Hydrogenation of cyclohexene with LaNi5−xAlxHn metal hydrides suspended in cyclohexane or ethanol

Effects of solvents polarity parameters on heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of cyclohexene in molecular solvents

Heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of cyclohexene, catalyzed by Pt/A1203, was carried out in thirteenvarious solvents (four alcoholic solvents, six aprotic polar solvents and three non polar solvents) at 25 °C.Single-parameter correlations of logk vs. normalized polarity parameter (ETN), hydrogen-bond acceptorbasicity (p), hydrogen-bond donor acidity (a) and dipolarity/polarizibility (it*) d...

Metal Hydrides: Transition Metal Hydride Complexes

Solid-state metal hydrides provide a safe and efficient way of storing hydrogen (Schlapbach 2002). They are commercialized for use in rechargeable batteries and developed for energy conversion devices such as fuel cells (see Hydrogen Metal Systems: Electrochemical Reactions). A great majority of metal hydrides derives from intermetallic compounds and alloys (see Hydrogen Metal Systems: Hydride ...

Hydrogen-Mediated Metal Transport in Complex Metal Hydrides

Since this discovery, a number of studies have looked at improving the catalytic effects and understanding the role of additives in H2 cycling. However, the mechanism by which NaAlH4 is activated in the presence of a small amount of a transition metal is still not well understood. One of the principle questions is “How do the Al atoms migrate the long distances required during the hydrogenation...

Hydrogen storage in complex metal hydrides

Complex metal hydrides such as sodium aluminohydride (NaAlH4) and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) are solid-state hydrogen-storage materials with high hydrogen capacities. They can be used in combination with fuel cells as a hydrogen source thus enabling longer operation times compared with classical metal hydrides. The most important point for a wide application of these materials is the reversibil...
