Development of new catalytic reactions by materials design and kinetics measurements

首先合成了Co(OH)3，并用SEM、TEM和XRD对其进行了表征。使用不同类型的表面活性剂和有机溶剂可以控制Co3O4纳米晶的形状。用一氧化碳氧化物和氢氧化物催化邻苯二胺和苯甲醛制取苯并咪唑。采用EXAFS、TEM和XPS对铜、铂、金和加氢脱硫催化剂进行了表征，得到了反应性与结构的相关信息。含钯固定化离子液体催化剂是羰基化反应和羰基化铃木偶联反应的有效可重复使用催化剂。

Co(OH)3 was synthesized first and characterized with SEM, TEM and XRD. Shape of nanocrystals of Co3O4 can be controlled by using different types of surfactants and organic solvents. Co oxides and hydroxides were used to catalyze o-phenylenediamine and benzaldehyde to yield benzimidazole. Copper, platinum, gold and hydrodesulfurization catalysts were characterized by EXAFS, TEM and XPS, giving the information of correlation between reactivity and structure. Pd containing immobilized ionic liquid catalyst was found to be effective and reusable catalyst for carbonylation reactions and carbonylative Suzuki coupling reactions.
