ABSTRACTComplex cobalt-carbonyl ligand based clusters of clusters are used as molecular precursors for self-supported model catalysts. These precursors consist of two metal layers: an outer of the complex Co-carbonyl ligands, and a core of metal (e.g. Co or Zn) carboxylate groups. Partial thermolysis at low temperature (LT) of these materials under hydrogen results in almost completely decarbonylated material with a mainly unchanged carboxylate metal core. Complete pyrolysis at higher temperatures (HT) in hydrogen leads to mixed metal environment. These materials were used as a heterogenous catalyst in the gas phase hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde. The maximum yield of 27 % of desired product crotyl alcohol was observed when HT-CoCo was used as the catalyst at 423 K. The catalyst activity and the crotyl alcohol selectivity remained unchanged over 2 days of operation. The bimetallic ZnCo catalysts showed lower selectivity to crotyl alcohol than the CoCo catalysts.

<b>Abstract:</b> The production of olefins via on-purpose dehydrogenation of alkanes allows for a more efficient, selective and lower cost alternative to processes such as steam cracking. Silica-supported pincer-iridium complexes of the form [(≡SiO-<sup>R4</sup>POCOP)Ir(CO)] (<sup>R4</sup>POCOP = κ<sup>3</sup>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>-2,6-(OPR<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>) are effective for acceptorless alkane dehydrogenation, and have been shown stable up to 300 °C. However, while solution-phase analogues of such species have demonstrated high regioselectivity for terminal olefin production under transfer dehydrogenation conditions at or below 240 °C, in open systems at 300 °C, regioselectivity under acceptorless dehydrogenation conditions is consistently low. In this work, complexes <a>[(≡SiO-<i><sup>t</sup></i><sup>Bu4</sup>POCOP)Ir(CO)] </a>(<b>1</b>) and [(≡SiO-<i><sup>i</sup></i><sup>Pr4</sup>PCP)Ir(CO)] (<b>2</b>) were synthesized via immobilization of molecular precursors. These complexes were used for gas-phase butane transfer dehydrogenation using increasingly sterically demanding olefins, resulting in observed selectivities of up to 77%. The results indicate that the active site is conserved upon immobilization.

We present an efficient strategy for synthesising the PdAu catalysts with a homogeneous PdAu alloy phase for environmentally important hydrodechlorination of tetrachloromethane in the gas phase. The synthesis of carbon-supported catalysts involved two major steps: (i) incorporation of palladium and gold nanoparticles into carbon support and (ii) activation of the catalysts. The critical part of this work was to find the optimal conditions for both steps. Thus, the incorporation of the nanoparticles was carried out in two ways, by impregnation and direct redox reaction method using acetone solutions of metal precursor salts. The activation was performed either by a conventional thermal reduction in hydrogen or flash irradiation in a microwave oven. The homogeneity and structure of the PdAu alloy were found to depend on the catalyst activation method critically. In all cases, we observed better homogeneity for catalysts that were subject to microwave irradiation. Moreover, the flash microwave irradiation of prepared catalysts provided catalysts of better stability and selectivity towards the desired products (hydrocarbons) in the hydrodechlorination of tetrachloromethane as compared to the catalyst obtained by conventional thermal activation in hydrogen.

Laser electrodispersion (LED) of metals is a promising technique for the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts as an alternative to wet impregnation of supports with the corresponding salt solutions. The LED technique can be used to deposit highly active chloride- and nitrate-free metal nanoparticles onto carbon or oxide supports. We report preparation and properties of new Ni-, Pd-, and Au-containing alumina-supported catalysts with low metal loadings (10–3–10–4 % mass) and their comparison with the previously studied carbon (Sibunit) supported systems. The catalysts demonstrate high stability and extremely high specific catalytic activity (by 2–3 orders of magnitude higher than for traditional catalysts) in the gas-phase hydrodechlorination (HDC) of chlorobenzene (CB).

Decomposition of methane into carbon and hydrogen over Cu/Ni supported catalysts was investigated. The catalytic activities and the lifetimes of the catalysts were studied. Cu/Ni supported on TiO2 showed high activity and long lifetime for the reaction. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies revealed the relationship between the catalyst activity and the formation of the filamentous carbon over the catalyst after methane decomposition. While different types of filamentous carbon formed on the various Cu/Ni supported catalysts, an attractive carbon nanotubes was observed in the Cu/Ni supported on TiO2. Key Words:  Methane decomposition, carbon nanotube, Cu/Ni supported catalysts.

Bioethanol, obtained by biomass fermentation, could be an important hydrogen supplier as a renewable source. The availability of active, selective and stable catalyst for bioethanol steam reforming is a key point for the development of processes suitable to this purpose. In this work, the performance of different supported catalysts in the steam reforming of bioethanol at molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) operative condition has been focused and a decreasing activity has been related to the formation of carbon. Furthermore catalytic behaviour of a Ni supported catalyst has been tested under reforming condition both distillation industry’s waste and ethanol-water mixture. Results revealed that, superior alcohols (fusel oil) arising from the distillation process influence carbon formation and the presence of oxygen (ATR condition) preserves the catalyst activity which otherwise significantly deactivate mainly due to the carbon formation.

Abstract At subduction zones, most diamonds form by carbon saturation in hydrous fluids released from lithospheric plates on equilibration with mantle rocks. Although organic molecules are predicted among dissolved species which are the source for carbon in diamonds, their occurrence is not demonstrated in nature, and the physical model for crustal diamond formation is debated. Here, using Raman microspectroscopy, I determine the structure of carbon-based phases inside fluid inclusions in diamond-bearing rocks from the Alps. The results provide direct evidence that diamond surfaces are coated by sp2-, and sp3-bonded amorphous carbon and functional groups of carboxylic acids (e.g., carboxyl, carboxylate, methyl, and methylene), indicating the geosynthesis of organic compounds in deep hydrous fluids. Moreover, this study suggests diamond nucleation via metastable molecular precursors. As a possible scenario, with carbon saturation by reduction of carboxylate groups, I consider tetrahedral H-terminated C groups as templates for the growth of sp3-structured carbon.

AbstractThermolysis of single-source molecular precursors has been used to prepare carbon-supported Pt1Sn1, Pt1Ru1, and Pt3Mo1 alloy nanoparticles. On-particle, high spatial resolution energy dispersive spectroscopy (HR-EDS) has been used to determine the extent of compositional variability between particles in the nanocomposite. The loss of volatile Ru and Mo oxides during the course of the HR-EDS analysis results in average compositions greatly enriched in Pt. Mathematical correction for loss of these volatile species results in average metal:metal ratios comparable to those measured by bulk elemental analysis.
