Morphological and Chemical Evolution of Gradually Deposited Diamond-Like Carbon Films on Polyethylene Terephthalate: From Subplantation Processes to …

2016

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are nowadays intensively studied composites due to their excellent gas barrier properties and biocompatibility. Despite their applicative features being highly explored, the interface properties and structural film evolution of DLC coatings on PET during deposition processes are still sparsely investigated. In this study two different types of DLC films were gradually deposited on PET by radio frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) using acetylene plasma. The surface morphology of the deposited samples has been analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Their chemical composition was investigated by …

Dehydrogenation versus Oxygenation in Two-Electron and Four-Electron Reduction of Dioxygen by 9-Alkyl-10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridines Catalyzed by Mo…

2004

Dehydrogenation of 10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (AcrH(2)) by dioxygen (O(2)) proceeds efficiently, accompanied by the two-electron and four-electron reduction of O(2) to produce H(2)O(2) and H(2)O, which are effectively catalyzed by monomeric cobalt porphyrins and cofacial dicobalt porphyrins in the presence of perchloric acid (HClO(4)) in acetonitrile (MeCN) and benzonitrile (PhCN), respectively. The cobalt porphyrin catalyzed two-electron reduction of O(2) also occurs efficiently by 9-alkyl-10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridines (AcrHR; R = Me, Et, and CH(2)COOEt) to yield 9-alkyl-10-methylacridinium ion (AcrR+) and H(2)O(2). In the case of R = Bu(t) and CMe(2)COOMe, however, the catalytic two…

1,4-Benzoquinones with Styryl Substituents

2002

2-Styryl-1,4-benzoquinone (1) and compounds 2 and 3 containing 1 as a substructure all proved to be highly reactive towards thermal or photochemical [4π + 2π] cyclodimerization reactions. Chemo-, regio- and stereoselective processes lead to dimers (compounds 1−10), which can undergo secondary reactions consisting of the addition of nucleophiles combined with a twofold keto-enol tautomerism (10 ⇄ 12). An alternative process is dehydrogenation/oxidation followed by an intramolecular [4π + 2π] cycloaddition (10 ⇄ 11). The same selective [4π + 2π] cyclodimerization can be observed in solution upon irradiation (e.g., 1a ⇄ 10a), in contrast to irradiation in the crystalline state which yields a […

Evolution of the optimal catalytic systems for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane: The role of adsorption in the catalytic performance

2022

Three samples that correspond to the evolution of optimal catalytic systems for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane have been synthesized and compared in terms of catalytic behavior and adsorption properties: (i) vanadium oxide supported on alumina, (ii) Sn-promoted NiO, and (iii) multicomponent MoVTeNbO with the M1 structure. The main difference in catalytic performance lies in the extent of the overoxidation of the ethylene formed, following the order VOx/Al2O3 > NiSnOx > MoVTeNb-M1. Accordingly, the selectivity to ethylene at medium and high ethane conversion follows the order MoVTeNb-M1 > NiSnOx > VOx/Al2O3. These results are confirmed by the relative reaction rates observed for the…

Direct oxidation of isobutane to methacrolein over V-MCM-41 catalysts

2004

High vanadium content mesoporous vanado-silicates with MCM-41-like structure, obtained by the atrane route, catalyse the direct oxidation of isobutane to methacrolein with 30% selectivity, and a total dehydrogenation (olefin plus methacrolein) selectivity up to 74%.

Coordinatively Unsaturated Amidotitanocene Cations with Inverted σ and π Bond Strengths: Controlled Release of Aminyl Radicals and Hydrogenation/Dehy…

2021

Cationic amidotitanocene complexes [Cp2 Ti(NPhAr)][B(C6 F5 )4 ] (Cp=η5 -C5 H5 ; Ar=phenyl (1 a), p-tolyl (1 b), p-anisyl (1 c)) were isolated. The bonding situation was studied by DFT (Density Functional Theory) using EDA-NOCV (Energy Decomposition Analysis with Natural Orbitals for Chemical Valence). The polar Ti-N bond in 1 a-c features an unusual inversion of σ and π bond strengths responsible for the balance between stability and reactivity in these coordinatively unsaturated species. In solution, 1 a-c undergo photolytic Ti-N cleavage to release Ti(III) species and aminyl radicals ⋅NPhAr. Reaction of 1 b with H3 BNHMe2 results in fast homolytic Ti-N cleavage to give [Cp2 Ti(H3 BNHMe2 )…

The effect of β-mercaptoethanol on lactate dehydrogenase from rat brain

1963

Abstract Catalytic studies on lactate dehydrogenase from rat brain in the presence of β-mercaptoethanol have been performed. It has been found that pyruvate reduction and lactate dehydrogenation were differently affected by the addition of the sulfhydryl compound to the reaction mixture. The effect of β-mercaptoethanol on the catalyzed reaction has been shown to be dependent on the hydrogen ion concentration. When lactate dehydrogenation is measured, β-mercaptoethanol causes a net enhancement of the reaction rate at the more acidic pH values.

Investigation of polymer organic deposit formed on nickel phosphate in oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene

1997

Abstract Several polymer organic deposits (PODS) had been obtained by heating of nickel polyphosphate (NiP) at 720 K for 1, 4, or 10 h in a stream of helium (carrier gas) containing 20% of (ethylbenzene : oxygen= 1: 0.5] mixture. The samples were tested in oxidative dehydrogenation (OD) of ethylbenzene (EB) to styrene, before and after their separation from the inorganic part of NiP as catalysts. Some functional groups or bonds, important for enhancement of styrene yield, have been found in the PODS. The POD obtained after 10-h coking of NiP, containing a mixture of both insoluble fused-ring and soluble-in-pyridine macromolecules, provided with at least two types of catalytically active cen…

ChemInform Abstract: 3,4-Dihydro-2H-pyrrole-2-carbonitriles: Useful Intermediates in the Synthesis of Fused Pyrroles and 2,2′-Bipyrroles.

2016

Various heterocyclic structures containing the pyrrole moiety have been synthesized from easily accessible 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole-2-carbonitriles in one-pot procedures. 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydroindolizines, 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizines as well as 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepines were obtained from these precursors in high yields in an alkylation/annulation sequence. The same conditions were applied in the synthesis of a 5,8-dihydroindolizine, which could easily be transformed to the corresponding indolizine by dehydrogenation. Furthermore, oxidative couplings of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole-2-carbonitriles with copper(II)-salts furnished 2,2′-bipyrroles as well as 5,5′-bis(5-cyano-1-pyrroline…
