Download or read book Dynamics of Surfaces and Reaction Kinetics in Heterogeneous Catalysis written by G.F. Froment and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-09-03 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many processes of the chemical industry are based upon heterogeneous catalysis. Two important items of these processes are the development of the catalyst itself and the design and optimization of the reactor. Both aspects would benefit from rigorous and accurate kinetic modeling, based upon information on the working catalyst gained from classical steady state experimentation, but also from studies using surface science techniques, from quantum chemical calculations providing more insight into possible reaction pathways and from transient experimentation dealing with reactions and reactors. This information is seldom combined into a kinetic model and into a quantitative description of the process. Generally the catalytic aspects are dealt with by chemists and by physicists, while the chemical engineers are called upon for mechanical aspects of the reactor design and its control. The symposium "Dynamics of Surfaces and Reaction Kinetics in Heterogeneous Catalysis" aims at illustrating a more global and concerted approach through a number of prestigious keynote lectures and severely screened oral and poster presentations.

This book was released on 2013-09-18 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2007 awarded to Gerhard Ertl for his groundbreaking studies in surface chemistry highlighted the importance of heterogeneous catalysis not only for modern chemical industry but also for environmental protection. Heterogeneous catalysis is seen as one of the key technologies which could solve the challenges associated with the increasing diversification of raw materials and energy sources. It is the decisive step in most chemical industry processes, a major method of reducing pollutant emissions from mobile sources and is present in fuel cells to produce electricity. The increasing power of computers over the last decades has led to modeling and numerical simulation becoming valuable tools in heterogeneous catalysis. This book covers many aspects, from the state-of-the-art in modeling and simulations of heterogeneous catalytic reactions on a molecular level to heterogeneous catalytic reactions from an engineering perspective. This first book on the topic conveys expert knowledge from surface science to both chemists and engineers interested in heterogeneous catalysis. The well-known and international authors comprehensively present many aspects of the wide bridge between surface science and catalytic technologies, including DFT calculations, reaction dynamics on surfaces, Monte Carlo simulations, heterogeneous reaction rates, reactions in porous media, electro-catalytic reactions, technical reactors, and perspectives of chemical and automobile industry on modeling heterogeneous catalysis. The result is a one-stop reference for theoretical and physical chemists, catalysis researchers, materials scientists, chemical engineers, and chemists in industry who would like to broaden their horizon and get a substantial overview on the different aspects of modeling and simulation of heterogeneous catalytic reactions.

Download or read book Reaction Rate Theory and Rare Events written by Baron Peters and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-03-22 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reaction Rate Theory and Rare Events bridges the historical gap between these subjects because the increasingly multidisciplinary nature of scientific research often requires an understanding of both reaction rate theory and the theory of other rare events. The book discusses collision theory, transition state theory, RRKM theory, catalysis, diffusion limited kinetics, mean first passage times, Kramers theory, Grote-Hynes theory, transition path theory, non-adiabatic reactions, electron transfer, and topics from reaction network analysis. It is an essential reference for students, professors and scientists who use reaction rate theory or the theory of rare events. In addition, the book discusses transition state search algorithms, tunneling corrections, transmission coefficients, microkinetic models, kinetic Monte Carlo, transition path sampling, and importance sampling methods. The unified treatment in this book explains why chemical reactions and other rare events, while having many common theoretical foundations, often require very different computational modeling strategies. - Offers an integrated approach to all simulation theories and reaction network analysis, a unique approach not found elsewhere - Gives algorithms in pseudocode for using molecular simulation and computational chemistry methods in studies of rare events - Uses graphics and explicit examples to explain concepts - Includes problem sets developed and tested in a course range from pen-and-paper theoretical problems, to computational exercises

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY STUDIES OF SELECTED TRANSITION METALS CATALYZED C-C AND C-N BOND FORMATION REACTIONS submitted by Xufeng LIN for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in September 2007 This thesis presents theoretical investigations on selected transition metals catalyzed C-C and C-N bond formation reactions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to explore the potential energy surfaces of (1) alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling reactions catalyzed by nickel-trinitrogen ligand complexes, and (2) amidation of C-H bonds and alkene aziridinations catalyzed by rhodium and ruthenium complexes. In the first part three catalytic cycles were examined for Ni-catalyzed Negishi alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling with the ligand of 2,2'',6'',2''''-terpyridine (tpy). The catalytic cycle that involves a sequence of oxidative addition-reductive elimination- transmetalation with the actual catalyst of Ni(tpy)-CH or Ni(tpy)-I [Ni(I)] was found to be feasible, and this provide some new insight into the chemistry of metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The oxidative addition undergoes in a two-step radical pathway to produce a Ni(III) species, and the Ni(III) speices undergo reductive elimination to afford the alkyl-alkyl coupled product. Bulk solvation effect was considered in examination of this catalytic cycle. Cross-coupling reactions of both primary and secondary alkyl iodides in reactions with organozinc reagent were compared. Based on these results a Ni-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling reaction of a secondary alkyl bromide was investigated with the ligands of bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine (Pybox). Reductive elimination step was found to be irreversible and rate-determining in generating the coupled product. When Pybox is replaced (S)-(i-Pr)-Pybox with C symmetry, it was found that the racemic 1-bromoindane can be converted into the coupled product in S enantiomer with high enantioselectivity. This is accounted for higher free energy of activation needed for the reductive elimination step in generating the R enantiomer compared to the S enatiomer in the case of (S)-(i-Pr)-Pybox ligand. In the second part the intramolecular amidation of C-H bonds in carbamates and sulfonamate esters were examined with dirhodium tetracarboxylate [Rh(II)] as the catalyst. "Rh(II)-nitrene" complexes were found to be largely favorable in free energy compared to the staring materials or the "Rh(II)-phenyliodinane" complexes. The singlet and triplet states of a Rh(II)-nitrene complex are very close in energy, which was attributed to the π-π orbital interaction of nitrene and Rh. However, a singlet Rh(II)- nitrene undergoes C-H bond cleavage accompanied by N-H and C-N bond formation in a concerted pathway, whereas a triplet Rh(II)-nitrene undergoes C-H bond cleavage accompanied by only N-H formation to produce a biradical. A singlet pathway is favorable over its corresponding triplet pathway in free energy of activation. Rh(II)- catalyzed nitrene insertion into a C=C double bond in competition with insertion into a C-H bond was also examined with the unsaturated substrate of sulfonamate esters. Similar cases were found for the reaction systems in which intramolecular amidation of C-H bonds in the cyclohexane ring in a sulfamate ester is catalyzed by Ru-porphyrins. In all these catalytic systems, stereoselectiviti
