Selected AbstractsCharacterization of the active site structure of Pd and Pd-promoted Mo sulfide catalysts by means of XAFSJOURNAL OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION, Issue 2 2001Takeshi Kubota Recently, noble metal catalysts are noted as promising candidates for new super-deep-hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts. In this study, we investigated the structure of Pd particles supported on zeolite and Al2O3 under a sulfidation or reduction condition. From EXAFS analysis, it was found for sulfided Pd catalysts that small Pd sulfide clusters are formed without sintering. It was also revealed that no extensive growth of metal Pd particles occurs in Pd/NaY sulfide catalysts even after a treatment with H2 at 673 K. The dispersion of Pd metal particles is improved by H2/H2S treatment. These results indicate that in the presence of H2S, Pd shows high resistance against particle growth. A comparison of the Mo and Pd K-edge EXAFS spectra for MoSx/Pd-NaY and Pd-NaY catalysts revealed the existence of Mo-Pd bondings by the addition of Mo sulfide, indicating a direct interaction between Mo and Pd sulfides. [source] Optical in-situ study of the oxidation and reduction kinetics of Yb-substituted YAG epitaxial filmsPHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (C) - CURRENT TOPICS IN SOLID STATE PHYSICS, Issue 1 2005N. V. Martynyuk Abstract The optical spectra of the Yb-substituted Yb3Al5O12 (YAG) epitaxial films and the Yb ions recharging kinetics have been investigated by means of in-situ optical spectroscopy in the temperature range between 900 and 1100 °C at oxidation and reduction condition. This work continues the studies of the spectral properties of Yb:YAG epitaxial films represented in [1] and optical in-situ study of the re-oxidation kinetics of Yb3Al5O12 (YbAG) crystal represented in [2] where the model of internal oxidation of ytterbium ions Yb2+ , Yb3+ in the bulk crystal was developed and proofed. The changes of the absorption spectra of Yb:YAG film during oxidation and reduction were attributed to the recharging process Yb3+ , Yb2+. It was found that the oxidation kinetics in epitaxial films do not agree to the model [2] and do not follow a parabolic rate law in contrary to bulk YbAG single crystal.

In the case of m -tyrosine derivative 5a, selective protection with bromine prevented the formation of undesired regioisomers. Debromination of target compounds 13 was readily achieved under radical reduction conditions by using Bu3SnH/AIBN. Tetrahydroisoquinolines 13 and 14 were isolated as single diastereomers whose trans configuration was confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Partial epimerization of trans - 13i and trans - 21 to the corresponding cis diastereomers was achieved under basic conditions. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The protein is activated by phosphorylation at multiple sites and subsequently phosphorylates and activates eNOS. Free cysteine residues of the protein may capture reactive, endogenously produced nitric oxide (NO) as S -nitrosothiols. Site-specific detection of S -nitrosylated cysteine residues, usually at low stoichiometry, has been a major challenge in proteomic research largely due to the lack of mass marker for S -nitrosothiols that are very labile under physiologic conditions. In this report we describe a sensitive and specific MS method for detection of S -nitrosothiols in PKB ,/Akt1 in rat soleus muscle. PKB ,/Akt1 was isolated by immunoprecipitation and 2D-gel electrophoresis, subjected to in-gel tryptic digestion, and cysteinyl nitrosothiols were reacted with iodoacetic acids [2-C12/C13 = 50/50] under ascorbate reduction conditions. This resulted in the production of relatively stable carboxymethylcysteine (CMC) immonium ions (m/z 134.019 and m/z 135.019) within a narrow argon collision energy (CE = 30 ± 5 V) in the high MS noise region. In addition, free and disulfide-linked cysteine residues were converted to carboxyamidomethylcysteines (CAM). Tryptic S -nitrosylated parent ion was detected with a mass accuracy of 50 mDa for the two CMC immonium ions at the triggered elution time during capillary liquid chromatography (LC) separation. A peptide containing Cys296 was discriminated from four co-eluting tryptic peptides under lock mass conditions (m/z 785.8426). S -nitrosothiol in the tryptic peptide, ITDFGLBKEGIK (B: CAM, [M + 2H]2+ = 690.86, Found: 690.83), is believed to be present at a very low level, since the threshold for the CMC immonium trigger ions was set at 3 counts/s in the MS survey. The high levels of NO that are produced under stress conditions may result in increased S -nitrosylation of Cys296 which blocks disulfide bond formation between Cys296 and Cys310 and suppresses the biological effects of PKB ,/Akt1. With the procedures developed here, this process can be studied under physiological and pathological conditions. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

[source] Study on surface morphology and selectivity of precipitated iron catalysts of FTSASIA-PACIFIC JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, Issue 5 2009Wang Xingjun Abstract The precipitated iron catalyst was prepared by co-precipitation. The surface morphology of the catalyst was investigated under different reduction conditions by SEM (S-250, USA). Under H2 -reduction, the surface morphology of the catalyst had the obvious changes, which the diameter reduced, adhered together, came into being wads considered as a group. But the surface morphology of the catalyst had almost no change under CO reduction. The crystal structure of the catalyst was studied under different reduction conditions by X-ray diffraction (XRD) (Rigaku D/max, Japanese). It was found that the catalyst was reduced completely with H2, but it was reduced partly with CO. The crystal structure of the catalyst converted into the metallic phase with H2 reduction. However, most of the iron converted into iron oxide (Fe3O4) with CO reduction. And the predominant phase in a sample of a mature catalyst is ,-Fe5C2, which is the active phase in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). The experimental results showed that CO conversion and H2 conversion increase with the change of reaction temperature from 260 to 300 °C, under the conditions of pressure P = 2.6 MPa, space velocity = 0.86 Nl h,1 g-Fe,1, n(H2)/n(CO) = 2/3, and most of the hydrocarbon products are C5,11 which hold half of the hydrocarbon products. The next content is C2,4 which holds the quarter of hydrocarbon products. Then it is C12+, which is equal to 18%. And the last is C1, which is equal to 7%.
