Surface Modification of Cu-SSZ-13 with CeO2 to Improve the Catalytic Performance for the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO with NH3

Kinetics and Catalysis - A series of Cu-SSZ-13@CeO2 catalysts with surface modification with CeO2 was prepared by the modified self-resemble method based on the one-pot synthesized Cu-SSZ-13...     

Gas-phase 21Ne NMR studies and the nuclear magnetic dipole moment of neon-21

Gas-phase ²¹Ne nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were measured at the natural abundance of ²¹Ne isotope for samples consisting of pressurized neon up to 60 bar at room temperature and applying the magnetic field of the strength B₀ = 11.7574 T. It showed that the nuclear magnetic resonance frequency is linearly dependent on the density of gaseous neon. The resonance frequency was extrapolated to the zero-density point, and it permitted the determination of the ²¹Ne nuclear magnetic moment, μ(²¹Ne) = 0.6617774(10) μ_N. The present value of μ(²¹Ne) is not influenced by the bulk magnetic susceptibility of neon and interactions between neon atoms; therefore, it is more precise and reliable than the previous result obtained for μ(²¹Ne).     

Synthesis and Properties of Azoles and Their Derivatives. Part 70. Nitroallylic Systems in [2 + 3] Cycloaddition Reactions with Nitrones: A DFT Computational Study

The analysis of electrophilicity indexes and the results of potential energy surface (PES) simulations for the reaction pathways proved that the [2 + 3] cycloadditions of nitroallylic systems with nitrones should be considered nonpolar reactions. Our simulations proved that the reactions always proceed via a one‐step mechanism through a prereaction complex. Although the symmetry of respective transition states is quite varied, their polarity is low and does not change when a polar medium is introduced to the reaction environment. When the polarity of the reaction medium increases, the kinetic pathway preference does not change. The regiochemistry of the cycloadditions tested may, however, be controlled to some extent by steric effects.
