Mechanism of catalysis with binary and triple catalytic systems based on redox inactive metal (lithium) compound {LiSt+L2} and {LiSt+L2+PhOH} (L2=DMF or HMPA), in the selective ethylbenzene oxidation by dioxygen into -phenylethyl hydroperoxide is researched. The results are compared with catalysis by nickel-lithium triple system {NiII(acac)2+LiSt+PhOH} in selective ethylbenzene oxidation to PEH. The role of H-bonding in mechanism of catalysis is discussed. The possibility of the stable supramolecular nanostructures formation on the basis of triple systems, {LiSt+L2+PhOH}, due to intermolecular H-bonds, is researched with the AFM method.

Introduction:: MCM-41 was synthesized using the sol-gel method. Then two new transition metal complexes of Nickel (II) and Vanadium (IV), were synthesized by immobilization of adenine (6-aminopurine) into MCM-41 mesoporous. The compounds have been characterized by XRD, TGA, SEM, AAS and FT-IR spectral studies. Using these catalysts provided an efficient and enantioselective procedure for oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and oxidative coupling of thiols to their corresponding disulfides using hydrogen peroxide at room temperature. Materials and Methods:: To a solution of sulfide or thiol (1 mmol) and H2O2 (5 mmol), a determined amount of the catalyst was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for the specific time under solvent free conditions. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC using n-hexane: acetone (8:2). Afterwards, the catalyst was removed from the reaction mixture by centrifugation and, then, washed with dichloromethane in order to give the pure products. Results:: All the products were obtained in excellent yields and short reaction times indicating the high activity of the synthesized catalysts. Besides, the catalysts can be recovered and reused for several runs without significant loss in their catalytic activity. Conclusion:: These catalytic systems furnish the products very quickly with excellent yields and VO-6AP-MCM-41 shows high catalytic activity compared to Ni-6AP-MCM-41.

Some physical and catalytic properties of the two-component copper(II)oxide-chromium(III)oxide catalyst with different content of both components were studied using the decomposition of the aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide as a testing reaction. It has been found that along to both basic components, the system under study contains also the spinel structure CuCr2O4, chromate washable by water and hexavalent ions of chromium unwashable by water. The soluble chromate is catalytically active. During the first period of the reaction the equilibrium is being established in both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic systems. The catalytic activity as well as the specific surface area of the washed solid is a non-monotonous function of its composition. It seems highly probable that the extreme values of both these quantities are not connected with the detected admixtures in the catalytic system. The system under study is very insensitive with regard to the applied doses of gamma radiation. Its catalytic properties are changed rather significantly after the thermal treatment and particularly after the partial reduction to low degree by hydrogen. The observed changes of the catalytic activity of the system under study are very probably in connection with the changes of the valence state of the catalytically active components of the catalyst.

Abstract Advanced oxidation processes based on sulphate radical generated by peroxymonosulphate (PMS) activation is a promising area for environmental remediation. One of the biggest drawbacks of heterogeneous PMS activation is catalyst instability and metal ion leaching. In this study, a simple organic binder mediated route was explored to substitute Ti4+ ions into the Co3O4 host lattice structure to create a Co-O-Ti bond to minimise cobalt leaching during methyl orange degradation. The catalyst was characterised by X-ray diffraction, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The as-prepared catalysts with Co3O4:TiO2 ratio of 70:30 exhibited minimal leaching (0.9 mg/L) compared to other ratios studied. However, the pristine Co3O4 exhibited highest catalytic activity (rate constant = 0.41 min−1) and leaching (26.7 mg/L) compared to composite material (70:30 Co3O4:TiO2). Interestingly, the morphology of the composite and leaching of Co2+ ions were found to be temperature dependent, as an optimum temperature ensured strong Co-O-Ti bond for prevention of Co2+ leaching. The classical quenching test was utilised to determine the presence and role of radical species on methyl orange degradation. The fabricated catalyst also exhibited good catalytic activity in degrading mixed dyes and good recyclability, making it a potential candidate for commercial application.

<div>Although changing the size of metal nanoparticle (NP) is a reasonable way to tune and/or enhance their catalytic activity, size-selective preparation of NP possessing random-alloy morphology has been challenging because of the differences in the ionization potential of each metal ion. This study demonstrates a time-controlled aggregation–stabilization method for a size-selective preparation of random alloy NPs composed of Au and Pd, which are stabilized by poly(<i>N</i>-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP). By adjusting the mixing time in the presence of a small amount of PVP, the aggregation was induced to produce AuPd:PVP with sizes ranging between 1.2 and 8.2 nm at approximately 1 nm intervals. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analyses clearly indicated the formation of various sizes of AuPd nanoalloys with almost the same morphology, and size-dependent catalytic activity was observed when hydrodechlorination of 4-choroanisole was performed using 2-propanol as a reducing agent. AuPd:PVP with a size of 3.1 nm exhibited the highest catalytic activity. A comparison of the absorption edges on x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra suggested that the electronic state of the Au and Pd species correlated with their catalytic activity, presumably affecting the rate-determining step.</div><div> </div>

Transition metal complexes are known to be efficient catalyst for many organic transformations. Encapsulation of metal complexes in zeolite cage brings many significant modifications in the structure of the metal complexes, which are very interesting from the catalytic point of view. This study aims in a comparative evaluation of the influence of structure of neat and encapsulated complexes in their catalytic activity. Phenol is one of the major industrial pollutants. Heterogenizing transition metal Schiff bases by encapsulation inside the zeolite would help to minimize the reuse problem of transition metal complexes. This article deals with the synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity studies of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of 3-hydroxyquinoxaline-2-carboxaldehyde with ethylenediamine (L1) and an o-phenylene diamine (L2).

Abstract The inhibition of the activity of xanthine oxidase by vanadate was strikingly similar to vanadate inhibition of another molybdoprotein nitrate reductase. Although the main catalytic activity of both enzymes was inhibited, the partial NADH oxidase activity associated with these enzymes was stimulated several fold. It appears that the metal ion binds at multiple site in both enzymes. In the absence of any enzymes a combination of vanadium (V) and molybdenum (V) in air was found to oxide NADH rapidly.

Objectives: The aim of our work was to synthesize novel mixed ligand-metal complexes and evaluation of antimicrobial, antioxidant assay, and analysis of catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane. Methods: The complexes were characterized by means of various physicochemical techniques such as elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, infrared (IR), electronic absorption, 1H NMR (proton magnetic resonance), and mass spectral studies. The antimicrobial screening study was done by disc diffusion method. The catalytic activity of the complexes was observed in the oxidation of cyclohexane using eco-friendly hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. Results: On comparing the 1H NMR and IR spectral data of free ligand and its complexes, it was found to be azomethine (CH=N) proton which is formed in the free ligand. During complexation, the azomethine proton is coordinated to the metal ion and the phenolic oxygen is coordinated to the metal ion by deprotonation. The analytical data and mass spectra of the ligand and the complexes confirm the stoichiometry of metal complexes as being of the (MLY)Cl type and the metal to ligand ratio is 1:1. The antimicrobial, antioxidant, and catalytic potential were evaluated and the result shows the better activity of the complexes than the ligand. Conclusion: It was found to be copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes which are effective against all the bacteria when compared to standard drug streptomycin. Copper(II) complex was found to be effective antibacterial agent against Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus in comparison to the standard drug Nystatin. The zinc complex exhibited good catalytic activity.

Abstract In this paper, soybean protein isolate (SPI) was used as template, hydroxyapatite was crystallized on protein chains of SPI by in-situ synthesis, then the obtained inorganic HA/biopolymer SPI composite (HA@SPI) was calcined at suitable temperature, which afforded a novel hydroxyapatite-based porous materials (HApM). The results indicated that the product showed a porous morphology structure and excellent absorption performance for Pb2+. HApM maximum removal of lead was attained (96.25%) at an initial pH value of 7.4, temperature of 25 °C and contact time of 30 min with an initial metal concentration of 60 mg/L. In order to identify composition, structure and functional groups involved in the uptake of Pb2+, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD) scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis were carried out. Therefore, the hydroxyapatite-based porous materials (HApM) is a promising candidate for the treatment of liquid wastes containing toxic Pb2+ metal ion, heavy metal ion antidotes and other related fields.
