A hot-atom reaction kinetic model for H abstraction from solid surfaces

Measurements of the abstraction reaction kinetics in the interaction of gaseous H atoms with D adsorbed on metal and semiconductor surfaces, H(g)+D(ad)/S→ products, have shown that the kinetics of the HD products are at variance with the expectations drawn from the operation of Eley–Rideal mechanisms. Furthermore, in addition to HD product molecules, D₂ products were observed which are not expected in an Eley–Rideal scenario. Products and kinetics of abstraction reactions on Ni(100), Pt(111), and Cu(111) surfaces were recently explained by a random-walk model based solely on the operation of hot-atom mechanistic steps. Based on the same reaction scenario, the present work provides numerical solutions of the appropriate kinetic equations in the limit of the steady-state approximation for hot-atom species. It is shown that the HD and D₂ product kinetics derived from global kinetic rate constants are the same as those obtained from local probabilities in the random walk model.

The rate constants of the hot-atom kinetics provide a background for the interpretation of measured data, which was missing up to now. Assuming that reconstruction affects the competition between hot-atom sticking and hot-atom reaction, the application of the present model at D abstraction from Cu(100) surfaces reproduces the essential characteristics of the experimentally determined kinetics.     

Adsorption of carbon monoxide on Pt{100} surfaces: dependence of the CO stretching vibrational frequency on surface coverage

We have used the ab initio cluster model approach to study the dependence of the CO stretching frequency on CO surface coverage. We have also investigated the relative importance of the various factors that can affect the position of the CO stretching band as coverage increases. Two effects can change the CO stretching frequency: the adsorbate–adsorbate dipole coupling, which is a purely physical effect, and the changes in the 2π^* CO molecular orbitals, due to the different chemical environment at higher coverages. From our vibrational analysis, we conclude that CO–CO dipole coupling is the main cause of the upward shift of the CO stretching band when the CO coverage is increased. The population of the 2π^* CO molecular orbitals does not change at any coverage within the region considered. We have also estimated the ¹²CO–¹³CO dipole coupling, which previous studies have assumed to be weak. Our results demonstrate that the ¹²CO–¹³CO dipole coupling is indeed weak compared with the ¹²CO–¹²CO dipole coupling. At a CO surface coverage of 0.5 monolayers (ML), we have calculated a band shift of 40 cm⁻¹ to higher frequency. However, we should point out that when one ¹²CO molecule is surrounded by a ¹³CO environment, the ¹²CO stretching band shifts 10 cm⁻¹ upwards. We have also computed the heat of adsorption of CO on Pt{100}-(1×1) as a function of CO coverage. The initial heat of adsorption is calculated to be about 192 kJ mol⁻¹ and then drops to 180 kJ mol⁻¹ at 0.5 ML. These results agree quite well with recent calorimetric measurements. Besides that, we have estimated that the CO–CO interaction energy at 0.5 ML is repulsive and has a value of 5 kJ mol⁻¹.     

Theoretical study of CO2 activation on Pt(111) induced by coadsorbed K atoms

The adsorption of CO₂ on the clean and potassium-precovered Pt(111) surface has been studied by means of the cluster model approach within the hybrid B3LYP density functional theory-based method. On the clean surface, CO₂ is undistorted and weakly bound. The equilibrium position of this physisorbed species appears at a rather large distance from the surface. However, when coadsorbed K atoms are included in the model, a chemisorbed, bent CO₂ species on top of a surface Pt atom is found. The presence of the coadsorbed K is found to be necessary to promote CO₂ chemisorption and activation, the key step in activating the CO₂ molecule being a direct interaction with the coadsorbate. In addition, the calculated vibrational frequencies for this chemisorbed species are in agreement with available experimental data.

Optimized Pt-MnOx interface in Pt-MnOx/3DOM-Al2O3 catalysts for enhancing catalytic soot combustion

The catalysts of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) Al₂O₃-supported core-shell structured Pt@MnO_x nanoparticles (3DOM-Pt@MnO_x/Al₂O₃) were successfully prepared by the gas bubbling-assisted membrane reduction-precipitation (GBMR/P) method. Pt@MnO_x core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) are highly dispersed on the inner surface of 3DOM-Al₂O₃ support. Pt@MnO_x/3DOM-Al₂O₃ catalysts, which combine both advantages of high-efficiency soot-catalyst contact by 3DOM-Al₂O₃ structure and the abundant active sites by the optimized Pt-MnO_x interface, exhibit high catalytic activities for soot combustion, and the catalytic activities are strongly dependent on the thickness of MnO_x shell. Among the catalysts, 3DOM-Pt@MnO_x/Al₂O₃-1 catalyst with optimized Pt-MnO_x interface shows the highest catalytic activity for soot combustion, i.e., its values of T₅₀ and S_CO2^m are 351 °C and 98.6%, respectively. The highest density of Pt-MnO_x active sites for adsorption-activation of gaseous O₂ is responsible for enhancing catalytic activity for soot combustion. Pt@MnO_x/3DOM-Al₂O₃ catalysts are promising to practical applications for the emission reduction of soot particles.     

Adsorption Pre-Concentration and Analysis of Dopamine at Platinum Electrode Surfaces

Abstract

Studies indicated that dopamine and other catechol-and phenol-containing amines adsorb rapidly onto platinum surfaces. Using this phenomenon to pre-concentrate these compounds at a platinum electrode prior to differential pulse voltammetric analysis, a minimum detectable dopamine concentration of 5 × 10 M can be directly determined.     

An Overview of 195Pt Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Abstract

This brief, non‐exhaustive review describes some basic theoretical aspects of ¹⁹⁵Pt nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and also the empirical approach used by the researchers in the field. The different factors which influence the chemical shifts are discussed. The couplings constants between ¹⁹⁵Pt and other isotopes, which have a spin of 1/2 (such as, ¹H and ¹³C) bring further important information on the structures of Pt compounds. Recently, ¹⁹⁵Pt‐NMR spectroscopy in the liquid state has been used successfully in many research fields, e.g., the determination of enantiomeric composition and absolute configuration, in the area of biosensors and biomarkers, in cluster chemistry, in cancer research and in kinetic studies. While liquid‐state ¹⁹⁵Pt‐NMR spectroscopy encompasses a wide range of areas, the parallel solid‐state technique has only been employed over the past few years, mainly in studies of heterogeneous catalysis and is more industrially oriented.     

High pressure cyanide exchange study on a square-planar tetracyanometalate complex of Pt(II)

Abstract

Previous studies of cyanide exchange on square planar tetracyanoplatinate complex [Pt(CN)₄]^2- have been undertaken only at a high pH. For a more complete fundamental understanding of this system we extended the investigations of these exchanges over a large pH range. NMR kinetics methods (magnetisation transfer, isotopic exchange) proved to be very useful for obtaining quantitative rate data of the cyanide exchange on this complex. In fact it is quite significant that the reactivity of this metal center spans a ca. 9-order of magnitude range as a function of pH.

Variable temperature and variable pressure studies were undertaken in aqueous solutions and the following activation parameters obtained: ΔH? = (25.1 ± 0.4) kJmol^?1 and activation entropy ΔS? = -(142±2)JK^?1mol^?1 and activation volume ΔV? = -(27±2)cm³mol^?1.     

Equations of state of MgO,Au, Pt,NaCl-B1, and NaCl-B2: Internally consistent high-temperature pressure scales

Semiempirical equations of state (EoS) of Au, Pt, MgO, NaCl-B1, and NaCl-B2 based on expanded Mie–Grüneisen–Debye approach, which are consistent both with the Mie–Grüneisen–Bose–Einstein approach and the thermochemical, X-ray, ultrasonic and shock-wave data in a wide pressure-temperature range, have been constructed. It is shown that to determine the volume dependence of the Grüneisen parameter, not only shock-wave and static compression data, but also experimental information on heat capacity, bulk moduli, volume, and thermal expansion coefficient at zero pressure need to be taken into account. Intrinsic anharmonicity is of great importance at construction of EoS at high temperatures and x=V/V ₀>1. Cross-comparison of the current equations of state with independent measurements shows that these EoS may be used as the internally consistent and independent pressure scales in a wide range of temperatures and pressures.
