Hydrothermal Synthesis of Mo-Based Oxide Catalysts and Selective Oxidation of Alkanes

Mo-V-M(=Al, Ga, Bi, Sb and Te)–O mixed oxide catalysts were synthesized hydrothermally for the first time, characterized structurally, and tested for ethane and propane oxidation after activation by various ways. These catalysts were black solids of rod-shaped (fiber like) crystals, which had a layer structure in the direction of fiber axis and a high dimensional arrangement of metal octahedra in the cross-section plane. These fresh crystalline materials became active for catalytic oxidation of alkanes after heat-treatment at 600 °C and subsequent grinding in order to increase exposed plane of the cross-section. The resulting catalysts were very active for an oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane with 80% of the ethylene selectivity in the reaction temperature range of 300 to 400 °C and also showed about 50% selectivity to acrylic acid in the propane oxidation. Multi-functional character which derived from the high dimensional structure of the catalysts and mechanism of the selective alkane oxidation were discussed.     

Aerobic alcohol oxidation catalyzed by a new, oxygen-bridged heterometallic compound [PPh4][Ru(N)Me2(μ2-O)2Pd((−)-sparteine)]

The reaction between the new hydroxy compound [PPh₄][Ru(N)(OH)₂Me₂] and Pd(OSiMe₃)₂((−)-sparteine) produces (Me₃Si)₂O, H₂O and a new heterobimetallic compound [PPh₄][Ru(N)Me₂(μ₂-O)₂Pd((−)-sparteine)] in good yield. The Ru/Pd bimetallic compound catalyzes the oxidation of aryl and allyl alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compound in air and the rearrangement of allylic alcohols unsaturated aldehydes. It also oxidizes PPh₃ to O-PPh₃ under O₂.     

Oxidation of some catecholamines by sodium N-chloro-p-toluenesulfonamide in acid medium: A kinetic and mechanistic approach

The kinetics of the oxidation of five catecholamines viz., dopamine (A), L-dopa (B), methyldopa (C), epinephrine (D) and norepinephrine (E) by sodium N-chloro-p-toluenesulfonamide or chloramine-T (CAT) in presence of HClO₄ was studied at 30±0.1 °C. The five reactions followed identical kinetics with a first-order dependence on [CAT] _o , fractional-order in [substrate] _o , and inverse fractional-order in [H⁺]. Under comparable experimental conditions, the rate of oxidation of catecholamines increases in the order D>E>A>B>C. The variation of ionic strength of the medium and the addition of p-toluenesulfonamide or halide ions had no significant effect on the reaction rate. The rate increased with decreasing dielectric constant of the medium. The solvent isotope effect was studied using D₂O. A Michaelis-Menten type mechanism has been suggested to explain the results. Equilibrium and decomposition constants for CAT-catecholamine complexes have been evaluated. CH₃C₆H₄SO₂NHCl of the oxidant has been postulated as the reactive oxidizing species and oxidation products were identified. An isokinetic relationship is observed with β=361 K, indicating that enthalpy factors control the reaction rate. The mechanism proposed and the derived rate law are consistent with the observed kinetics.

Role of catechin on collagen type I stability upon oxidation: a NMR approach

Abstract

The study focuses on the understanding, at molecular level, the mechanism of interaction between protein and flavonoids. Collagen and catechin interactions were investigated by NMR in solution and solid state. The effect of catechin on the stability of collagen to oxidation was also explored. Collagen was treated with two concentrations of catechin solutions. Oxidation was carried out by incubation of collagen solution with three oxidation systems: Fe(II)/H₂O₂, Cu(II)/H₂O₂, and NaOCl/H₂O₂. The effects of oxidation systems were evaluated by high resolution 1?D and 2?D proton spectroscopy and solid state NMR (¹³C CP MAS) experiments. Interactions between collagen and catechin preferentially occur between catechin B ring and the amino acids Pro and Hyp of collagen. Results showed that both iron and copper oxidation systems were able to interact with collagen by site specific attack. Moreover, catechin protects collagen proline from oxidation by metal/H₂O₂ systems, preventing copper and iron approach to collagene molecule;this behaviour was more evident for the copper/H₂O₂ system.     

Catalytic Oxidation of Dimethyl Ether to Dimethoxymethane over Cs Modified HaPW12O40/SiO2 Catalysts

The attractive utilization route for one-step catalytic oxidation of dimethyl ether to dimethoxymethane was successfully carried out over the H3PW12O40（40%）/SiO2 catalyst, modified by Cs, K, Ni, and V. The Cs modification of H3PW12O40（40%）/SiO2 gave the most promising result of 20% dimethyl ether conversion and 34.8% dimethoxymethane selectivity. Dimethoxymethane could be synthe- sized via methoxy groups decomposed from dimethyl ether through the synergistic effect between the acid sites and the redox sites of Cs modified H3PW12O40（40%）/SiO2.

Selective hydrogenations of steroids catalyzed by heterogenized Ru complexes

Summary [RuCl₂(PPh₃)₃], [{RuCl₂(TPPMS)₂}₂] and their heterogenized analogs were applied in the selective hydrogenation of 17-keto- and α,β-unsaturated ketosteroids. In basic conditions these complexes selectively hydrogenated the C=O bonds, similarly to the results obtained in the case of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. A new method was developed for the synthesis of an expensive steroid alcohol, which can be prepared traditionally in a more complicated way.     

锚联膦,胺配体对胶体钯的配位俘获及其负载催化剂的催化性能

本文继采用含硫配体(-SH,-SR)对高分子保护金属胶体的配位俘获之后,采用锚联在SiO_2表面的较含硫配体配位能力弱的P,N配体分别与聚乙烯吡咯烷酮(PVP)保护的胶体钯在室温下反应,在P/Pd大于3.5,N/Pd大于7时,可以实施对保护金属胶体的配位俘获,证实了配位俘获法是一种具有普遍意义的方法,经原子吸收光谱分析,溶液中残留的金属钯的量小于0.36 ppm(P/Pd=3.5)。经电子能谱证实,锚联膦胺配体与金属钯之间存在配位作用,这是实施保护胶体负载化的关键。透射电镜分析表明,在整个配位俘获的过程中,无论是在载体上或是在溶液中,胶体钯的颗粒大小与分布均保持不变。因此,配位俘获法是一种能控制多相催化剂中金属颗粒大小与分布的有效方法。由此合成的钯催化剂具有很高的催化活性,良好的选择性和稳定性,在对Cis,Cis-1,3-环辛二烯的选择性加氢中,其活性仅比均相的PVP-Pd胶体催化剂稍低,选择性达100％。在周转数达12,000次/个钯原子后,其催化活性仍保持不变,随着P/Pd比的增大,催化活性迅速下降。     

Degradative analysis of aquatic fulvic acid: CuO oxidation versus pyrolysis after tetramethylammonium hydroxide treatments in air and helium atmospheres

The structural composition of Nordic aquatic reference fulvic acid was investigated using chemical and thermal degradation methods: alkaline CuO oxidation and analytical pyrolysis after tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) pretreatment. Off-line procedures of the TMAH treatments were carried out under both air and helium atmospheres, with the aim of clarifying the effect of oxygen. Irrespective of the fact that the chemical and thermal degradation methods gave qualitatively quite similar basic products (mainly phenols and phenolic acids together with aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids), they also revealed their unique selectivity and efficiency for releasing different kinds of structural constituents. The results verify the formation of additional carboxyl functionality in the CuO oxidation. However, some similar oxidative reactions also appeared to take place during the pretreatment procedures of strongly basic TMAH, especially under an air atmosphere. The use of inert and protective atmosphere during the TMAH pretreatment is therefore recommended for producing more relevant structural information about the complex composition of humic substances.
