In situ surface analysis of palladium-platinum alloys in methane oxidation conditions
Palladium and palladium-platinum foils were analysed using temperature-programmed near-ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (TP-NAP-XPS) under methane oxidation conditions. Oxidation of palladium is inhibited by the presence of water, and in oxygen-poor environments. Pt addition further inhibits oxidation of palladium across all reaction conditions, preserving metallic palladium to higher temperatures. Bimetallic foils underwent significant restructuring under reaction conditions, with platinum preferentially migrating to the bulk under select conditions

Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural, with a tetrahedrally-connected framework topology related to, but different from, that of tridymite (lonsdaleite). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis showed that in compound 1 (Pccn, Z = 8; a = 8.462(8) Å, b = 14.549(15) Å, c = 18.799(18) Å, V = 2314(4) Å3) there is rotational disorder for two of the three crystallographically-distinct linker types, which has been investigated computationally and by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Detailed adsorption studies on a sample of 1 prepared by recrystallisation show 1.1 mmol g-1 uptake of CO2 at 0.1 bar (25 °C) with high affinity for CO2 over CH4 and N2 (adsorption enthalpies of 39.5, 26.0 and 18.5 kJ mol-1, respectively). A cobalt analogue (compound 2 ) with improved water stability (but lower porosity) has also been prepared. Changing the conditions of synthesis and recrystallisation gives rise to a cobalt 2-nitroimidazolate (Co(2-nIm)2, compound 3 ), which has a layered structure (I41/amd, a = 6.025(18) Å, c = 26.95(8) Å, V = 978.3(5) Å3) containing sheets of tetrahedrally-connected Co2+ cations composed of four membered rings, without porosity.PostprintPostprintPeer reviewe
