Rhodium atoms for alkane dehydrogenation Nanoparticles of rhodium dispersed on metal oxides are generally poor catalysts because the reactants bind too strongly to metal. Hannagan et al. performed first-principle calculations indicating that single in a copper surface should be stable and selective conversion propane propene hydrogen. Model studies embedded (111) revealed very high selectivity ...

o-xylylenebis (triphenylphosphonium peroxymonosulfate) (1) was easily prepared from an aqueous solution of oxone and o-xylylenebis- (triphenylphosphonium bromide). this compound (1) is a useful and selective reagent for conversion of oximes, semicarbazones and phenylhydrazones to the corresponding carbonyl compounds. the reaction was carried out under solvent-free conditions and in the presence...

The molecular structures, oxidation states, and reactivity of 3 and 6% CrO3/ZrO2 catalysts prepared by incipient wetness impregnation were examined under different conditions. The in situ Raman spectroscopic studies under dehydrated conditions reveal that the 3 and 6% CrO3/ZrO2 catalysts possess equal amounts of monochromate and polychromate species. Consequently, monolayer coverage on this ZrO...

Pt/Sn-containing MFI zeolites prepared by one-pot hydrothermal methods are highly active and selective catalysts for propane dehydrogenation. An alternative preparation method is reported alongside an in-depth characterization of Pt Sn before after reaction. species dispersed on highly-defective Silicalite-1 show a significantly long catalytic lifetime with improved coke resistance, but increas...

We used density functional theory quantum mechanics with periodic boundary conditions to determine the atomistic mechanism underlying catalytic activation of propane by the M1 phase of Mo-V-Nb-Te-O mixed metal oxides. We find that propane is activated by Te═O through our recently established reduction-coupled oxo activation mechanism. More importantly, we find that the C-H activation activity o...
