Some new bimetallic nickel and palladium complexes for catalysis applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
This thesis reports on the syntheses of new bimetallic iminopyridyl nickel(II) and
palladium(II) complexes as catalyst precursors for ethylene ligomerization/polymerization. Tetrahydrophenyl-linked iminopyridyl ligands, ...
Synthesis and characterization of pyridyl/quinolyl imine ruthenium(II) and palladium (II) complexes in catalysis
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
We report the successful syntheses of a family of tetradentate N-donor pyridyl and quinolyl-imine ligands N1,N2-bis((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)ethane-1,2-diamine (L1), N1,N3- bis(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)propane-1,3-diamine (L2), ...
Supported metal catalysts for friedel-crafts alkylation
(2013)
The research focused on the synthesis, characterisation and activity of zeolite supported metal catalysts for the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene with t-butyl chloride. Alkyl benzenes are traditionally produced via ...
Synthesis and characterization of micro- and mesoporous materials for low temperature selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
In summary, it has been shown during this study that bimetallic Fe and Mn containing catalysts can be prepared by wet impregnation and not by ion exchange because of the competition between two different metals at different ...
Synthesis and characterization of cathode catalysts for use in direct methanol fuels cells
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
In this work a modified polyol method was developed to synthesize in-house
catalysts. The method was modified for maximum delivery of product and proved to be quick and efficient as well as cost effective. The series of ...
