Electron spin resonance -active

Differentiation between the two forms of Ag2C03 is not easy and, from the many methods used, electron spin resonance spectroscopy and thermal analysis have been most successfully applied [757]. The imperfections mentioned above occur in the low temperature decomposition product and are identified as being responsible for enhanced activity in readsorbing C02. Annealing of the residue removes these defects and reduces the reversibility of reaction. 

Exchange reactions can be sometimes investigated by the techniques of polari-metry, nuclear magnetic resonance and electron spin resonance. The optical activity method requires polarimetric measurements on the rate of racemization in mixtures of d-X (or /-X) and /-Y (or d-Y). 

Chemiluminescence has been used to demonstrate increased free-radical activity after induction of caerulein pancreatitis, with levels peaking at about 20 min and decreasing rapidly to control values thereafter (Gough et al., 1990). Electron spin resonance has been used to demonstrate increased hydroxyl radical activity in choline-deficient diet pancreatitis in the mouse (Nonaka etal., 1989a). 

X-Ray irradiation of quartz or silica particles induces an electron-trap lattice defect accompanied by a parallel increase in cytotoxicity (Davies, 1968). Aluminosilicate zeolites and clays (Laszlo, 1987) have been shown by electron spin resonance (e.s.r.) studies to involve free-radical intermediates in their catalytic activity. Generation of free radicals in solids may also occur by physical scission of chemical bonds and the consequent formation of dangling bonds , as exemplified by the freshly fractured theory of silicosis (Wright, 1950 Fubini et al., 1991). The entrapment of long-lived metastable free radicals has been shown to occur in the tar of cigarette smoke (Pryor, 1987).

The chapter Electron Spin Resonance in Catalysis by Lunsford was prompted by the extensive activity in this field since the publication of an article on a similar subject in Volume 12 of this serial publication. This chapter is limited to paramagnetic species that are reasonably well defined by means of their spectra. It contains applications of ESR technique to the study of adsorbed atoms and molecules, and also to the evaluation of surface effects. The application of ESR to the determination of the state of transition metal ions in catalytic reactions is also discussed.

The scavenging ability toward O2 can also be measured by using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometry. The 02 anion is trapped with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline TV-oxidc (DMPO), and the resultant DMPO-OH adduct is detected by ESR using manganese oxide as internal standard. Noda and others (1997) used this technique to evaluate antioxidant activities of pomegranate fruit extract and its anthocyanidins (delphinidin, cyanidin, and pelargonidin).

Less clear is the sequence which leads to the formation of the active species in the case of catalysts prepared from zero-valent nickel complexes and aluminum halides or alkylaluminum halides (method C2). The catalytic properties of these systems, however—in particular, the influence of phosphines (76)—leaves no doubt that the active species is also of the HNiY type discussed above. In this connection, a recent electron spin resonance report that nickel(I) species are formed in the reaction of COD2Ni with AlBr3 (83 ), and the disproportionation of Ni(I) to Ni(II) and Ni(0) in the presence of Lewis acids (69) should be mentioned. 

Electron spin resonance (ESR) signals, detected from phosphinated polystyrene-supported cationic rhodium catalysts both before and after use (for olefinic and ketonic substrates), have been attributed to the presence of rhodium(II) species (348). The extent of catalysis by such species generally is uncertain, although the activity of one system involving RhCls /phosphinated polystyrene has been attributed to rho-dium(II) (349). Rhodium(II) phosphine complexes have been stabilized by steric effects (350), which could pertain to the polymer alternatively (351), disproportionation of rhodium(I) could lead to rhodium(II) [Eq. (61)]. The accompanying isolated metal atoms in this case offer a potential source of ESR signals as well as the catalysis.

Figure 8 shows the relationship between the hydrogenolytic behaviors and reduction time (52). The Mo(V) in the reduced catalyst is related neither to the catalytic activity nor to the hydrogenolytic behaviors. The electron spin resonance signal reaches a maximum within a very short reduction period, then drops and reaches a constant with continued reduction. This variation of Mo(V) concentration is compatible with the data obtained by Seshadri and Petrakis (67) and Massoth (55). The changes in the bja ratio and the catalytic activity with the time of reduction agree with the amount of Mo(IV) species reported by Massoth (55), as quoted in Fig. 8. 

McHenry et al. (63) suggested that a special soluble platinum [which is a not fully identified complex containing Pt(IV) chloride and hydroxide complexed with alumina] may be active in aromatization. Its presence was denied in a reducing atmosphere (64). Electron spin resonance (ESR) and optical spectroscopy gave evidence, however, that a part of it still exists even after reduction (65, 66). 

Explaining just how this happens is far from simple. Electron spin resonance is a phenomenon of molecular structure in which high frequency energy is put into the molecular system and electron spin resonance signals emerge from the system. But not all compounds have an electron spin resonation to exhibit ESR activity a...
