Incorporation of metals

The incorporation of metal salts of amphoteric surface active agents (Mostat Series) as internal antistatic agents in polypropylene fibers has been reported (95). Metal salts of alanine, amidoamine, and imida2oiine-type amphoteric surface-active agents show excellent performance as internal antistatic agents and also improve the dyeing abiUty of the fibers with acid dyes. 

Noble metal nanoparticles dispersed in insulating matrices have attracted the interest of many researchers fromboth applied and theoretical points of view [34]. The incorporation of metallic nanoparticles into easily processable polymer matrices offers a pathway for better exploitation of their characteristic optical, electronic and catalytic properties. On the other hand, the host polymers can influence the growth and spatial arrangement of the nanoparticles during the in situ synthesis, which makes them convenient templates for the preparation of nanoparticles of different morphologies. Furthermore, by selecting the polymer with certain favorable properties such as biocompatibiHty [35], conductivity [36] or photoluminescence [37], it is possible to obtain the nanocomposite materials for various technological purposes. 

The isomorphic substituted aluminum atom within the zeolite framework has a negative charge that is compensated by a counterion. When the counterion is a proton, a Bronsted acid site is created. Moreover, framework oxygen atoms can give rise to weak Lewis base activity. Noble metal ions can be introduced by ion exchanging the cations after synthesis. Incorporation of metals like Ti, V, Fe, and Cr in the framework can provide the zeolite with activity for redox reactions. 

Brauer, Stansbury Flowers (1986) modified these cements in several ways. The addition of various adds - acetic, propionic, benzoic etc. -accelerated the set. The use of zinc oxide powders coated with propionic add improved mixing, accelerated set, reduced brittleness and increased compressive strength from 63 to a maximum of 72 MPa. The addition of plasticizing agents such as zinc undecenylate yielded flexible materials. Incorporation of metal powders had a deleterious effect and greatly increased the brittleness of these cements. The addition of fluorides was not very successful, for fluoride release was not sustained. 

Incorporation of Metal In certain cases, metal atoms, after their discharge, can penetrate into the substrate metal, forming alloys or intermetallic compounds in the surface layer and down to a certain depth. This effect has been known for a long time in the discharge of metals at liquid mercury, where liquid or solid amalgams are formed. In 1968 B. Kabanov showed that an analogous effect is present in metal ion discharge at many solid metals.

The incorporation of metal atoms into surface chemisorbed structures is, therefore, more widespread than might have been expected from that first observed with oxygen at Cu(llO). It is an example of the mobility and incorporation of silver atoms by a molecular fragment NH(a) other examples from the Stanford group are N03(a) and S03(a) at Ag(llO) and S03(a) at Cu(l 10).19,20... 

Future work in this area will involve the extension of these techniques to other temperatures in an effort to better characterize the overall reaction kinetics of these two processes. In addition, degree of cure obtained through isothermal DSC measurements will be compared with the fraction of acetylene consumed as measured by isothermal FTIR experiments for the same temperature and time. Also, the effect of the incorporation of metal fillers on the isomerization and crosslinking reactions will be addressed. 

Important aspects of the coordination chemistry of binary chalcogen-nitrogen ligands include (a) the ability of metals to stabilize labile neutral and anionic binary S-N ligands, (b) the applications of metal complexes as reagents for the preparation of other S-N compounds, and (c) the possible incorporation of metals into sulfur-nitrogen chains to produce conducting materials.

The interaction and sorption of metal ions with metal oxide and clay surfaces has occupied the attention of chemists, soil scientists, and geochemists for decades (1-4). Transition metal oxides receiving particular emphasis have included various oxides of manganese and iron (5). Interest in sorption phenomena is promoted by the desire to better understand incorporation of metals into minerals, especially marine deposits ( ), the removal of trace metal pollutants and radionuclides from rivers and streams, via sorption and/or precipitation phenomena (1,6), and the deposition of metals on solid substrates in the preparation of catalysts (7,8). 

Given the great importance of the metalloproteinases, it seems inevitable that further work will be directed at this key area either by designed or opportunistic incorporation of metal ions into the catalytic apparatus of abzymes. 

Thus, if the incorporation of some metal oxides indicated a notable improvement in the catalytic activity (permitting it to operate at lower reaction temperatures),the incorporation of metals, especially Pt and working in the presence of H2, has prolonged the hfe of the catalysts. However, new catalyst formulations have recently increased the resistance of these catalysts to such poisons as water or sulfur during the isomerization of n-C5 and n-C6 paraffins. Nevertheless, the use of other anions, by supporting WO3 or MoOf or heteropolyacids,which have higher thermal stability, can also be interesting alternative routes to develop new catalytic systems. 

Appropriately placed groups on the porphyrin periphery can aid considerably the incorporation of metal ions into the ring. The porphyrin shown, Hjtmpp, 13 reacts rapidly with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) in dmf/H20. The rate data indicate that an initial adduct is formed which allows the metal to more easily transfer into the porphine ring. See also Ref. 129 for a similar behavior with an azamacrocycle. 

CNTs-nanoparticles composites have also been exploited for electrochemical sensing applications [17, 118, 119[. Incorporation of metal and oxide nanoparticles has been demonstrated to enhance the electrocatalytical efficiency. A wide range of particles have been used (Pt, Pd, Co, FeCo alloy, Co, Cu, Ag, Cu) and in some cases such CNT/nanoparticles have been combined together with charged polymers [17]. 

The catalysts are predominantly modified ZSM-5 zeolite. In general, the modifications are intended to restrict pore mouth size to promote the shape selective production of para-xylene within the microporous structure. The same modifications also serve to remove external acid sites and eliminate the consecutive isomerization of para-xylene. Methods used to modify the zeolite pore openings have included silation [50], incorporation of metal oxides such as MgO, ZnO and P2O5 [51, 52], steaming and the combination of steaming and chemical modification [53]. 

XRD patterns of Pt/FSM-16 [25] (and HMM-1 [32]) show no significant change at 26 = 1-10° before and after the incorporation of metal nanowires and nanoparticles (Figure 15.7). This indicates that the pore structures and mesoporous channels of FSM-16 (and HMM-1) remained unchanged in the synthesis of the Pt wires and Pt particles [18-20, 23, 24] by wet photo-irradiation with methanol -i- water vapor and dry H2 reduction, respectively. Furthermore, in the high 26 region, typical peaks assigned to Pt fee crystalline are observed for both samples of Pt nanowire/FSM-16 and Pt nanoparticles/FSM-16 [25]. 

We can now make sensible guesses as to the order of rate constant for water replacement from coordination complexes of the metals tabulated. (With the formation of fused rings these relationships may no longer apply. Consider, for example, the slow reactions of metal ions with porphyrine derivatives (20) or with tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine, where the rate determining step in the incorporation of metal ion is the dissociation of the pyrrole N-H bond (164).) The reason for many earlier (mostly qualitative) observations on the behavior of complex ions can now be understood. The relative reaction rates of cations with the anion of thenoyltrifluoroacetone (113) and metal-aqua water exchange data from NMR studies (69) are much as expected. The rapid exchange of CN " with Hg(CN)4 2 or Zn(CN)4-2 or the very slow Hg(CN)+, Hg+2 isotopic exchange can be understood, when the dissociative rate constants are estimated. Reactions of the type M+a + L b = ML+(a "b) can be justifiably assumed rapid in the proposed mechanisms for the redox reactions of iron(III) with iodide (47) or thiosulfate (93) ions or when copper(II) reacts with cyanide ions (9). Finally relations between kinetic and thermodynamic parameters are shown by a variety of complex ions since the dissociation rate constant dominates the thermodynamic stability constant of the complex (127). A recently observed linear relation between the rate constant for dissociation of nickel complexes with a variety of pyridine bases and the acidity constant of the base arises from the constancy of the formation rate constant for these complexes (87). 

Lighting. An important application of clear fused quartz is as envelop material for mercury vapor lamps (228). In addition to resistance to deformation at operating temperatures and pressures, fused quartz offers ultraviolet transmission to permit color correction. Color is corrected by coating the inside of the outer envelope of the mercury vapor lamp with phosphor (see LUMINESCENT MATERIALS). Ultraviolet light from the arc passes through the fused quartz envelope and excites the phosphor, producing a color nearer the red end of the spectrum (229). A more recent improvement is the incorporation of metal halides in the lamp (230,231). 

The coefficient of linear expansion of unfilled polymers is approximately 10 X 10 5 cm/cm K. These values are reduced by the presence of fillers or reinforcements. The thermal conductivity of the polymers is about 5 X 10 4 cal/sec cm K. These values are increased by the incorporation of metal flake fillers. The specific heat is about 0.4 cal/g K, and these values are slightly lower for crystalline polymers than for amorphous polymers. 

The membrane-mimetic approach has the potential of providing superior size, morphology, and monodispersity control for ceramic particles. The relatively meager amount of published work in this area [826-834] (see Table 11) is rather surprising. Vigorous and sustained activities, inspired by biomineralization [15-18] and modeled on the incorporation of metallic, catalytic, and semiconducting particles into membrane-mimetic compartments, are fully expected.

The incorporation of metal ligands onto peptidic structures is an active area of research. These compounds can be used as molecular devices to control the formation of supramo-lecular peptidic architectures, to induce and stabilize secondary structures, and as sensing devices for the detection of certain metals. The metal ligand group can be linked to the side chain of an amino acid and incorporated into a peptide chain, or it can be incorporated as a C- or N-terminal group. The strategy used depends on the application targeted.

T1he adsorption of metal ions from aqueous solutions is a phenomenon of immediate interest to workers in many diverse disciplines. The incorporation of metals into geological sediments, removal of metal ions from industrial and civic effluent, interference of trace metal ions in analytical and electroanalytical chemistry, ore flotation, metallurgical leaching processes, and the stability of ceramic slips are all processes which are controlled to a large extent by interaction of metal ions with solid-liquid interfaces.
