Alkane dehydrogenation on defective BN quasi-molecular nanoflakes: DFT studies

2020

Lower alkanes are feedstocks readily available but relatively inert. The con- version of low cost alkanes to industrially relevant alkenes is usually carried out on metal-based heterogeneous catalysts. Considering both the cost and the potential harmfulness of the metal involved in the dehydrogenation cat- alysts (typically, platinum or chromium), the study of metal-free processes represents an important challenge for the industrial chemistry in order to address more sustainable protocols and different routes either to activate or transform alkanes. Framed in this context, it was investigated, using a den- sity functional theory approach, the potential dehydrogenation activity of de- fectiv…

Poly(9,10-dihydroanthrylenetrimethylene) (2) comprises a novel chain-type structure in which 9,10-dihydroanthracene units are linked by flexible spacer groups. Upon dehydrogenation with sulfur at elevated temperature, polymer 2 is converted into the corresponding polyanthrylene system 3. NMR- and UV-spectroscopic data provide firm evidence for the dehydrogenation process. The polymer 3 was subjected to reduction with active lithium, and the resulting polyanions were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and by quenching experiments. It appears that each anthracene unit of the chain can be charged with two electrons.

Iron(II) Complexes with Scorpiand-Like Macrocyclic Polyamines: Kinetico-Mechanistic Aspects of Complex Formation and Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Coo…

2017

The Fe(II) coordination chemistry of a pyridinophane tren-derived scorpiand type ligand containing a pyridine ring in the pendant arm is explored by potentiometry, X-ray, NMR, and kinetics methods. Equilibrium studies in water show the formation of a stable [FeL]2+ complex that converts to monoprotonated and monohydroxylated species when the pH is changed. A [Fe(H–2L)]2+ complex containing an hexacoordinated dehydrogenated ligand has been isolated, and its crystal structure shows the formation of an imine bond involving the aliphatic nitrogen of the pendant arm. This complex is low spin Fe(II) both in the solid state and in solution, as revealed by the Fe–N bond lengths and by the NMR spect…

Pentakis(dimethylzinn)diphosphid, struktur und kernresonanzspektren eines zinnreichen bicyclus

1979

Abstract Dehydrogenation of dimethylstannane combined with the hydrostannolysis of white phosphorus yields pentakis(dimethyltin) diphosphide, a tin-rich heterocyclic compound, which has the highly symmetric, bicyclic molecular structure of norbornane. Using the X-ray structure data the magnetic resonance spectra are discussed.

The effect of potassium on the selective oxidation ofn-butane and ethane over Al2O3-supported vanadia catalysts

1995

The catalytic properties of undoped and K-doped (K/V atomic ratio of 0.5) Al2O3-supported vanadia catalysts (∼4.5 wt% of V2O5) for the oxidation ofn-butane and ethane were studied. Isolated tetrahedral V5+ species are mainly observed in both undoped and K-doped samples. The incorporation of potassium decreases both the reducibility of surface vanadium species and the number of surface acid sites. Potassium-free vanadium catalysts show a high selectivity during the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of ethane but a low selectivity during the ODH ofn-butane. However, the presence of potassium on the vanadium catalysts strongly influences their catalytic properties, increasing the selectivity to …

Pyrrole Studies. Part 40.1Synthesis of 2- and 3-Substitoted 1-Methylindoles from Vinylpyrroles.

1988

Abstract 4-Substituted-2-vinylpyrroles are more reactive than 2-substituted-4-vinylpyrroles in their reaction with DMAD to yield, respectively, 6/7- and 4,5-dihydroindoles, which are readily dehydrogenated to give indoles possessing electron-withdrawing substitutents at the 3- and 2-positions.

Selective oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane on MoVTeNbO mixed metal oxide catalysts

2004

Abstract MoVTeNbO catalysts, prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, are active and highly selective in the ODH of ethane, especially those with a MoVTeNb molar ratio of 1–0.15–0.16–0.17 and heat-treated at 600–650 °C. On the best catalyst, selectivities higher than 80% at ethane conversion levels higher than 80% have been obtained operating at relatively low reaction temperatures (340–400 °C). Thus, yields of ethylene of ca. 75% have been obtained, which exceeds the best yield reported in the literature. Te 2 M 20 O 57 ( M =Mo, V, Nb) and (V,Nb)-substituted θ -Mo 5 O 14 , in addition to small amounts of the Te 0.33 M O 3.33 ( M =Mo, V, Nb) phase, can be proposed in the most selective cataly…

ChemInform Abstract: Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation of Ketones with a Silica-Supported Peracid in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide under Flow Conditions.

2009

[2-Percarboxyethyl]-functionalized silica reacts with ketones in supercritical carbon dioxide at 250 bar and 40 °C under flow conditions to yield the corresponding esters and lactones. The solid reagent can be easily recycled through treatment with 70% hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an acid at 0 °C. This procedure not only simplifies the isolation of the reaction products, but has the advantage of using only water and carbon dioxide as solvents under mild conditions.

Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane: A study over the structure and robustness of Ni–W–O catalysts

2014

[EN] The robustness of one selected Ni-W-O catalyst has been studied in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane. This catalyst initially deactivates for the first 10 h online decreasing 15% of its catalytic activity compared to its initial stable catalytic activity. However from 10 to 60 h online the catalytic activity keeps almost stable. On the other hand, it has been shown that the Ni-W-O catalyst cannot tolerate an oxygen-free atmosphere (C-2 and He) as nickel oxide is transformed into metallic nickel. Methane and hydrogen as well as abundant coke were formed on the surface of the catalyst in these O-free conditions. However a re-calcination in air leads to the removal of coke, the cata…
