Two crystalline modifications of RuO4

RuO₄ was prepared by oxidation of elemental ruthenium. Two different modifications were obtained and investigated by X-ray single crystal diffraction. RuO₄-I has cubic symmetry , and two independent tetrahedral molecules are present in the unit cell. Within the standard uncertainties in both molecules the distances Ru-O are 1.695 Å. The second modification, RuO₄-II, is monoclinic and isotypic with OsO₄. There is one independent molecule in the unit cell, which shows distances Ru-O of 1.697 and 1.701 Å, respectively.     

WCl6/LiAlH4 Promoted transformation of imines into secondary and tertiary amines

The reaction of WCl₆/LiAlH₄ with imines, R′NCHR, gave tertiary amines, R′N(CH₂R)₂, and secondary amines, R′NHCHRCH₂R. Isotope labeling experiments revealed that the reaction involved two types of azatungstenacyclobutanes, $\text{WNR′CHRC}$HR and $\text{WCHRNR′C}$HR, produced from the reaction of an alkylidene tungsten intermediate with the imine CN double bond. Formation of these metallacyclobutanes is highly dependent on the solvent used.

The He(I) photoelectron spectra of OsO4, and RuO4

The photoelectron spectra of ruthenium tetroxide and osmium tetroxide excited by He(I) radiation are reported. From their interpretation it follows that the first two strong low energy transitions in the electronic absorption spectra of OsO₄, RuO₄, TcO^?₄, ReO^?₄, MoO^2?₄ and WO^2?₄ can be assigned to t₁ → 2e and 3t₂ → 2e respectively.     

载体焙烧温度对RuO_2/TiO_2催化HCl氧化性能的影响

以不同温度焙烧TiO(OH)_2得到的TiO_2为载体,采用湿法浸渍法制备RuO_2/TiO_2-C(C=450、550、650及750℃)催化剂,利用XRD、N_2吸附-脱附、TEM和H_2-TPR等表征手段研究催化剂的物理化学性质,并对其在HCl氧化反应中的催化性能进行考察.结果表明:载体焙烧温度对催化剂的结构与活性有显著影响.随着载体焙烧温度(≤650℃)的升高,RuO_2与TiO_2之间的晶面匹配度逐渐变高,促进了RuO_2在TiO_2表面的分散,其中RuO_2/TiO_2-650催化剂表现出最优的催化性能.而当载体焙烧温度过高时,RuO_2/TiO_2-750催化剂的反应活性大大下降,可能是由于过高的焙烧温度导致载体出现严重的烧结团聚现象,以及RuO_2与TiO_2之间过强的相互作用,阻碍了HCl氧化反应的进行.此外,减小RuO_2的粒径可以促进HCl氧化活性的提升.动力学结果显示,催化剂表面的HCl氧化反应主要受O_2分压的影响,表明O_2从催化剂表面的解离吸附为决速步骤.     

One-step conversion to tertiary amines: InBr3/Et3SiH-mediated reductive deoxygenation of tertiary amides

We have developed a simple and practical procedure for a direct reductive conversion from a variety of tertiary amides to the corresponding tertiary amines using an InBr₃/Et₃SiH reducing system. This reducing system can be applied to the reduction of a secondary amide and provides a more efficient alternative to conventional methods that use aluminum and boron hydrides.

Photo-depositing Ru and RuO2 on Anatase TiO2 Nanosheets as Co-catalysts for Photocatalytic O2 Evolution from Water Oxidation

TiO₂ nanosheets mainly exposed (001) facet were prepared through a hydrothermal process with HF as the morphology-directing agent. Ru and RuO₂ species were loaded by photo-deposition methods to prepare the photocatalysts. The structural features of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray di raction, transmission electron microscopy, inductively cou-pled plasma atomic emission spectrum, and H₂ Temperature-programmed reduction. The photocatalytic property was studied by the O₂ evolution from water oxidation, which was examined with respect to the in uences of Ru contents as well as the oxidation and reduction treatments, suggesting the charge separation effect of the Ru species co-catalysts on di erent facets of TiO₂ nanosheets. In contrast to Ru/TiO₂ and RuO₂/TiO₂ with the single deposited co-catalyst, the optimized catalyst 0.5%Ru-1.0%RuO₂/TiO₂ with dual co-catalysts achieved a much improved catalytic performance, in terms of the synergetic effect of dual co-catalysts and the enhanced charge separation effect.     

nBu4NI-catalyzed oxidative amidation of aldehydes with tertiary amines

Higher energy bands in the electronic absorption spectra of CrO4, RuO4, OsO4, WS4, MoS4, WSe4 and MoSe4. A note on the assignment of the electronic spectra of closed shell tetroxo-, tetrathio- and tetraselenoanions

The electronic spectra of several closed shell tetroxo-, tetrathio- and tetraselenoanions have been remeasured and some more bands in the higher energy range were obtained. An assignment of the first three bands basing on empirical assumptions is proposed.     

Reactivity of RuO species in RuO2/CeO2 catalysts prepared by a wet reduction method

The paper deals with the reactivity of RuO₂/CeO₂ prepared by a wet reduction method: ruthenium was supported on Ce(OH)₃, which was precipitated by alkali-hydrolysis of Ce(NO₃)₃, under a reduction condition with formaldehyde at pH 11 and transformed into RuO₂/CeO₂ catalysts by calcination in air at 773 K. The catalysts were investigated with an ESR technique and were tested for oxidation of propylene. They had no ESR signals by themselves at room temperature, but gave two sets of anisotropic signals upon contact with propylene. These signals were derived from the reaction products between RuO and propylene. The intensities of the signals were kept unchanged at room temperature for more than 1 h in the absence of excess propylene. The signals decayed in the presence of excess propylene and the upfield signal decayed more rapidly. A prior heating of the catalyst in air at 473 K or above caused the increase in the intensity of the upfield signal. The time course of the signal changes discriminated between ethylene and olefins with allylic hydrogen toward RuO species.     

The enthalpies of formation of XeF6(c), XeF4(c), XeF2(c), and PF3(g)

The energies of reaction of XeF₆(c), XeF₄(c), and XeF₂(c) with PF₃(g) were measured in a bomb calorimeter. These results were combined with the enthalpy of fluorination of PF₃(g), which was redetermined to be −(151.98 ± 0.07) kcal_th mol⁻¹, to derive (at 298.15 K) ΔH_f^o(XeF₆, c, I) = −(80.82 ± 0.53) kcal_th mol⁻¹, ΔH_f^o(XeF₄, c) = −(63.84 ± 0.21) kcal_th mol⁻¹, and ΔH_f^o(XeF₂, c) = −(38.90 ± 0.21) kcal_th mol⁻¹. The enthalpies of formation of the solid xenon fluorides were combined with reported enthalpies of sublimation to derive (at 298.15 K) ΔH_f^o(XeF₆, g) = −(66.69 ± 0.61) kcal_th mol⁻¹, ΔH_f^o(XeF₄, g) = −(49.28 ± 0.22) kcal_th mol⁻¹, and ΔH_f^o(XeF₂, g) = −(25.58 ± 0.21) kcal_th mol⁻¹. The average bond dissociation enthalpies,〈D^o〉(XeF, 298.15 K), are (29.94 ± 0.16), (31.15 ± 0.13), and (31.62 ± 0.16) kcal_th mol⁻¹ in XeF₆(g), XeF₄(g), and XeF₂(g), respectively. The enthalpy of formation of PF₃(g) was determined to be −(228.8 ± 0.3) kcal_th mol⁻¹.     

Atomic-level coupled RuO2/BaRuO3 heterostructure for efficient alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction

The slow water dissociation is the rate-determining step that slows down the reaction rate in alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction(HER). Optimizing the surface electronic structure of the catalyst to lower the energy barrier of water dissociation and regulating the binding strength of adsorption intermediates are crucial strategy for boosting the catalytic performance of HER.

Analysis of (NH4)2SO4/(NH4)H2PO4 mixtures by thermogravimetry and X-ray diffraction

(NH₄)₂SO₄ and (NH₄)H₂PO₄ are the principal components in the powder material used in fire extinguishers. In this paper the mutual influence in their thermal decomposition is investigated by thermogravimetry. Two methods for the quantification of both salts in mixtures (NH₄)₂SO₄/(NH₄)H₂PO₄ are proposed. The first employs thermogravimetry and is based on the measurement of the mass fraction in the 500-550 °C interval, once (NH₄)₂SO₄ has totally decomposed to yield gaseous products. The second uses some selected peaks in the X-ray diffractogram.
