The double inverse microemulsion method was also used to synthesize per-ovskite-type mixed metal oxides [ 155]. One microemulsion solution contained nitrate salts of either Ba(N03)2/Pb(N03)2, La(N03)3/Cu(N03)2 or La(N03)3/ Ni(N03)2, and the other microemulsion contained ammonium oxalate or oxalic acid as the precipitant. These metal oxalate particles of about 20 nm were readily calcined into single phase perovskite-type BaPb03, La2Cu04 and LaNi03. The calcinations required for the microemulsion-derived mixed oxalates were 100-250 °C below the temperatures used for the metal oxalates prepared by a conventional aqueous solution precipitation method.

Although acrylonitrile manufacture from propylene and ammonia was first patented in 1949 (30), it was not until 1959, when Sohio developed a catalyst capable of producing acrylonitrile with high selectivity, that commercial manufacture from propylene became economically viable (1). Production improvements over the past 30 years have stemmed largely from development of several generations of increasingly more efficient catalysts. These catalysts are multicomponent mixed metal oxides mostly based on bismuth—molybdenum oxide. Other types of catalysts that have been used commercially are based on iron—antimony oxide, uranium—antimony oxide, and tellurium-molybdenum oxide. 

Catalysts vary both in terms of compositional material and physical stmcture (18). The catalyst basically consists of the catalyst itself, which is a finely divided metal (14,17,19) a high surface area carrier and a support stmcture (see Catalysts, supported). Three types of conventional metal catalysts are used for oxidation reactions single- or mixed-metal oxides, noble (precious) metals, or a combination of the two (19). 

M2Ti04 (M = Mg, Zn, Mn, Fe, Co) have the spinel stmcture (MgAl204, p. 248) which is the third important stmcture type adopted by many mixed metal oxides in this the cations occupy both octahedral and tetrahedral sites in a cep array of oxide ions. Ba2Ti04, although having the same stoichiometry, is unique amongst titanates in that... 

Nonstoichiometry is relatively common among mixed metal oxides, in which more than one metal is present. In 1986 it was discovered that certain compounds of this type showed the phenomenon of superconductivity on cooling to about 100 K, their electrical resistance drops to zero (Figure 20.9). A typical formula here is YBa2Cu30 where x varies from 6.5 to 7.2, depending on the method of preparation of the solid. 

Abstract Sonochemical synthesis, an energy efficient processing technique to induce a variety of physical and chemical transformations is on the rise. A variety of simple and mixed metal oxides and sulfides have been obtained using this technique. The present chapter reviews the types of oxides and sulfides obtained in the last few years. 

The applications of IR spectroscopy in catalysis are many. For example, IR can be used to directly characterize the catalysts themselves. This is often done in the study of zeolites, metal oxides, and heteropolyacids, among other catalysts [77,78], To exemplify this type of application, Figure 1.11 displays transmission IR spectra for a number of Co Mo O (0 < x < 1) mixed metal oxides with various compositions [79]. In this study, a clear distinction could be made between pure Mo03, with its characteristic IR peaks at 993, 863, 820, and 563 cm-1, and the Mo04 tetrahedral units in the CoMo04 solid solutions formed upon Co304 incorporation, with its new bands at 946 and 662 cm-1. These properties could be correlated with the activity of the catalysts toward carburization and hy-drodenitrogenation reactions. 

As indicated above, type B clusters can accommodate one or two additional electrons, beyond the six needed to form the three Mo—Mo bonds of the triangular array. This redox versatility is clearly manifest in mixed-metal oxide phases of molybdenum. Examples include... 

Other redox pairs, such as Mn304/Mn0 and C03O4/C0O have also been consi dered, but the yield of H2 in the reaction has been too low to be of any practical in terest.53 H2 may be produced instead by reacting MnO with NaOH at above 900 K in a 3 step cycle.56 Steinfeld further suggests2 that partial substitution of iron in Fe304 by other metals (e.g., Mn and Ni) forms mixed metal oxides of the type (Fei xMx)304 that may be reducible at lower temperatures than those required for the reduction of Fe304, while the reduced phase (Fei-xMx)i-yO remains capable of splitting water.57 59... 

Bismuth oxide forms a number of complex mixed-metal phases with the divalent metal oxides of calcium, strontium, barium, lead, and cadmium, and these show a wide variety in composition. With transition metal oxides, mixed-metal oxide phases have been observed which are based upon a Perovskite-type lattice (10) containing layers of Bi202. It is notable that the high Tc superconducting materials which include bismuth also have this Perovskite-type of lattice with layers of copper oxide interleaved with bismuth oxide layers. 

One-step partial oxidation of propane to acrylic acid (an essential chemical widely used for the production of esters, polyesters, amides, anilides, etc.) has been investigated so far on three types of catalysts, namely, vanadium phosphorus oxides, heteropolycompounds and, more successfully, on mixed metal oxides. The active catalysts generally consist of Mo and V elements, which are also found in catalysts used for the oxidation of propene to acrolein and that of acrolein to acrylic acid. 

Supported metal oxide catalysts are a new class of catalytic materials that are excellent oxidation catalysts when redox surface sites are present. They are ideal catalysts for investigating catalytic molecular/electronic structure-activity selectivity relationships for oxidation reactions because (i) the number of catalytic active sites can be systematically controlled, which allows the determination of the number of participating catalytic active sites in the reaction, (ii) the TOP values for oxidation studies can be quantitatively determined since the number of exposed catalytic active sites can be easily determined, (iii) the oxide support can be varied to examine the effect of different types of ligand on the reaction kinetics, (iii) the molecular and electronic structures of the surface MOj, species can be spectroscopically determined under all environmental conditions for structure-activity determination and (iv) the redox surface sites can be combined with surface acid sites to examine the effect of surface Bronsted or Lewis acid sites. Such fundamental structure-activity information can provide insights and also guide the molecular engineering of advanced hydrocarbon oxidation metal oxide catalysts such as supported metal oxides, polyoxo metallates, metal oxide supported zeolites and molecular sieves, bulk mixed metal oxides and metal oxide supported clays.
