TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption and coadsorption of NH3, NO, and O2, in conjunction with in situ FT-IR spectroscopy, was used to elucidate the reaction mechanism as the samples were heated from 323 to 673 K.
Abstract: TiO2-supported transition metal oxides (Mn, Cr, and Cu) for the SCR of NO with NH3 have been synthesized by wet impregnation. The adsorption and coadsorption of NH3, NO, and O2, in conjunction with in situ FT-IR spectroscopy, was used to elucidate the reaction mechanism as the samples were heated from 323 to 673 K. While Cr was the only transition metal that generated significant amounts of Bronsted acidity, strong Lewis acid sites were present over all of the materials. The peak strength corresponding to the δs(NH3) coordinated to Lewis acid sites decreased in the following order: Ti > Mn > Cr ∼ Cu. Similarly, the peak strength corresponding to the δas(NH3) coordinated to Lewis acid sites decreased as follows: Mn > Cr ∼ Cu. Exposing the catalysts to oxygen before the introduction of NO did not impact the adsorption of NO as nitrates on the catalysts, suggesting that labile lattice oxygen plays an important role in the formation of nitrates. Three types of nitrates were observed after the adsorption of ...

TL;DR: The balance of ADP and oxygen control in vivo is amply demonstrated experimentally and is dependent on the oxygen concentration, and the affinity constants for ADP control appear to be less dependent upon substrate supplied to the system.
Abstract: This paper considers the way in which the oxygen reaction described by Dr. Nicholls and the ADP control reactions described by Dr. Racker could cooperate to establish a purposeful metabolic control phenomenon in vivo. This has required an examination of the kinetic properties of the respiratory chain with particular reference to methods for determinations of oxygen affinity (Km). The constant parameter for tissue respiration is k1, the velocity constant for the reaction of oxygen with cytochrome oxidase. Not only is this quantity a constant for a particular tissue or mitochondria; it appears to vary little over a wide range of biological material, and for practical purposes a value of 5 x 107 at 25° close to our original value (20) is found to apply with adequate accuracy for calculation of Km for mammalia. The quantity which will depend upon the tissue and its metabolic state is the value of Km itself, and Km may be as large as 0.5 µM and may fall to 0.05 µM or less in resting, controlled, or inhibited states. The control characteristic for ADP may depend upon the electron flux due to the cytochrome chain (40); less ADP is required to activate the slower electron transport at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures. The affinity constants for ADP control appear to be less dependent upon substrate supplied to the system. The balance of ADP and oxygen control in vivo is amply demonstrated experimentally and is dependent on the oxygen concentration as follows. In the presence of excess oxygen, control may be due to the ADP or phosphate (or substrate), and the kinetics of oxygen utilization will be independent of the oxygen concentration. As the oxygen concentration is diminished, hemoglobin becomes disoxygenated, deep gradients of oxygen concentration develop in the tissue, and eventually cytochrome oxidase becomes partially and then completely reduced. DPN at this point will become reduced and the electron flow diminished. The rate of ATP production falls and energy conservation previously under the control of the ADP concentration will now be controlled by the diffusion of oxygen to the respiratory enzymes in the mitochondria. Under these conditions the rate of reaction of cytochrome oxidase with oxygen and the reaction of cytochromes with one another become of key importance. The rise of ADP and the depletion of energy reserves evoke glycolytic activity, and failure of biological function may result.

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of different oxidized Pt surface species previously indicated by TPR studies was confirmed by characteristic uv-vis spectra, which were used as the basis for a model describing the types of surface reactions and details of the platinum surface species formed in oxygen and in hydrogen.
