Micellar Catalysis on the Redox Reaction of Ascorbic Acid-Vanadium(V) System

Stoichiometry of the redox reaction of vanadium(V) by ascorbic acid (H₂A) has been experimentally determined to be H₂A + 2V(V) → A + 2V(IV) + 2H ⁺ . Evidence of induced polymerization of acrylonitrile and the reduction of mercuric chloride indicates that a free-radical mechanism operates during the course of reaction. Vanadium(V) is only reduced to vanadium(IV). The kinetics of this redox reaction have been investigated spectrophotometrically at 35°C in acidic media of H₂SO₄. In this kinetic study we have observed the nature of vanadium(V)-H₂A interaction in presence of anionic surfactant of SDS. In V(V)-H₂A system, the addition of anionic surfactant (SDS) enhanced the reaction rate and shows catalytic effect. This trend was explained by the incorporation/solubilization of vanadium(V) and ascorbic acid in the Stern layer.     

Reaction of CO2 with a Vanadium(II) Aryl Oxide: Synergistic Activation of CO2/Oxo Groups towards H‐Atom Radical Abstraction

Treatment of divalent (ONNO)V(TMEDA) ( 1 ; ONNO=[2,4‐Me₂‐2‐(OH)C₆H₂CH₂]₂N(CH₂)₂NMe₂) with CO₂ afforded [(ONNO)V]₂(μ‐OH)(μ‐formate) ( 2 ). Whereas the bridging hydroxo and formate groups both originated from CO₂, the H atoms present on the two residues were obtained through H‐atom radical abstraction from the solvent. DFT calculations revealed an initially linear CO₂ bonding mode, followed by deoxygenation, and highlighted a synergistic effect between the so‐formed oxo group and an additional bridging CO₂ residue in promoting radical behavior.     

Synthesis,X-ray crystal structure and DFT studies of cobalt(II) and vanadium(V) complexes with N,N,O-tridentate aroyl-hydrazone based ligand

A new aroyl-hydrazone, 2-pyridine carboxaldehyde-derived hydrazone ligand and its cobalt(II) (1) and vanadium(V) (2) complexes were prepared. The structures of these compounds were investigated using elemental analysis, spectral (IR, UV), and X-ray diffraction measurements. The electrochemical properties of the complexes were studied by cyclic voltammetry. The hydrazone ligand acted as tridentate and coordinated to vanadium and cobalt via N-imine, N-pyridine, and O-benzohydrazide atoms. The Co(II) complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, and has a binuclear structure. Chloride ions behave as the linking bridge and a tridentate hydrazine ligand HL and water as the terminal capping ligands. The central Co(II) ion has distorted octahedral geometry. The vanadium(V) complex crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P2₁/n, and can be described as having highly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination. The geometries and electronic properties of the complexes were also obtained using DFT and TD-DFT calculations.     

Dispersion state and catalytic properties of vanadia species on the surface of V_2O_5/TiO_2 catalysts

The dispersion state and catalytic properties of anatase-supported vanadia species are studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS), H2 temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and the selective oxidation of o-xylene to phthalic anhydride. The almost identical values of the experimental dispersion capacity of V2O5 on anatase and the surface vacant sites available on the preferentially exposed (001) plane of anatase suggest that the highly dispersed vanadium cations are bonded to the vacant sites on the surface of anatase as derived by the incorporation model. When the loading amount of V2O5 is far below its dispersion capacity, the dispersed vanadia species might mainly consist of isolated VOx species bridging to the surface through V-O-Ti bonds. With the increase of V2O5 loading the isolated vanadia species interact with their nearest neighbors (either isolated or polymerized vanadia) through bridging V-O-V at the expenses of V-O-Ti bonds, resulting in the increase of the ra     

High Lithium Capacity MxV2O5Ay·nH2O for Rechargeable Batteries

The aqueous synthesis and electrochemical properties of nanocrystalline M_xV₂O₅A_y·nH₂O are described. It is easily and quickly prepared by precipitation from acidified vanadate solutions. M_xV₂O₅A_y·nH₂O has been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, electron microscopy, TGA, chemical analyses, and electrochemical studies. The atomic structure is related to that of xerogel-derived V₂O₅·nH₂O. In M_xV₂O₅A_y·nH₂O, M is a cation from the starting vanadate salt and A is an anion from the mineral acid. This material exhibits high, reversible Li capacity and may be considered for use in a cathode in primary and secondary batteries. The lithium capacity of an electrode composed of M_xV₂O₅A_y·nH₂O/EPDM/carbon (88/4/8) is ∼380(mA h)/g (C/80 rate) and the energy density is ∼1000(W h)/kg (120-μm-thick cathode, 4-1.5 V, versus Li metal anode). Critical parameters identified in the synthesis of M_xV₂O₅A_y·nH₂O, with respect to achieving high Li-ion insertion capacity, are acid/vanadium ratio, starting vanadate salt, and temperature. Inclusion of carbon black in the synthesis yields a composite that maintains the high Li capacity, lowers the electrochemical-cell polarization, and preserves the lithium capacity at higher discharge rates. Li-ion coin cells, using pre-lithiated graphite anodes, exhibit electrochemical performance comparable to that of Li-metal coin cells.
