We have mentioned already (Section 22-3C) the large differences in nmr chemical shifts between the inside and outside hydrogens of [18]annulene —a substance which with 18 tt electrons should be aromatic by the 4n + 2 rule. These differences are observed only at low temperatures. The proton nmr spectrum of [18]annulene at room temperature is a single resonance, which indicates that the inside (Ha) and outside (Hb) hydrogens are equilibrating rapidly. This can take place only if cis-trans interconversion occurs about the double bonds (marked c and t) ... 

Table 2.1 lists equilibrium ratios for the reduction of selected metal oxides [4], while Figure 2.2 provides a complete phase diagram for the reduction of iron oxide at different temperatures [3, 5], In order to reduce bulk iron oxide to metallic iron at 600 K, the water content of the hydrogen gas above the sample must be below a few percent, which is easily achieved. However, in order to reduce Cr2C>3, the water content should be as low as a few parts per billion, which is much more difficult to realize. The data in Table 2.1 also illustrate that, in many cases, only partial reduction to a lower oxide may be expected. Reduction of Mn2C>3 to MnO is thermodynamically allowed at relatively high water contents, but further reduction to manganese is unlikely. 

The results on H2S desorption can perhaps best be explained by a fast adsorption step, followed by desorption at a rate proportional to surface coverage and carrier gas flow rate. The equilibrium quantity of H2S still held by the catalyst after long periods in hydrogen is different at different temperatures, and the proportionalities hold only at catalyst contents of H2S above the equilibrium amounts. 

There is no difference in chemical and physical properties between para- and ortho-hydrogen except at low temperatures as regards specific heat and thermal conductivity. The transformation into para-H2 at low temperatures only takes place after adsorption on charcoal. The reverse reaction occurs at room tempera-... 

The catalytic work on the zeolites has been carried out using the pulse microreactor technique (4) on the following reactions cracking of cumene, isomerization of 1-butene to 2-butene, polymerization of ethylene, equilibration of hydrogen-deuterium gas, and the ortho-para hydrogen conversion. These reactions were studied as a function of replacement of sodium by ammonium ion and subsequent heat treatment of the material (3). Furthermore, in some cases a surface titration of the catalytic sites was used to determine not only the number of sites but also the activity per site. Measurements at different temperatures permitted the determination of the absolute rate at each temperature with subsequent calculation of the activation energy and the entropy factor. For cumene cracking, the number of active sites was found to be equal to the number of sodium ions replaced in the catalyst synthesis by ammonium ions up to about 50% replacement. This proved that the active sites were either Bronsted or Lewis acid sites or both. Physical defects such as strains in the crystals were thus eliminated and the...
