An NMR study of the species produced by the reactions of dialkyl magnesium and HCl with calcined silica and the polymerisation performance of Ziegler-Natta catalysts produced from this support material

The effect of calcinations on the silica surface groups and thereby on the activity of Ziegler-Natta catalysts in ethylene homopolymerisation has been studied. Silica was calcined at different temperatures and treated with MgR₂ and HCl. Silica surface groups were identified by using ¹H MAS NMR and ¹³C and ²⁹Si CP MAS NMR techniques. Magnesium, titanium and chlorine were measured by elemental analysis. Ziegler-Natta catalysts were prepared from these supports and subsequently used in ethylene homopolymerisation. Maximum activity was obtained with the catalyst based on 590 °C calcined silica. The results indicate that MgR₂ reacts with siloxane-groups (Si-O-Si) in the 300 °C calcined silica, leaving the hydrogen-bonded hydroxyl-groups unreacted. Low activity Si-O-Ti(Cl)₂-O-Si species are formed after reacting with TiCl₄. The higher activity in the catalyst based on 590 °C calcined silica can be explained by the formation of -Si(R)-O-Si-O-TiCl₃ groups, originating from the siloxane bridges which cannot form in 300 °C calcined silica. Other explanations for the higher activity are a higher Mg/Ti ratio or small amounts of crystal water formed in the 590 °C calcined silica.     

Applicability of glass fiber as a support material for generation of gaseous standard mixtures using thermal decomposition of the surface compound. Calibration of analytical equipment

The use of glass fiber as a support material for a surface compound serving to generate gaseous standard mixtures of ethene is described. The technique is based on the process of thermal decomposition of the surface compound in a desorber connected on‐line via a multi‐port valve to the calibrated device. The surface compound undergoes thermal decomposition at 245°C, yielding known amounts of ethene. The method enables on‐line preparation of a standard mixture immediately before the calibration step. Consequently, it can be also applied for the generation of standard mixtures containing volatile, malodorous, unstable, and toxic compounds.     

高效钼基催化剂上正丁烯自歧化生成乙烯和己烯（英文）

烯烃歧化反应(又称烯烃复分解反应)是两分子烯烃通过碳-碳键断裂重排生成新烯烃分子的反应,自1964年Phillips公司的Banks等发现以来,引起了研究者的广泛关注,且在均相催化体系的发展尤为迅速;与此同时,多相烯烃歧化催化剂因其在分离简单、可循环再生利用方面的优势而在工业界崭露锋芒.多相烯烃歧化催化剂通常由活性金属组分(Re,Mo,W)分散到大比表面积的多孔载体制备而成.多相催化剂上烯烃歧化反应主要集中在乙烯和2-丁烯反歧化制丙烯反应,其中WO_3/SiO_2催化剂先后应用于Phillips公司的Triolefin Process和ABB Lummus公司的OCT工艺,低温Re系催化剂被法国石油研究院应用到Meta-4歧化工艺.同时丙烯歧化也是研究最多的反应,多数情况下被用作探针反应来研究催化剂的性能.烯烃歧化反应可以根据市场需求灵活调变产物分布,为碳四烃类的高效转化利用提供很好的途径.受国内拉动内需的政策及下游应用行业强劲需求的影响,中国液化石油气的产量逐年递增.2014年我国液化气产量约为2550万吨,其中仅有39%左右用于碳四深加工,大部分当做燃料直接烧掉.从组成来看,液化气中烯烃含量在40%-50%,可以转化为高附加值的乙烯和丙烯进一步利用.本文重点开发了一条从1-丁烯出发生产乙烯/己烯的反应路线及对应的催化剂.首先从热力学角度分析了碳四歧化反应网络中各反应路径发生的难易程度.在此基础上,以Mo/Al_2O_3为催化剂考察了Mo负载量和反应条件对产物分布的影响-.在优化的6Mo/Al_2O_3催化剂上,80°C,1.0 MPa和丁烯空速3 h1的条件下,产物中乙烯和己烯的摩尔选择性超过85%,并且在48 h内保持良好的反应稳定性.为了进一步探究催化剂结构与反应性能的关系,系统考察了催化剂载体差异对Mo物种状态和反应性能的影响.借助N2吸附,NH_3-TPD,Py-IR,H_2-TPR,UV-Vis和HRTEM等表征手段,发现催化剂反应活性与其酸密度直接相关.催化剂酸量越大,丁烯转化率越高,但副反应越多;载体适宜的酸量和较大的比表面积更有利于钼物种的分散和四配位钼物种的形成,促进目标1-丁烯自歧化制乙烯/己烯反应的发生.     

Heterogeneous partial oxidation catalysis on metal oxides

This review paper presents an overview of heterogeneous selective ammoxidation and oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of light alkanes, particularly of ethane. The conversion of ethane to ethene is in great demand in the domestic and worldwide chemical industry. The review has been voluntarily restricted to metal oxide-type catalysts, as it is devoted to the special issue honouring Edmond Payen and is based on 30 years of experience and discussions with pioneering scientists in the field. The main key factors, designated by Grasselli as the “7 pillars”, have been emphasised: isolation of active sites, M–O bond strength, crystalline structure, redox features, phase cooperation, multifunctionality and the nature of the surface oxygen species. The main features and physical and chemical properties of solid catalysts for selective oxidation compared to total oxidation have also been emphasised. Several case studies have been presented to illustrate the concept and importance of the key factors of catalyst preparation and activation and of the catalytic atmosphere. Based on such analysis and recent discoveries and process developments perspective views are also given.

Solving restricted open-shell equations in excited state molecular dynamics simulations

Different approaches to the solution of restricted open-shell equations are summarized and a general implementation for the first excited singlet state in the Car–Parrinello molecular dynamics code (CPMD) is presented. For molecular dynamics simulations where energy conservation is an important criterion, different choices of parameters are necessary depending on the particular chemical situation.     

Mixed-ligand iminopyrrolato-salicylaldiminato group 4 metal complexes: Optimising catalyst structure for ethylene/propylene copolymerisations

Treatment of MCl₃(OC₆H₃-2-^tBu-6-CHNC₆F₅)(THF) (M = Ti, Zr) with a variety of different potassium iminopyrrolate salts (K⁺[RNCHC₄H₃N]⁻), (R = phenyl, cyclo-hexyl, ethyl) afforded the corresponding titanium and zirconium mixed-ligand complexes MCl₂(N-O)(N-N). The molecular structures of TiCl₂(OC₆H₃-2-^tBu-6-CHNC₆F₅)(C₂H₅NCHC₄H₃N) (1c), TiCl₂(OC₆H₃-2-^tBu-6-CHNC₆F₅)(C₆H₁₁NCHC₄H₃N) (1b) and ZrCl₂(OC₆H₃-2-^tBu-6-CHNC₆F₅)(C₆H₁₁NCHC₄H₃N) (2b) show distorted octahedral geometries with trans-O⁻,N⁻/cis-Cl₂ arrangements. On activation with MAO the titanium (iminopyrrolato)(salicylaldiminato) complexes show excellent activities in ethylene polymerisation and are significantly more effective ethylene/propylene copolymerisation catalysts, both in terms of activity and propene incorporation, than either of the parent complexes. The ethylene-propylene copolymers show ca. 80% 1,2 regioselectivity and at high propylene incorporation tend towards an alternating structure.     

Iron and Cobalt Complexes of a Series of Tridentate P,N, P Ligands — Synthesis,Characterization, and Application in Ethene Polymerization Reactions

A series of tridentate P, N, P ligands comprising a central pyridine unit and two pendent diarylphosphane moieties (2, 6‐bis(CH₂PAr₂)pyridine; Ar = phenyl ( 1 ), 2‐methylphenyl ( 2 ), 2, 4, 6‐trimethylphenyl ( 3 )) as well as the corresponding iron ( 1‐FeCl₂ , 2‐FeCl₂ , 3‐FeCl₂ ) and cobalt ( 1‐CoCl₂ , 2‐CoCl₂ , 3‐CoCl₂ ) complexes were synthesized and characterized. An X‐ray structure analysis of 2‐CoCl₂ and 3‐CoCl₂ exhibited a trigonal‐bipyramidal coordination geometry at the metal center, the two chlorine atoms and the nitrogen occupying the equatorial and the phosphane units the apical positions. IR analysis indicated, that in all complexes the pyridine unit is coordinated to the metal center. The cobalt compounds were applied as catalyst precursors for the polymerization of ethene after activation with MAO.
