Sorption of H2, O2 and CO on bimetallic catalysts Pd?Ag/Al2O3 over a wide temperature range

Adsorption of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon monoxide on Pd–Ag/Al₂O₃ catalysts of different compositions within the temperature range from 293 to 773 K has been investigated. Adsorption measurements have been carried out by the pulse chromatographic method. The results obtained reflect interactions of the above adsorbates with the alloy surface, strongly enriched in silver atoms, as a result of surface segregation processes.

On the sub-Tg annealing of uniaxially oriented and unoriented atactic polystyrene

DSC analysis was performed on uniaxially oriented and unoriented atactic polystyrene samples prior to and after annealing at 80 °C. With increasing annealing times, an endothermic peak appeared, whose area increased with the duration of the annealing period. No difference was found between the endotherm areas for the oriented and the unoriented polymer.The DSC curve of the unannealed oriented polystyrene exhibited a relaxation exotherm. DSC and relaxation studies indicated that this relaxation exotherm was independent of the main chain orientation; it may rather be due to sample densification.

Zusammenfassung Uniaxial orientierte und unorientierte ataktische Polystyrenproben wurden vor und nach dem Tempern bei 80° mittels DSC untersucht. Mit länger werdender Temperungszeit erscheint in endothermer Peak, dessen Fläche mit der Dauer der Temperungsperiode ansteigt. Die Flächen der endothermen Peaks von orientierten und unorientierten Polymeren unterscheiden sich nicht. Die DSC-Kurve von ungetempertem orientiertem Polystyren zeigt einen exothermen Relaxationseffekt. DSC und Relaxationsuntersuchungen ergaben, daß dieser exotherme Relaxationseffekt unabhängig von der Orientierung der Hauptkette ist und eher einer Probeverdichtung zuzuschreiben ist.

Studies on the catalytic oxidation of propylene on ferric molybdate

Ferric molybdate is less selective in the partial oxidation of propylene than bismuth molybdate. Its catalytic behavior is similar to that observed on other transition metal molybdates. The intrafacial nature of the reaction is established through kinetic and adsorption measurements.

Catalytic hydrogenation of olefins with the VCl4?Mg?H2 system in tetrahydrofuran

The hydrogenation of olefins with the VCl₄–Mg–H₂ system in tetrahydrofuran was examined. The yield was found to depend on the Mg: VCl₄ mole ratio. The maximum yield of cyclohexene hydrogenation is achieved at C₆H₁₀/VCl₄=4. Addition of AlCl₃ or triphenylphosphine increases the yield of hydrogenation to a mole ratio C₆H₁₂/VCl₄=7.

Non-catalyzed oscillation reaction in the aniline-KBrO3?H2SO4 system. II. Reaction products and their oscillating behavior

By means of thin-layer and gas chromatography the reaction products have been determined in the oscillation system of aniline, KBrO₃ and H₂SO₄. These products include: 2-bromoaniline, 4-bromoaniline, 2,4-dibromoaniline, 2,4,6-tribromoaniline, 1,4-benzoquinone, 2-bromo-1,4-benzoquinone, 2,6-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone and a brominated oxidation product. The brominated aniline derivatives do not exhibit an oscillating behavior, and the addition of these substances to an oscillating mixture damps the course of other oscillations.

Thermal analysis of the interaction between stearic acid and pyrophillite or talc. IR and DTA studies

Pyrophyllite and talc sorb stearic acid on edge surfaces. The grinding of clay-stearic acid associations in the presence of alkali halides converts some of the acid into the ionic form, this occurring more readily with talc than with pyrophyllite. Heating in a closed or semi-closed system causes dissociation of stearic acid adsorbed on talc, but not on pyrophyllite. The infrared absorption frequencies of the adsorbed ionic form vary with the clay mineral and the amount of water present. The thermal stabilities of the clay-stearic acid associations depend on the rate of escape of the acid, which is determined by the strength of bonding to the clay and the nature of the system, and on the degree of dissociation of the acid on the clay surfaces.

Zusammenfassung Pyrophyllit und Talk adsorbieren Stearinsäure an den Kantenoberflächen. Beim Verreiben von Ton-Stearinsäure-Assoziaten in Gegenwart von Alkalihaliden wird ein Teil der Säure in die ionische Form überführt, und zwar leichter mit Talk als mit Pyrophyllit. Aufheizen im geschlossenen oder halbgeschlossenen System bewirkt eine Dissoziation der an Talk, aber nicht der an Pyrophyllit adsorbierten Stearinsäure. IR-Absorptionsfrequenzen der adsorbierten ionischen Form sind abhängig vom Tonmineral und der anwesenden Wassermenge. Die thermische Stabilität der Ton-Stearinsäure-Assoziate hängt von der Geschwindigkeit der Abgabe der Säure ab, die durch die Stärke der Bindung an das Tonmineral, also der Natur des Systems, und durch den Dissoziationsgrad der Säure an der Tonmineraloberfläche bedingt ist.

The thermal behaviour of solvates in the LiCI(MgCl2, AlCl3) water-1,4-dioxane systems

The thermal behaviour of the solvates and mixed solvates in the LiCl(MgCl₂, AlCl₃)-water-1,4-dioxane systems was investigated by means of DTA measurements of the melting behaviour and by quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric investigations of the thermal decomposition processes.The compounds melt incongruently. The positions of the melting points and the processes of thermal decomposition confirm the assumption that 1,4-dioxane is bonded in the first coordination sphere in the mixed solvate of lithium, but in the cases of magnesium and aluminium chloride it is bonded via hydrogen-bonds and not directly to the cations. Only for the lithium and magnesium compounds does the decomposition of the anhydrous solvates result in anhydrous chlorides.

Zusammenfassung Das thermische Verhalten der Solvate und Mischsolvate der Systeme LiCl, (MgCl₂, AlCl₃)-Wasser-1,4 Dioxan wurde mit Hilfe von DTA-Messungen zum Schmelzverhalten, und quasi-isothermen und quasi-isobaren Untersuchungen zum Ablauf der thermischen Zersetzung Untersucht. Die Verbindungen schmelzen inkongruent. Die Lage der Schmelzpunkte und der Verlauf der thermischen Zersetzung bekräftigen die Vorstellungen, daß 1,4 Dioxan im Mischsolvat des Lithiums in der ersten Koordinationsphäre direkt am Kation, hingegen bei Magnesium und Aluminium über Wasserstoffbrücken gebunden ist. Die Zersetzung der wasserfreien Solvate führt nur im Fall der Lithium- und Magnesiumverbindungen zu den wasserfreien Chloriden.

On the mechanism of hydrogen peroxide decomposition over monomeric and polymeric cobalt phthalocyanines

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in alkaline solutions on the surface of monomeric and polymeric cobalt phthalocyanines has been studied by means of volumetric, electrochemical and isotopic measurements. It has been shown that at a steady potential peroxide decomposition proceeds by the catalase mechanism and is a secondorder reaction. According to the results of¹⁸O tracer experiments, the evolving oxygen has the same isotopic composition as the initial hydrogen peroxide, the O–O bond in peroxide remaining intact during its evolution. When the steady potential is shifted in the cathodic or anodic direction, the active sites of the catalyst acquire the ability to accept or donate electrons as desired, which results in a change of the kinetic order from 2 to 1. The mechanisms of the reactions studied are considered in terms of the theory of heterogeneous catalysis on semiconductors.

The aquation of tris(1, 10-phenanthroline) iron(II) has been studied in aqueous polyacrylamide solutions. The rate increases up to 2.8 times at low polymer concentrations, and subsequently decreases. These effects are attributed to changes in the local water activity in the region of the complex.

Pulse photolysis rate constants of the decay of ester peroxide radicals

It is attributed to the high rate constants of the interaction of -acyloxyperoxide radicals ((3±1)×10⁸l/mol s) compared to those for remote peroxide ones.

Ligand effects in the rhodium acetate catalyzed hydrogen transfer

In the presence of some coordinating ligands, rhodium(II) acetate dimer Rh₂(OCOCH₃)₄, shows a good catalytic activity towards the hydrogen transfer from 2-propanol to cyclohexanone and some other unsaturated compounds. The catalytic activity is the function of the nature of ligands and their ratio to Rh₂(OCOCH₃)₄. The most active system is obtained using Rh₂(OCOCH₃)₄ and 2,2-bipyridine in molar ratio 1:6.
