Oxidation of Methanol on Pt,Pt–Ru,and Pt–Ru–Mo Electrocatalysts Dispersed in Polyaniline: An in situ Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy Study

The electrochemical oxidation of methanol was investigated on a Pt–Ru–Mo catalyst with an in situ infrared reflectance spectroscopy. The electrocatalysts were prepared by an electrochemical deposition and dispersed in a conducting three-dimensional matrix of polyaniline (PAni). We observed that CO₂ is produced from methanol oxidation at 350 mV vs. RHE on PAni/Pt–Ru–Mo, which is 100 mV less negative than on PAni/Pt–Ru and 200 mV less than on PAni/Pt. The results suggest that Pt–Ru–Mo is less sensitive to CO_ADS poisoning than Pt–Ru and much more sensitive than Pt. Large differences are observed concerning the average wavenumber of _ADS between Pt–Ru–Mo, Pt–Ru, and Pt.     

Catalytic properties of manganites in the oxidation of CO and hydrocarbon

Manganites with a spinel structure MMn₂O₄ (M = Co, Cu, Zn, Mo) and M¹ _0.5M² _0.5 Mn₂O₄ (M = Co, Cu, Zn, Mg) have been synthesized and tested in the catalytic oxidation of CO, C₃H₆, and ethylbenzene. The dependence of the catalytic activity of the manganites on the nature of the cation has been established. The spinels containing transition metal ions (Cu, Co) are more active. A relation between catalytic and adsorption properties of manganites has been established. The participation of the lattice oxygen in the oxidation of CO to CO₂ has been found. The mechanism of the oxidation is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No, 11, pp, 2686–2669. November, 1996.     

Catalytic properties of spinel-type complex oxides in oxidation reactions

The catalytic activity of M^IM^II ₂O₃ spinel-type complex oxides (M^I = Cu, Ni, Mn, Zn, Mg, Co, M^II = Co, Cr, Al) in the oxidation of CO and ethylbenzene has been investigated. The Co-containing catalysts were more active than the Cr- and Al-containing catalysts. The nature of the cation influenced the catalytic activity. Higher activities were observed for the catalysts containing two transition elements. A correlation between the catalytic and adsorption properties was established.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 1730–1732, October, 1994.

Dielectric and13C NMR studies of the carbon monoxide clathrate hydrate

The structure I clathrate hydrate of carbon monoxide has been studied using dielectric measurements and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Broad, weak dielectric absorption curves with maxima at 2.2–3.8 K yieldE _a = 0.14 kJ mol^–1 for the average Arrhenius activation energy associated with the reorientation of the low polarity guest. Except for H₂S this represents the fastest reorienting polar guest known among the clathrate hydrates. The low temperature dielectric absorption curves can best be fitted with a Cole-Davidson asymmetric distribution of relaxation times and activation energies (with = 0.06 at 4 × 10⁶ Hz), which at 10⁷ Hz has been resolved into a double symmetric distribution of discrete relaxation times for CO in the small and large cages. The cross-polarization magic angle spinning¹³C NMR spectra indicate identical chemical shifts for CO in the small and large cages, in contrast to other hydrates. The static spectra show that the CO molecules undergo anisotropic reorientation in the large cages and that there is still considerable mobility at 77 K. One possible model for the anisotropic motion has the CO rapidly moving among sites over each of the 14 faces of the cage with the CO axis orientated towards the cage centre. The cage occupancy ratio at 220 K, _s/ _L = 1.11, indicates slightly greater preference of CO for the small cage.Dedicated to Dr D. W. Davidson in honor of his great contributions to the sciences of inclusion phenomena.

Identification of defect sites on oxide surfaces by metastable impact electron spectroscopy

In this review, thin films of SiO₂ on Mo(1 1 2) and MgO(1 0 0) on Mo(1 0 0) have been characterized using metastable impact electron and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopies (metastable impact electron spectroscopy (MIES) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy). The electronic and chemical properties of the thin films are identical to those of the corresponding bulk oxides. For different prepared defective SiO₂ surfaces, additional features are observed in the band-gap region. These features arise from vacancies or excess oxygen and are consistent with theoretical predictions of additional occupied states in the band-gap due to point defects. Extended defect sites on SiO₂ and MgO are identified using MIES by a narrowing of the O(2p) features with a reduction in the density of extended defect sites. MIES of adsorbed Xe (MAX) is also used to estimate the density of extended defect sites. Furthermore, it is shown that CO is an appropriate probe molecule for estimating the defect density of MgO surfaces. Upon Ag exposure, the change in the work function of a low defect MgO(1 0 0) versus a high defect surface is markedly different. For a sputter-damaged MgO(1 0 0) surface, an initial decrease of the work function was found, implying that small Ag clusters on this surface are electron deficient. In contrast, for SiO₂ no significant change of the work function upon Ag exposure with increasing defect density was observed. On MgO(1 0 0), the presence of defect sites markedly alter the electronic and chemical properties of supported Ag clusters. Such a strong influence of defect sites was not found for Ag clusters on SiO₂.     

Free-Radical Carbonylations: Then and Now

Although known since the 1950s, free-radical carbonylation has not received much attention until only recently. In the last few years the application of modern free-radical techniques has revealed the high synthetic potential of this reaction as a tool for introducing CO into organic molecules. Clearly now is the time for a renaissance of this chemistry. Under standard conditions (tributyltin hydride/CO) primary, secondary, as well as tertiary alkyl bromides and iodides can be efficiently converted into the corresponding aldehydes. Aromatic and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes can also be prepared from the parent aromatic and vinylic iodides. If the reaction is carried out in the presence of alkenes containing an electron-withdrawing substituent, the initially formed acyl radical subsequently adds to the alkene, leading to a general method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical ketones. This three-component coupling reaction can be extended successfully to allyltin-mediated reactions. Thus, β,γ-enones can be prepared from organic halides, CO, and allyltributylstannanes. In a remarkable one-pot procedure alkyl halides can be treated with a mixture of alkene, allyltributylstannane, and carbon monoxide in a four-component coupling reaction that provides β-functionalized δ,?-unsaturated ketones by the formation of three new C? C bonds. The reaction of 4-pentenyl radicals with CO leads to acyl radical cyclization, which provides a useful method for the synthesis of cyclopentanones. Certain useful one-electron oxidations can be combined efficiently with free-radical carbonylations. These findings and others discussed in this article clearly demonstrate that free-radical carbonylation can now be considered a practical alternative to transition metal mediated carbonylation.     

Synthesis of poly (ether-sulfone-amide)s by palladium-catalyzed polycondensation of aromatic dibromides containing ether sulfone structure,aromatic diamines,and carbon monoxide

A general method for the preparation of aromatic poly (ether-sulfone-amide)s has been developed. Polymerization is based on the palladium-catalyzed polycondensation of aromatic dibromides containing ether sulfone structural units, aromatic diamines, and carbon monoxide. Reactions were carried out in N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) in the presence of palladium catalyst, triphenylphosphine, and 1,8-diazabicyclo [5,4,0]–7–undecene (DBU), and gave a series of poly (ether-sulfone-amide)s with inherent viscosities up to 0.86 dL/g under mild conditions. The polymers were quite soluble in strong acids, dipolar aprotic solvents, and pyridine. Thermogravimetry of the polymers showed excellent thermal stability, indicating that 10% weight losses of the polymers were observed in the range above 470°C in air. The glass transition temperatures of the polymers were around 230°C, which are higher than those of poly (ether-sulfone) analogues. These polymers also showed the good tensile strengths and tensile modulus. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
