H2O2) as an oxidant in different solvents. Monovanadium-substituted phosphomolybdic acid catalyst was found to be better than other catalysts for the above reaction and acetonitrile was the suitable solvent. At the optimum temperature of 60 degreesC, the norbornene conversion was 70% and the selectivity for 2,3-epoxy norbornane was 58%. The side products were norborneols and 2-norbornanone. The lower selectivity of 2,3-epoxy norbornane with aq. H2O2 is attributed to the simultaneous formation of other products, norborneols and 2-norbornanone. The norborneols are formed from norbornene by acid-catalyzed reaction. Other oxidants like urea-hydrogen peroxide adduct (UHP) and tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide (TBHP) were also tested for norbornene oxidation reaction. With UHP, the conversion was almost same (69%) as that of aq. H2O2 reaction; however, 2,3-epoxy norbornane was the main product with &amp;gt;97% selectivity. Thus, the overall yield was 66.9% at 60 degreesC after 4 h. The high selectivity with UHP is attributed to the controlled release of H2O2, absence of water and less acidic nature of UHP. With TBHP the selectivity for the epoxide was &amp;gt;96%; however, the conversion was low (27%). A mechanism for the norbornene oxidation is believed to be proceeding via V(5+)-peroxo and V(4+)-superoxo intermediates. NMR, EPR and UV-vis spectroscopic techniques were employed to understand the reaction intermediates and reaction pathways. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

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.

These novel materials catalyze the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to selectively benzaldehyde at moderate temperatures using peroxides and molecular oxygen as oxidant. 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). A linear variation in catalytic activity with the concentration of Cu(1+) ions in different catalyst samples was observed. The study reveals that by suitably modifying the acidic properties of the support one can, in principle, fine-tune the electronic and catalytic properties of the active oxidation sites.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3-4</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%">Salunke-Gawali, Sunita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kathawate, Laxmi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shinde, Yogesh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Puranik, Vedavati G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weyhermueller, Thomas</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Single crystal X-ray structure of lawsone anion: evidence for coordination of alkali metal ions and formation of naphthosemiquinone radical in basic media</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Molecular Structure</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2-Hydroxy-1</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4-naphthoquione</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">EPR</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">hydrogen bonding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lawsone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naphthosemiquinone radicals</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3-4</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%">1010</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">38-45</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone; Lawsone (Lw) is a natural compound found in henna leaves. The reaction of lawsone with `Na' metal (Lw-1), CH3COONa (Lw-2), NaOH (Lw-3), KOH (Lw-4), K2CO3 (Lw-5) and Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Lw-6) were studied. Red orange solids obtained for Lw-1 to Lw-6 are characterized by Elemental Analysis, FTIR, (HNMR)-H-1 and EPR studies. The results reveal the coordination of alkali metals `Na' and `K' to lawsone anion. The single crystal X-ray structure of Lw-6 was solved and it crystallizes in triclinic space group P-1 with extensive hydrogen bonding network of C-H center dot center dot center dot O, N-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot O between cations and anions. Polycrystalline powder X-band EPR spectra of Lw-1 to Lw-5 shows signals similar to 2.004 at 133 K, while Lw-6 is EPR silent. The naphthosemiquinone (NSQ) radical formed in Lw-2 to Lw-5, is due to disproportion reaction of catechol and naphthoquinone. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
