Periodic Trends from Metal Substitution in Bimetallic Mo-Based Phosphides for Hydrodeoxygenation and Hydrogenation Reactions

Carbon Nanotubes as Supports for Palladium and Bimetallic Catalysts for Use in Hydrogenation Reactions

School of Chemistry, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville Campus, Private Bag X54001, Durban 4000, South Africa Email: ‡[email protected]; *[email protected] Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess unique properties which make them competitive with conventional catalyst supports. This short review collates fi ndings from many research groups on the benefi ts of palladium/carbon nanotubes in hydrogenat...

Hydrogenation and Hydrodeoxygenation of 2-methyl-2-pentenal on supported metal catalysts

Platinum, palladium, and copper catalysts supported on precipitated silica have been studied for the hydrodeoxygenation and hydrogenation of 2-methyl-2-pentenal in the 200–400 C temperature range. The activity follows the order Pt > Pd > Cu. It has been found that at low temperatures, Pt and Pd are primarily active for the hydrogenation of the C@C bond to make 2-methyl-pentanal, with some decar...

Metal Nanoparticles/Ionic Liquid/Cellulose: Polymeric Membrane for Hydrogenation Reactions

Rhodium and platinum nanoparticles were supported in polymeric membranes with 10, 20 and 40 μm thickness. The polymeric membranes were prepared combining cellulose acetate and the ionic liquid (IL) 1-n-butyl3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide (BMI.(NTf) 2 . The presence of metal nanoparticles induced an increase in the polymeric membrane surface areas. The increase of the IL...

Isomorphous substitution in bimetallic oxide clusters.

The geometric and electronic structure of bimetallic oxide clusters is studied as a function of their composition with gas phase vibrational spectroscopy. Infrared multiple photon dissociation spectra of titanium-vanadium oxide cluster anions are measured in the 500 to 1200 wave number range and assigned on the basis of harmonic frequencies calculated using density functional theory. Singly sub...
