The invention relates generally to hierarchical inorganic materials and a method for making and using same. The materials of the invention have a controlled hardness, porosity, and surface area ideally suited for use as, e.g., durable catalyst supports for reactions conducted in severe and/or hydrothermal environments. The materials of the invention are prepared by infusing hierarchical templates of suitably shaped sized cellulosic or lignocellulosic particles (e.g., from wood, bamboo, and the like) with soluble transition-metal and/or ceramic precursors. Infused templates are heated in a gaseous atmosphere until volatile chemical components are removed. After drying, the infused templates are heated under flowing argon, helium, or air atmosphere for several hours to remove volatiles and convert all or part of the transition-metal and/or ceramic precursors to respective carbide, oxycarbide, or other chemical forms.

摘要:
An improved structure for electron beam lithography grids and a method of fabricating such grids yields calibration grids having grid lines coplanar with the surface of a the grid body and laterally supported by grooves formed in the grid body and which can also be cleaned after contamination by outgassing resist during use by virtue of the provision of such lateral support for the grid lines. The grid exhibits improved accuracy due to the technique of fabrication of the grooves. The invention thus allows the electron beam lithography process to be conducted with less expense and at a greater speed. The improved accuracy of the calibration grid also permits integrated circuits and masks used in the fabrication of such devices to be designed more flexibly and fabricated at reduced cost and improved integration densities and manufacturing yields.
摘要:
This invention relates to an improved hydrogenation process wherein aromatic amines are hydrogenated to their ring hydrogenated counterparts using an improved rhodium catalyst and to the catalyst. The aromatic amines are represented by the formulas: ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or C.sub.1-6 aliphatic, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen or C.sub.1-6 aliphatic, A is C.sub.1-4 alkylene, NH, or ##STR2## n is 0-2, x is 1-3 and y is 1 to 2 except the sum of the y groups in Formula I excluding A may be 1.The rhodium catalyst is supported on titania bonded to silica or zirconia or bonded with silica, zirconia or titania from a sol or zirconia bonded with silica or alumina. The resulting catalyst has greater activity and attrition resistance. Zirconia bonded with silica or alumina also results in a catalyst with increased attrition resistance.
摘要:
A method for carrying out reactions of the Friedel-Crafts type, such as alkylation, acylation, polymerization, sulfonylation and dehydrohalogenation. The reactions are catalyzed by arene-metal tricarbonyl complexes and when the reaction vessel contains aromatic substrates the catalyst may be generated in situ from a metallic hexacarbonyl. The arene-metal tricarbonyl catalyst is more selective than conventionally employed Friedel-Craft catalysts in that it yields generally para isomers with little of the ortho variety and very little if any of the meta variety when the aromatic substrate is reacted with organic halide. It is also possible to form the arene-metal tricarbonyl catalyst outside of the reaction vessel and then proceed by adding it to the vessel containing the substrate and the organic halide as is the case with dehydrohalogenation reactions wherein there are no aromatic rings available, the substrate in that instance being aliphatic.
