Oxygen interaction

Hydrogen-bonded complexes are common throughout chemistry. They generally involve a hydrogen attached to a heteroatom (usually nitrogen or oxygen) interacting with another heteroatom. 

Some of the site-site interactions are shown on the figure. We count both the electrostatic interaction and the Lennard-Jones 12-6 interaction for the oxygen-oxygen interaction. 

As the system passes from the active to the passive state the initial interaction depends on the composition of the aqueous phaseAn initial chemisorbed state on Fe, Cr and Ni has been postulated in which the adsorbed oxygen is abstracted from the water molecules. This has features in common with the metal/gaseous oxygen interaction mentioned previously. With increase in anodic potential a distinct phase oxide or other film substance emerges at thicknesses of 1-4 nm. Increase in the anodic potential may lead to the sequence...

The effect of alkali presence on the adsorption of oxygen on metal surfaces has been extensively studied in the literature, as alkali promoters are used in catalytic reactions of technological interest where oxygen participates either directly as a reactant (e.g. ethylene epoxidation on silver) or as an intermediate (e.g. NO+CO reaction in automotive exhaust catalytic converters). A large number of model studies has addressed the oxygen interaction with alkali modified single crystal surfaces of Ag, Cu, Pt, Pd, Ni, Ru, Fe, Mo, W and Au.6... 

The interpretation of the beneficial effect of alkali modification on oxygen adsorption has to include both stabilization of the adsorbed oxygen atoms on alkali modified sites, due to direct alkali-oxygen interactions, but also... 

Basically, when analysing the band structures, the equivalent observations apply to typical solid state compounds like thallium halides and lead chalcogenides. In studies on the origin of distortion in a-PbO, it was found that the classical theory of hybridization of the lead 6s and 6p orbitals is incorrect and that the lone pair is the result of the lead-oxygen interaction [44]. It was also noted...

SIMS Cluster Ion Characterization During Oxygen Adsorption and Oxidation. For heavy oxidation, that is essentially bulk oxide films, the oxidation state of the metal can be determined from the positive and negative SIMS intensity distributions (1 ). Though similar attempts have been made to characterize the nature of the surface during the early stages of oxygen interactions (14,15), we now know from the extensive information available from other techniques that such interpretations are incorrect. We use the by now well-characterized W(100)/O and Ni(100)/0 systems as examples. 

Our conclusion then for the oxygen interactions with metals is that because of the specific association of cluster ion intensities with particular types of oxygen rather than total coverage, the technique is not suitable for monitoring coverages or kinetics in an independent manner. Once it is established which type of oxygen a particular cluster ion is representative of, then that ion may, in favorable circumstances, be used for quantification. In the case of Ni, it seems that the negative ions are very sensitive to the initiation of oxide nucleation. In the case of W(IOO), the WOj, WO+ and WOj ions may fill a similar role. 

For oxygen interactions, similar interpretations as for CO can be offered in the chemisorption stage, but the onset of oxidation complicates the SIMS data at high exposures. At very high exposures, it is possible to detect the onset of Cu oxidation by a sudden rise in the, by then, very low Cu+/Ni ratio. 

To shed hght on the origin of the enhanced ORR activity, Xu and co-workers performed extensive DFT calculations to investigate the reactivity of the Pt skin [Xu et al., 2004], in particular how oxygen interacts in vacuum with the ordered PtsCo alloy and with a monolayer of Pt formed on the alloy as a model for Pt skin. Figure 9.10 identifies the various adsorption sites for O and O2. Experiments have shown that up to four layers of Pt could sustain a 2.5% compressive strain without creating any surface...

During the insertion mechanism, the metal is inserted into the carbon-oxygen bond. The insertion is promoted by a strong metal—oxygen interaction. It is thought that unreduced metal ions may play an important role in the insertion mechanism (electrophilic catalysis). The type of the catalyst, the method of preparation, and the additives can influence the concentration and stability of these ions. 

Optically active sulfonium and selenonium salts are well known and the stereochemistry of the isomers has been studied.1 3 Optically active cyclic diaryl(alkoxy)-sulfonium salts 14, 15, and 16, stabilized by intramolecular sulfur-oxygen interaction, were synthesized in 2000 by reacting optically active spirosulfuranes with trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate.29 The absolute configurations were assigned on the basis of the reaction mechanism. The sulfonium salts were hydrolyzed in KHC03aq. to yield optically active sulfoxides in over 86% ee (Scheme 7).
