A new cell for the study of in situ chemical reactions using X-ray absorption spectroscopy
2005
An in situ cell for reductive and oxidative treatments at different temperatures that allows the possibility of recording data as a function of temperature has been designed and constructed for X-ray absorption experiments at the GILDA beamline BM08 of ESRF. The cell is linked to a mass quadrupole spectrometer providing control of the reaction gases and monitoring of the products. The apparatus allows measurements to be performed both in transmission and fluorescence geometry. The cell was tested by studying the CO oxidation reaction promoted by a Pt/ceria-zirconia-supported catalyst. The CO(2) yield is correlated with the structural results confirming the existence of a strong metal-suppor…
Organocatalytic Enantioselective Friedel–Crafts Aminoalkylation of Indoles in the Carbocyclic Ring
2016
The first general catalytic method for the, so far elusive, enantioselective Friedel−Crafts functionalization of indoles in the carbocyclic ring is presented. This transformation contrasts with the usual tendency of these heterocycles to react at the azole ring. For this purpose, the four regioisomeric hydroxy carbocyclic-substituted indoles were reacted with several isatinderived ketimines, using a Cinchona alkaloid-based squaramide, in a low 0.5−5 mol % catalyst loading, as a bifunctional catalyst. This methodology allows the functionalization of indoles in every position of the carbocyclic ring in a regio- and enantioselective fashion, by switching only the position of the hydroxy group …

Enhancing Performance of a Bis(arylimino)pyridine‐Iron Precatalyst for Ethylene Polymerization by Substitution with a 2,4‐Bis(4,4′‐dimethoxybenzhydry…
2021
A series of unsymmetrical 2-(2,4-bis(bis(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl)-6-MeC6H2N)-6-(1-(arylimino)ethyl)pyridine-iron halides has been synthesized and characterized. The molecular structure of two representative species was determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Activated with either MAO or MMAO, the precatalysts displayed high activity, reaching 2.19×107 g PE (mol Fe)−1 h−1 at 60 °C in ethylene polymerization. The microstructural analysis of the polymers obtained indicates highly linear polyethylene containing a vinyl chain end.
New Insights into the Stoichiometric and Catalytic Reactivity of Unsaturated Pd 3 (dppm) 3 CO n + Clusters ( n = 0, 1) Towards Halocarbons – First Ev…
2005
The title clusters, Pd 3 (dppm) 3 (CO) + and Pd 3 (dppm) 3 (CO) 0 can be electrochemically generated from the 1- and 2-electron reductions, respectively, of the Pd 3 (dppm) 3 (CO) 2 + cluster [dppm = bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane; Pd 3 2 + ]. Pd 3 + reacts in a stoichiometric ratio with methyl iodide, MeI, and benzyl bromide, BzBr, in THF to provide the corresponding Pd 3 (X) + adducts (X = I, Br respectively) as inorganic products. Other products are Bz 2 and PhMe for BzBr but, for MeI, no organic product was observed (since they are too volatile). In the presence of the same substrates, Pd 3 0 also reacts in a stoichiometric ratio to form the same organics and the Pd 3 -(X) + adducts (X …
Non-oxidative dehydroaromatization of methane:an effective reaction regeneration cyclic operation for catalyst life extension
2015
[EN] Non-oxidative methane aromatization is an attractive direct route for producing higher hydrocarbons. It is highly selective to benzene despite the low conversion due to thermodynamic limitations, and Mo/H-ZSM-5, the first catalyst proposed for this reaction, is still considered as one of the most adequate. The major problem of this process is the severe catalyst deactivation due to the rapid build-up of carbonaceous deposits on the catalysts. Here we present an effective regeneration procedure that extends the life of Mo/zeolite based catalysts by combining reaction periods of 1.5 h with 0.5 h regeneration steps in a continuous cyclic mode and methane activation after each regeneration…
Ion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography of nucleotides and polypeptides on new types of ion-exchange sorbents, based on polystyrene-coate…
1991
A novel type of ion exchanger was prepared by multipoint covalent binding of polystyrene chains onto the surface of porous silica followed by polymer-analogous modification of the bonded layer. Both anion and cation exchangers were synthesized and examined in the separation of nucleotides and proteins. Rapid and efficient separation of basic polypeptides on strong anion exchangers and that of acidic polypeptides on strong cation exchangers could be achieved. For the separation of complete mixtures of polypeptides the application of zwitter-ionic ion exchangers can be recommended.
Ziegler–Natta catalysts based on vanadium halides: a DFT study
2003
Abstract Ziegler–Natta ethylene insertion into the carbon–metal bond for a number of fragments containing vanadium on different oxidation states as well as the halogen ligands has been studied by means of DFT. It is shown that the complexation and insertion energies are strongly influenced by the charge on the transition metal atom and, to some extent, by the electronegativity of the halogen atom. Complexation energy varies in the range −129 to −159 kJ/mol for charged species and −64 to −77 kJ/mol for neutral ones. Insertion energy follows a similar pattern and ranges from −28 to −62 and −82 to −100 kJ/mol, respectively. The calculated values are compared with the experimental results and d…
Polypyrrole–palladium nanoparticles composite as efficient catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling
2012
International audience; Synthesis of a new hybrid material (Pd/PPy) composed of polypyrrole globules with uniformly incorporated Pd nanoparticles via direct redox reaction between pyrrole and Pd(NH3)(4)Cl-2 in water has been recently reported (V.A. Zinovyeva, M.A.Vorotyntsev, I. Bezverkhyy, D. Chaumont, J.-C. Hierso, Adv. Funct. Mater. 21 (2011) 1064-1075). In the actual study, this procedure has been extended to synthesize a series of Pd/PPy powders with variable palladium content and morphological parameters. Depending on the monomer-to-oxidant ratio in reaction mixture, average diameters of Pd and PPy particles may change in the ranges of 1.25-1.45 and 27-62 nm, respectively, the Pd conc…
Highly Loaded Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Non-Covalently Modified with a Bis-Imidazolium Salt and their Use as Catalyst Supports
2016
The surfaces of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were non-covalently modified using two bis-imidazolium dibromide derivatives having phenyl or pyrene groups. Due to the presence of the two pyrene groups the bis(pyren-1-ylmethylimidazolium) dibromide derivative was immobilised at a loading of about 15-16 wt %, whereas only <3 wt % of the phenyl derivative was immobilised. The presence of the two imidazolium cations helped the immobilisation of tetrachloropalladate ions after exchange with bromide ions. Tetrachloropalladate was used as pre-catalyst in several Suzuki-Miyaura carbon-carbon cross-coupling reactions in water or water/ethanol at 50 °C in only 0.1 mol % and compared with the …
