Preparation of a Ru/Al2O3 catalyst from Ru3(CO)12 infrared and XPS study

A supported ruthenium catalyst on alumina prepared from Ru₃(CO)₁₂ has been studied by infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The triatomic cluster is retained on the support but breaks down at 150°C. Complete elimination of the carbonyl groups requires heating at 350°C under vacuum. XPS studies show that the decomposed catalyst does not change on further reduction in H₂ at 400°C. The ruthenium atoms remain trapped within the pores of the support.

Hydrogenation of carbon monoxide catalysts prepared by pyrolysis of Co2(CO)8 on various oxide supports

Catalysts prepared by pyrolysis of Co₂(CO)₈ on oxide supports have been studied in the hydrogenation of CO. It is shown that MgO and -Al₂O₃-based catalysts are less active than those supported on SiO₂, TiO₂ and ZrO₂. The application of -Al₂O₃ as a support increases the relative yield of light hydrocarbons.

CO/H2 and CO2/H2 reactions with amorphous carbon-metal catalysts

By metal impregnation of selected naturally occurring organic materials followed by controlled carbonization, metal semicoke catalysts can be readily prepared. These catalysts have been tested in the synthesis of hydrocarbons and alcohols from CO/H₂ and CO₂/H₂ mixtures. Fe and Co preparations have been used. Relatively high temperatures are required when using these catalysts, which are quite active for synthesis using CO₂ and H₂. The pressure (5150 kPa) is very favorable both for the synthesis of liquid hydrocarbons (C₅–C₃₀) and alcohols (C₁–C₅).

Following hydrogen treatments at high temperature a decrease in hydrogen chemisorption at room temperature is observed in almost all group VIII elements supported on SiO₂ or Al₂O₃. The effect is attributed to self inhibition by strongly chemisorbed hydrogen on the metals.

Mechanism of methane photooxidation on V/SiO2 catalyst

CH₄ photooxidation on V/SiO₂ catalyst in the presence of gaseous oxygen has been studied by the mass-spectometric method. It has been established that CO₂ forms due to the interaction of CH₄ with surface oxygen anions bonded to vanadium ions. Photodecomposition of V⁴⁺O ₂ ^– species formed in O₂ adsorption on reduced vanadium ions leads to the reoxidation of the latter.

Cyclohexane photooxygenation by air oxygen in CH2Cl2 in the presence of chromium oxocomplex-iodosylbenzene system

Cyclohexane is oxidized by air oxygen in CH₂Cl₂ solution to yield cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone and cyclohexyl chloride when irradiated by light (>310 nm) in the presence of (Bu₄N)₂CrO₄ or (Bu₃SnO)₂CrO₂. The addition of PhIO greatly accelerates the reaction and increases the yield of products. The reaction mixture contains neither cyclohexanol nor cyclohexanone when the photoreaction in the presence of the Cr(VI)–PhIO system is carried out in argon atmosphere. Hence neither iodosylbenzene nor oxochromium compounds can be oxygen atom donors in alkane oxygenation. The accelerating effect of iodosylbenzene may be due to the enhanced oxidizing power of photo-excited oxochromium species when coordinated to iodosylbenzene.
