OBSERVATION OF BIPHASIC KINETICS IN LIGHT-INDUCED SPIN-STATE CROSSOVER IN AN IRON(II) COMPLEX IN SOLUTION

Relaxation of the 1A1 half arrow right over half arrow left 5T2 spin equilibrium in acetonitrile of the complex of Fe(II) with the multidentate pyridyl macrocyclic ligand N,N',N''-tris(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclodecane (tp[10]aneN3) after perturbation by a pulsed laser provides the first example of biphasic kinetics for spin crossover in solution with a fast (tau

Theory of the Kinetics of Chemical Potentials in Heterogeneous Catalysis

Simple and powerful: The reaction kinetics at surfaces of heterogeneous catalysts is reformulated in terms of the involved chemical potentials. Based on this formulism, an approach of searching for good catalysts is proposed without recourse to extensive calculations of reaction barriers and detailed kinetic analyses. (see picture; R=reactant, I=surface intermediate, P=product, and =standard chemical potential).

Rate-determining stage in NOSCR with propane on low-exchanged Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst

The kinetics of the NO SCR with propane has been studied on a low-exchanged Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst. The study of the kinetics of individual reaction stages (2-nitrosopropane isomerization to acetone oxime and reaction of adsorbed acetone oxime with gaseous NO) has shown that the NO reaction with acetone oxime is the rate-determining stage in the whole chain of transformations leading to the formation of molecular nitrogen in the low-temperature region below 300 C-degrees. The kinetic analysis of the reaction has revealed that at the temperatures above 300(degrees)C propane plays a more important role.
