Fr-IR, UV-vis and EPR spectroscopic investigations reveal that CO2 coordinates to Cu in eta(1)-C mode of coordination.

The nature, type, and oxidation state of Mn species in ceria were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance UV-visible spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and temperature-programmed reduction techniques. The study reveals that the method of preparation significantly influences the type of manganese species in ceria. Wet-impregnation, coprecipitation, and solid-state synthesis techniques lead to clustered MnOx-like species in the ceria matrix, while the present method of preparation (solution combustion route) yields a highly dispersed form of Mn species. In the reported series of samples, Mn is present mainly in +2 and +3 oxidation states and there is no evidence for the presence of Mn 41 species. Powder X-ray diffraction studies at variable temperatures (298-1323 K) indicate the formation of Ce1-xMnxO2-delta Solid solutions. No separate MnOx-type phase was detected even at 1323 K. EPR studies reveal that the isolated Mn2+ and Mn2+ species are present in at least three different structural locations: species A, Mn ions in ceria-lattice defect sites; species B, Mn ions in framework Ce4+ locations; and species C, Mn ions in interstitial locations and at the surface of ceria. The Mn3+ ions in ceria exhibit a facile reduction and reoxidation behavior when exposed to dry hydrogen and subsequently to air at elevated. temperatures. A highly dispersed state of Mn3+ and Mn2+ in ceria, facile redox behavior, and a synergistic Mn-ceria interaction are some of the unique properties of this material prepared by the solution combustion procedure.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9.407</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saikia, Lakshi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Srinivas, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ratnasamy, Paul</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemo-, regio- and stereo-selective aerial oxidation of limonene to the endo-1,2-epoxide over Mn(Salen)-sulfonated SBA-15</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Applied Catalysis A-General</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">aerial oxidation of limonene</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">catalysis by Mn(Salen) complexes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">chemo-</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">immobilized Mn Schiff base complexes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mesoporous molecular sieves</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mukaiyama-type oxidation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">regio- and stereo-selective epoxidation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">sulfonic acid-functionalized SBA-15</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JUL</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">309</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">144-154</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Mn(Salen) complexes immobilized on sulfonic acid-functionalized SBA-15 molecular sieves (SBA-15-pr-SO3-Mn(Salen)) catalyze the Mukaiyama-type oxidation of R-(+)-limonene selectively to the 1,2-epoxide with molecular oxygen at 298 K (Salen = N,N-ethylenebis(salicylidenaminato)). The endo-diastereomer is formed with a diasteromeric excess of 39.8%. This catalyst exhibited higher catalytic activity than ``neat'' Mn(Salen) complexes directly supported on SBA-15 or zeolite-Y. A change in the oxidation state of Mn from +3 in the ``neat'' complex to +2 when immobilized on the sulfonated surface is a probable cause for the observed enhancement of catalytic activity. A part of the Mn complexes was leached out of the solid phase during the reaction. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

We report their novel application as highly efficient solid catalysts for the transesterification reactions of carbonates. The catalysts were prepared from aqueous solutions of ZnCl2 and K4Fe(CN)(6) in the presence of tert-butanol (complexing agent) and tri-block copolymer EO20PO70EO20 (average molecular weight, 5800; co-complexing agent). They were characterized by chemical analysis, XRD, thermal analysis, N-2 adsorption, magnetic susceptibility, SEM, and FTIR, diffuse reflectance UV-visible, EPR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. Their acidity was determined from the IR spectra of adsorbed pyridine and the temperature-programmed desorption of NH3. Catalyst samples prepared with both complexing and co-complexing agents were found to be more acidic and catalytically active than those prepared without these agents. These catalysts are more active/selective than other solid catalysts hitherto reported. Dimethyl carbonate, for example, could be synthesized with 100% selectivity and an isolated yield of &amp;gt;86% by the reaction of propene carbonate with methanol. The catalysts can be recycled without significant loss in activity. Lewis acidic Zn ions are the possible active sites for the transesterification reaction.

The catalysts are hydrophobic (no H2O adsorption at reaction temperatures) and contain only Lewis acidic sites (NH3 and pyridine adsorption). Bronsted acid sites are absent (absence of 1546 and 1639 cm(-1) bands on adsorption of pyridine). Basic sites are also absent (no CO2 adsorption). Unlike the homogeneous or other solid catalysts (like ZnO-Al2O3, for example), the Fe-Zn, DMC catalysts are highly active even for the simultaneous transesterification of triglycerides and esterification of the free fatty acids (FFA) present in unrefined and waste cooking oils as well as non-edible oils. They are also tolerant of water, probably, due to their surface hydrophobicity. A relationship between the transesterification activity and the concentration of strong Lewis acid sites has been observed. Coordinatively unsaturated Zn2+ ions in the structure of the Fe-Zn complex are the probable active sites. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

The surface basicity of SBA-15 was modified with nitrogen-based organic molecules of varying basicity viz., alkyl amines (-NH2), adenine (Ade), imidazole (Im) and guanine (Gua). The surface of SBA-15 was also functionalized with Ti4+ and Al3+ species. The acid-base properties of these modified SBA-15 materials were investigated by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy. NH3 and pyridine were used as probe molecules for acid sites, while CO, was used to characterize the basic sites. CO was activated at the basic amine sites forming surface carbamate species (IR peaks: 1609 and 1446 cm(-1)). The latter reacted further with epoxides adsorbed on the acid sites forming cyclic carbonates. A correlation between the intensity of the IR peak at 1609 cm(-1) and cyclic carbonate yield has been observed. The cyclic carbonate yields were higher when both the acid and base functionalities were present on the surface.

By a suitable choice of silicate structure (VS-1 or V-MCM-41), solvent and oxidant (H(2)O(2), tert.-butyl hydroperoxide or H(2)+O2()), the V-O bond covalency and mode of O-O bond cleavage in the oxo-species and thereby, the chemoselectivity in the oxidation of the terminal carbon atoms in paraffins could be controlled.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15th International Zeolite Conference, Beijing, PEOPLES R CHINA, AUG 12-17, 2007</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Srinivas, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ratnasamy, P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spectroscopic and catalytic properties of SBA-15 molecular sieves functionalized with acidic and basic moieties</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Microporous and Mesoporous Materials</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">aerial oxidation of terpenes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CO2 utilization</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cyclic carbonates synthesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">epoxidation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">functionalization with acidic and basic moieties</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">immobilization of Mn complexes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">organo-functionalization of SBA-15</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">solid acid-base catalysts</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SEP</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-2</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">105</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">170-180</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;SBA-15, grafted with Lewis acidic Ti4+ ions and basic amines (imidazole, guanine or adenine) exhibited high catalytic activity in the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides yielding selectively cyclic carbonate precursors of polycarbonates. In the second class of materials, the surface of SBA-15 was grafted with thiol or sulfonic acid functionalities. Mn(Salen)Cl was, then, covalently bound to these acidic groups. The resulting catalysts show enhanced chemo-, regio- and stereo-selective catalytic activity in the epoxidation of terpenes such as R-(+)limonene, alpha-pinene and Delta-carene with molecular oxygen. The acid-base properties of these modified SBA- 15 materials were investigated by temperature-programmed desorption and diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. Ammonia and pyridine were used as probe molecules for acidic sites and CO2 for basic sites. Acidic Ti sites activated epoxides and the grafted basic amines activated CO2. The simultaneous presence of both acidic and basic sites on amine/adenine-functionalized Ti-SBA-15 enabled synergistic enhancement in catalytic activity in the cycloaddition reaction of CO2 to epoxides. When Mn(Salen)Cl was immobilized on thiol or sulfonic acid-functionalized SBA-15, the oxidation state of Mn decreased from +3 to +2. The organo-acidic functional groups (thiol or sulfonic acid) axialk, coordinated to Mn ions modified the electronic structure of Mn ions enhancing the activity and selectivity of Mn(Salen) complexes in aerial oxidation reactions.

The nature of the fuel and its concentration (fuel to metal mole ratio, F/M have a strong influence on the physical and chemical characteristics of the resulting Mn/CeO2 solid solutions. The variations in the physicochemical properties are attributed to differences in (i) the adiabatic/real flame temperature realized with these fuels at different F/M ratios; (ii) the sustenance of the temperature or the quenching effect of the fuel at higher F/M ratios; (iii) combustion or decomposition of the precursors as the main course of the reaction; and (iv) the generation of gaseous products during combustion. Since the addition of the fuel to the initial precursor solution does not change the pH of the medium, the differences in the type of Mn species formed are mainly attributed to the combustion process.

Aluminum (Al)-incorporated porous zinc oxide (AI:ZnO) exhibits good response towards NO2 at low-operating temperature. The NO2 gas concentration as low as 20 ppm exhibits S = 17% for 5 wt. % Al-incorporated ZnO. The NO2 response increases with operating temperature and concentration and reaches to its maximum at 300 degrees C without any interference from other gases such as SO3, HCl, LPG and alcohol. Physico-chemical characterization likes differential thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTA) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) have been used to understand the sensing behavior for pure and A]-incorporated ZnO. The TG-DTA depicts formation of ZnO phase at 287 degrees C. The EPR study reveals distinct variation for O- (g=2.003) and Zn interstitial (g = 1.98) defect sites in pure and Al:ZnO. The DRS studies elucidate signature of adsorbed NO, species in aluminium-incorporated zinc oxide indicating its tendency to adsorb these species even at low temperatures. This paper is an attempt to correlate the gas sensing behavior with the physico-chemical studies such as EPR and DRS.

Form la crystallizes at 300 K and 1b at 277 K both in the same space group P2(1)/c. Form 1b contains one molecule per asymmetric unit, performing anisotropy in g-factor viz. g(z) = 2.0082, g(y) = 2.0055 and g(x) = 2.0025, whereas form 1a contains two molecules in its asymmetric unit. Vitamin K-3 family members 2, [2-hydroxy vitamin K-3] and 3, [2-hydroxy-1-oximino vitamin K-3] also perform intrinsic neutral active naphthosemiquinone valence tautomers even in dark having spin concentrations due to hydrogen bonding and aromatic stacking interactions which are compared to vitamin K-3. The significant lateral C-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot pi bifurcated or pi-pi(center dot) interactions are discussed for molecular associations and radical formations. X-ray structure of 3 revealed pi-pi(center dot) stack dimers as radicals signatured in PR as triplet with five hyperfine splits [(A) over bar(N-14) = 11.9 G]. The centrosymmetric biradicals in 3 show diamagnetism at high temperature but below 10 K it shows paramagnetism with mu(eff) as 0.19 B.M. Vitamin K-3 and its family members inhibit biological activities of acid phosphatase (APase), which are proportional to their spin concentrations. This may relate to their probable anti-oncogenic candidature in future. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

The (1)H NMR spectroscopic method is found to be more accurate than the conventional titrimetric analysis for the estimation of FFA content especially in those cases where acidic entities other than the FFA are also present in the feedstock. The titrimetric methods provide a gross acid value which corresponds to that of FFA and other acidic impurities. Our NMR method provides the FFA content exclusively.

The acido-basic properties of the support influenced the oxidation state, redox behavior and selective oxidation properties of the Mn complexes. Acidic supports (SBA-15-pr-SH and SBA-15-pr-SO(3)H) promoted the reduction of Mn ions in Mn-TPP complexes from 3+ to 2+ oxidation state. A similar behavior was found also when Mn(Salen)Cl complexes were immobilized on those supports. However, the extent of such facile reduction was more in the case of Mn-TPP than in Mn-Salen complexes. The former exhibited superior catalytic activity (turnover frequency) than the latter-type Mn complexes in regio-, stereo- and chemoselective oxidation of R-(+)-limonene with molecular oxygen (1 atm) at ambient temperatures. The catalytic oxidation activity correlates with the redox behavior of the grafted Mn complexes. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Electron paramagnetic resonance and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies revealed that the acidity of the support (MCM-41) influences the electronic structure of the immobilized CuPc. On acidic supports a part of copper in CuPc got reduced from a ``formal'' +2 to +1 oxidation state. This reduction of copper in its oxidation state on different supports decreased in the order: Al-MCM-41 (Bronsted and strong Lewis acid sites) &amp;gt; MCM-41 (silanol sites) &amp;gt; Ti-MCM-41 (weak Lewis acid sites).

The influence of additive on the structure and redox properties of the active sites and correlation of that with selective hydrogenation activity is investigated.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-2</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.907</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kotwal, Mehejabeen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deshpande, Suvarna S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Srinivas, D.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esterification of fatty acids with glycerol over Fe-Zn double-metal cyanide catalyst</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catalysis Communications</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acid-catalyzed reaction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Double-metal cyanide (DMC)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esterification of fatty acid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fatty acid glycerides</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">solid acid catalyst</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AUG</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1302-1306</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Solid Fe-Zn double-metal cyanide (DMC) complex exhibits high catalytic activity for esterification of fatty acids (FA) with glycerol.

The studies revealed that 15 wt% MoOx on gamma-Al2O3 was the most active catalyst (conversion &amp;gt;90 mol% under optimized conditions). While MoOx/Al2O3 is selective mainly for epoxidation, the other catalysts are active for epoxidation as well as for decomposition of TBHP. The active species on the catalyst surface were investigated using in situ UV-visible spectroscopy. A linear correlation was observed between epoxidation activity and surface acidity of the catalyst.

These catalysts were active even at room temperature (25 degrees C). While the Pt catalysts were selective for C=O hydrogenation (yielding furfuryl alcohol), Pd facilitated ring hydrogenation (producing tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol). At high temperature (240 degrees C), the Pd catalyst exhibited excellent decarbonylation activity forming furan with 85% yield. The catalyst was reusable even in the absence of external hydrogen. The presence of hydrogen led to ring-opened products. Furan was quantitatively converted at 25 degrees C to tetrahydrofuran. Acidity of the support made a marked influence on the activity and selectivity. Pt on SO4-ZrO2 favored hydrogenolysis yielding 2-methyl furan along with furan with &amp;gt;75 wt% selectivity. Particle size, metal dispersion, and solvent influenced catalytic activity. Differences in structure and mode of furfural adsorption were also the causes for variations in selectivity of these supported Pt and Pd catalysts. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Dimethyl carbonate, for example, was prepared by reacting ethylene carbonate with methanol in 100 mol% selectivity at a yield of 95 mol%. Among several rare-earth modified precursors, La (10 mol%)-HT showed the highest activity. This catalyst was active even at ambient conditions. Basicity of the catalyst played crucial role on its performance. The activity of these catalysts was superior to the hitherto known solid catalysts for this reaction. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

At present, heterogeneous catalysis covers almost 80% of the global market share. The demand for heterogeneous catalysis is growing annually. In 2010, it was about US 14 billion and expected estimation of it in 2015 is around 20 billion. Understanding at the molecular level the way surfaces of solids catalyze chemical reactions is a challenge in this area of research. This chapter introduces the fundamentals of heterogeneous catalysis, current industrial practices using solid catalysts, reaction steps involved in heterogeneous catalysis, conventional and advanced methods of catalyst preparation, catalyst characterization techniques, causes for catalyst deactivation, steps to avoid deactivation, and methods of catalyst reactivation. </style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.00</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
