The interaction between the metals of the bimetallic catalyst and the structure of the bridged dimer can effectively reduce the steric hindrance effect and help speed up the reaction rate while ensuring the stability of the catalyst. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show that rhodium accepts electrons from chlorine, thereby increasing the electron-rich nature of rhodium and improving the catalytic activity. This promotes the nucleophilic reaction of the catalyst with methyl iodide and reduces the reaction energy barrier. The methanol carbonylation performance of the Rh/Ru catalyst was evaluated, and the results show that the conversion rate of methyl acetate and the yield of acetic acid are 96.0% under certain conditions. Furthermore, during the catalysis, no precipitate is formed and the amount of water is greatly reduced.

  • The Interactions and Reactions of Atoms and Molecules on the Surfaces of Model Interstellar Dust Grains

    The Interactions and Reactions of Atoms and Molecules on the Surfaces of Model Interstellar Dust Grains

    The Interactions and Reactions of Atoms and Molecules on the Surfaces of Model Interstellar Dust Grains A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Helen Jessica Kimber Department of Chemistry University College London 2016 -I, Helen Jessica Kimber, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed, i Abstract The elemental composition of the known universe comprises almost exclusively light atoms (~99.9% hydrogen and helium). However, to date, close to 200 different molecules have been detected in the interstellar medium (ISM) where their distribution is far from uniform. The vast majority of these molecules are contained within vast clouds of gas and dust referred to as interstellar clouds. Within these interstellar clouds, many of the molecules present are formed via gas-phase ion-neutral reactions. However, there are several molecules for which known gas-phase kinetics cannot account for observed gas-phase abundances. As a result, reactions occurring on the surface of interstellar dust grains are invoked to account for the observed abundances of some of these molecules. This thesis presents results of experimental investigations into the interaction and reactions of atoms and molecules on the surface of model interstellar dust grains. Chapters three and four present results for the reaction of (3P)O on molecular ices. Specifically, the reaction of (3P)O and propyne or acrylonitrile. After a one hour dosing period, temperature programmed desorption (TPD), coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS), are used to identify (3P)O addition products.

    39 Transition Metal Ketenes Laura M. Babcock Literature Seminar March 19, 1985 the Mechanism of Fischer-Tropsch Catalysis Is

    39 Transition Metal Ketenes Laura M. Babcock Literature Seminar March 19, 1985 The mechanism of Fischer-Tropsch catalysis is presently believed to pro­ ceed via reactions involving methylene species on metal surfaces [1]. Muetterties, Herrmann, and Katzer [2] have suggested that carbonyl carbene coupling to form an intermediate ketene complex is one reaction path which could lead to oxygen-containing products. Support for these ketene inter­ mediates arises from the ever increasing number of isolable, transition metal ketene complexes and their subsequent reactivity. Transition metal ketenes have been observed in several different bonding arrangements. C ,0 and C ,C 'TT-bonding to one or two metal centers have been reported. Terminal, MRC~C=O, and µ cluster bridged ketene complexes are 3 also known. There are three primary methods for synthesizing transition metal ketenes. Substitution reactions bind a ketene to the metal center by displacement of a weakly Mund ligand [ 3]. Dehydrohalogena tion, a general synthetic route to ketene complexes of zr ·and Ti, involves proton abstraction from the acyl~halo complex followed by displacement of the halogen by the ketene oxygen [4]. Insertion of a carbonyl into the metal carbon bond of a methylene ligand is, however, the most common method for preparing metal ketenes [5]. CO insertion into other alkylidenes and alkylidynes has been observed as well, Fig. 1. L3bellng and reactivity studies on several systems 0s(C0)4 a . /~ .

The low-cost accessibility of ethanol has been seen as an interesting topic, leading to the extensive study of the formation of distinct chemicals, such as ethylene, diethyl ether, acetaldehyde, and ethyl acetate, starting from ethanol as a raw material. In this paper, ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde in a one-step reaction was investigated by using commercial activated carbon with four different metal-doped catalysts. The reaction was conducted in a packed-bed micro-tubular reactor under a temperature range of 250–400 ◦C. The best results were found by using the copper doped on an activated carbon catalyst. Under this specified condition, ethanol conversion of 65.3% with acetaldehyde selectivity of 96.3% at 350 ◦C was achieved. This was probably due to the optimal acidity of copper doped on the activated carbon catalyst, as proven by the temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD). In addition, the other three catalyst samples (activated carbon, ceria, and cobalt doped on activated carbon) also favored high selectivity to acetaldehyde (>90%).

    ACETIC ACID and ACETIC ANHYDRIDE (November 1994)

    Abstract Process Economics Program Report 37B ACETIC ACID AND ACETIC ANHYDRIDE (November 1994) This Report presents preliminary process designs and estimated economics for the manufacture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride by carbonylation technology. The three processes evaluated in this report include Monsanto’s low pressure carbonylation of methanol process (BP Chemical acquired licensing rights to this process in 1985), Eastman’s process for carbonylation of methyl acetate to produce acetic anhydride (methanol added to the reaction mixture results in the coproduction of acetic acid in this process), and a process based on BP Chemical patents that coproduces acetic acid and acetic anhydride via carbonylation of methyl acetate in the presence of water. Both the Eastman and BP Chemical processes are back– integrated into the manufacture of the methyl acetate feedstock from methanol and acetic acid. We have included a discussion of other commercialized acetic acid and acetic anhydride processes as well as potential new processes. A list of the world’s acetic acid and acetic anhydride producers along with their estimated plant capacities and a description of the major acetic acid and acetic anhydride markets are also included in this Report. This Report will be useful to producers of acetic acid and acetic anhydride, as well as to producers of methanol and downstream products such as vinyl acetate monomer.

Hafez, Harald Wack, Brandon Young, Dana Ferraris, and Thomas Lectka* Contribution from the Department of Chemistry, Johns Hopkins UniVersity, 3400 North Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21218 Received February 5, 2002 Abstract: We report practical methodology for the catalytic, asymmetric synthesis of â-lactams resulting from the development of a catalyzed reaction of ketenes (or their derived zwitterionic enolates) and imines. The products of these asymmetric reactions can serve as precursors to a number of enzyme inhibitors and drug candidates as well as valuable synthetic intermediates. We present a detailed study of the mechanism of the â-lactam forming reaction with proton sponge as the stoichiometric base, including kinetics and isotopic labeling studies. Stereochemical models based on molecular mechanics (MM) calculations are also presented to account for the observed stereoregular sense of induction in our reactions and to provide a guidepost for the design of other catalyst systems. Introduction this structural motif a worthwhile goal for the synthetic organic 10 The clinical relevance of â-lactams continues to expand at a chemist, thus the synthesis of these nonantibiotic â-lactams surprising rate. Although their use as antibiotics is being will be the focus of this contribution. While considerable effort compromised to some extent by bacterial resistance pressures,1 has been put into synthetic methodology to construct the basic recently â-lactams (especially nonnatural ones) have achieved â-lactam skeleton, there have been few general methods many important nonantibiotic uses.
