Study of the Reaction between Nitrogen Monoxide and Carbon Monoxide in the Presence of Double Metal Cyanides for the Potential Application as Emission Control Catalyst

在国家科学基金化学部化学催化项目的这一奖项下，耶什瓦大学的蒋建峰教授将研究一氧化碳和一氧化碳在双金属氰化物(DMC)存在下的反应，以期作为排放控制催化剂的潜在应用。拟议的研究将从探索合成第一排过渡金属氰化物/一氧化碳混合络合物开始，这些络合物也是基本感兴趣的。随后，将研究一氧化碳配位金属氰化物或DMC与一氧化氮/氮氧化物的反应性。该研究还将包括一氧化碳在二甲基甲烷存在下与一氧化碳的分析。这项研究之所以相关，是因为有可能制备新型的一氧化碳配位金属氰化物、新型的DMCs和高温稳定的一氧化碳配位聚合物，以及开发替代排放控制催化剂的潜力。例如，如果一氧化碳极大地加速了一氧化碳将一氧化碳/氮氧化物还原为二氧化氮的速度，那么这种碳酸二甲酯就可以用来代替催化转化器中的贵金属Rh、Pd和铂。此外，参与研究的本科生将受益于拥有第一手研究经验，致力于解决与我们的环境直接相关的问题，撰写手稿，并在正式报告中交流结果。

With this award from the Chemical Catalysis Program in the Chemistry Division at the National Science Foundation, Professor Jianfeng Jiang of Yeshiva University will study the reaction of nitrogen monoxide and carbon monoxide in the presence of double metal cyanides (DMC) for the potential application as emission control catalysts. The proposed study will start with the exploration of the synthesis of first row transition metal mixed cyanide/carbon monoxide complexes that are also of fundamental interest. Afterwards, studies of the reactivity of the carbon monoxide-coordinating metal cyanides or DMCs with nitrogen monoxide/dinitrogen monoxide will follow. The studies will also include analysis of nitrogen monoxide/dinitrogen monoxide with carbon monoxide in the presence of DMCs.This research is relevant because of the possibility of preparing new carbon monoxide-coordinating metal cyanides, new types of DMCs and high temperature stable carbon monoxide-coordinating polymers, and the potential for developing alternative emission control catalysts. For example, if the reduction of nitrogen monoxide/dinitrogen monoxide to dinitrogen by carbon monoxide is greatly accelerated by a DMC, this DMC can be used to replace precious rhodium, platinum and palladium metal inside catalytic converters. In addition, undergraduate students who participate in the research will benefit by having first-hand research experience, working on solving problems directly related to our environment, manuscript writing and communicating results in formal presentations.
