M. Momirlan et al., STYRYLPYRYLIUM SALTS .3. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF STYRYLPYRYLIUM CATIONSADSORBED ON TIO2, Revue Roumaine de Chimie, 41(11-12), 1996, pp. 1025-1029
A styrylpyrylium salt was adsorbed on two types of TiO2 (anatase and g
lass TiO2) and the obtained catalysts were characterized by IR spectro
scopy and X-ray diffraction. The catalysts were studied for their acti
vity towards H2O2 decomposition, and a mechanism was proposed for this
activity, as well as a hypothesis for water cleavage by this type of
active surfaces.
