Thermal decompositions of Y,La and lanthanide 3-hydroxybenzoates in air and nitrogen atmospheres

When heated, the 3-hydroxybenzoates of Y, Sm and Eu(III) decompose in two steps. The hydrates first lose crystallization water and the anhydrous complexes are then transformed to oxides in air, and to mixtures of oxide and C in nitrogen atmosphere. When heated in air, the pentahydrates of La, Pr and Nd are dehydrated in two stages and the anhydrous complexes are then transformed to oxides; when heated in nitrogen, they are dehydrated in one step and then decomposed to mixtures of oxides and C.

Zusammenfassung Die 3-Hydroxybenzoate von Y, Sm und Eu(III) zersetzen sich beim Erhitzen in zwei Schritten. Die Hydrate verlieren zunächst Kristallwasser und die wasserfreien Komplexe werden in Luft in die Oxide und in Stickstoffatmosphäre in ein Gemisch des betreffenden Oxids und Kohlenstoff überführt. Beim Erhitzen in Luft werden die Pentahydrate von La, Pr und Nd in zwei Schritten dehydratisiert und die wasserfreien Komplexe in die Oxide überführt; beim Erhitzen in Stickstoff erfolgt dagegen die Dehydratisierung in nur einem Schritt und Endprodukt der Zersetzung ist ein Gemisch von Kohlenstoff und dem entsprechenden Oxid.

Kinetic studies of Pt/Al2O3 catalyst pellets with nonuniform activity

Catalysts with nonuniform distribution of the catalytically active component (Pt) over their porous support (Al₂O₃) have been studied. A nonuniform activity distribution changes not only the reaction rate but also the kinetics can be different on these catalysts.

Hreels studies of Hads effect on NO adsorption on Pt(111)

HREELS studies of NO molecular adsorption on clean and hydrogen covered Pt(111) have revealed that a reversible transition between bridge (₁) and on-top (₂) states of NO_ads is realized in the (NO+H₂)/Pt(111) system. In the presence of H_ads the adsorption of NO in the ₁ state is inhibited and the main state of NO_ads is ₂. Upon heating the layer (₂-NO_ads+H_ads) hydrogen desorption is accompanied by on-top to bridge state conversion.

Lattice oxygen removal from nearly stoichiometric V2O5

The activation energy of the removal of lattice oxygen connected with slight thermal dissociation of V₂O₅ was measured by the TPD method. The small value (24.7 kcal/mol O₂) of this energy is discussed as the result of bivariant equilibria V₂O_5–x–O₂ within the range x<0.01.

The effect of defect structure due to doping and irradiation on the thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate

The thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate was investigated as a function of doping and there seems to be a correlation between the polarizing nature of the dopant cation and the thermal degradation temperature of potassium chlorate. In particular, transition metal cations influence strongly the temperature of decomposition. Irradiation and mechanical shock defects influence also the process. A possible mechanism in terms of the semi-conductive properties of the defective chlorates is discussed.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Kaliumchlorat wurde in Abhängigkeit von der Zugabe von Zusätzen untersucht und es scheint eine Korrelation zwischen der polarisierenden Beschaffenheit des Additivkations und der thermischen Zersetzungstemperatur von Kaliumchlorat zu bestehen. Besonders die Übergangsmetallkationen beeinflussen die Zersetzungstemperatur stark. Bestrahlung und mechanische Stoßdefekte beeinflussen den Vorgang ebenfalls. Ein möglicher Mechanismus wird anhand der Halbleiter-Eigenschaften der defekten Chlorate erörtert.

Résumé On a étudié la décomposition thermique du chlorate de potassium en fonction de l'ajout d'additifs. Il semble qu'une corrélation existe entre la nature polarisante du cation de l'additif et la température de la dégradation thermique du chlorate de potassium. Enparticulier, ce sont les cations des métaux de transition, qui exercent une forte influence sur la température de décomposition. L'irradiation et des défauts causés par choc mécanique influencent aussi le processus. On discute un mécanisme possible à partir des propriétés semi-conductrices des chlorates présentant des défauts.

Acetoxylation of olefins catalyzed by a palladium(II)-heteropolyacid system

The catalytic acetoxylation of ethylene and propylene occurs under the action of oxygen in the presence of Pd(II)+HPA-6, where HPA-6 is the heteropolyacid H₉PMo₆V₆O₄₀. In addition to the products of acetoxylation (alkenyl and allyl acetates), oxidation products (acetaldehyde and acetone) are also formed. The selectivity of acetoxylation increases upon the addition of NaOAc.

Novel evidence for the selective behaviour of tungsten carbide in liquid phase heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation

Liquid (aqueous) phase catalytic hydrogenation of compounds containing two oxo-groups in -position (biacetyl, glyoxal, alloxan) was studied in the presence of tungsten carbide catalyst. It has been shown that only one of the oxo-groups is affected in the course of the process and is transformed into a >CH–OH group. Comparative studies carried out in the presence of platinum catalyst attest the selective behaviour of tungsten carbide.

Catalyst deactivation in toluene steam dealkylation

Two deactivation factors of Rh/-Al₂O₃ catalysts in toluene steam dealkylation are examined: deactivation during working and sulfur poisoning. Onstream deactivation is only due to coke deposit. Specific activity per free exposed fraction of the metal is constant. Sulfur is a strong non-selective poison which may hinder coke formation.

Thermal studies on some group VIII complexes with biologically active ligands

The mode of decomposition of complexes involving biologically important ligands such as thiouracil and xanthine coordinated to some group VIII metals has been studies by thermogravimetry. The results show that the complex tris-(dithiouracil) trichlororhodium(III) is monomeric and not polymeric as suggested previously. The decomposition behavior of the complex indicates that after the initial loss of a ligand molecule to form a four-coordinate complex, further ligand removal takes place in one sharp step. In the case of the complexes bis-(3-methylxanthine) diammineplatinum(II) and bis-(9-methylxanthine) diamminepalladium(II), ammonia comes off first, followed by rapid loss of the remaining xanthine ligands. Moreover, the activation energy determined for the main decomposition step suggests that the breakdown of the xanthine ligand involves the initial cleavage of the pyrimidine moiety, followed closely by loss of the remaining imidazole portion.

Zusammenfassung Die Art der Zersetzung von Komplexen einiger Metalle der VIII. Gruppe mit biologisch wichtigen Liganden, wie Thiouracil and Xanthin, wurde thermogravimetrisch untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß der Komplex Tris-(dithiouracil) trichlororhodium(III) monomer und nicht — wie früher vermutet — polymer ist. Das Zersetzungsverhalten des Komplexes zeigt, daß nach dem zu einem tetrakoordinierten Komplex führenden Verlust eines Ligandmoleküls die Abgabe eines weiteren Liganden in einem scharfen Schritt erfolgt. Im Falle der Komplexe Bis-(3-methylxanthin) diamminplatin(II) und Bis-(9-methylxanthin) diamminpalladium(II) erfolgt zunächst eine Abspaltung von Ammoniak, der ein schneller Verlust der verbleibenden Xanthinliganden folgt. Die für die Hauptzersetzungsreaktion bestimmte Aktivierungsenergie läßt vermuten, daß der Abbau der Xanthinliganden über eine Spaltung des Pyrimidinteils verläuft, der schnell die Abgabe des verbleibenden Imidazolteils folgt.
