Catalysis

26.9K
The presence of a catalyst affects the rate of a chemical reaction. A catalyst is a substance that can increase the reaction rate without being consumed during the process. A basic comprehension of a catalysts’ role during chemical reactions can be understood from the concept of reaction mechanisms and energy diagrams.

Oxidative Cleavage of Alkenes: Ozonolysis01:46

Oxidative Cleavage of Alkenes: Ozonolysis

10.3K
In ozonolysis, ozone is used to cleave a carbon–carbon double bond to form aldehydes and ketones, or carboxylic acids, depending on the work-up.
Ozone is a symmetrical bent molecule stabilized by a resonance structure.

Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Osmium Tetraoxide02:44

Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Osmium Tetraoxide

10.1K
Alkenes are converted to 1,2-diols or glycols through a process called dihydroxylation. It involves the addition of two hydroxyl groups across the double bond with two different stereochemical approaches, namely anti and syn. Dihydroxylation using osmium tetroxide progresses with syn stereochemistry.

Phase I Reactions: Oxidation of Carbon-Heteroatom and Miscellaneous Systems

91
Oxidative reactions are pivotal in metabolizing numerous compounds, including pharmaceutical drugs. These reactions often occur in carbon-heteroatom systems, such as carbon-nitrogen, carbon-sulfur, and carbon-oxygen.
In carbon-nitrogen systems, aliphatic and aromatic amines can undergo oxidative reactions. Secondary and tertiary amines, like those found in tricyclic antidepressants, can undergo N-dealkylation, a process that involves the oxidation of the alkyl group. In addition, oxidative...

Summary

This study reveals that kinked platinum surfaces enhance both carbon monoxide (CO) adsorption and oxygen (O2) saturation, influencing the CO oxidation reaction stages. Kinked sites show higher CO uptake and O2 coverage, impacting reaction kinetics.

Area of Science:

  • Surface Science
  • Catalysis
  • Materials Chemistry

Background:

  • The CO oxidation reaction on platinum surfaces is crucial for catalysis.
  • Understanding the role of specific atomic sites like kinks is essential for optimizing catalyst performance.
  • Kinked facets of platinum are less understood compared to flat surfaces in catalytic reactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the chemical interactions of carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O2) with kink atoms on platinum crystal surfaces.
  • To describe the CO-covered/poisoned and O-covered/active stages of CO oxidation at kinked Pt facets.
  • To quantify CO and O2 saturation levels at different surface sites using a specially designed curved Pt sample.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a specially designed curved platinum (Pt) sample for systematic surface analysis.
  • Employed high-resolution X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) to identify and quantify surface species.
  • Probed CO uptake/saturation and O2 saturation to characterize reaction stages.

Main Results:

  • Observed preferential CO adsorption at step edges on kinked surfaces, with coverage reaching one CO molecule per step Pt atom.
  • Found significantly higher O2 coverage on kinked planes compared to the flat Pt(111) surface.
  • Identified a smooth structural and chemical variation across different crystal planes on the curved Pt sample.

Conclusions:

  • Strong CO adsorption at kinked edges suggests a higher ignition temperature for CO oxidation at these sites.
  • Increased O2 coverage at kinked steps indicates enhanced reactivity during the active stage of CO oxidation.
  • Kinked platinum surfaces exhibit distinct chemical behavior influencing CO oxidation kinetics.
