Li2Rh3B2 has been synthesized Lit 1000 degrees C from a stoichiometric mix of rhodium and boron and an excess of lithium. Li2Rh3B2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbam (no. 55, Z = 2) with room temperature lattice constants a = 5.7712(1) A, b = 9.4377(2) A, c = 2.8301(1) A and cell volume 154.149(6) A(3). The structure was solved from single crystal X-ray diffraction yielding the final R indices (all data) R1 = 2.8% and wR2 = 4.7%. The structure is a distortion of the CeCo3B2 structure type, containing a network of Rh6B trigonal prisms and short Li-Li contacts of 2.28(2) A. Li2Rh3B2 is a diamagnetic metal with a room temperature resistivity of 19 mu Omega cm, as determined by magnetic susceptibility and single crystal transport measurements. The measured diamagnetism and electronic structure calculations show that Li2Rh3B2 contains rhodium in a d(10) configuration. Published by Elsevier Inc.

core-shell, RhPt (1:1) alloy, and Rh + Pt monometallic nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using standard polyol reduction chemistry in ethylene glycol (EG) with standard inorganic salts and polyvinylpyrrolidine (PVP(55000)) stabilizers. PVP-free colloids were also prepared but less stable than the PVP-protected NPs. Rh@Pt core-shell particles were prepared from 2.7, 3.3, and 3.9 nm Rh cores with varying shell

show higher activity for CO 2 and propanal production. The electrochemical reduction of the strongly adsorbed intermediates on pure platinum and on the two bimetallic electrodes gave products with 1, 2, and 3 carbons, while the pure rhodium electrode produced only methane. The degree of coverage by the irreversibly adsorbed species is about ten times higher on platinum than on the bimetallic electrodes
使用原位傅里叶变换红外光谱和在线差分电化学质谱对不同成分的电沉积 Pt、Rh 和 PtRh 研究了正丙醇的吸附和反应。已经观察到双金属电极在低于 0.9 V 时比纯铂更活跃。纯铑电极实际上是不活跃的。产品收率的差异表明铂在丙酸形成方面比双金属电极更具活性,但双金属电极在 CO 2 和丙醛生产方面表现出更高的活性。纯铂和两个双金属电极上强吸附中间体的电化学还原产生具有 1、2 和 3 个碳的产物,而纯铑电极仅产生甲烷。

Platinum (Pt) and platinum–rhodium (PtRh) nanoparticles (NPs) are active catalysts for a range of important industrial reactions, and their response has been shown to be affected by size, morphology, composition, and architectural configuration. We report herein the engineering of these functionalities into NPs by suitably modifying our single‐step fabrication process by using microwave irradiation

Plating bath concentrations of Pt(IV) and Ir(III) have been optimized as well as the total catalytic loading of bimetallic Pt-Ir alloy for the electro-oxidation of ammonia in alkaline media at standard conditions. This was accomplished using cyclic voltammetry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM). energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and statistical optimization tools. Concentrations of Pt(IV) and Ir(III) of the plating bath strongly influence electrode surface atomic compositions of the Pt-Ir alloy directly affecting the electro-oxidation behavior of ammonia. Several anode materials were studied using cyclic voltammetry, which demonstrated that Pt-Ir was the most active catalyst for the electro-oxidation of ammonia. Criteria for optimization were minimizing the climatic oxidation overpotential for ammonia and maximizing the exchange current density. Optimized bath composition was found to be 8.844 +/- 0.001 g L-1 Pt(IV) and 4.112 +/- 0.001 g L-1 Ir(III) based on electrochemical techniques. Physical characterization of the electrodes by SEM indicates that the plating bath concentrations of Pt and Ir influence the growth and deposition behavior of the alloy. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

According to the results of powder X-ray diffraction study of the complex salts of composition [M(NH3)(5)Cl][M'Cl-4] (M = Ir, Rh, or Co and M' = Pt or Pd), the anhydrous salts crystallize in the orthorhombic system (space group Pnma) and are isostructural to the [Ir(NH3)(5)Cl][PtCl4] complex studied previously. The unit cell parameters of the resulting salts were refined. The metal powders, which were obtained by thermal decomposition of these salts under an atmosphere of hydrogen, were studied by powder X-ray analysis.
