Characterization mixed metals

Mossbauer spectroscopy has thus far only been used to characterize mixed-metal clusters that contain iron, but it has been useful in deducing structures in several instances. The principal utility of the technique has been in determining whether or not the several iron atoms in a cluster are in equivalent environments. An application to the characterization of...

More recent developments in cluster chemistry have included the anchoring of clusters to silica or alumina surfaces via sol-gel processing, the products finding applications as catalyst precursors. Very recently, mixed-metal clusters have been incorporated onto the inner walls of mesoporous silica with a pore diameter of about 30 A, and have been subsequently converted into discrete nanoparticles by thermolysis, which have been shown to act as hydrogenation catalysts. This is a particularly important new use for mixed-metal cluster systems, since there are many well characterized mixed-metal cluster carbonyls vide infra) that are readily available to act as precursors for such reactions. 

Heteronuclear compounds with an Fe-M bond have received much attention in the past decade. Significant progress has been made both in their synthetic methodologies and in the study of their chemical reactivity. There are more than 300 papers that have reported on the chemistry of this class of compounds, and more than 700 structurally characterized mixed-metal compounds that contain iron have appeared since this area was reviewed in COMC (1995). Clearly, this volume of data and information should be best presented in a systematic way, for which a tabulated form is preferable. All of the heterodinuclear species and mixed-metal clusters with known structures are therefore presented in Tables 1-3 respectively.

Kenneth Poeppelmeier has published over 250 research papers and supervised approximately 40 Ph.D. students in the area of inorganic and solid state chemistry. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and has been a Lecturer for the National Science Council of Taiwan (1991), Natural Science Foundation of China (1999) and Chemistry Week in China (2004), and more recently an Institut Universitaire de France Professor (2003). 

Although catalytic wet oxidation of acetic acid, phenol, and p-coumaric acid has been reported for Co-Bi composites and CoOx-based mixed metal oxides [3-5], we could find no studies of the wet oxidation of CHCs over supported CoO catalysts. Therefore, this study was conducted to see if such catalysts are available for wet oxidation of trichloroethylene (TCE) as a model CHC in a continuous flow fixal-bed reactor that requires no subsequent separation process. The supported CoOx catalysts were characterized to explain unsteady-state behavior in activity for a certain hour on stream. 

Catalyst characterization - Characterization of mixed metal oxides was performed by atomic emission spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma atomisation (ICP-AES) on a CE Instraments Sorptomatic 1990. NH3-TPD was nsed for the characterization of acid site distribntion. SZ (0.3 g) was heated up to 600°C using He (30 ml min ) to remove adsorbed components. Then, the sample was cooled at room temperatnre and satnrated for 2 h with 100 ml min of 8200 ppm NH3 in He as carrier gas. Snbseqnently, the system was flashed with He at a flowrate of 30 ml min for 2 h. The temperatnre was ramped np to 600°C at a rate of 10°C min. A TCD was used to measure the NH3 desorption profile. Textural properties were established from the N2 adsorption isotherm. Snrface area was calcnlated nsing the BET equation and the pore size was calcnlated nsing the BJH method. The resnlts given in Table 33.4 are in good agreement with varions literature data. 

The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate and bis(p-nitrophenyl phosphate) are frequently used to probe hydrolytic activity. A problem with some other dinuclear systems is that the Zn units are held together by bridging ligands which can be cleaved on reaction with the substrate.440 This is not the case in a ditopic ligand such as those designed by Lippard and co-workers based on Kemp s triacid imide with a xylyl spacer.441,442 Both zinc dimers and mixed metal dimers were formed and a structure characterized with a bridging phosphodiester (Figure 6). 

To summarize, TPR is a highly useful technique, which provides a quick characterization of metallic catalysts. It gives information on the phases present after impregnation and on the eventual degree of reduction. For bimetallic catalysts, TPR patterns often indicate whether or not the two components are mixed. In favorable cases, where the catalyst particles are uniform, TPR yields activation energies for the reduction as well as information on the mechanism of reduction. 

The applications of IR spectroscopy in catalysis are many. For example, IR can be used to directly characterize the catalysts themselves. This is often done in the study of zeolites, metal oxides, and heteropolyacids, among other catalysts [77,78], To exemplify this type of application, Figure 1.11 displays transmission IR spectra for a number of Co Mo O (0 < x < 1) mixed metal oxides with various compositions [79]. In this study, a clear distinction could be made between pure Mo03, with its characteristic IR peaks at 993, 863, 820, and 563 cm-1, and the Mo04 tetrahedral units in the CoMo04 solid solutions formed upon Co304 incorporation, with its new bands at 946 and 662 cm-1. These properties could be correlated with the activity of the catalysts toward carburization and hy-drodenitrogenation reactions.

Mixed-Metal Sandwich-type Complexes Characterization of the mixed-metal multiiron sandwich complexes indicated that they are stable from pH 0 to 7. This thoroughly-checked observation is in contrast with the instability of several mixed-metal sandwich-type complexes claimed in Ref. 120. In Fe2Mn2P4,...
