Multinuclear Solid State NMR Investigations of Interest to Surface Chemistry

这个项目是在分析和表面化学领域和在表面化学的子领域。Ellis教授将使用多核固态核磁共振波谱法研究金属表面的吸附物。本研究将利用碳13和氘同位素的核磁共振波谱来研究烯烃吸附在催化感兴趣的固体表面上的分子结构和运动。其他感兴趣的体系包括碱金属离子和过渡金属对氧化铝的影响以及钴促进剂对加氢脱硫催化剂的影响。从这个项目中获得的结果将有助于理解在金属支撑的非均相催化表面上发生的化学转化。

This project is in the area of Analytical and Surface Chemistry and in the subfield of surface chemistry. Professor Ellis will study adsorbates on metal surfaces using multinuclear solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This research will use nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the isotopes carbon thirteen and deuterium to study the molecular structure and motions of olefins adsorbed on solid surfaces of catalytic interest. Other systems of interest include alkali metal ions and transition metals on alumina and effects of cobalt promoters on hydrodesulfidization catalysts. The results obtained from this project will be useful in understanding chemical transformations that occur on metal supported heterogeneous catalytic surfaces.
