The atomic structures of internal interfaces have recently received considerable attention, not only because of their importance in determining many materials properties, but also because the atomic structure of many interfaces has become accessible to direct atomic-scale observation by modem HREM instruments. In this communication, several interface structures are examined by HREM in terms of their structural periodicities along the interface.It is well known that heterophase boundaries are generally formed by two low-index planes. Often, as is the case in many fcc metal/metal and metal/metal-oxide systems, low energy boundaries form in the cube-on-cube orientation on (111). Since the lattice parameter ratio between the two materials generally is not a rational number, such boundaries are incommensurate. Therefore, even though periodic arrays of misfit dislocations have been observed by TEM techniques for numerous heterophase systems, such interfaces are quasiperiodic on an atomic scale. Interfaces with misfit dislocations are semicoherent, where atomically well-matched regions alternate with regions of misfit. When the misfit is large, misfit localization is often difficult to detect, and direct determination of the atomic structure of the interface from HREM alone, may not be possible.

H2 production through dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a hot topic amidst growing environmental and atom-economy concerns. Loading Ni-based reducible mixed oxide systems onto a thermally stable support is a reliable approach for obtaining catalysts of good dispersion and high stability. Herein, NiO was dispersed over MOx-modified-γ-Al2O3 (M = Ti, Mo, Si, or W; x = 2 or 3) through incipient wetness impregnation followed by calcination. The obtained catalyst systems were characterized by infrared, ultraviolet–visible, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, and H2 temperature-programmed reduction. The mentioned synthetic procedure afforded the proper nucleation of different NiO-containing mixed oxides and/or interacting-NiO species. With different modifiers, the interaction of NiO with the γ-Al2O3 support was found to change, the Ni2+ environment was reformed exclusively, and the tendency of NiO species to undergo reduction was modified greatly. Catalyst systems 5Ni3MAl (M = Si, W) comprised a variety of species, whereby NiO interacted with the modifier and the support (e.g., NiSiO3, NiAl2O4, and NiWO3). These two catalyst systems displayed equal efficiency, >70% H2 yield at 800 °C, and were thermally stable for up to 420 min on stream. 5Ni3SiAl catalyst regained nearly all its activity during regeneration for up to two cycles.

The potentiometric titration method has been used to study the equilibria of cationic in sytems formed by substituted pyridine N-oxides in the polar, non-aqueous solvents acetone and methanol. For comparison, the systems with trimethylamine N-oxide as a representative of aliphatic amine N-oxides and pyridine representing parent heterocyclic amines were also studied. The cationic heteroconjugation constants, i.e. the equilibrium constants for conjugation reactions between free and protonated N-bases leading to the formation of unsymmetric BHB'+ cations, were determined in experimental systems with and without proton transfer. It was found that there were significant differences in the values of the cationic heteroconjugation constants determined in these two acid-base systems. The proton-transfer reactions limit and even preclude the determination of the cationic heteroconjugation constants. On this basis it was concluded that the heteroconjugation constants should be determined in systems without proton transfer. In such systems, in the amphiprotic solvent methanol, cationic heteroconjugation was ascertained in all substituted pyridine N-oxide systems, the values of heteroconjugation constants being relatively low (logarithms of their values of the order of 2-2.5), and only negligible in systems involving trimethylamine N-oxide. A more pronounced tendency towards cationic heteroconjugation of the [OHO]+ type was observed in the aprotic protophobic acetone, where heteroconjugation constants were determined for all amine N-oxide systems studied including those containing protonated trimethylamine N-oxide as a proton donor. However, the values of the cationic heteroconjugation constants were found to be, in methanol likewise, relatively low (log KBHB'+ of the order of 2-3). On the contrary, a greater extent of cationic heteroconjugation equilibria was observed in methanol than in acetone in the case of systems containing pyridine, i.e. [NHO]+ type bridges formed by amine N-oxides and heterocyclic amines. In methanol the heteroconjugation constants turned out to be determinable for all such systems studied (logarithms of the equilibrium constants being of the same order as for N-oxide systems), whereas in acetone the hetero constants were indeterminable for all systems.
