[more ▼] Iron(III) species dispersed in silica have been synthesized with a sol-gel process. The iron(III) was introduced as the acetylacetonate complex into a solution of tetraethoxysilane to yield, after evaporative drying, pellets or monoliths. Two gels were dried very slowly over a period of five months in order to prepare a defect free monolith useful for nonlinear optical studies. Z-scan experimental studies on the resulting, transparent, monolithic, doped solid revealed an optical Kerr effect, a third order nonlinear optical phenomenon showing a linear dependence of the refractive index on the irradiance with a nonlinear refractive index, n(2), of -1.95 x 10(-11) cm(2)/W. Magnetic susceptibility studies between 4.2 and 295 K revealed paramagnetic behavior with a Curie constant of 4.433 (emu/mol)K and a Weiss temperature of -7.1 K. Magnetization studies at 5 K and at applied fields of up to 4 T and Mossbauer spectral studies between 4.2 and 295 K revealed a 50:50 mixture of paramagnetic species and nanoparticles with an average particle radius of 1.3 +/- 0.2 nm. A blocking temperature of 70 K and a magnetic anisotropy energy of 2.4 x 10(5) J/m(3) stop are derived from the Mossbauer spectra. (c) 2006 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc.

[more ▼] Porous carbon xerogels synthesized in a previous study were investigated as catalysts supports. The support chosen was a micro-mesoporous carbon xerogel obtained from the pyrolysis of a resorcinol-formaldehyde resin whose synthesis variables were fixed at suitable values. Palladium and silver were deposited on this tailored texture carbon by co-impregnation using a solution of palladium and silver nitrates in nitric acid and water. Several catalysts were prepared with various Pd and Ag global contents, the latters being measured experimentally. Alloy particles, detected in all bimetallic samples, were studied by a combination of various techniques that enabled us to obtain their size as well as their bulk and surface composition. When present, the fraction of unalloyed silver was also calculated. The characterization data were related to the results of catalytic tests obtained for selective hydrodechlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane into ethylene. Results show that when the Ag content is too high, pure Ag particles are formed and the alloy composition remains constant. As a consequence, the surface composition of the alloy is constant as well and the catalytic tests lead to similar results. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

[more ▼] While 1,2-dichloroethane hydrodechlorination over pure palladium mainly produces ethane, increasing silver or copper content in bimetallic catalysts results in an increase in ethylene selectivity. The specific consumption rate of 1,2-dichloroethane decreases when silver or copper loading increases. The turnover frequency, that is, the number of catalytic cycle per active site (palladium atom and its surrounding silver or copper atoms) and per second, seems to be independent of surface composition of alloy particles and 1,2-dichloroethane hydrodechlorination is insensitive to the atom's nature (silver or copper).

[more ▼] Pd-Ag/SiO2 and Pd-Cu/SiO2 xerogel catalysts have been synthesized by cogelation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and chelates of either Pd and Ag or Pd and Cu with 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyltrimethoxysilane (EDAS). After an extensive study of the influences of synthesis operating variables over structural characteristics of gels, highly dispersed bimetallic Pd-Ag/SiO2 and Pd-Cu/SiO2 xerogel catalysts were obtained. These samples are then composed of completely accessible Pd-Ag and Pd-Cu alloy crystallites with sizes of 2-3.5 nm located inside silica particles exhibiting a monodisperse microporous distribution. It appears also that the metal complex acts as a nucleation agent in the formation of silica particles. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 31 (6 ULg) |
