Investigation of Polyol Adsorption on Ru, Pd, and Re Using vdW Density Functionals
2015
Biomass-based feedstocks are often oxygenated compounds characterized by large amounts of hydroxyls. As an example, polyols and sugar alcohols are largely employed as reactants for different chemical catalytic transformations such as oxidation, dehydration, and hydrodeoxigenation, which usually occur in aqueous medium. With the goal of gaining new insights into processes that could be industrially relevant, the adsorption of the OH groups on metal surfaces and in the presence of water has to be correctly reproduced and described, within a chosen theoretical framework. Toward this goal, several tests were performed on the catalytically relevant metal Ru, Pd, and Re, benchmarking their bulk a…
Synthesis, Structure and Catalytic Properties of Dinuclear Mo-VI Complexes with Ditopic Diaminotetraphenols
2013
MoVI complexes with novel ditopic diaminotetraphenol ligands have been prepared by using a one-pot procedure in methanol or DMSO with [MoO2(acac)2] (acac = acetylacetonate) as the molybdenum source. The complexes were characterised with X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopic studies, elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. In the solid state, the compounds represent either a rodlike molecular or oxido-bridged polymeric structure. The catalytic activity of the complexes was investigated by oxidising benzyl alcohol and 1-phenylethanol with hydrogen peroxide to the corresponding aldehyde and ketone, respectively. Furthermore, the catalytic activity was surveyed also in epoxidation of cyclooctene.
Proton Conducting Membrane Prepared by Cross-Linking Highly Sulfonated Peek for PEMFC Application
2009
The proton conducting membrane was prepared by cross-linking highly sulfonated and sulfinated poly(etheretherketone) (SsPEEK). The cross-linked membrane is low cost due to its use of non-expensive chemical and simple production procedure. The membrane exhibited high proton conductivity (0.04 S/cm at 60 °C), extremely reduced water uptake, enhanced strength and stability compared with that of non-cross-linked membrane. These results suggested that the cross-linked PEEK membrane is a suitable candidate of proton conducting membranes for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) applications, particularly promising to be used in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) due to its lower methanol c…
Studien zum Vorgang der Wasserstoffübertragung 46. Zur kathodischen Spaltung von Alkyl- und Cycloalkyl(triphenyl)-phosphoniumsalzen; Abhängigkeit der…
1977
Die kathodische Spaltung von Methyl-, Butyl- und einiger Cycloalkyl(triphenyl)phosphoniumsalze wurde potentiostatisch und galvanostatisch durchgefuhrt. Beim Methyl(triphenyl)-phosphoniumsalz hangt die prozentuale Zusammensetzung der Spaltprodukte: Triphenylphosphin und Methyl(diphenyl)phosphin sowohl vom Potential als auch von der Temperatur ab, die sich ihrerseits wieder gegenseitig beeinflussen. Zusatze unterschiedlich strukturierter quartarer Ammoniumsalze als Leitsalz verandern das prozentuale Verhaltnis (C6H5)3P/(C6H5)2PCH3 nicht, wohl aber der Zusatz von Essigsaure, welche die Bildung von Methyl(diphenyl)phosphin begunstigt. - Bei den Cycloalkyl(triphenyl)phosphoniumsalzen mit Cyclohe…
Electron-transfer reduction of selected alcohols with alkalide K−, K+(15-crown-5)2 via organometallic intermediates
2004
Abstract The course of the reaction of alkalide K − , K + (15-crown-5) 2 1 with selected alcohols depends on the kind of alcohol and the mode of substrate delivery. In the case of methanol, potassium methoxide formed initially undergoes destruction at the excess of 1 . It results in potassium oxide and methylpotassium. The latter opens the crown ether ring giving potassium tetraethylene glycoxide vinyl ether and methane. A similar course of the process is observed for propanol. Potassium glycidoxide is the main product formed in the reaction of 1 with glycidol. Its oxirane ring is opened at the excess of 1 . Organopotassium alkoxides, i.e., potassium potassiomethoxide and dipotassium potass…
Ion pair association in isodielectric mixtures at 25�C
1974
Conductance measurements of potassium perchlorate and iodide have been carried out on the following mixtures: methanol-ethylene carbonate, acetone-ethylene carbonate, acetonitrile-ethylene carbonate, sulfolane-ethylene carbonate, isodielectric with water; and in benzene-sulfolane, benzene-acetonitrile, ethanol-sulfolane, isodielectric with methanol. The extent of ionic association at a given concentration in two solvents of the same dielectric constant is greater in the aprotic solvent.
Photocatalytic oxidation of aromatic alcohols to aldehydes in aqueous suspension of home-prepared titanium dioxide
2008
Abstract Oxygenated aqueous suspensions of home-prepared (HP) and commercial TiO2 catalysts were used in a batch photoreactor for carrying out the oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BA) and 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (MBA) under different operative conditions. HP catalysts were synthesized from TiCl4 and underwent a hydrolysis treatment of different times under mild conditions. The textural characterization of catalysts was carried out with XRD, SEM observations, BET surface area and porosity measurements. For both alcohols the main oxidation products were the corresponding aromatic aldehydes and CO2. The HP catalysts exhibited selectivity values towards the aldehyde production up to 28% (BA convers…
Phase Behavior of the System Linear Polyglycerol + Methanol + Carbon Dioxide
2011
To compare the phase behavior of linear and hyperbranched polymers, the phase envelopes of the ternary system linear polyglycerol + methanol + carbon dioxide were determined for polymers of varying molar mass. Phase changes were detected by a static synthetic method using the Cailletet setup for temperatures between 331 K and 421 K and pressures up to 13.1 MPa. Besides the vapor–liquid and liquid–liquid equilibria, also the vapor–liquid to vapor–liquid–liquid and vapor–liquid–liquid to liquid–liquid phase boundaries are reported. The experimental results are similar to systems with hyperbranched polymers (rather than linear polymers). For the systems with linear polymers, however, the bubbl…
A new ceramide from the leaves of Lannea schimperi (Hochst. ex A.Rich.) Engl.
2020
A new ceramide is being reported herein together with six known compounds from the methanol extract of the leaves of Lannea schimperi (Hochst. ex A.Rich.) Engl. The metabolites were obtained through repeated open column chromatography and were characterized by spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques. The radical-scavenging activity of the crude extract and isolated compounds was evaluated using the DPPH radical. The obtained results suggest the studied species as prominent candidate to fight reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Use of reversed-phase C18 Sep-Pak cartridges for the purification and concentration of sepiapterin and other pteridines
1985
Abstract Several pteridines have been tested for their ability to bind to C 18 Sep-Pak. Riboflavin, sepiapterin, deoxysepiapterin, 6-acetyl-7,8-dihydropterin, 6-acetyldihydrohomopterin and 3′-hydroxysepiapterin were strongly retained and all but 6-acetyldihydrohomopterin quantitatively recovered upon elution with 2 ml of methanol. The effect of the concentration and volume of the sample, pH and salt concentration on the retention of sepiapterin have been studied. The procedure was very useful for the purification, desalting, solvent exchange and concentration of pteridines having high affinity for the cartridge. C 18 Sep-Pak has been applied succesfully to sample clean-up prior to high-perf…
