∼ Ag₅. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cluster Size Effects of Platinum Oxide as Active Sites in Hydrogen Evolution Reactions

The successful design of photocatalytic hydrogen generation from water relies on a thorough understanding of the role of cocatalyst. The photoreactivity was studied as a function of the cluster size of the oxidized platinum cocatalyst. The maximum turnover frequency is found on the smallest‐sized cocatalyst. This effect can be attributed to the size‐dependent proton adsorption.

The Ag⁺ cations are trigonal antiprismatically coordinated in ( I ) with d(Ag–Br) = 2.855 Å, but distorted trigonally planar in ( II ) with d(Ag–Br) = 2.588–2.672 Å. The structural details of hitherto known compounds with [W₆Br₁₄] anions will be discussed.

Facile Synthesis of Porous Ag Crystals as SERS Sensor for Detection of Five Methamphetamine Analogs

Porous noble metal nanomaterials have attracted extensive attention due to their high specific surface area and surface plasmon resonance effect. However, it is difficult to form porous structures due to the high mobility and low reduction potential of noble metal precursors. In this article, we developed a facile method for preparing porous Ag with a controllable structure at room temperature. Two kinds of Ag crystals with different porous structures were successfully prepared by using AgCl cubes as sacrificial templates. Through the galvanic replacement reaction of Zn and AgCl, Ag crystals with a sponge-like porous structure were successfully prepared. Additionally, using NaBH₄ as the reducing agent, we prepared granular porous Ag cubes by optimizing the amount of reducing agent. Both the sponge-like and granular porous Ag cubes have clean and accessible surfaces. In addition, we used the prepared two porous Ag cubes as substrate materials for SERS detection of five kinds of methamphetamine analogs. The experimental results show that the enhancement effect of granular porous Ag is better than that of sponge-like porous Ag. Furthermore, we probed the hot spot distribution of granular porous Ag by Raman mapping. By using granular porous Ag as the substrate material, we have achieved trace detection of 5 kinds of methamphetamine analogs including Ephedrine, Amphetamine, N-Methyl-1-(benzofuran-5-yl)propan-2-amine (5-MAPB), N-Methyl-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)propan-2-amine (PMMA) and N-Methyl-1-(4-fluorophenyl)propan-2-amine (4-FMA). Furthermore, to achieve qualitative differentiation of analogs with similar structures we performed density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations on the Raman spectra of the above analogs. The DFT calculations provided the vibrational frequencies, Raman activities, and normal mode assignment for each analog, enabling the qualitative differentiation of the above analogs.
