Introducing copper as catalyst for oxidative alkane dehydrogenation

The dehydrogenation of n-hexane and cycloalkanes giving n-hexene and cycloalkenes has been observed in the reaction of such hydrocarbons with hydrogen peroxide, in the presence of copper complexes bearing trispyrazolylborate ligands. This catalytic transformation provides the typical oxidation products (alcohol and ketones) with small amounts of the alkenes, a novel feature in this kind of oxidative processes. Experimental data exclude the participation of hydroxyl radicals derived from Fenton-like reaction mechanisms. DFT studies support a copper-oxo active species, which initiates the reaction by H abstraction. Spin crossover from the triplet to the singlet state, which is required to recover the catalyst, yields the major hydroxylation and minor dehydrogenation products. Further calculations suggested that the superoxo and hydroperoxo species are less reactive than the oxo. A complete mechanistic proposal in agreement with all experimental and computational data is proposed.

Photocatalytic degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in GaN:ZnO solid solution-assisted process: Direct hole oxidation mechanism

GaN:ZnO exhibits excellent activity for the photodegradation of PAHs, and the activity can be obviously improved by loading Pt. The degradation of PAHs in the system of GaN:ZnO is induced by the formation of holes. The holes generated then interact with PAHs to produce PAHs+, which is active enough to react with O2.
