The Surface Chemistry of Propylene, 1-Iodopropane, and 1,3-Diiodopropane on MoAl Alloy Thin Films Formed on Dehydroxylated Alumina

Abstract: The adsorption of C 3 hydrocarbons propylene, 1-iodopropane, and 1,3-diiodopropane is studied in ultrahigh vacuum on a molybdenum-aluminum alloy formed by molybdenum hexacarbonyl reaction with a planar alumina film grown on a Mo(100) substrate. Carbon-iodine bond scission occurs below ∼200 K to deposit iodine, and form propyl species from 1-iodopropane and a C 3 metallacycle from 1,3-diiodopropane. Propyl species either undergo -hydride elimination to yield propylene or hydrogenate to form propane. Propylene a… Show more

“…The desorption of propylene at ∼330 K is characteristic for the decomposition of C 3 metallacycles. 39 However, no 220-K features were detected in these desorption spctra. Thus, to elucidate the nature of the 220-K desorption state, propylene (41 amu) desorption spectra were collected by dosing in the reverse order, that is by exposing the alloy to 5 L C 2 H 4 followed by various exposures to CH 2 I 2 .…”

“…The data of Figure 2a confirms that reaction occurs between the carbene formed from methylene iodide and the results of Figure 2b are consistent with both the decomposition products (ethylene and methane) and reaction temperatures from the decomposition of C 3 metallacycles formed from DIP. 39 The data of Figure 2b demonstrate that ethylene metathesis has occurred since the 12 C originally in the carbene has been incorporated into the ethylene that is produced. Finally, the data of Figure 2c indicate that reaction has not proceeded via methylene insertion into an ethyl species.…”
