Direct Homogeneous Synthesis of Compounds with Two O Atoms and Long-Chain Hydrocarbons from CO and H: Co-Ru/N-methylpyrrolidone Catalyst.

The homogeneous acetic acid synthesis-type Ru-Co-Li/N-methylpyrrolidone catalyst for CO and H transformations has been studied at moderately high pressures. For 1CO:2H, low acetic acid selectivity has been observed, along with remarkable methyl acetate selectivity, the absence of aldehydes and ethyl acetate and sharp deviations from the Anderson-Schultz-Flory distribution for both alcaohols and long-chain hydrocarbons. For 1CO:1H and slightly elevated pressure, acetic acid selectivity slightly increased, notable ethyl acetate formation was detected, and both long-chain hydrocarbons and alcohols disappeared.

Catalytic Design of Matrix-Isolated Ni-Polymer Composites for Methane Catalytic Decomposition.

Targeted synthesis of C/composite Ni-based material was carried out by the method of matrix isolation. The composite was formed with regard to the features of the reaction of catalytic decomposition of methane. The morphology and physicochemical properties of these materials have been characterized using a number of methods: elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, temperature programmed reduction (TPR-H), specific surface areas (SSA), thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry (TGA/DSC).
