Direct oxidation of benzene to phenol on manganese pyrophosphate with hydrogen peroxide

A solid catalyst manganese pyrophosphate based on non-sieves to oxidize benzene to phenol with oxidant hydrogen peroxide has shown good conversion with good selectivity in CH3CN at 65 degrees C investigating water contact angle data of three manganese salts, it is found manganese pyrophosphate has certain repulsive water character. It is further to be confirmed by benzene and phenol adsorption experiments onto catalyst surface by GC. With benzene/H2O2 ratio of 1, the benzene conversion of 13.8% with phenol selectivity of 85.0% was achieved. It is noteworthy that no any products are obtained using manganese pyrophosphate as catalyst in the oxidation of phenol in CH3CN solvent.

catena-Poly[[[di-mu-acetato-kappa O-4 : O '-bis[(acetato-kappa O-2,O ')manganese(II)]]-di-mu-4,4 '-bipyridine-kappa N-4 : N '] monohydrate]

The title compound, {[Mn-2(CH3CO2)(4)(C10H8N2)(2)](H2O)-H-.}(n), is a one-dimensional coordination polymer with a ladder-like structure. Two Mn-II atoms, each coordinated by a chelating acetate ligand, are bridged by two bidentate acetate ligands to form a centrosymmetric [Mn-2(CH3CO2)(4)] unit. Two 4,4'-bipyridine ligands link the [Mn-2(CH3CO2)(4)] units through Mn-N bonds to generate a molecular ladder. The water O atom lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis.

Synthesis and crystal structure of bis(tetrahydrofurfurylindenyl) lanthanide chlorides

Lanthanocene chlorides (C4H7OCH2C9H6)(2)LnCl[Ln=Y(1); Ln=Gd(2)] were synthesized by the reaction of tetrahydrofurfurylindenyl lithium(in situ) with corresponding anhydrous lanthanide chorides in THF. The crystal structures of these two complexes were determined by X-ray diffraction and they were unsolvated monomeric complexes. They were stable in the air for several hours. Complexes 1 and 2 belong to the same crystal system (orthorhombic) and space group(P2(1)2(1)2(1)). The unit cell dimensions of complex 1 were a=1.042 52(9) nm, b=1.47455(12) nm, c=1.497 99(13) nm, Z=4, D-c=1.508 g/cm(3); The unit cell dimensions of complex 2 were a=1.037 01(10) nm, b=1.472 33(12) nm, c=1.513 54(14) nm, Z=4, D-c=1.699 g/cm(3). They have the same structure and different space configurations. The central metal atom is coordinated by two indenyl, two oxygen of the tetrahydrofurfuryl and one chlorine atom to form a distorted trigonal bipyramid.

Syntheses and crystal structures of bis(tetrahydrofurfurylindenyl) lanthanocene chlorides (C4H7OCH2C9H6)(2)LnCl (Ln = Nd, Sm, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb)

Reaction of anhydrous lanthanide trichlorides with tetrahydrofurfuryl indenyl lithium in THF afforded bis(tetrahydrofurfurylindenyl) lanthanocene chlorides complexes (C4H7OCH2C9H6)(2) LnCl, Ln = Nd (1), Sm (2), Dy (3), Ho (4), Er (5), Yb (6). The X-ray crystallographic structures of all the six complexes were determined and these indicate that they are unsolvated nine-coordinate monomeric complexes with a trans arrangement of both the sidearm and indenyl rings in the solid state. They belong to the same crystal system (orthorhombic) and space group (P2(1)2(1)2(1)) with the same structure. Especially, they are more stable to air and moisture than the corresponding unsubstituted indenyl lanthanide complexes.

A manganese molybdenum phosphate, (NH3CH2CH2NH3)(10)(H3O)(3)(H5O)Na-2[MnMo12O24(OH)(6) (PO4)(4)(PO3OH)(4)][MnMo12O24 (OH)(6)(PO4)(6)(PO3OH)(2)]. 9H(2)O, has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of this compound may be considered to be two [Mo6O12(OH)(3)(PO4)(2)(HPO4)(2)](7-) units bonded together by a manganese atom, although several P-O groups are not protonated on account of coordination to a Na+ cation. One-dimensional tunnels were formed in the solid. A probe reaction of the oxidation of acetaldehyde with H2O2 using this compound as catalyst was carried out in a liquid-solid system, showing that the manganese molybdenum phosphate has high catalytic activity in the reaction.

Rapid automated in-situ monitoring of total dissolved iron and total dissolved manganese in underground water by reverse-flow injection with chemiluminescence detection during the process of water treatment

Measurement of iron and manganese is very important in evaluating the quality of natural waters. We have constructed an automated Fe(II), total dissolved iron(TDI), Mn(II), and total dissolved manganese(TDM) analysis system for the quality control of underground drinking water by reverse flow injection analysis and chemiluminescence detection(rFIA-CL), The method is based on the measurement of the metal-catalyzed light emission from luminol oxidation by potassium periodate. The typical signal is a narrow peak, in which the height is proportional to light emitted and hence to the concentration of metal ions. The detection limits were 3 x 10(-6) mu g ml(-1) for Fe(II) and the linear range extents up to 1.0 x 10(-4) and 5 x 10(-6) mu g ml(-1) for Mn(II) cover a linear range to 1.0 x 10(-4) mu g ml(-1). This method was used for automated in-situ monitoring of total dissolved iron and total dissolved in underground water during water treatment. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

ELECTROCHEMICAL AND IN-SITU SPECTROELECTROCHEMICAL STUDY OF (TETRAPHENYLPORPHINATO)MANGANESE(III) PERCHLORATE IN THE PRESENCE OF CHLORIDE ANIONS .2. OXIDATION PROCESSES

An investigation of electrode oxidation processes of (tetra-phenylporphinato) manganese (III) Perchlorate, (TPS)Mn(III)ClO4, was carried out during the titration of chloride anions by conventional cyclic voltammetry, thin-layer cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry. It was demonstrated that in the presence of one equivalent amount of Cl-, the first one electron oxidation reaction corresponds to the Mn(III)I cation radical oxidation, and the second one electron oxidation corresponds to the cation radical/dication generation followed by an iso-porphyrin formation reaction, however in the presence of two equivalent amount of Cl-, the first one electron oxidation of Mn(III) gives Mn(IV) porphyrin and the second one electron oxidation generates cation radicals of Mn(IV) followed by an iso-porphyrin formation reactions. Mechanisms of these redox processes are postulated.

MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF LANTHANUM MANGANITE AND VALENCE EQUILIBRIA OF MANGANESE

The paramagnetic susceptibility of lanthanum manganite has been measured over a wide temperature range (100-1073 K). On the basis of the thermodynamic equilibria between the various manganese ions with different valence and spin states and the magnetic interactions between the various manganese ions, a semiempirical formula has been proposed to calculate the paramagnetic susceptibilities of lanthanum manganite at different temperatures. The results indicate that most of the discrepancies between the calculated and experimental reciprocal susceptibilities of lanthanum manganite are less than 10% and that the relative contents of the various manganese ions in lanthanum manganite vary with temperature. The relative content of the trivalent manganese ion with a high spin state is dominant over the whole temperature range, while be relative content of the tetravalent manganese ion with a high spin state decreases monotonously with increasing temperature. At 300 K the calculated relative content of the tetravalent manganese ion in lanthanum manganite is about 34%, which is in good agreement with the experimental result (30%). There are some divalent manganese ions present in lanthanum manganite from low temperature to high temperature. The ratio of the relative contents of the tetravalent and divalent manganese ions in the compound varies with temperature. Above 750 K the relative content of the tetravalent manganese ion is less than that of the divalent manganese ion. The variation in the electrical resistivity of lanthanum manganite with temperature has also been interpreted reasonably.

ELECTROCHEMICAL AND INSITU SPECTROELECTROCHEMICAL STUDY OF (TETRAPHENYLPORPHINATO)MANGANESE (III) PERCHLORATE IN THE PRESENCE OF CHLORIDE ANIONS .1. REDUCTION PROCESSES

The mechanism of electrochemical redox reactions of (tetra-phenylporphinato) managanese(III) perchlorate, (TPP)Mn(III)ClO4, was studied In the presence of chloride anions in dichloroethane solution. It was demonstrated that Mn(II) or Mn (III) centre can be coordinated with only one chloride anion, this result makes an about 100 mV negative shift of half-wave potential of Mn (III)/Mn (II) reduction. An equilibrium constant of 2.2 x 10(4) was determined for the complexation reaction of Cl- and Mn(III) centre.
