  • reactivity of cyclopentadienyl Molybdenum Compounds towards formic acid structural characterization of cpmo pme3 co 2h cpmo pme3 2 co h cpmo μ o μ o2ch 2 and cp mo μ o μ o2ch 2
    Inorganic Chemistry, 2017
    Co-Authors: Michelle C Neary, Gerard Parkin
    Abstract:

    The molecular structures of CpMo(PMe3)(CO)2H and CpMo(PMe3)2(CO)H have been determined by X-ray diffraction, thereby revealing four-legged piano-stool structures in which the hydride ligand is trans to CO. However, in view of the different nature of the four basal ligands, the geometries of CpMo(PMe3)(CO)2H and CpMo(PMe3)2(CO)H deviate from that of an idealized four-legged piano stool, such that the two ligands that are orthogonal to the trans H–Mo–CO moiety are displaced towards the hydride ligand. While CpRMo(PMe3)3–x(CO)xH (CpR = Cp, Cp*; x = 1, 2, 3) are catalysts for the release of H2 from formic acid, the carbonyl derivatives, CpRMo(CO)3H, are also observed to form dinuclear formate Compounds, namely, [CpRMo(μ-O)(μ-O2CH)]2. The nature of the Mo···Mo interactions in [CpMo(μ-O)(μ-O2CH)]2 and [Cp*Mo(μ-O)(μ-O2CH)]2 have been addressed computationally. In this regard, the two highest occupied molecular orbitals of [CpMo(μ-O)(μ-O2CH)]2 correspond to metal-based δ* (HOMO) and σ (HOMO–1) orbitals. The σ2δ*2...

  • Electrocatalytic activity of some carburised nickel, tungsten and Molybdenum Compounds
    Electrochimica Acta, 1997
    Co-Authors: C.j. Barnett, G.t. Burstein, Anthony Kucernak, K.r. Williams
    Abstract:

    Carburisation of some Compounds of nickel, tungsten and Molybdenum produces powders which show considerable passivity in sulphuric acid at elevated temperature, and which also show some catalytic activity towards the electro-oxidation of methanol and of hydrogen. Of those materials examined, carburised nickel-tungsten, prepared by reduction of nickel tungstate, shows a wide potential range of passivity, and is electroactive towards the anodic oxidation of methanol. The corresponding nickel-Molybdenum material shows higher corrosion rates, and some electrocatalytic activity towards the anodic oxidation of hydrogen, but with little detectable catalysis of the methanol oxidation reaction. Reduced nickel and reduced iron on their own give high corrosion rates with no detectable electrocatalytic activity for fuel oxidation. Tungsten carbide on its own shows a high degree of passivity in sulphuric acid, but no electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation.
