Direct electrochemistry of catalase on glassy carbon electrodes.

Catalase was investigated as a possible catalyst of the electrochemical reduction of oxygen on glassy carbon electrodes. The presence of catalase dissolved in solution only provoked a moderate current increase, which was fully explained by the catalase-catalysed disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide (Scheme I). When catalase was adsorbed from dimethylsulfoxide on the surface of electrodes that did not undergo any electrochemical pre-treatment (EP), catalase efficiently catalysed oxygen reduction via direct electron transfer from the electrode (Scheme II). The results are discussed with respect to the electrode surface properties and the enzyme structure.     

Immobilization of chiral Rh catalyst on glass and application to asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aryl ketones in aqueous media

A chiral catalyst, Cp＊RhTsDPEN （Cp＊ = pentamethyl cyclopentadiene, TsDPEN = substitutive phenylsulfonyl-l,2-diphenylethylenediamine）, was synthesized and immobilized at the surface of glass. The immobilized catalyst exhibited good catalytic efficiency for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones in water with HCOONa as hydrogen source.     

Hydrogen effects in propylene polymerization reactions with titanium‐based Ziegler–Natta catalysts. II. Mechanism of the chain‐transfer reaction

Hydrogen is a very effective chain‐transfer agent in propylene polymerization reactions with Ti‐based Ziegler–Natta catalysts. However, measurements of the hydrogen concentration effect on the molecular weight of polypropylene prepared with a supported TiCl₄/dibutyl phthalate/MgCl₂ catalyst show a peculiar effect: hydrogen efficiency in the chain transfer significantly decreases with concentration, and at very high concentrations, hydrogen no longer affects the molecular weight of polypropylene. A detailed analysis of kinetic features of chain‐transfer reactions for different types of active centers in the catalyst suggests that chain transfer with hydrogen is not merely the hydrogenolysis reaction of the Ti? C bond in an active center but proceeds with the participation of a coordinated propylene molecule. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 40: 1899–1911, 2002     

XiDehalogenation of Aryl Halides Catalyzed by MontK10 Immobilized PVP-Pd-Sn Catalyst in Aqueous System

Catalytic dehalogenation of organic halides is of great value to the organic synthesis and for the preventing of environmental pollution. Although, in recent years, there are many reports describing dehalogenation of organic halides in the literature1,2,3, most of them were carried out in the organic system,only few examples4,5 of dehalogenation were carried out in aqueous system. The toxic aryl halides may contaminate and harm human being seriously through food chain. Therefore, it is of utmo…     

Polymerization of ethylene using a high-activity Ziegler–Natta catalyst. II. Molecular weight regulation

This article describes studies on the variables that regulate the molecular weight in ethylene polymerization using a highly active Ziegler–Natta catalyst with hydrogen for molecular weight control. The dependence of the degree of polymerization on the concentration of catalyst, cocatalyst, monomer, partial pressure of hydrogen, and temperature has been established. The rate constant for chain transfer with cocatalyst has been evaluated. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Effect of acid density of HZSM-5 on the oligomerization of ethylene in FCC dry gas

The oligomerization of ethylene in FCC dry gas over HZSM-5 catalyst with different Si/Al2 ratios was studied. The effect of acid density of catalyst on the oligomerization of ethylene was discussed. By increasing the acid density of catalyst, ethylene conversion showed a linear increase, while the yields of olefins decreased when the acid density of catalyst exceeded 0.14 mmolNH3/g owing to a promotion of hydrogen transfer reaction. Through comparing the average distance between acid sites on catalyst with kinetic diameters of olefins, it was found that the dimerization of ethylene was not restrained by the sparse distribution of acid sites, while the hydrogen transfer reaction of C3 and C4 olefins was limited. On these bases, a conclusion is proposed that the dimerization of ethylene proceeded via Eley-Rideal mechanism, while the hydrogen transfer reaction of C3 and C4 olefins followed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism.     

Ethylene polymerization studies with supported cyclopentadienyl,arene, and allyl chromium catalysts

Highly active catalysts for low pressure ethylene polymerization are formed when chromocene, bis (benzene)- or bis (cumene)-chromium or tris- or bis (allyl)-chromium compounds are deposited on high surface area silica-alumina or silica supports. Each catalyst type shows its own unique behavior in preparation, polymerization, activity, isomerization, and response to hydrogen as a chain transfer agent. The arene chromium compounds require an acidic support (silicaalumina) or thermal aging with silica to form a highly active catalyst. At 90°C polymerization temperature arene chromium catalysts produced high molecular weight polyethylene and showed, in contrast to supported chromocene catalysts, a much lower response to hydrogen as a chain transfer agent. An increase in polymerization temperature caused a significant decrease in polymer molecular weight. Addition of cyclopentadiene to supported bis (cumene)-chromium catalyst led to a new catalyst which showed a chain transfer response to hydrogen typical of a supported chromocene catalyst. Polymerization activity with tris- or bis (allyl)-chromium appears to depend on the divalent chromium content in the catalyst. Changes in the silica dehydration temperature of supported allyl chromium catalyst have a significant effect on the resulting polymer molecular weight. High molecular weight polymers were formed with catalysts that were prepared using silica dehydration temperatures below about 400°C. Dimers, trimers, and oligomers of ethylene were usually formed with catalysts that were prepared on silica dehydrated much above 400°C. The order of activity of the different types of catalysts was chromocene/silica > chromocene/silica-alumina > bis (arene)-chromium/silica-alumina ? allyl chromium/silica.     

Molecular chemistry of consequence to renewable energy

Energy conversion cycles are aimed at driving unfavorable, small-molecule activation reactions with a photon harnessed directly by a transition-metal catalyst or indirectly by a transition-metal catalyst at the surface of a photovoltaic cell. The construction of such cycles confronts daunting challenges because they rely on chemical transformations not understood at the most basic levels. These transformations include multielectron transfer, proton-coupled electron transfer, and bond-breaking and -making reactions of energy-poor substrates. We have begun to explore these poorly understood areas of molecular science with transition-metal complexes that promote hydrogen production and oxygen bond-breaking and -making chemistry of consequence to water splitting.     

全氢菲在分子筛催化剂上环烷环开环反应的研究

在小型固定流化床(FFB)装置上考察了Y与ZSM-5分子筛催化剂以及Y分子筛催化剂上温度、剂油比对全氢菲裂化环烷环开环反应的影响。结果表明,全氢菲在分子筛催化剂上通过环烷环开环反应生成环己烷、十氢萘等单环或双环环烷烃;单环或双环环烷烃进一步侧链断裂生成2-甲基戊烷、甲基己烷等异构烷烃等,异构化生成二甲基环戊烷、甲乙基环戊烷等烷基环戊烷,氢转移生成苯、甲苯、二甲苯等烷基苯,进行深度氢转移反应生成萘、烷基萘等双环芳烃;另外,全氢菲也会通过脱氢缩合生成菲、芘等三环以上芳烃甚至焦炭等。由于扩散和吸附性能的影响,其裂化开环反应的选择性在Y分子筛催化剂上比在ZSM-5分子筛催化剂上高。因此,全氢菲环烷环开环与脱氢缩合反应的相对比例(s(NRO)/s(DHC))在Y分子筛催化剂上较高;在Y分子筛催化剂上,温度为475~550 ℃、剂油比为3.0~9.0,反应温度升高或者剂油比增加,双分子氢转移以及脱氢缩合反应增强,导致环烷环开环反应产物选择性降低。

New Rh—ZnO／Carbon Nanotubes Catalyst for Methanol Synthesis

A new catalyst for methanol synthesis,ZnO-promoted rhodium supported on carbon nanotubes,was developed.It was found that the Rh-ZnO/CNTs catalyst had high activity of 411.4mg CH3OH/g/cat/h and selectivity of 96.7% for methanol at 1 MPa and 523 K.The activity of this catalyst is much higher than that of NC 207 catalyst at the same reaction conditions.It was suggested that the multi-walled strueture CNTs favored both the couple transfer of the proton and clectron over the surface of the catalyst and the uptake of hydrogen which was favorable to methanol synthesis.

Manganese-Catalyzed β-Methylation of Alcohols by Methanol

We report an earth-abundant-metal-catalyzed double and single methylation of alcohols. A manganese catalyst, which operates at low catalyst loadings and short reaction times, mediates these reactions efficiently. A broad scope of primary and secondary alcohols, including purely aliphatic examples, and 1,2-aminoalcohols can be methylated. Furthermore, alcohol methylation for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals has been demonstrated. The catalyst system tolerates many functional groups among them hydrogenation-sensitive examples and upscaling is easily achieved. Mechanistic investigations are indicative of a borrowing hydrogen or hydrogen autotransfer mechanism involving a bimetallic K-Mn catalyst. The catalyst accepts hydrogen as a proton and a hydride from alcohols efficiently and reacts with a chalcone via hydride transfer.

The reaction mechanism for the organocatalytic ring-opening polymerization of l-lactide using a guanidine-based catalyst: hydrogen-bonded or covalently bound?

We have investigated two alternative mechanisms for the ring-opening polymerization of l-lactide using a guanidine-based catalyst, the first involving acetyl transfer to the catalyst, and the second involving only hydrogen bonding to the catalyst. Using computational chemistry methods, we show that the hydrogen bonding pathway is considerably preferred over the acetyl transfer pathway and that this is consistent with experimental information.     

Enhanced Catalytic Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Phosphorene Nanosheet via Cobalt Intercalation

Searching alternatives to Pt-based catalyst for producing hydrogen via water splitting has gathered enormous attention to develop renewable energy. Phosphorene has been investigated widely for its large surface area, low cost, and high carrier mobility, however, the poor activity in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and low conductivity limit its practical application. Herein, on the basis of first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the catalytic HER in phosphorene can be enhanced significantly with cobalt intercalations. The Co-intercalated phosphorene is metallic with charge transfer from Co atoms to phosphorene, which could enhance the catalytic activity of phosphorene. In addition, the calculated Gibbs free energy of hydrogen adsorption on Co-intercalated phosphorene bilayer is comparable to that on Pt(111) surface, independent of the degree of hydrogen coverage. Our study implies that the Co intercalation provides an effective approach to enhance the catalytic HER inphosphorene.     

煤与废塑料共液化中氢转移的示踪试验研究

采用放射性同位素3H标记的四氢萘溶剂进行了先锋褐煤与低密度聚乙烯（LDPE）的共液化示踪试验,并考察了钼灰（FAMo）和Fe2O3+S催化剂的影响。应用液体闪烁计数器测量了各液化产物中的放射性活度,以研究煤与废塑料共液化中的氢转移。结果表明：在先锋褐煤与LDPE塑料共液化反应的初始阶段,存在着四氢萘溶剂的供氢作用,而且这种供氢作用不受催化剂的影响,只是热力作用的结果。使用加氢蒽油（HAO）和四氢萘（THN）溶剂混和物作为共液化溶剂时,先锋褐煤与LDPE共液化反应初期的溶剂供氢还存在着竞争转移,其主要取决于溶剂的脱氢能力。     

Performance of a zeolite-containing catalyst and catalysts based on noble metals in intermolecular hydrogen transfer between С<Subscript>6</Subscript> hydrocarbons

The activities of a zeolite-containing catalyst and catalysts containing a noble metal in intermolecular hydrogen transfer between С₆ hydrocarbons are compared. The zeolite-containing catalyst is ineffective in hydrogen transfer from cyclohexane to 1-hexene and in cyclohexene conversion at <400°С. Cyclohexene disproportionation at Т < 200°С takes place only over catalysts containing a noble metal. The cyclohexene conversion selectivity depends strongly on the support type. Using deuterated compounds, it has been demonstrated that intermolecular hydrogen transfer via the dehydrogenation–hydrogenation mechanism involves only the initial cyclohexene.
