Abstract:
Novel Pt-Cr/Zr(x)-HMS catalysts with different molar ratios of Cr/Zr were synthesized. These catalysts were characterized by necessary techniques including XRD, XRF, NH3-TPD, FTIR, H2 chemisorption, nitrogen sorption and TGA. Moreover, generalization performances of an optimized in-house regularization network and an RSM were compared for the prediction of activity and selectivity versus various molar ratios, feed temperatures and time on stream. The results indicated that the incorporation of Cr promotes the catalyst activity, in which a high amount of 63% conversion was obtained at Cr/Zr = 30 and T = 200 °C. Increasing temperature has an adverse effect on i-C7 and mono plus multi-branch isomer selectivity nearly in all amounts of molar ratios. The best i-C7 selectivity (66%), MOB (29.6%) and MUB (32%) were observed at 200 °C and Cr/Zr = 30. Although both modeling methods exhibited outstanding performances, statistical analysis revealed that optimized RN has slightly better performances than RSM.

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn...

Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
