Short communication: Infrared study of the adsorption of NO, CO and NO + CO on α-Fe2O3

Written by sctunisie no comments

An infrared spectroscopic study of the adsorption of NO, CO and NO + CO on α-Fe2O3 was carried out in order to identify chemisorbed species and discuss adsorption sites. Stable nitrate species are formed on the surface at beam temperature (b.t.) when NO is adsorbed. Depending on the pressure, NO adsorbs at b.t. also to form Fe3+ (NO) species. Only a weakly adsorbed species, coordinated with a cationic sites to form different types of carbonates is observed at high temperature adsorption (473 - 523 K). In the presence of NO + CO mixture, stable nitrate ions are formed when temperature is increased from b.t. to 423 K. At higher temperature (473 - 523), NO and CO mainly chemisorb as nitrates and carbonates in to an adsorption of NO on partially reduced cationic sites : Fe(3-δ)+(NO); Fe2+(NO).

Review: Solar energy conversion and photoelectrochemical cells

Written by sctunisie no comments

In recent years, many types of systems which enable the conversion of solar energy into electrical or chemical energy have been proposed. This work is a review of the electrochemical cells proposed in literature. For comparison, some results of photovoltaic cells are cited.

Addition 1,3-dipolaire du diazo - 2 propane sur des acétyléniques monoactivés dissymétriques et évolution photochimique des dimétyl-3,3 pyrazolénines formées

Written by sctunisie no comments

The synthesis of pyrazolenines derived from dissymetric monoactivated acetylenics of which the second substituant is n-alkyl has been realized stoechiometrically. This result was obtained by addition 1,3-dipolar of diazo-2 propane to the starting acetylenics. In the same way, all the photolysies of the mono-activated pyrazolenines have enabled us to get exclusively the expected mono-activated gemdimethylcyclopropene.

Aspects stéréochimiques du réarrangement de Cope de monoesters d'hexadiènes-1,5

Written by sctunisie no comments

The Z/E olefinic bond ration of enol ethers obtained by Oxy-Cope rearrangement of hetero-substituted 1,5-hexadienes reveals that the reaction is not governed by the free energy change for the conversion of a substituent from the equatorial to the axial position in the chair transition state but rather by the relative thermodynamic stability of the isomers Z and E.

Influence de la composition du mélange réactionnel C3H6-O2 sur le comportement des catalyseurs Sn-Sb-O -

Written by sctunisie no comments

The oxidation of propylene over the Tin-Antimony oxide catalysts has been proved to be sensitive to the composition of the reactional mixture. This composition affects the stability of the catalyser during the reaction and the fonctionning of its busy centres.

The Raman spectra of di and trimethylammonium hexachlorostannate crystals

Written by sctunisie no comments

The low frequency Raman Spectra (0 - 350 cm-1) of [(CH3)2 NH2]2 Sn Cl6 (2MHS) and [(CH3)3 NH]2 Sn Cl6 (3MHS) were recorded on single crystals at room temperature. The Spectra have been assigned on the basis of group theory analysis of vibrations and in view of the previously reported structural data of these two hexachlorostannate compouds. Their corresponding structures are derived from the Fm3m antifluorite structure.
