Abstract:
The adsorption of electron acceptors, viz.,7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane(TCNQ), 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-p-
benzoquinone (chloranil) and p-dinitrobenzene
(PDNB) on the surface of three rare earth oxides Y2O3,
Nd203 and Pr6O11 has been studied in acetonitrile and
dioxan. From the radical concentration on the surface
determined using ESR spectral data, the electron donor
strength of the rare earth oxides are reported.

Abstract:
The electron donor properties of Pr6O11 activated at 300. 500 and 800°C are reported from the studies
on adsorption of electron acceptors of various electron affinity (7. 7, 8, 8-tetracyanoquinodimethane.
2, 3. 5, 6-tetrachloro-l, 4-benzoquin one. p-dinitrobenzene. and
m-dinitrobenzene) in three solvents (acetonitrile, 1,4-dioxan and ethyl acetate). The extent of electron
transfer during adsorption is understood from magnetic measurements and ESR spectral data. The corresponding
data on mixed oxides of Pr and Al are reported for various compositions, The acid / base
properties of these oxides are determined using a set of Hammett indicators.

Abstract:
Some new transition metal complexes of the Schiff base
quinoxaline-2-car boxalidene-2-aminophenol (HQAP) have been
synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, conductance
and magnetic measurements and IR and UV-Visible spectral studies.
The complexes have the following empirical formulae: [Mn(QAP121,
[Fe(QAPl2C1I, [Co(QAPl21, [Ni(QAP121 and [Cu(QAP121. A tetrahedral
structure has been assigned for the manganese(=), cobalt(II1,
nickel(II1 and copper(II1 complexes. For the iron(IIIl complex an
octahedral dimeric structure has been suggested

Abstract:
The results of a detailed study of the propionylation of anisole over various medium and large pore zeolites such as H-ZSM-5, H-beta, H-Na-beta. H-mordenite. H-Y and H-RE- Y are presented and discussed. In addition, homogenous catalysts and amorphous Si02-Al2O3 are also included for comparison, The catalyst and process parameters are optimised to enhance the conversion of propionyl chloride(PC) and selectivity to 4-methoxypropiophenone(4-MOPP).

Abstract:
The surface acidity/ basicity of TiO2 (rutile) and its sulphate modified
form have been determined by titration method using Hammett
indicators after activation at different temperatures. The electron
donating properties of these oxides are also studied from the adsorption
of electron acceptors of different electron affinity values. The
data have been correlated with the catalytic activity of these oxides
towards esterification of acetic acid using n-butanol, reduction of
cyclohexanone in isopropanol and oxidation of cyclohexanol in benzophenone.
Catalytic activity for esterification and oxidation reaction
parallels the acidity while that for reduction reaction parallels
the basicity of these oxides.
