Promoted sulfated zirconia samples were prepared by the incipient wetness technique to produce isomerization catalysts which were active for the conversion of n-butane to isobutane at 338K (up to 10% conversion of 1% n-butane, 1atm., 0.25 h(-1) WHSV). The local structure of Fe and Mn in promoted sulfated zirconia was investigated using fluorescence yield XAS. Spectra were taken of calcined samp...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(58)H(96)N(2)O(4), contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules. All cyclohexane rings are in chair conformations, while the furan ring is in an envelope conformation in one mol-ecule and a twist conformation in the other. Two acetaldehyde and one isobutane groups are disordered over two orientations with refined site occupancies of 0.940 ...

The dehydrogenation reaction of cholest-7-en-3P-ol (I) to cholesta-5,7-diem3/3-ol (II) in the presence of NADH was studied in rat liver microsomes and in microsomal acetone powder preparations, using [3Lu-“Hlcholest-‘7-en-3fi-o1. It was found that the reaction was inhibited by menadione, adenosine diphosphate, potassium ferricyanide, and cytochrome c while p-cresol had no effect. These results ...

Nanocrystalline magnesium hydride powder was synthesized by mechanical milling of MgH2 in a planetary ball mill for various times. The effect of MgH2 structure, i.e. crystallite size, lattice strain, particle size and specific surface area on the hydrogen desorption properties was investigated. A single peak of hydrogen desorption was observed for as-received powder, exhibiting an average parti...

In this study the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene was investigated in a simulated tubular sodalite membrane reactor. The high quality microporous sodalite membrane was synthesized by direct hydrothermal method and characterized by single gas permeation measurements. The performance of the prepared membrane showed high potential for application in a dehydrogenation membrane ...

Ezlopitant is metabolized by cytochrome P450 primarily to two metabolites: a benzyl alcohol and a corresponding alkene. The alkene arises as a direct product of metabolism of ezlopitant rather than through dehydration of the benzyl alcohol. The mechanism of this cytochrome P450 (P450)-catalyzed dehydrogenation reaction was probed with five different deuterium-labeled analogs of ezlopitant. At s...

An electrophilic substitution (SE) reaction of BN isosteres has been investigated for the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) by metal chlorides (MCl2) using various ab initio calculations. In contrast to the typical SE reaction occurring at the carbon atom, the nitrogen atom in AB serves as the reaction center for the SE reaction with the boron moiety as the leaving group when the MCl2 appr...

The effects of NbN nanoparticles synthesized via a simple "urea glass" route on the dehydrogenation properties of LiAlH4 have been systematically investigated. The particle size of the as-synthesized NbN nanoparticles is determined to be about 10 nm. The surface configuration and dehydrogenation behaviors of the 2 mol% NbN-doped LiAlH4 (2% NbN-LiAlH4) system are also discussed. It is found that...

The dehydrogenation enthalpies of Ca(AlH(4))(2), CaAlH(5), and CaH(2)+6LiBH(4) have been calculated using density functional theory calculations at the generalized gradient approximation level. Harmonic phonon zero point energy (ZPE) corrections have been included using Parlinski's direct method. The dehydrogenation of Ca(AlH(4))(2) is exothermic, indicating a metastable hydride. Calculations f...
