The effect of preirradiation with γ-rays from cobalt-60 and ultraviolet light from a low-pressure source on the exchange between benzene and heavy water in the presence of self-activated platinum oxide has been studied. Both rates of multiple and stepwise exchange processes are accelerated under these conditions. Of 14 oxides examined, including the Group VIII transition metals, platinum is the only one to catalyse exchange up to 130�. Preliminary experiments indicate that radiation-induced oxygen desorption from the surface of the oxide is responsible for the accelerative effect. Internal radiation sources such as tritium oxide also increase initial exchange rates. Cholesterol, naphthalene, dibenzyl, diphenyl, benzoic acid, and diphenyl ether have been studied with tritium oxide. The results can be rationalized in terms of π- complex mechanisms for exchange. A catalytic model for the mechanism of the radiation-induced effect is proposed.

Exchange reactions between heavy water and the alkylbenzenes have been investigated on the following self-activated Group VIII transition metal oxides: PtO2,2H2O; PdO; Rh2O3; IrO2,2H2O; RuO2,H2O; ReO2; and Ni2O3. All oxides except Ni2O3 are self-activated by benzene up to 180�. Order of ease of self-activation is Pt > Pd > Rh, Ru, Ir > Re > Ni. Trends in deuteration rates of the alkylbenzenes on self-activated platinum oxide are generally similar to those obtained on hydrogen prereduced platinum. At 130�, some differences in reactivity are observed and these are attributed to reagent displacement effects from the presence of small percentages of dimer (1%) associated with the self-activation process. Compared with hydrogen prereduced catalysts, significant differences in isotope orientation are observed with certain alkylbenzenes on self-activated catalysts. Multiple deuteration effects which are accentuated on self-activated catalysts have been used to confirm isotope orientation and also the participation of a π-complex mechanism for the exchange process. Isomerization and exchange in cis- and trans-stilbenes on self-activated platinum have also been interpreted by the dissociative n-complex substitution mechanism. The advantages of self-activated catalysts in general deuterium and tritium labelling work have been evaluated. Possible correlations between exchange results and electron spin resonance data for charge-transfer adsorption on the above oxides are discussed. Preliminary kinetic studies with self-activation are also reported.

A new process for the activation of platinum oxide, termed self-activation, is described. This procedure involves the reduction of platinic oxide with an organic compound such as benzene, naphthalene, or n-octane. The potential of the resulting catalyst in deuterium exchange reactions has been evaluated with three characteristic organic compounds, n-octane, naphthalene, and benzene. A comparison has been made in the properties of prereduced catalysts prepared by a self-activation procedure and catalysts activated conventionally with hydrogen gas. For high-temperature exchange reactions ( >90�), the former catalysts are to be preferred since higher final activities of up to 300% may be achieved. The kinetics of self-activation suggest that catalyst deactivation by reagents may be due to modification of active sites. With aromatic compounds, it is proposed that this deactivation occurs through a π-complex interaction. Isotope distribution studies in the labelled benzenes indicate that self-activated, prereduced catalysts, by comparison with hydrogen-activated catalysts, exhibit relatively low M values in relation to their activities. Distribution data are consistent with the explanation that catalyst deactivation by benzene is a process involving the generation of new types of active sites which are more numerous but of lower activity than the original sites. Attempts to stabilize prereduced catalysts by chemical methods were unsuccessful.

Abstract The investigation of several 13carbon and deuterium labelled n-butyl and n-pentyl benzenes demonstrate that chemical ionization (reagent gas: methane) induces specific carbon-carbon bond cleavages of the alkyl group. The extent of competing reaction channels as for instance direct alkene elimination versus dealkylation/reprotonation is analyzed. Partial hydrogen exchange processes between reagent ions and substrate molecules are restricted to the phenyl ring. Intramolecular exchange reactions between the side chain and the aromatic ring which are typical for the open shell molecular ions of alkyl benzenes are not observed for analogous closed shell cations.

The formation of paramagnetic species on catalyst surfaces at room temperature through the interaction of polynuclear aromatics in solid, liquid, or solute form with hydrated platinum oxide (PtO2,2H2O) is reported. The results are attributed to the formation of charge-transfer complexes, where the transferred electrons couple weakly, forming essentially a "diradicaloid" complex with a low-lying, thermally populated, triplet state. The effect of solvent, particle size, oxygen, water of crystallization, and temperature on the generation and stability of these e.s.r. active species has been investigated. The possible importance of these paramagnetic species in catalytic self-activation and hydrogen exchange reactions has been discussed. The following Group VIII transition metal oxides gave no e.s.r. spectra under relatively severe reaction conditions such as 1 hr at 120�: PdO; Ru02,2H20; RuO2; Rh2O3; IrO2,2H2O; ReO2; and NiO.

Activation procedures and hydrogen exchange reactions with six Group VIII transition metal catalysts (Pt, Pd, Ru, Rh, Ir, Ni) are reported for three characteristic reaction systems: (i) deuterium oxide/benzene, (ii) deuterium oxide/naphthalene, and (iii) deuterium oxide/n-octane. Results of these exchange reactions indicate that both π-complex adsorption and the dissociative π-complex substitution mechanism previously established for platinum are applicable to other Group VIII transition metal catalysts. For general catalytic labelling with isotopic hydrogen, platinum was found to be the most efficient of the catalysts investigated.
