Conventional simultaneous thermal analysis, capillary-coupled TGMS, in situ and ex situ Raman and Mössbauer spectroscopy, as well as chemical analysis have been used for the investigation of the first decomposition step of the mixed valence chloroferrate (dmpipzH2)6[Fe(II)Cl4]2[Fe(III)Cl4]2[Fe(II)Cl5][Fe(III)Cl6]. Under argon at ca. 200°C, an almost complete reduction proceeds in a solid state reaction forming Fe(II). It is accompanied by the release of HCl and, to a minor degree, carbon containing species. A multi-phase product with at least two chloroferrate species, coke, and C,H,N-containing polymers is formed. Binuclear iron complexes, such as (dmpipzH)2[Fe(II)2Cl6], and small amounts of (dmpipzH)[Fe(III)Cl4] have been proposed to be the major and minor component of the product mixture, respectively.
The 57Fe-Moessbauer spectrum of (dmpipzH2)2[FeIII(H2O)2Cl4][FeIII Cl4]Cl2 (1) consists of two doublets caused by a strongly distorted octahedral and a non-distorted tetrahedral component. Both (dmpipzH2)[FeIIIBr4]2 (2) and (trienH2)[FeIIIBr4]Br (3) show only one doublet indicating a more strongly distorted iron(III) species for 2 and a less-distorted one in the case of 3. For all compounds investigated, the ESR spectra reveal the existence of ground states with predominant antiferromagnetic coupling. The Néel temperatures amount to <4.2 K for 1, 4 K for 3 and 48 K for 2. In the case of 2, both the Moessbauer and the ESR spectra reveal the formation of exchange-coupled {FeBr4} units which has been attributed to a significant cation influence. The fine structure of residual paramagnetic [FeBr4]- subunits remaining in the crystalline matrix could be directly determined. Temperature dependent AC and DC susceptibility measurements of 2 and 3 confirmed the results.
A model regarding the generation of acidity in binary metal fluorides has been proposed and its validity has been examined for several binary fluoride systems with the general compositions MF3/M'F3 and MF2/M'F3. In accordance with this hypothesis, the binary systems (CrF3/AlF3, CrF3/FeF3 and AlF3/VF3) do not show acidities larger than the sum of the acidities of the component fluorides. The hypothesis predicts the generation of Lewis acidity when MF2 is the major component (host) and generation of Brønsted acidity when MF3 acts as the host for the MF2/M'F3. The experimental results (surface acidity and catalytic activity) confirmed the predictions made from this hypothesis for binary combinations MgF2/ M'F3 (M'=Cr, Al, Fe, V). The application of this model is discussed in terms of other parameters: ionic radii and the fluoride affinity of the metal fluorides involved.
The dismutation of CHClF2 to CHF3 and CHCl3 was used to probe the effect of γ-Al2O3 fluorination on fluorine-against-chlorine (Cl/F) exchange reactions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray excited Auger electron spectroscopy (XAES) and X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy were employed to probe the modifications at the surface of γ-Al2O3 accompanying the initial stages of fluorination. The results suggest that fluorine uptake by γ-Al2O3 starts initially at the surface of the oxide particles, with the formation of a fluorine species that is characterised by a single bond and a high effective charge q. Catalytic Cl/F-exchange is only observed after accumulation of higher fluorine concentrations, for which insertion of fluorine into the sub-surface region of the oxide crystallites has commenced. Quantitative XPS shows that the fluorination level must exceed approximately 10 atom% of the anions to achieve catalytic activity. The spectroscopic evidence suggests that the formation of aluminium oxofluorides is sufficient to provide catalytic activity. The presence of an AlF3 phase is not a condition for the observation of catalytic activity, even though defect-rich AlF3 is ultimately the endpoint of the fluorination process and is itself a Cl/F exchange catalyst.
Highly dispersed vanadium-doped metal oxides such as VOx/ZrO2, VOx/SiO2 and VOx/TiO2/SiO2 with vanadium contents between 0 and 25 mole% were prepared by special bulk preparation methods (coprecipitation and solgel, followed by freeze-drying). Bulk and surface properties of the obtained mixed oxide solid solutions were thoroughly investigated by different analytical methods (Raman and FTIR spectroscopy, TPD, H2-TPR, oxygen isotope measurements etc.). Moreover, the catalytic behaviour of the oxides was studied for the example of the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane to propylene. Independent of the preparation method, the catalytic behaviour of vanadium-doped ZrO2 and TiO2 phases is very similar. Both metal oxide solid solutions are very active in propane ODH whereas the catalytic activity of VOx/SiO2 is relatively low. On the other hand, the reduction of the catalytic activity is accompanied by an improved selectivity for the formation of propylene. The correlation between the catalytic activity and the acidity of the oxide systems is discussed. Oxidation experiments with 18O2 clearly show that the ODH reaction occurs according to the Marsvan Krevelen mechanism.
Static TOF-SIMS results strongly underpin earlier conclusions from ESCA, XANES, and tracer studies that the accumulation of fluorine and chlorine at the surface of chromia by a heterogeneous reaction with a chlorofluorocarbon compound results in the formation of mixed chromium oxide halide species and not in the nucleation of CrCl3 and/or CrF3 phases.
