H2 evolution from H2O/H2O2/MWO4 (M = Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+) systems by photocatalytic reaction

H₂ evolution from H₂O/H₂O₂/MWO₄ (M = Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺) systems was studied for the first time. The MWO₄ (M = Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺) powders were synthesized by a salt aqueous solution reaction followed by calcination. The light band gaps of the FeWO₄, CoWO₄, and NiWO₄ powders determined from UV–vis absorption spectra were 1.83, 2.58, and 2.86 eV, respectively. The experiment on the H₂ evolution from H₂O/H₂O₂/MWO₄ (M = Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺) systems indicated that the efficiency increased in order of FeWO₄ > CoWO₄ > NiWO₄ and was larger under sunlight with strong intensity than under visible light.

Transition metal complexes derived from N-isonicotinamido-N′-benzoylthiocarbamide (H2IBTC)

Summary The synthesis and characterization of Cr^III, Mn^II, Fe^III, Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II, Zn^II, Cd^II and UO _inf2 ^sup2+ complexes of N-isonicotinamido-_N-benzoylthiocarbamide (H₂IBTC) are reported. I.r. spectral data show that the ligand behaves in a bidentate, tridentate and/or tetradentate manner. Different stereochemistries are proposed for Cr^III, Mn^II, Fe^III, Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II complexes on the basis of spectral and magnetic studies. The i.r. data indicate that the carbonyl oxygen of the benzoyl moiety is the backbone of chelation in most complexes.     

Photocatalytic Synthesis of Hydrocarbon Oxygenates from C2H6 and CO2 over Pd-MoO3/SiO2 Catalyst

Pd-MoO3/SiO2 catalyst has been prepared using the method of incipient wetness impregnation. The photo absorbing behaviors and chemisorbing properties of the catalyst have been characterized by UV-vis spectra and TPD-MS experiments. The results indicated that metal Pd loaded on MoOe/SiO2 has a significant effect on the photo absorbing performance of MoO3/SiO2, and an obvious blue shift of the absorption edge is produced. Under UV irradiation, the chemisorption state of CO2 undergoes decomposing process to form CO at 481 K, and a two-site adsorption state of ethane can be formed at around 496 K. Photo-oxidation of ethane using carbon dioxide can mainly produce propanal, ethanol and acetaldehyde in the temperature range of 353-423 K. The presence of metal Pd improves the catalytic activity remarkably.     

Synthesis of calcium titanate from [Ca(H2O)3]2[Ti2(O2)2O(NC6H6O6)2]·2H2O as a cheap single-source precursor

Calcium titanate (CaTiO₃) was conveniently synthesized by thermal decomposition of a single-source precursor [Ca(H₂O)₃]₂[Ti₂(O₂)₂O(NC₆H₆O₆)₂]·2H₂O at low temperature. This single-source precursor was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrum, thermal gravimetric analysis and X-ray single crystal diffraction.

The morphology, microstructure, and crystallinity of the resulting CaTiO₃ materials have been characterized by SEM and TEM. The BET measurement revealed that the CaTiO₃ powders had a surface area of 14.0 m²/g. In addition, the microwave dielectric properties of the resulting CaTiO₃ material have been measured.

Calculation of multiple initial state selected reaction probabilities from Chebyshev flux-flux correlation functions: influence of reactant internal excitations on H + H2O → OH + H2

A Chebyshev-based flux-flux correlation function approach is introduced for calculating multiple initial state selected reaction probabilities for bimolecular reactions. Based on the quantum transition-state theory, this approach propagates, with the exact Chebyshev propagator, transition-state wave packets towards the reactant asymptote. It is accurate and efficient if many initial state selected reaction probabilities are needed. This approach is applied to the title reaction to elucidate the influence of the H(2)O ro-vibrational states on its reactivity. Results from several potential energy surfaces are compared.     

Structure of (C3H5NH3)2H2P2O7·H2O

The bis(cyclopropylammonium)dihydrogenodiphosphate monohydrate is a new diphosphate associated with the organic molecule C₃H₅NH₂. We report the chemical preparation and the crystal structure of this organic cation diphosphate. (C₃H₅NH₃)₂H₂P₂O₇.H₂O is orthorhombic (S.G. : P2₁2₁2₁), with Z = 4 and the following unit-cell parameters : a = 4.828(1) Å, b = 11.011(1) Å, c = 25.645(2) Å. The P₂O₇ groups and H₂O water molecules form a succession of bidimensional layers perpendicular to the c axis. The organic cations ensure the three-dimensional cohesion by NH-O hydrogen bonds.     

Thermogravimetric studies of the synthesis of cas from gypsum, CaSo4·2H2O and phosphogypsum

Using a heating rate of 2°C min^–1, CaS reacts with oxygen in air from 700°C to form CaSO₄, with a complete conversion at 1100°C. Synthesis of CaS from the reaction between CaSO₄ containing compounds and carbon compounds in air would not be possible, as the carbon reacts from 600°C with oxygen in the air to give CO₂. Heating stoichiometric amounts of carbon and pure CaSO₄, synthetic gypsum or phosphogypsum in a nitrogen atmosphere, results in the formation of CaS from 850°C. Using a heating rate of 10°C min^–1, the formation of CaS is completed at 1080°C. Addition of 5% Fe₂O₃ as a catalyst lowers the starting temperature of the reaction to 750°C. Activation energy values at different fraction reaction values () differ between 340 and 400 kJ mol^–1. The relationship between the activation energy values and conversion () indicates that the reaction proceeds via multiple steps.     

Bimolecular reaction rates from ring polymer molecular dynamics: application to H + CH4 → H2 + CH3

In a recent paper, we have developed an efficient implementation of the ring polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD) method for calculating bimolecular chemical reaction rates in the gas phase, and illustrated it with applications to some benchmark atom-diatom reactions. In this paper, we show that the same methodology can readily be used to treat more complex polyatomic reactions in their full dimensionality, such as the hydrogen abstraction reaction from methane, H + CH(4) → H(2) + CH(3). The present calculations were carried out using a modified and recalibrated version of the Jordan-Gilbert potential energy surface. The thermal rate coefficients obtained between 200 and 2000 K are presented and compared with previous results for the same potential energy surface. Throughout the temperature range that is available for comparison, the RPMD approximation gives better agreement with accurate quantum mechanical (multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree) calculations than do either the centroid density version of quantum transition state theory (QTST) or the quantum instanton (QI) model. The RPMD rate coefficients are within a factor of 2 of the exact quantum mechanical rate coefficients at temperatures in the deep tunneling regime. These results indicate that our previous assessment of the accuracy of the RPMD approximation for atom-diatom reactions remains valid for more complex polyatomic reactions. They also suggest that the sensitivity of the QTST and QI rate coefficients to the choice of the transition state dividing surface becomes more of an issue as the dimensionality of the reaction increases.

Capture and dissociation in the complex-forming CH + H2 → CH2 + H, CH + H2 reactions

The rate coefficients for the capture process CH + H(2)→ CH(3) and the reactions CH + H(2)→ CH(2) + H (abstraction), CH + H(2) (exchange) have been calculated in the 200-800 K temperature range, using the quasiclassical trajectory (QCT) method and the most recent global potential energy surface. The reactions, which are of interest in combustion and in astrochemistry, proceed via the formation of long-lived CH(3) collision complexes, and the three H atoms become equivalent. QCT rate coefficients for capture are in quite good agreement with experiments. However, an important zero point energy (ZPE) leakage problem occurs in the QCT calculations for the abstraction, exchange and inelastic exit channels. To account for this issue, a pragmatic but accurate approach has been applied, leading to a good agreement with experimental abstraction rate coefficients. Exchange rate coefficients have also been calculated using this approach. Finally, calculations employing QCT capture/phase space theory (PST) models have been carried out, leading to similar values for the abstraction rate coefficients as the QCT and previous quantum mechanical capture/PST methods. This suggests that QCT capture/PST models are a good alternative to the QCT method for this and similar systems.
