Synthesis and Isolation of the Titanium–Scandium Endohedral Fullerenes—Sc2TiC@Ih‐C80, Sc2TiC@D5h‐C80 and Sc2TiC2@Ih‐C80: Metal Size Tuning of the TiIV/TiIII Redox Potentials

The formation of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) in an electric arc is reported for the mixed‐metal Sc–Ti system utilizing methane as a reactive gas. Comparison of these results with those from the Sc/CH₄ and Ti/CH₄ systems as well as syntheses without methane revealed a strong mutual influence of all key components on the product distribution. Whereas a methane atmosphere alone suppresses the formation of empty cage fullerenes, the Ti/CH₄ system forms mainly empty cage fullerenes. In contrast, the main fullerene products in the Sc/CH₄ system are Sc₄C₂@C₈₀ (the most abundant EMF from this synthesis), Sc₃C₂@C₈₀, isomers of Sc₂C₂@C₈₂, and the family Sc₂C_{2 n} (2 n=74, 76, 82, 86, 90, etc.), as well as Sc₃CH@C₈₀. The Sc–Ti/CH₄ system produces the mixed‐metal Sc₂TiC@C_{2 n} (2 n=68, 78, 80) and Sc₂TiC₂@C_{2 n} (2 n=80) clusterfullerene families. The molecular structures of the new, transition‐metal‐containing endohedral fullerenes, Sc₂TiC@I_h‐C₈₀, Sc₂TiC@D_5h‐C₈₀, and Sc₂TiC₂@I_h‐C₈₀, were characterized by NMR spectroscopy. The structure of Sc₂TiC@I_h‐C₈₀ was also determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, which demonstrated the presence of a short Ti=C double bond. Both Sc₂TiC‐ and Sc₂TiC₂‐containing clusterfullerenes have Ti‐localized LUMOs. Encapsulation of the redox‐active Ti ion inside the fullerene cage enables analysis of the cluster–cage strain in the endohedral fullerenes through electrochemical measurements.

Effect of the nature of the support for copper-cerium oxide catalysts on selective oxidation of CO in hydrogen-rich mixtures

We have studied the catalytic properties of copper-cerium oxide catalysts, supported on zirconium, aluminum, titanium, and manganese oxides, in the reaction of selective oxidation of CO in hydrogen-rich mixtures. We have shown that the high activity and selectivity of catalysts supported on zirconium and aluminum oxides is connected with the presence of (in addition to divalent copper) higher amounts of copper in the (+1) oxidation state in the catalysts. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 42, No. 2, pp. 119–124, March–April, 2006.     

Enhanced photocatalytic activity of zeolite-encapsulated TiO2 clusters by complexation with organic additives and N-doping.

In the literature it was found that titanium oxide clusters of a few metal atoms encapsulated inside the micropores of zeolite Y exhibit large blue shifts in the Ti-O ligand-to-metal charge-transfer band as compared to non-encapsulated bulk titanium dioxide particles. This blue shift of the Ti-O absorption band is believed to have a negative effect on the photocatalytic activity of zeolite-encapsulated TiO2. We report here on circumventing this problem and increasing visible-light absorption by means of a red shift of the absorption band caused by addition of some organic molecular modifiers containing acidic OH groups that can strongly bind with titanol groups TiOH. In the studied series of zeolite-encapsulated TiO2 samples, the red shift of the optical spectrum follows the order: catechol > 4-aminobenzoic acid > benzoic acid. Also N-doping of zeolite-encapsulated TiO2 clusters by thermal treatment with urea leads to a red shift of the TiO2 absorption band that depends on the annealing and hydration conditions. By comparison to the degradation of phenol in aqueous solution, we have demonstrated that these changes in the absorption spectrum on addition of the organic modifier are also reflected in the photocatalytic activity of the samples; a greater increase in photocatalytic activity (about 30%) was observed for the additive catechol.

Ultrasonic Preparation of Hierarchical Graphene‐Oxide/TiO2 Composite Microspheres for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production

Hierarchical graphene oxide (GO)‐TiO₂ composite microspheres with different GO/TiO₂ mass ratios were successfully prepared by mixing GO and TiO₂ microspheres under ultrasonic conditions. Ultrasonication helped the GO and TiO₂ microsphere to uniformly mix on the microscale. The results showed that the GO‐TiO₂ composites that were prepared by ultrasonic mixing exhibited significantly higher hydrogen‐evolution rates than those that were synthesized by simple mechanical grinding, owing to synergetic effects, including enhanced light absorption and scattering, as well as improved interfacial charge transfer because of the excellent contact between the GO sheets and TiO₂ microspheres. In addition, GO‐TiO₂‐3 (3 wt. % GO) showed the highest hydrogen‐generation rate (305.6 μmol h^?), which was about 13 and 3.3‐times higher than those of TiO₂ microsphere and GO‐P25 (with 3 wt. % GO), respectively. Finally, a tentative mechanism for hydrogen production is proposed and supported by photoluminescence and transient photocurrent measurements. This work highlights the potential applications of GO‐TiO₂ composite microspheres in the field of clean‐energy production.

Reaction Intermediates on TiO2(110) Identified by Time-Lapse Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

The present account describes first time examples of scanning tunneling microscope (STM) visualization of reaction intermediates on a metal oxide surface. The topographic response of reactant-adsorbed TiO₂(110) surfaces to a temperature increment or to a pressure increment was monitored as a sequence of STM images. Acetates thermally decomposing to ketene were resolved in a temperature-jump STM observation. The kinetics of the acetate consumption was determined on the number of acetates resolved in the microscope images and agreed with the macroscopic rate law of ketene production. A pressure-jump study revealed how a chemisorbed carboxylate (RCOO^-) is exchanged by another carboxylate (R'COO^-) supplied from the ambient vapor phase. An impinging R'COOH was immobilized on the top of a RCOO^- and then squeezed itself into the monolayer of the RCOO^-. One of the carboxylates in the squeezed state returned to the vapor phase via the immobilized state.
