Condensation reactions such as Guerbet and aldol are important since they allow for C-C bond formation and give higher molecular weight oxygenates. An initial study identified Pd-supported on hydrotalcite as an active catalyst for the, transformation, although this catalyst showed extensive undesirable decarbonylation. A catalyst containing Pd and Cu in a 3:1 ratio dramatically decreased decarbonylation, while preserving the high catalytic rates seen with Pd-based catalysts. A combination of XRD, EXAFS, TEM, and CO chemisorption and TPD revealed the formation of CuPd bimetallic nanoparticles with a Cu-enriched surface. Finally, density functional theory studies suggest that the surface segregation of Cu atoms in the bimetallic alloy catalyst produces Cu sites with increased reactivity, while the Pd sites responsible for unselective decarbonylation pathways are selectively poisoned by CO.

INTRAZEOLITE METAL-CARBONYL TOPOTAXY - A COMPREHENSIVE STRUCTURAL AND SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF INTRAZEOLITE GROUP-VI METAL HEXACARBONYLS AND SUBCARBONYLS
Özkar, Saim; MOLLER, K; BEIN, T (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1990-12-01)
This paper focuses attention on the intrazeolite anchoring, thermal decarbonylation, ligand exchange, and addition chemistry of M(CO)6-M'56Y, where M = Cr, Mo, W; M' = H, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs. The key points to emerge from this study include the following. (i) M(CO)6-M'56Y samples have the hexacarbonylmetal(O) molecule associated with two alpha-cage extraframework cations (or Bronsted protons), via the oxygen end of two trans bonded carbonyls with a saturation loading of 2M(CO)6/alpha-cage. (ii) M(CO)6-M'56...
GUEST HOST INTERACTIONS IN SODIUM ZEOLITE-Y - STRUCTURAL AND DYNAMIC NA-23 DOUBLE-ROTATION NMR-STUDY OF H2O, PME3, MO(CO)6, AND MO(CO)4(PME3)2 ADSORPTION IN NA56Y
JELINEK, R; Özkar, Saim; PASTORE, HO; MALEK, A; OZIN, GA (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1993-01-01)
Na-23 double-rotation NMR (DOR) provides site-specific structural and dynamical information on guest-host interactions within sodium zeolite Y pores. Quantitative adsorption of H2O, PMe3, and Mo(CO)6 guests affects both the positions and line shapes of the N-23 resonances from specific extraframework Na+ sites. The evolution of the Na-23 DOR spectra with the progressive introduction of guest molecules allows one to probe direct ''solvation'' effects involving the Na+ cations in the larger supercages, as wel...
Bonding self-assembled, compact organophosphonate monolayers to the native oxide surface of silicon
Hanson, EL; Schwartz, J; Nickel, B; Koch, N; Danışman, Mehmet Fatih (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2003-12-24)
A new method is described to prepare strongly bonded, compact monolayer films of alkyl- or arylphosphonates on the native oxide surface of Si (SiO2/Si). This method is illustrated for octadecyl- and alpha-quarterthiophene-2-phosphonates. For both cases, AFM shows comprehensive coverage of the SiO2/Si surface. The thickness of the continuous film of 4TP/SiO2/Si was measured both by AFM and by X-ray reflectivity to be ca. 18 Angstrom. Direct gravimetric analysis shows surface coverage by alpha-quarterthiophen...
Iridium(0) nanocluster, acid-assisted catalysis of neat acetone hydrogenation at room temperature: Exceptional activity, catalyst lifetime, and selectivity at complete conversion
Özkar, Saim (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2005-04-06)
Acetone hydrogenation catalysis is important in applications such as heat pumps and fuel cells or in fulfilling the sizable demand for the product of selective acetone hydrogenation, 2-propanol. Reported herein is the discovery of a superior acetone hydrogenation catalyst- superior in terms of activity at low temperature, selectivity at complete conversion, and total catalyst lifetime. The new catalyst system consists of lr(0)(n) nanoclusters plus HCI easily and reproducibly formed from commercially availab...
Cobalt Metallopeptide Electrocatalyst for the Selective Reduction of Nitrite to Ammonium
Guo, Yixing; Stroka, Jesse R.; Kandemir, Banu; Dickerson, Claire E.; Bren, Kara L. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-12-12)
A cobalt-tripeptide complex (CoGGH) is developed as an electrocatalyst for the selective six-electron, eight-proton reduction of nitrite to ammonium in aqueous buffer near neutral pH. The onset potential for nitrite reduction occurs at -0.65 V vs Ag/AgCl (1 M KCl). Controlled potential electrolysis at -0.90 V generates ammonium with a faradaic efficiency of 90 +/- 3% and a turnover number of 3550 +/- 420 over 5.5 h. CoGGH also catalyzes the reduction of the proposed intermediates nitric oxide and hydroxylam...
