Extent-based Model Identification of Surface Catalytic Reaction Systems

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan, Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues

Identification of kinetic models and estimation of reaction and mass-transfer parameters is an important task for monitoring, control and optimization of industrial processes. A methodology called Extent-based Model Identification has been developed to sep ...

Size and Shape-controlled Pd Nanocrystals on ZnO and SiO2: When the Nature of the Support Determines the Active Phase

Lioubov Kiwi, Rocio Micaela Crespo Quesada

The structure sensitivity of acetylene hydrogenation was studied over size-controlled cubic and octahedral Pd nanocrystals (NCs) supported on ZnO and SiO2. Acetylene hydrogenation was found to be structure sensitive [with Pd(111) in octahedra being more ac ...

Copper Catalyzed N-Arylation of Amidines with Aryl Boronic Acids and One-Pot Synthesis of Benzimidazoles by a Chan–Lam–Evans N-Arylation and C–H Activation/C–N Bond Forming Process

Jieping Zhu

Mono-N-arylation of benzamidines 1 with aryl boronic acids 2 was effectively achieved in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cu(OAc)2 and NaOPiv under mild aerobic conditions. Combining this step with an intramolecular direct CH bond functionalization, c ...

Mass Spectrometric and Theoretical Study of Polyiodides: The Connection between Solid State, Solution, and Gas Phases

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei, Michael Groessl

Polyiodides have been transferred intact from acetonitrile solution to the gas phase and analyzed by mass spectrometry. A range of ions were observed, including I-11, I-13, and I-15, which have higher iodine/iodide ratios than any previously ...

Ultrafast Nonadiabatic Fragmentation Dynamics of Doubly Charged Uracil in a Gas Phase

Ivano Tavernelli, Pablo Lopez Tarifa

A combination of time-dependent density functional theory and Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics methods is used to investigate fragmentation of doubly charged gas-phase uracil in collisions with 100 keV protons. The results are in good agreement with ion ...

Metal Clusters on Surfaces

Michael Hugentobler

The morphology, stability and reactivity of nanometre-sized particles (Au, Pt) is investigated on three different supports. Gold nanoparticles with a diameter comprised between 4 and 6nm are stabilized in nanosized pits of well defined depth in highly orie ...

Compact reactor for continuous multi-phase reactions

Martin Grasemann

The objective of this thesis is the development of a compact reactor for continuous three-phase reactions in single-pass configurations. The design is based on a bubble column reactor staged with layers of catalytic material. To make the reactor suitable f ...

Novel catalytic applications of carbon nanofibers on sintered metal fibers filters as structured supports

Marina Ruta

Supported metal catalysts are important from both an industrial and a scientific point of view. They are used, amongst others, in large-scale processes such as catalytic reforming, hydrotreating, polymerization reactions and hydrogenations. Often, these ca ...

Reactivity and Catalytic Activity of a Robust Ruthenium(II)-Triphos Complex

Paul Joseph Dyson

The ruthenium(II)-triphos acetato complex [RuCl(OAc)(k3-triphos)] (triphos = (PPh2CH2)3CMe) has been found to be an active catalyst precursor for the hydrogenation of 1-alkenes under relatively mild conditions (5-50 bar H2, 50 °C). In contrast to related t ...

Three-Phase Catalytic Hydrogenation of a Functionalized Alkyne: Mass Transfer and Kinetic Studies with in Situ Hydrogen Monitoring

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Martin Grasemann

Systematic studies of mass transfer interactions with intrinsic reaction kinetics were performed for the threephase selective hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) to 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBE) over a modified Pd/CaC
