Catalytic Activity of Complex-Oxide Perovskite-containing Compositions in Reactions of Oxidation of CO and Organic Compounds

The catalytic activity of composites constituted by a porous metallic or ceramic support, intermediate layers of oxide nature, and perovskite coatings, including those doped with silver, was studied in reactions of deep oxidation of CO and organic compounds of various classes. The relationship between the catalytic activity of a composite and its composition and nature of substances being oxidized was analyzed.

Identifying Enantiomers in Mixtures of Chiral Molecules with Broadband Microwave Spectroscopy

Chirality‐sensitive broadband microwave spectroscopy was performed on mixtures of carvone enantiomers and conformers to distinguish enantiomers, measure enantiomeric excesses, and determine the absolute configurations of the enantiomers. This method uses microwave three‐wave mixing and is inherently well‐suited to the analysis of mixtures—a unique advantage over other techniques. In contrast to conventional microwave spectroscopy, the phase of the received signal is also exploited. This phase depends upon the signs of the molecules’ dipole‐moment components and is used to identify the excess enantiomer. The measured signal amplitude determines the size of the excess. The broadband capabilities of the spectrometer were used to simultaneously excite and measure two conformers of carvone, demonstrating the analysis of a sample with multiple chiral species. Employing quantum chemical calculations and the measured phases, the absolute configurations of the enantiomers are determined.     

IR-IR-UV hole-burning: conformation specific IR spectra in the face of UV spectral overlap

A new technique, IR-IR-UV hole-burning, is reported for obtaining conformation specific IR spectra when the electronic spectra are too closely overlapped to obtain clean spectra free from interference from other conformations via standard ion dip or fluorescence dip methods. The 4'-aminobenzo-15-crown-5 ether-(HDO) complex is used as an example, on which the method was applied to prove the presence of two conformations having overlapped electronic spectra and to assign IR transitions belonging to the same conformation.     

Determination of electron affinity of carbonyl radicals by means of negative ion mass spectrometry

Appearance energies of [M-H](-) ions from carbonyl compounds R-CO-R' (R,R' = H, CH(3), NH(2), OH) have been measured by means of negative ion mass spectrometry in resonant electron capture mode. Values of electron affinity of the corresponding radicals, CH(2)&dbond;C(X)O, NH&dbond;C(X)O and O&dbond;C(X)O, have been determined. Copyright 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
