Nanocluster formation and stabilization fundamental studies. 2. Proton sponge as an effective H+ scavenger and expansion of the anion stabilization ability series

2002-10-01
The two main goals of the current work are: (i) to test the effects of Proton Sponge as a H+ scavenger and (ii) to test and rank the relative efficacy of the anions (Y-) listed below for their relative ability to allow the formation, stabilization (including isolability), high catalytic activity, and long catalytic lifetime in the following, more generalizable transition metal nanocluster formation reaction: 1.0[Bu4N](q)Y + 1.0[(1,5-COD)Ir(I)(CH3CN)(2)]BF4 + 2.5H(2) --> 1.0cyclooctane + 1/n{[Bu4N](nq)[Ir(0)(n).Y]} + H+BF4- + 2CH(3)CN. The anions investigated, Y-, are the tri-Nb(V)-substituted polyoxoanion SiW9Nb3O407-, the tri-Ti(IV)-substituted polyoxoanion ([P2W15(TiOH)(3)O-similar to59](9-))(n) (n = 1, 2), citrate trianion (C6H5O73-), acetate (OAc-), trimetaphosphate (P3O93-), chloride (Cl-), and hydroxide (OH-). The five criteria we developed recently (Ozkar, S.; Finke, R. G. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 5796) are used to determine the effects of Proton Sponge (in comparison to control experiments employing Bu4N+OH-) and to rank the Y- anions. The results reveal that Proton Sponge is an effective, weakly coordinating, and generally preferred Bronsted base in comparison to the more basic and more coordinating OH-, at least for the formation and catalytic properties of Ir(0) nanoclusters in acetone with BH4N+ and for other conditions examined. The results also yield an expanded anion series of the relative ability of anions to promote the kinetically controlled formation, stabilization, and good catalytic properties of Ir(0) nanoclusters in acetone with Bu4N+ cations: P2W15Nb3O629- similar to [(P2W15Nb3O61)(2)O](16-) similar to SiW9Nb3O407- similar to ([P2W15(TiOH)(3)O-similar to59](9-))(n) (n = 1, 2) > C6H5O73- > [-CH2-CH(CO2-)-](n)(n-) similar to OAc- similar to P3O93- similar to Cl- similar to OH-. The essence of this series, the first of its kind, is: Bronsted basic polyoxoanions > citrate(3-) > other common anions used in nanocluster syntheses. The results allow three other (five total) conclusions, results that should assist others in picking the best anions for the formation and stabilization of their own transition metal nanoclusters.

There are two main objectives of this work. First one is to reveal general characteristics of organic particulate composition in Ankara atmosphere, including their temporal and spatial variability, dependence of composition to meteorology and sources. The second one is to generate new source markers to improve the resolution receptor oriented source apportionment studies. In this study, 45 particulate organic matters were measured at two different stations in Ankara. First one was located at parking site of...

Firstly, it is aimed to check the fit of "the risk perception model" developed by Deery (1999) among young male non-professional and taxi driver samples. Secondly, it is aimed to analyze the effect of driving as a profession on risk perception and risk-taking behaviors of drivers. Thirdly, it is aimed to facilitate driving simulation in order to measure driver behaviors by comparing the results with self-reported driver behaviors. 40 young m...

Institutional political economy of economic development and global governance
Özçelik, Emre; Özveren, Eyüp; Department of Economics (2006)
There are two inter-related themes of this thesis: Economic development and global governance. We develop a perspective of what we call ‘Institutional International Political Economy’ (IIPE) in order to: i) assess the likelihood of developmental success on the part of the Third World countries in the twenty-first century, and ii) analyze the developmental and world-systemic implications of the so-called ‘global governance model’, which we conceptualize as an ultra-liberal capitalist project on the part of...
Invariant subspaces of positive operators on riesz spaces and observations on cd0(K)-spaces
Çağlar, Mert; Ercan, Zafer; Department of Mathematics (2005)
The present work consists of two main parts. In the first part, invariant subspaces of positive operators or operator families on locally convex solid Riesz spaces are examined. The concept of a weakly-quasinilpotent operator on a locally convex solid Riesz space has been introduced and several results that are known for a single operator on Banach lattices have been generalized to families of positive or close-to-them operators on these spaces. In the second part, the so-called generalized Alexandroff dupl...
