In this work, the desorption of furfural, which is a competitive intermediate during the production of biofuel and valuable aromatic compounds, was studied using pure alumina, as well as alumina impregnated with iron and platinum oxides both individually and in combination, using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The bimetallic sample exhibited the lowest desorption percentage for furfural. Hig...

The reactions of dinuclear [Pt2(4-RC6H4)4(μ-SEt2)2] (R = Me or F), or mononuclear [Pt(4-RC6H4)2(SMe2)2] (R = Me or H), platinum(ii) compounds with imines of the general formula 2-X,6-YC6H3CH[double bond, length as m-dash]NCH2Ph (X = Br, Y = F; X = Cl, Y = F; X = Br, Y = H) produced seven-membered [C,N]-platinacycles. The reaction consists of the initial formation of cyclometallated platinum(iv)...

platinum is a metallic element, which may react with our cellular component through its involvement in cancer chemotherapy medications. cisplatin is one of the most useful antineoplastic drugs against human ovarian carcinoma, which has the central element of platinum in its structure. the nature of chemical interaction between platinum and cellular macromolecules is yet to be understood. we exa...

The mechanisms of the thermolytic decomposition of a series of unsaturated cyclic C8 hydrocarbons adsorbed on a platinum(111) single crystal surface are described. This study both confirms and extends the results reported by Frei and Campbell which corrected errors in an earlier report from our laboratory on the mechanisms of thermal decomposition seen in this adsorbate system. We find that the...

Cladding base metals with platinum or platinum alloys offers certain technical and economic advantages. In an earlier paper the mechanical properties of the metals to be joined were discussed. In this second paper it is shown that interdifi ion of the two materials being joined together must be considered, and that ifthe partners have different diffusion coefficients diffzculties can result dur...

In this work, the cation and anion products of the reactions between platinum clusters produced by laser ablation and the benzene molecules seeded in argon have been studied using a high-resolution reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer (RTOFMS). The dominant cation products are [C(6n)H(6n - k)](+) and [Pt(m)(C(6)H(6))(n)](+) complexes, while the dominant anion products are dehydrogenated ...

reduced graphene oxide film was synthesized on a glassy carbon electrode by electro reduction of graphene oxide powders in aqueous solution. then platinum nano particles were deposited on reduced graphene oxide film that was deposited on the glassy carbon electrode via electro reduction of platinum salt. the physical morphology of the platinum on reduced graphene oxide film was evaluated by sca...

the silica supported platinum nanoparticles was synthesized by using the sol-gel method. the possibility of using diamminedinitro platinum (ii) as pt precursor and effect of metal precursor concentration on the final pt nanoparticle size was investigated. a stable silica sol was prepared via hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (teos) as a metal alcoxide and condensation reaction. subsequentl...
