Metal complexes surface density

Ion plating is used to deposit hard coatings of compound materials, adherent metal coatings, optical coatings having high densities, and conformal coatings on complex surfaces. 

Bradley et al.109 have combined a p-Si photocathode and homogeneous catalysts (tetraazamacrocyclic metal complexes, which had been shown to be effective catalysts for C02 reduction at an Hg electrode110) to reduce the applied cathode potential. The catalysts showed111 reversible cyclic voltammetric responses in acetonitrile at illuminated p-Si electrodes at potentials significantly more positive (ca. 0.4 V) than those required at a Pt electrode, where the p-Si used had surface states in high density and Fermi level pinning112 occurred. Electrolysis of a C02-saturated solution (acetonitrile-H20-LiC104 1 1 0.1 M) in the presence of 180 mM...

Many studies on the direct reaction of methyl chloride with silicon-copper contact mass and other metal promoters added to the silicon-copper contact mass have focused on the reaction mechanisms.7,8 The reaction rate and the selectivity for dimethyldichlorosilane in this direct synthesis are influenced by metal additives, known as promoters, in low concentration. Aluminum, antimony, arsenic, bismuth, mercury, phosphorus, phosphine compounds34 and their metal complexes,35,36 Zinc,37 39 tin38-40 etc. are known to have beneficial effects as promoters for dimethyldichlorosilane formation.7,8 Promoters are not themselves good catalysts for the direct reaction at temperatures < 350 °C,6,8 but require the presence of copper to be effective. When zinc metal or zinc compounds (0.03-0.75 wt%) were added to silicon-copper contact mass, the reaction rate was potentiated and the selectivity of dimethyldichlorosilane was enhanced further.34 These materials are described as structural promoters because they alter the surface enrichment of silicon, increase the electron density of the surface of the catalyst modify the crystal structure of the copper-silicon solid phase, and affect the absorption of methyl chloride on the catalyst surface and the activation energy for the formation of dimethyldichlorosilane.38,39 Cadmium is also a structural promoter for this reaction, but cadmium presents serious toxicity problems in industrial use on a large scale.41,42 Other metals such as arsenic, mercury, etc. are also restricted because of such toxicity problems. In the direct reaction of methyl chloride, tin in...
