The nickel supported catalysts formed in this way have some specific features (144)- The catalysts containing about 3% of Ni are paramagnetic. When varying the nickel content from 0.1 to 20%, all the nickel the reduced catalyst (the exposed surface area of nickel was about 600 m2/g Ni) is oxidized by oxygen. The activity in benzene hydrogenation is very high and increases in proportional to the nickel content in the catalyst.

The fact that an isotope effect of 1.7 0.1 is observed 38) in the benzene/deuterium oxide reaction at 30°C indicates that this reaction is the rate-determining step of the dissociative n complex substitution mechanism. In this respect the result agrees with the direct observations made by other investigators 41, 42), namely that unsaturated hydrocarbons chemisorb at a faster rate than their subsequent interactions with chemisorbed hydrogen. 

It is well known that U.S. space vehicles obtain their auxiliaiy power in space by the use of fuel cells (Chapter 13), electrochemical devices in which the spontaneous tendency of hydrogen to combine with oxygen drives the cell and produces electricity, with water as a by-product (pure enough to drink). It stands to reason then, that one might think of producing substances more economically valuable than water in this electrogenerative way. Such work is into its first decade and Fig. 7.190 shows an example benzene is oxidized to phenol with electricity as a by-product Clearly, the economics of such a process depend on the cost of the H2 and whether one can sell the electricity. This gives rise to a speculation. 

Some properties of palladium deposited on different amorphous or zeolitic supports were determined, including catalytic activity per surface metal atom (N) for benzene hydrogenation, number of electron-acceptor sites, and infrared spectra of chemisorbed CO. An increase of the value of N and a shift of CO vibration toward higher frequencies were observed on the supports which possessed electron-acceptor sites. The results are interpreted in terms of the existence of an interaction between the metal and oxidizing sites modifying the electronic state of palladium. 

Since parallel variations were observed in turnover number for benzene hydrogenation and in CO vibration frequency, interaction between metal and oxidizing supports does exist. This interaction modifies the electronic state and catalytic properties of palladium. 

Cyclohexane is an essential intermediate for the synthesis of nylon-6,6. The purity level required for the use of cyclohexane, especially for its oxidation, is higher than 99%. This purity can be obtained by the benzene hydrogenation technique. The conversion is highly exothermic and is favored by low temperature, and high hydrogen partial pressure. 

Of special interest for petrochemical and organic synthesis is the implementation of thermodynamically hindered reactions, among which incomplete benzene hydrogenation or incomplete cyclohexene and cyclohexadiene dehydrogenation should be mentioned. Cost-effective methods of cyclohexene production would stimulate the creation of new processes of phenol, cyclohexanol, cyclohexene oxide, pyrocatechol synthesis, cyclohexadiene application in synthetic rubber production, and a possibility for designing caprolactam synthesis from cyclohexene and cyclohexadiene via combined epoxidation. At present, the most...

The catalytic properties of H-, Li-, Na-, K-, Mg-, Ca-, Zn-, Cd-, and Al-forms of synthetic mordenite in the reactions of cyclohexane and n-pentane isomerization and benzene hydrogenation have been studied. The cation forms of mordenite that do not involve the metals of column VIII of the Mendeleyev Table show high activity in these reactions. To elucidate the mechanism of n-pentane isomerization, the kinetics of the reaction on H-mordenite have been studied. Carbonium ion is supposed to result from splitting off hydride ion from hydrocarbon molecule. Na-mordenite catalytic activity in benzene hydrogenation reaction decreases linearly with the increase of decationization. This indicates that cations are responsible for the catalytic activity of zeolite. The high activity of cations of nontransition metals in oxidation-reduction reactions seems to be quite unexpected and may provide evidence for some uncommon mechanism of benzene hydrogenation. 

Reactions of 4,7-phenanthroline-5,6-dione have been the subject of considerable study. It is reduced to 5,6-dihydroxy-4,7-phenanthroline by Raney nickel hydrogenation or by aromatic thiols in benzene, and oxidized by permanganate to 3,3 -bipyridyl-2,2 -dicarboxylic acid. It forms bishemiketals with alcohols and diepoxides with diazomethane. The diepoxides by reaction with hydrochloric acid form diols of type 57, R = Cl, which on oxidation with lead tetraacetate give 3,3 -bipyridyl diketones of type 58, R = Cl. Methyl ketones of type 58, R = H, are also obtained by lead(IV) acetate oxidation of the diol 57, R = H, obtained by lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 57, R = Cl. With phenyldiazomethane and diphenyldiazomethane the dione forms 1,3-dioxole derivatives, which readily hydrolyze back to the dione with concomitant formation of benzaldehyde and benzophenone, respectively. 

Early attempts to approach this problem were made by Kobosev and co-workers in the 1930s from the viewpoint of atomic dispersion and active ensembles. They studied the behavior of catalysts containing very small amounts of supported metal and were able to derive the number of atoms within the ensembles that were active for specific reactions (one atom for SO2 oxidation, two atoms for benzene hydrogenation, three atoms for ammonia synthesis, four atoms for acetylene oligomerization) (2a-c). These results as well as later ones have been reviewed by GiFdebrand (3). 

The catalysts were tested in isoprene, benzene and naphthalene hydrogenation reactions. The catalysts prepared by oxidation of the intermetallic at 703 K were found to be more active than those oxidized at room temperature. In isoprene hydrogenation the catalyst based on mischmetal has a larger activity than the other alloys and is comparable to the catalysts prepared by other routes. In benzene hydrogenation the Ni and Ce based catalysts prepared by coprecipitation were found the most active. In naphthalene hydrogenation the fully oxidized intermetallics are four times more active than the partially oxidized ones. In addition they are independent of hydrogen pressure and selective into decaline formation. 

Nevertheless, a far more important parameter in this case is the promotion index Pj (Section 4.2) which takes values up to 250 and down to -30 for the case of Na promotion and poisoning, respectively, of CO oxidation on Pt (Table 2 and Figure 18). As noted in Section 4 (Figures 16 and 17) and also shown on Table 2, p values up to infinity and down to zero have been recently obtained for the cases of NO reduction by C2H4 on Pt and benzene hydrogenation on Pt. Also the use of P"-Al203 as a Na donor in the case of ethylene epoxidation, in conjunction with the use of chlorinated hydrocarbon moderators, leads to ethylene oxide selectivity up to 88 percent (Figure 30). 

The first step is the hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane. The cyclohexane is then oxidized with air to produce KA oil, a mixture of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol. The cyclohexanol is distilled out of the mixture and dehydrogenated. Hydrogen from the dehydrogenation step is recycled to the benzene hydrogenation section and the cyclohexanone is sent to intermediate storage.

Several studies on A-frame complexes have demonstrated that, initially, hydrogen oxidatively adds across a single metal. " Iridium is always the favored site of attack in heteronuclear A-frames. Rearrangement may subsequently lead to monohydride ligation at both metal centers. Hydrogen addition to the iridium d species in Scheme 1 occurs with perpendicular orientation to the carbonyl. The initial product is observed only at low temperatures for R = Ph, however. Upon warming it rearranges to the parallel species, (7), by means of dissociation and reattack of H2, rather than an 17 -benzene. Parallel attack may be induced by the use of L = 7r-acceptor, e.g., tetracyanoethylene. These facts have been rational-...
