Carvone epoxidation by system “hydrogen peroxide-[Mn2L2O3][PF6]2 (L = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane)-carboxylic acid”: a combinatorial approach to the process optimization?

Summary Epoxidation of natural terpene (+)-carvone by the system consisting of a catalyst, oxalic acid (co-catalyst) and H₂O₂ (70% aqueous solution; oxidant) was studied and factorial design methods were applied for the optimization of this reaction. A dinuclear manganese(IV) complex [LMn(O)₃MnL](PF₆)₂ (L = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) was used as a catalyst, and acetonitrile was employed as a solvent. An analysis by methods of the complete 2⁴ factorial design showed that an increase in the catalyst concentration gives a strong positive effect on the carvone conversion and selectivity. Hydrogen peroxide has a smaller positive effect on the conversion, but at high concentration, H₂O₂ leads to some decrease in the selectivity. An increase in the oxalic acid concentration has a beneficial effect on the conversion, but does not affect the selectivity.     

Influence of promoters on the performance of Au/MnOx and Pt/SnOx/SiO2 low-temperature CO oxidation catalysts

The influence of promoters on Pt/SnO_x/SiO₂ and Au/MnO_x low-temperature CO oxidation catalysts has been investigated under stoichiometric reaction conditions with no CO₂ added to the feed gas. The performance of Pt/SnO_x/SiO₂ catalysts is improved significantly by the addition of 1 wt.% Fe but reduced by the addition of 5 wt.%Fe, 1 wt.% Sb, 5 wt.% Sb, 1 wt.% As, 5 wt.%As and 1.8 wt.% P. The performance of Au/MnO_x is improved significantly by the addition of 1 at.% Ce but reduced by the addition of 1 at.% Co. For the catalysts and conditions examined, the Au/MnO_x catalysts are superior to the Pt/SnO_x/SiO₂ catalysts with respect to both activity and decay characteristics.

Performance of Pt/SnO2 catalyst in the gas phase hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde

Selective hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde was performed on 5% Pt/SnO₂ catalysts, in gaseous phase, at atmospheric pressure, at 353 K. Two types of catalyst were prepared using H₂PtCl₆ and Pt(NH₃)₄(NO₃)₂ as metallic precursors. Their performances were compared as a function of the reduction temperature and both catalysts were characterised by X-ray diffraction after different reduction treatments. Using the ex-chloride catalyst, the selectivity values to the unsaturated alcohol (UOL) resulted into a maximum of 45% while a selectivity as high as 70–77%, in 0–25% conversion range, was achieved by using ex-nitrate catalyst reduced at 443 K. The formation of Pt–Sn alloy on the metal particles of platinum was thought to be necessary to improve the activity and the selectivity on these catalysts. In the contrast, a presence of PtSn₂ formed at a reduction temperature higher than 473 K led to a decrease of activity and selectivity.     

A novel histidine assay using tetraphenylporphyrin manganese (III) chloride as a molecular recognition probe by resonance light scattering technique

A novel histidine-selective method has been developed for the determination of histidine in aqueous solutions by resonance light scattering (RLS) technique. At pH 8.0, the weak RLS intensity of tetraphenylporphyrin manganese (III) chloride [MnTPPCl] was greatly enhanced by the addition of histidine with the maximum peak located at 483 nm. Under the optimum conditions, it was found that the enhanced RLS intensity was in proportion to the concentration of histidine in the range 7.8 × 10⁻⁷-2.4 × 10⁻⁵ mol l⁻¹. Low detection limit of 9.2 × 10^-8 mol l⁻¹ has been achieved. The histidine concentrations in synthetic samples and real samples were determined with satisfactory results. The sensitivity and selectivity of this method are high enough to permit the determination of trace amounts of histidine without any significant interference from high levels of other components such as common anions and especially, other amino acids.

Synthesis and phase transition of Li-Mn-O spinels with high Li/Mn ratio by thermo-decomposition of LiMnC2O4(Ac)

LiMnC₂O₄(Ac) precursor in which Li⁺ and Mn²⁺ were amalgamated in one molecule was prepared by solid-state reaction at room-temperature using manganese acetate, lithium hydroxide and oxalic acid as raw materials. By thermo-decomposition of LiMnC₂O₄(Ac) at various temperatures, a series of Li_1+y[Mn_2−xLi_x]_16dO₄ spinels were prepared with Li₂MnO₃ as impurities. The structure and phase transition of these spinels were investigated by XRD, TG/DTA, average oxidation state of Mn and cyclic voltammeric techniques. Results revealed that the Li-Mn-O spinels with high Li/Mn ratio were unstable at high temperature, and the phase transition was associated with the transfer of Li⁺ from octahedral 16c sites to 16d sites. With the sintering temperature increasing from 450 to 850 °C, the phase structure varied from lithiated-spinel Li₂Mn₂O₄ to Li₄Mn₅O₁₂-like to LiMn₂O₄-like and finally to rock-salt LiMnO₂-like. A way of determining x with average oxidation state of Mn and the content of Li₂MnO₃ was also demonstrated.
