Physico-chemical and catalytic properties of two series of catalysts comprising magnesia and sodium were determined. The first (I) series of catalysts was prepared by doping magnesia with varying amounts of NaOH. The second (11) series of catalysts was obtained by evaporating metallic sodium onto MgO preparations precalcined at different temperatures.The concentration and strengths of basic and acid sites, as well as the amounts of one-electron donor and one-electron acceptor sites, were measured, and the specific surface areas of the catalysts determined. Catalytic activity in isomerization of pent-1-ene, tram-pent-2-ene and the conversion of cumene was studied. It was concluded that the (11) series of catalysts displayed remarkably strong basic and one-electron donor properties. Also, it was proved that basic sites coexist on the surfaces of catalysts with the one-electron donor sites. Catalytic activity in alkene isomerization and cumene dehydrogenation was unambiguously associated with the presence of well-defined surface active sites.
The explicit forms of the broken (by a electric field E, magnetic field H and spatial dispersion of wave vector k) point symmetry groups of a crystal are given. For these groups the dielectric permeability tensors: εij (ω, E), éij (ω, H) and εi j (ω, k) -the particular cases of eij (ω, E, H, k) -are written out (the susceptibility tensors x,, (ω, E), χij (ω, H) and χij (ω, k) take the same forms). In order to illustrate the results obtained the electrooptical phenomena (connected with the tensors (ω, E)) are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
