Oxidation case studies

There has been a general updating of the material in all the chapters the treatment of films at the liquid-air and liquid-solid interfaces has been expanded, particularly in the area of contemporary techniques and that of macromolecular films. The scanning microscopies (tunneling and atomic force) now contribute more prominently. The topic of heterogeneous catalysis has been expanded to include the well-studied case of oxidation of carbon monoxide on metals, and there is now more emphasis on the flexible surface, that is, the restructuring of surfaces when adsorption occurs. New calculational methods are discussed. 

So far, we have been talking in our case study about the advantage of an oxide layer in reducing the rate of metal removal by oxidation. Oxide films do, however, have some disadvantages. 

A successful case study for asymmetric nitrogen oxidation was reported for a series of (hetero)aromatic tertiary amines. High diastereoselectivity was observed for the enzyme-mediated oxidation of S-(—)-nicotine by isolated CHMOAdneto to give the corresponding ds-N-oxide [215]. The stereoselectivity of this biooxidation was complementary to the product obtained by flavin M O (FM O) from human li ver (trows-selective [216]) as well as unspecific oxidations by FMOs from porcine and guinea pig liver. 

The approach consists of a liquid-phase oxidation using OH Fenton radicals from H2O2 for detemplation [148-150]. The radicals oxidize the organic template into CO2 and H2O while the porosity of the material is developed. The proof-of-principle of this concept is discussed for two case studies. 

Thus, Ip (inductor peroxide, primary oxide) derived from I d is converted by Ac d into the end-product, I(,x, which is inactive regarding the induction, i.e. coupling cannot turn into catalysis. Moreover, since there are several consecutive steps, and since the direct reaction between actor and acceptor is very slow, it follows that the value of Fj will not be changed by altering the ratio, ([Ac]/[I])o. However, in most cases studied the function Fj = /(Ac/I)q attains a limiting value, or at least varies therefore it has to be concluded that Manchot s concept cannot be maintained in its original form.

The structure of the review is organized as follows. In Section 6.2, we will address experimental aspects concerning apparatus developments and oxide nanolayer preparation methods, and briefly comment on the interplay between experimental and theoretical results. Section 6.3 constitutes the main body of this chapter, where we present case studies of selected oxide-metal systems. They have been chosen according to their prototypical oxide nanosystem behavior and because of their importance in catalysis. We conclude with a synopsis and a brief outlook speculating on future developments.
