The CO oxidation reaction on the Pd(111) model catalyst
at various
temperatures (200–400 °C) under hundreds mTorr pressure
conditions has been monitored by in situ ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy. In situ observation of the reaction
revealed that the Pd(111) surface is covered by CO molecules at a
lower temperature (200 °C), while at higher temperatures (300–400
°C) several oxide phases are formed on the surface. We found
that the reactivity is enhanced in the presence of a surface oxide
and significantly suppressed by formation of a cluster oxide and the
PdO bulk oxide. CO titration experiments suggest that less coordinated
oxygen atoms are more reactive for CO oxidation.
Catalytic CO oxidation reaction on a Pd(100) single-crystal surface under several hundred mTorr pressure conditions has been studied by ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy. In-situ observation of the reaction reveals that two reaction pathways switch over alternatively depending on the surface temperature. At lower temperatures, the Pd(100) surface is covered by CO molecules and the CO2 formation rate is low, indicating CO poisoning. At higher temperatures above 190 °C, an O-Pd-O trilayer surface oxide phase is formed on the surface and the CO2 formation rate drastically increases. It is likely that the enhanced rate of CO2 formation is associated with an active oxygen species that is located at the surface of the trilayer oxide.
We investigated the high-density CO adsorption phase formed on a Pt(111) surface when exposed to CO gas of pressure ranging from UHV to 100 mTorr using near-ambient-pressure (NAP)-XPS. Combined results from the NAP-XPS measurements and DFT calculations reveal the adsorption structure of CO molecules in the dense CO overlayer, which is stable under realistic conditions.
CO oxidation reaction on a Pd(110)
single crystal surface at various
temperatures under near-ambient-pressure conditions has been investigated
using in situ X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy.
At lower temperature conditions, the CO2 formation rate
is low, where the surface is covered by CO molecules (i.e., CO poisoning).
Above a critical temperature 165 °C the Pd(110) surface converts
to a catalytically active surface and is dominated by chemisorbed
oxygen species. Further at the higher temperatures up to 320 °C,
the CO2 formation rate is gradually decreased to about
80% of the maximum rate. At this moment, the amount of chemisorbed
O was also decreased, which suggests that the CO oxidation reaction
proceeds via the conventional Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism
even under near-ambient pressure conditions.
A stereoselective total synthesis of (-)-Renieramycin T (1t) from a key tetrahydroisoquinoline intermediate previously utilized in our formal total synthesis of Ecteinascidin 743 is described. The synthesis features a concise approach for construction of the pentacyclic framework using a Pictet-Spengler cyclization of bromo-substituted carbinolamine 17, which obviates the regioselectivity problem of the Pictet-Spengler cyclization. The results of cytotoxicity studies are also presented.
a b s t r a c tUtilizing ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS), the surface segregation and oxidation of Pt 3 Ni(1 1 1) alloys are investigated as a function of temperature and oxygen pressure. The in situ AP-XPS measurements of oxygen oxidation process show that the Pt "skin" surface is not stable under the exposure of oxygen pressure of 100 mTorr at room temperature. As the temperature and pressure are elevated, the formations of Ni 2 O 3 , NiO x , and NiO are observed on surface while Pt atom starts to reduce its adsorbed oxygen, which is a clear sign of surface segregation of Ni to surface. Upon the evacuation of oxygen gas, i.e. ultrahigh vacuum condition, both of NiO x and NiO oxide get reduced and Ni 2 O 3 remains on the surface. The DFT calculation is employed to explain the formation of surface oxides under oxidation condition.
