Zeolite Activation Of Organometallics: Revisiting Substitution Kinetics Of [Mo(Co)6] With Chemisorbed Pme3 In Dehydrated Na56Y Zeolite, Anthony L. Fernandez, Jianbin Hao, Roberta L. Parkes, Anthony J. Poë, Eduardo J.S. Vichi Jan 2008

Zeolite Activation Of Organometallics: Revisiting Substitution Kinetics Of [Mo(Co)6] With Chemisorbed Pme3 In Dehydrated Na56Y Zeolite, Anthony L. Fernandez, Jianbin Hao, Roberta L. Parkes, Anthony J. Poë, Eduardo J.S. Vichi

Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Publications

Reactions of [Mo(CO)6] under vacuum in α-cages of Na56Y zeolite fully loaded with chemisorbed PMe3 form cis-[Mo(CO)4(PMe3)2] but mixtures of [Mo(CO)5(PMe3)] and cis-[Mo(CO)4(PMe3)2] are formed under CO. Reactions under vacuum exhibit low enthalpic and very negative entropic factors (ΔH = 71.4 ± 3.5 kJ mol-1 and ΔS = -102 ± 11 J K-1 mol-1) compared with much higher enthalpic and positive entropic factors for CO dissociative reactions with P(n-Bu) …

Photochemistry And Pinhole Photography: An Interdisciplinary Experiment, Angeliki A. Rigos, Kevin Salemme

Visual & Performing Arts Faculty Publications

This interdisciplinary activity combines chemistry and art through the construction and use of a pinhole camera. We focused on the chemistry of the black and white photographic process as the science component of this activity. The reactions involved are good examples of photochemistry and multiphase chemical reactions, since the light sensitive materials (silver halides) are in the form of a gelatin emulsion of microscopic crystals.
