Catalytic Chemistry of Heteropoly Compounds

Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter describes the essence of the catalytic chemistry of heteropoly compounds in solution and in the solid state. The catalytic properties of heteropoly compounds have drawn wide attention, owing to the versatility of these compounds as catalysts, which has been demonstrated both by successhl large-scale applications and by promising laboratory results. Heteropolyanions are polymeric oxoanions formed by condensation of more than two different mononuclear oxoanions. Heteropolyanions formed from one kind of polyanion are called isopolyanions. Acidic elements such as Mo, W, V, Nb and Ta, which are present as oxoanions in aqueous solution, tend to polymerize by dehydration at low pH, forming polyanions and water.Heteropoly catalysts can be applied in various ways. They are used as acid as well as oxidation catalysts. They are used in various phases, as homogeneous liquids, in two-phase liquids (in phase-transfer catalysis), and in liquid-solid and in gas-solid combinations, etc.

Heterogeneous catalysis by heteropoly compounds of molybdenum and tungsten

Abstract: Heteropolyanions are polymeric oxoanions which are formed by the condensation of more than two different oxoanions [Eq. (1)l. Polyanions consisting of one kind of oxoanion are called isopolyanions [Eq. (2)]. Acidic elements such as Mo, W, V, Nb, and Ta are present as oxoanions in aqueous solutions and polymerize to form polyanions at low pH. Free acids (or acid forms) of these species are called heteropoly and isopoly acids, respectively. Here, the term “heteropoly compounds” is used for heteropoly acids and their salts.

Advances in designing perovskite catalysts

Abstract: Recent advances in the basis for designing perovskite catalysts (ABO3, A: rare earths, B: transition metals of the first row) are reviewed. The main strategies of the catalyst design are; (1) selection of B-site elements which principally determine the catalytic activity, (2) valency and vacancy controls by selection of A-site elements including partial substitution, (3) synergistic effects of constituting elements, mainly B-site transition elements, (4) enhancement of surface area by forming fine particles or dispersing on supports, and (5) addition of precious metals with their appropriate regeneration to realize a high-performance automotive catalyst.

Molecular self-assembly and nanochemistry: A chemical strategy for the synthesis of nanostructures

Abstract: Molecular self-assembly is the spontaneous association of molecules under equilibrium conditions into stable, structurally well-defined aggregates joined by noncovalent bonds. Molecular self-assembly is ubiquitous in biological systems and underlies the formation of a wide variety of complex biological structures. Understanding self-assembly and the associated noncovalent interactions that connect complementary interacting molecular surfaces in biological aggregates is a central concern in structural biochemistry. Self-assembly is also emerging as a new strategy in chemical synthesis, with the potential of generating nonbiological structures with dimensions of 1 to 10(2) nanometers (with molecular weights of 10(4) to 10(10) daltons). Structures in the upper part of this range of sizes are presently inaccessible through chemical synthesis, and the ability to prepare them would open a route to structures comparable in size (and perhaps complementary in function) to those that can be prepared by microlithography and other techniques of microfabrication.
