Hydrogenation rate was structure sensitive with lower turnover frequencies (TOF) over larger Au nanoparticles in the 4–8 nm interval and a decrease in TOF for Au ≤ 3 nm. This size dependence also applies to H2 chemisorption under reaction conditions. Rate normalised with respect to H2 uptake showed a dependence on support redox potential where the formation of oxygen vacancies (from O2 titration) served to stabilise the −NO2 group, lowering reactivity. Reaction over Au/TiO2 with modified electronic character (from XPS) deviated from this trend and delivered the highest specific hydrogenation rate, which is attributed to –NO2 activation at the Au-TiO2 interface; this effect extends to TiO2 supported Ag and Pd.","PeriodicalId":43717,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Structure & Reactivity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2055074X.2017.1414345","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49347569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the synthons available for synthesis of neonicotinoids, tetrachlorothiophene is unique. The bulk scale synthesis of tetrachlorothiophene is reported only by cyclization of hexachloro-1,3-butadiene. The reaction yields of synthesis of this synthon are around 45%. We report silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles as a generic catalyst for this cyclization reaction yielding tetrachlorothiophene. The yield improvement is 50–60% more compared to original yield. The distillate crystallization in methanol yielded >98% pure compound compared to typical 90–92% in conventional process.

Waugh","doi":"10.1080/2055074X.2017.1281718","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/2055074X.2017.1281718","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Cobalt supported on a number of different metal oxides are often used in the Fischer–Tropsch (FT) reaction. No obvious rationale for the composition of the metal oxide used exists. In this paper we examine the possibility that some form of interaction between the metal and the metal oxide support exists which enhances the activity of the Co metal. To this effect, we have supported Co metal on a series of metal oxides of different degrees of reducibility: (i) Al2O3 which is unreducible under FT conditions, (ii) ZrO2 which can be reduced to a small extent under FT conditions, and (iii) ZnO which can be reduced to a measurable degree under FT conditions. The postulate was that the more reducible support will have the greater number of trapped electrons at anion vacancies, and so will have the greater possibility of transferring these electrons from the support to the metal, giving rise to a sequentially greater metal/metal oxide interaction. We have previously shown that temperature programmed desorption/decomposition of formate species adsorbed on Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 (methanol synthesis catalysts) has been able to identify adsorption sites on: (i) the Cu metal, (ii) the ZnO, (iii) Al2O3 and (iv) at the Cu/ZnO interface. Here we have used the same probe reaction, namely the adsorption and temperature programmed desorption/decomposition of a formate species, to identify and predict the extent of metal/metal oxide interaction. The whole system, the kinetics of the decomposition of the formate used, and the different forms of metal oxide support used constituted a predictive possibility of what would constitute an active metal oxide supported Co catalyst on (i) Co supported on Al2O3, on (ii) Co supported on ZrO2 and (iii) on Co supported on ZnO. The ZnO support is shown to provide the greatest extent of charge transfer from the support to the Co, evidenced by the lowest temperature for desorption/decomposition of the formate of all the supports used, and the largest amount of CO in the product spectrum. The in situ N2O reactive frontal chromatography measurement of the Co metal area showed the formate species to be closely packed on the Co.

The use of INS spectroscopy has allowed observation of several of the low energy modes for the first time, the most significant of which is the C1–C1′ torsion at 485 cm−1.

To facilitate materials and application innovation, a better understanding of the interactions between organophosphonates and surfaces is required. To this end, we have used diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy to investigate the adsorption geometry of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) on MoO3, a material used in chemical warfare agent filtration devices. We further applied ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature programmed desorption to study the adsorption and desorption of DMMP. While DMMP adsorbs intact on MoO3, desorption depends on coverage and partial pressure. At low coverages under UHV conditions, the intact adsorption is reversible. Decomposition occurs with higher coverages, as evidenced by PCHx and POx decomposition products on the MoO3 surface. Heating under mTorr partial pressures of DMMP results in product accumulation.","PeriodicalId":43717,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Structure & Reactivity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2055074X.2017.1278891","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48550590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
