Oxygenates, properties

From the previous paragraphes it follows that a substantial amount of experimental data exist that illustrate the oxygenation properties of zeolite catalysts. In very general terms zeolites are used to heterogenize transition metal ions in ion exchange or lattice positions, to stabilize transition metal oxide dispersions and to prepare ship-in-bottle complexes.

The complex formed from hematin a and native globin (from crystalline hemoglobin) possesses an approximate ratio of 4 to 1 and shows low spin characteristics in both oxidized and reduced forms. The reduced complex, when oxidized by either oxygen or ferricyanide, is converted to a yellow compound whose spectra differ from those of the initial compound. The conversion is reversed by dithionite but not by prolonged deaeration. We concluded that the hematin a-gZo fn complex is autoxidizable but possesses no oxygenative property and is not reduced by ferrocyto-chrome c. The hematin di-polyhistidine complex also shows low spin characteristics. Its reduced form is even more autoxidizable than hematin Si-globin. The implications of these observations are discussed, with heme protein interactions and the structural specificities required for oxygenation and autoxidation. 

These observations, especially the practical identity of state VII with the ferricyanide-oxidized form (state VIII), strongly suggest that the hematin a globin complex does not possess any oxygenative property or at least does not show up in the spectral behavior as myoglobin or hemoglobin does. All of these results, however, only show that the reduced form of the complex is autoxidizable but that the oxidized form cannot be reduced by reduced cytochrome c or by tetrahydroquinone. Why the oxidized form in state VII diflFers from that in state I is discussed below. 

The substitution of transition metals such as Fe in the Ce02 fluorite structure, for example, results in a higher catalytic activity due to the combination of different cations in the oxide matrix, which produces materials with new electronic, structural, textural, and redox migration oxygen properties [4-6]. 

The gas mean free path for oxygen denoted by A was calculated using values of oxygen properties available in literature and listed in Table 8.19, and the value was used to calculate the Knudsen number for each test sample.
