Vb. Goncharov et al., ELEMENTARY STEPS OF THE GAS-PHASE CATALYTIC-OXIDATION OF CO IN THE PRESENCE OF RHENIUM CATIONS WITH CARBONYL AND OXYGEN LIGANDS - A COMPARISON WITH HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS, Kinetics and catalysis, 38(5), 1997, pp. 589-594
The reactivity of rhenium (Re+) and rhenium monocarbonyl (ReCO+) catio
ns in the gas phase toward CO oxidation by oxygen-containing reagents
(NO, O-2, and N2O) was studied by ion cyclotron resonance. The presenc
e of a carbonyl ligand significantly affects the ion reactivity. An ef
fective route of metal monocarbonyl ion oxidation by molecular oxygen
was found. This step can explain low-temperature activity of a number
of oxide catalysts in the reaction of CO oxidation by molecular oxygen
.
