Half-sandwich metal diselenolate complexes Cp#M(NO)(SePh)(2) (M = Mo or W; Cp# = Cp or MeCp) as ligands. Synthesis of selenolate-bridged heterobimetallic compounds

The reactions of half-sandwich diselenolate Mo and W complexes (CpM)-M-#(NO)(SePh)(2) (M = Mo; Cp-# = Cp' (1a), MeCp (1b); M = W; Cp-# = Cp' (1c)) with (Norb)Mo(CO)(4), Ni(COD)(2) and Fe(CO)(5) have been investigated. Treatment of (1a), (1b) and (1c) with (Norb)Mo(CO)(4) in PhMe gave the bimetallic complexes: Cp'Mo(NO)(mu -SePh)(2)Mo(CO)(4) (2a), MeCpMo(NO)(mu -SePh)(2)Mo(CO)(4) (2b) and Cp'W(NO)(mu -SePh)(2)Mo(CO)(4) (2c) in moderate yields. Irradiation of (1a) and (1c) in the presence of Fe(CO)(5) gave heterobimetallic complexes Cp'Mo(CO)(mu -SePh)(2)Fe(CO)(3) (3a) and Cp'W(NO)(mu -SePh)(2)Fe(CO)(3) (3c). Ni(COD)(2) reacts with two equivalents of (1a), (1b) and (1c) to give [Cp'Mo(NO)(mu -SePh)(2)](2)Ni (4a), [MeCpMo(NO)(mu -SePh)(2)](2)Ni (4b) and [Cp'W(NO)(mu -SePh)(2)](2)Ni (4c) in good yields. The new heterobimetallic complexes were characterized by i.r., H-1-n.m.r., C-13-n.m.r. and EI-MS spectroscopy.

STUDIES ON DEFECT STRUCTURE AND CATALYTIC PROPERTIES OF SN-MO OXIDES

The present work is devoted to the studies on relationship of structure and activity of Sn-Mo oxides by using XRD, ESR, IR, XPS, TEM and SEM. Eight samples with Mo/(Mo + Sn) rations: 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0 were prepared. On the basis of structure characterization, Sn-Mo oxides can be divided into three groups: Catalysts I with Mo/(Mo + So) less-than-or-equal-to 0.2, Catalysts II with 0.2 < Mo/(Mo + Sn) < 0.8, and catalysts III with Mo/(Mo + Sn) greater-than-or-equal-to 0.8. The solid solution of Mo5+ in tin oxide was formed and the cation vacancy was formed in catalysts I. The solid solution of Sn4+ in molybdenum oxide was formed in catalysts III. The lattice oxygen in catalysts III has higher mobility and reactivity than that in catalysts I. The catalysts III showed higher activity but lower selectivity than that of catalysts I.

Methane dehydro-aromatization over a Mo/phosphoric rare earth-containing penta-sil type zeolite in the absence of oxygen

The dehydro-aromatization of methane over a Mo-modified penta-sil type high-silica zeolite containing phosphoric and rare earth oxide (abbreviated as Mo/HZRP-1) was investigated. As a modification of HZSM-5, HZRP-1 is also a good support for the preparation of Mo-based zeolite catalysts, and is active for methane dehydro-aromatization. Mo/HZRP-1 catalysts are more active at high Mo loadings compared with Mo/HZSM-5 catalysts. Al-27 MAS NMR spectra of Mo/HZRP-1 reveal that there are two kinds of framework Al in HZRP-1. It is suggested that only the tetrahedral coordinated Al atoms in the form of Al-O-Si species in the zeolite, in the proton forms, are responsible for the formation of aromatics.

Kinetic study of MOCVD III-V quaternary antimonides

The kinetics of MOCVD GaInAsSb and AlGaAsSb was studied by the growth rate as a function of growth temperature and partial pressure of III and V MO species. The diffusion theory was used to explain the mass transport processes in MOCVD III-V quaternary antimonides. On the basis of the discussion about their growth kinetics and epilayer properties, the good quality multi-epilayers of these two quaternary antimonides and their photodetectors and arrays with wavelength of 1.8 similar to 2.3 mu m and detectivities of D* > 10(9) cm Hz(1/2) W-1 were obtained.

X-ray emission produced by interaction of highly ionized Arq+ ions with metallic targets

This paper studies the X-ray spectra produced by the interaction of highly charged ions of Arq+ (q = 16, 17, 18) with metallic surface of Be, Al, Ni, Mo and Au respectively. The experimental results show that the K alpha X-ray emerges from under the surface of solid in the interaction of ions with targets. The multi-electron excitation occurred in the process neutralization of the Ar16+ in electronic configuration of 1s(2) in metallic surfaces, which produces vacancy in the K shell. Electron from high n state transition to K vacancy gives off X-ray. We find that there is no obvious relation between the shape of X-ray spectra and the different targets. The X-ray yield of incident ions are associated with initial electronic configuration. The X-ray yield of target is related to the kinetic energy of the incident ions.

Direct conversion of methane under nonoxidative conditions

Direct conversion of methane into hydrogen and valuable chemicals under nonoxidative conditions is a process severely limited thermodynamically. However, the movement from the present era of fossil fuels into the coming hydrogen energy age makes it an interesting and important approach compared with the direct conversion of methane under the aid of oxidants. This paper gives a brief overview of the direct conversion of CH4 under nonoxidative conditions. At the same time, our understanding of methane dehydroaromatization over Mo/HZSM-5 catalysts for the simultaneous formation of hydrogen and light aromatics is discussed in general, while the bifunctionality of Mo/HZSM-5 catalysts and the role of carbonaceous deposits formed during the reaction are reviewed in more detail. A perspective of the topic from both academic points of view and potential industrial applications is also presented. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.

Nonisothermal crystallization behavior of glass-bead-filled polypropylene

The effects of the glass-bead content and size on the nonisothermal crystallization behavior of polypropylene (PP)/glass-bead blends were studied with differential scanning calorimetry. The degree of crystallinity decreased with the addition of glass bead, and the crystallization temperature of the blends was marginally higher than that of pure PP at various cooling rates. Furthermore, the half-time for crystallization decreased with an increase in the glass-bead content or particle size, implying the nucleating role of the glass beads. The nonisothermal crystallization data were analyzed with the methods of Avrami, Ozawa, and Mo. The validity of various kinetic models for the nonisothermal crystallization process of PP/glass-bead blends was examined. The approach developed by Mo successfully described the nonisothermal crystallization behavior of PP and PP/glass-bead blends. Finally, the activation energy for the nonisothermal crystallization of pure PP and PP/glass-bead blends based on the Kissinger method was evaluated.

Synthesis and structural characterization of a new molecule-based complex constructed from dodecamolybdophosphoric acid and imidazole

A new compound, (CH5N2)(3)(PMo12O40CH4N23H2O)-C-.-H-. (1), was synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, UV spectra, NMR spectra and ESR spectra. This is, to our knowledge, the first example of an imidazole-polyoxometalate species. The compound was recrystallized from N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and then black block-like crystals of (C3H5N2)(4)((PMoMo11O40)-Mo-V-O-VI)(.)4C(3)H(7)NO(.) 2H(2)O (2), were obtained. It crystallizes in a triclinic space group P (1) over bar with n=12.423(3) Angstrom, b=12.666(3) Angstrom, c=13.341(3) Angstrom, alpha=70.56(3)degrees, beta=71.16(3)degrees, gamma=64.18(3)degrees, V= 1742.3(6) Angstrom(3), Z=1, R1 = 0.0585, wR2 = 0.1885. An X-ray crystallographic study showed that the crystal structure is constructed by electrostatic attractions and hydrogen bonds between a dodecamolybdophosphoric anion and an imidazole. The imidazole and DMF molecules occupy cavities in a polyoxometalate lattice ordered along a c-axis. The structure of (2) is similar to that of (1) from a comparison of both IR spectra and TGA Curves.

The structure was refined to R = 0.046 and Rw = 0.051 for 4357 observed reflections. The molecule of 1 consists of two Mo(CO)(2)(PPh(3)) fragments linked by an Mo-Mo bond (2.974(2)Angstrom) and by two doubly-bridging pyS ligands.

Ln(2)Mo(3)O(12) and Ce2Mo3O12.25 are reduced by hydrogen yielding Mo4+ oxides of the formula Ln(2)Mo(3)O(9) (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd and Dy). The new compound Ce2Mo3O9 has the same structure as other Ln(2)Mo(3)O(9) compounds. All of the products are single phase materials and crystallize in a tetragonal scheelite type structure with Mo2O6 clusters. The IR spectra of the Ln(2)Mo(3)O(9) oxides show two absorption bands. These compounds are black n-type semiconductors, and exhibit Curie-Weiss Law behavior from 100K to 250K. Temperature dependence of the electrical properties of these compounds were measured for the first time, and a semiconductor-metal transition was found at about 250 degrees C.
