Synthesis of chemisorbed imidazolium and phosphonium cations by reaction of ionic liquid precursors with silica.
2010
The reaction of four different basic ionic liquid precursors with Aerosil®300 is presented. Chemisorbed imidazolium and phosphonium cations, with silanolate anions as part of the silicatic support, were obtained and investigated with various solid state NMR techniques.
Selective Hydrogenation of 1,3-Butadiene to 1-Butene by Pd(0) Nanoparticles Embedded in Imidazolium Ionic Liquids
2005
The reduction of Pd(acac)2 (acac=acetylacetonate), dissolved in 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMI⋅PF6) or tetrafluoroborate (BMI⋅BF4) ionic liquids, by molecular hydrogen (4 atm) at 75 °C affords stable, nanoscale Pd(0) particles with sizes of 4.9±0.8 nm. Inasmuch as 1,3-butadiene is at least four times more soluble in the BMI⋅BF4 than butenes, the selective partial hydrogenation could be performed by Pd(0) nanoparticles embedded in the ionic liquid. Thus, the isolated nanoparticles promote the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene to butenes under solventless or multiphase conditions. Selectivities up to 97% in butenes were observed in the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene by Pd…
The complexation of tetraphenylborate with organic N-heteroaromatic cations
2001
Complexation studies of eleven N-heteroaromatic cations with tetraphenylborate are reported. Tetraphenylborate forms complexes with five cations and reacts to form Lewis-base boranes with six cations. The complexes and the displacement reaction products were characterised by 1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and crystallographic methods. In the complexes C–H⋯π or N–H⋯π hydrogen bonds are the principal intermolecular interactions. The stability constants for the complexes are determined by 1H NMR titration in acetonitrile–methanol (1 ∶ 1) solution. Crystal structures of four of the complexes and three of the Lewis-base triphenylborane products are reported.
Steam-activated FeMFI zeolites. Evolution of iron species and activity in direct N2O decomposition
2003
Abstract In this paper the effect of the composition and steaming conditions of FeMFI catalysts on activity in direct N2O decomposition is investigated. MFI zeolites with different framework compositions (FeAlSi, FeGaSi, and FeSi) and without iron ( 100 mbar H2O in N2) favor the extraction of framework iron, enabling the application of lower activation temperatures. The optimum temperature during steam activation is that at which extraction of framework iron is complete without extensive clustering of extra-framework iron species into oxide particles, as was demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy and electrochemical characterization of the samples. Additional experiments show…
Influence of the preparation method on the thiophene HDS activity of silica supported CoMo catalysts
2002
Abstract The effect of the preparation method of CoMo/SiO2 catalysts with and without sodium ions, on the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of thiophene was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and N2 physisorption (BET). The samples were prepared by total sol–gel route, by classic wetness impregnation and by co-impregnation, in the presence of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), of commercial and sol–gel prepared silica. The influence of sodium ions added to the sol mixture and to the silica before the impregnation with Co and Mo salt solution, was also considered. The presence of sodium favoured the phase transition of amorphous silica to cristobalite with con…
Equilibrium and spectroscopic studies of diethyltin(iv) complexes formed with hydroxymono- and di-carboxylic acids and their thioanalogues
2002
The complex formation of diethyltin(IV) cation with glycolic (GA), lactic (LA), succinic (SA), malic (MA), tartaric (TA), mercaptoacetic (MAA), 2-mercaptopropionic (MPA), mercaptosuccinic (MSA) and dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) has been investigated by potentiometric, spectrophotometric, 1H NMR and Mossbauer spectroscopic methods. The mercaptocarboxylic acids yielded much more stable complexes than the corresponding hydroxy acids. Below pH 3, the carboxylate and the still protonated hydroxyl group of hydroxy acids are co-ordinated to the metal ion, while in the case of their thio analogues, {COO−, S−} co-ordinated species are dominant. With increasing pH, the metal promoted deprotonation o…

Synthetic Application of Homogeneous Charge Transfer Catalysis in the Electrocarboxylation of Benzyl Halides
1998
The results of an investigation on the performances of some outer sphere electron transfer homogeneous catalysts in the electrocarboxylation of 1-(p-isobutyl-phenyl)-1-chloroethane to 2-(p-isobutyl-phenyl)-propionic acid (Ibuprofen), using as catalysts the esters of benzoic and o-, m-, and p-phtalic acids, are reported. The performances of the catalysts are evaluated on the basis of the following parameters: faradic yields of the carboxylation and decomposition of the catalyst. The performances of dimethylisophtalate have been examined in greater detail. The rate of decomposition of the catalyst is related to the molar ratio [halide]/[catalyst].
