The complex (42) gives an IR band due to multiply-bridged carbonyl at 1472 cm-1, while for (43) the bridging carbonyl group has vCO at 1741 cm-1.94 The adsorption of CO on Pd/W03 Zr02 at 85K gives vCO from Zr4+-CO at 2212 cm-1, together with vCO due to Pdn+ surface carbonyls (n = 0-3).95 IRAS data of vCO adsorbed on alumina-supported vanadium nanoparticles show the formation of V(CO)x, where x = 1-3.96...

Self-assembled nanorods of vanadium oxide bundles were synthesized by treating bulk V2O5 with high intensity ultrasound [34]. By prolonging the duration of ultrasound irradiation, uniform, well defined shapes and surface structures and smaller size of nanorod vanadium oxide bundles were obtained. Three steps which occur in sequence have been proposed for the self-assembly of nanorods into bundles (1) Formation of V2O5 nuclei due to the ultrasound induced dissolution and a further oriented attachment causes the formation of nanorods (2) Side-by-side attachment of individual nanorods to assemble into nanorods (3) Instability of the self-assembled V2O5 nanorod bundles lead to the formation of V2O5 primary nanoparticles. It is also believed that such nanorods are more active for n-butane oxidation. 

So far, only two reports have been found in the literature on the syntheses of V2O3 and VO2 nanoparticles [6,9]. The purpose of this article is to study the probability of preparation of V2O3, VO2 and V2O5 nanopowders by pyrolysis of the precursor, (NH4)5 [(VO) 6 (C03)4(0H)9] IOH2O, at lower temperatures under H2, N2 or air atmosphere respectively. Our investigation is aimed to prepare the ceramics of vanadium oxides with nanometer-sized grains using these powders and to observe the...

When the formation of V-oxide nanoparticles starts, the selectivity to benzaldehyde decreases considerably due to faster consecutive oxidation. Both the loading of vanadium and the nature of the zeolite influence the formation of these V-oxide nanoparticles. The inner surface area of zeolites is very high (up to 1000 mVg as in the case of Vx-HCM samples see Table 1), and thus the formation of V-oxide nanoparticles starts much below the vanadium loading necessary for the formation of a monolayer (around 10% wt. for a surface area of... 

In addition to the above, preparation in w/o microemulsions of nanoparticles of various other types of compounds, viz. silica-coated iron oxide, Fe203-Ag nanocomposite, oxides of ytrium, erbium, neodymium, vanadium and cobalt, titanates of barium and lead, ferrites of barium, strontium, manganese, cobalt and zinc, oxide superconductors, aluminates, zirconium silicate, barium tungstate, phosphates of calcium, aluminium and zinc, carbonates of calcium and barium, sulphides of molybdenum and sodium, selenides of cadmium and silver etc. have been reported. Preparative sources and related elaboration can be found in [24].

If the reaction occurs in the boundary region, the nanoparticles acquire a form of nanotubes, nanorods and alike [249]. For instance, sonochemical synthesis of the vanadium oxide nanorods by treating bulk V2O5 with high intensity sonochemical technique has been described in [252]. 

A variety of other nanoparticles have been formed by such in situ sol-gel reactions. Examples are the oxides of titanium, aluminum, - tanta-lum, zirconium, niobium, and vanadium. Some nanocomposites of this type have also included barium titanate, calcium oxide, calcium salts, borates, HTiNbOg, and Eu dopants. ... 

A different type of polymer is obtained when the 2-bromopropionate-substituted titanium zirconium and vanadium oxo clusters mentioned above are employed as macroinitiators for copper-catalyzed atom transfer polymerizations of MMA or styrene. Each carboxylate ligand at the cluster surface acts as an initiator for the growth of a polymer chain from the cluster surface, resulting in coreshell nanoparticles with an inorganic (cluster) core and a polymer shell. These reactions proceed in a controlled manner and rather low polydispersities are achieved. ...
