Evaluation and X-Ray Induced Modification of the Cerium Oxidation State in Cerium Calixarene Complexes

چکیده
The cerium oxidation state in novel calixarene-supported cerium(IV) β-diketonate complexes [pt Bu-calix[4](OMe)2(O)2]Ce(acac)2 (1) and [pt Bu-calix[4](OMe)2(O)2]Ce(hfac)2 (2), which are a new class of potential precursors for homogeneous oxidative transformations, has been determined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Cerium oxidation states between 3.6 and 3.65 were detected, distinctly different from their nominal value of +4. An X-ray induced photoreduction of these compounds was detected. Because of the observed stability of the X-ray modified oxidation state under ambient conditions this effect might be used for a long-standing fine tuning of the Ce oxidation state in cerium calixarenes.

Ceria, zirconia and mixed cerium-zirconium mesoporous oxides were synthesized and 12 used as supports for sulfur and gold species. The materials were characterised using selected 13 advanced techniques (ICP-OES, elemental analysis, XPS, XRD, N2 adsorption and desorption 14 isotherms, UV-vis, ATR-FTIR, TPR-H2, TG-DTA) which allowed monitoring of the oxidation state 15 of metals (cerium and gold)...
متن کاملStability of cerium oxide on silicon studied by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
The silicon–cerium oxide interface is studied using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The oxidation and reduction of species at the interface are examined as a function of annealing temperature both in vacuum and oxygen ambient, in order to determine their relative stabilities. By depositing a very thin CeO2 film ~;30 Å!, the cerium and silicon core level peaks can be monitored simultaneously. ...
