Preparation of two new Bis-N-heterocyclic carbene (Bis-NHC) platinum (ІІ) complexes have been described. The reaction of the Bis-NHC complex [PtMe2(Bis-NHC)], 1, in which Bis-NHC = 1,1’-methylene-3,3’-di(tert-Bu)imidazole ylidene, with two equivalent trifluoroacetic acid give the new Bis-NHC platinum [Pt(Bis-NHC)(CF3COO)2], 2. Complex 2 has been characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy in solution and its solid state structure determined using X-ray crystallography. The mono-methyl Bis-NHC platinum(ІІ) complex, {PtMe(Bis-NHC)[OHB(C6F5)3]}, 3, has been prepared by the reaction of one equivalent B(C6F5)3 with [PtMe2(Bis-NHC)], 1. The mono-methyl complex 1 has a labile ligand... 

Platinum nanowires were prepared by electrodeposition in polycarbonate membrane, with different average diameter of nanowires about 15, 50 and 100 nm and the height about 6 µm. Kinetics of electrodeposition process were studied by electrochemical techniques such as voltammetry and chronoamperometry methods. Diffusion coefficient was then calculated from the electrochemical parameters and consequently the density of primer nuclei was extracted. The morphology of Pt nanowires was characterized by SEM, TEM and EDX. The results show that growing Nanowires on the surface of template is branch-like. The electro-oxidation of methanol and hydrogen on this electrode is investigated at room... 

The present study was aimed at investigating the use of platinum and platinum nanoparticles stabilized on zeolite as catalyst for the reduction reaction of p-nitrotoluene as one of the dangerous pollutants. The adsorption properties of platinum based on zeolite have been studied for some heavy metals. Monodispersed platinum nanoparticles were synthesized through reduction of H2PtCl6 by ethanol in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a stabilizer, and then were immobilized on four types of zeolites. The study then focused on elaboration of the catalytic activity of the nano catalysts under different operational conditions. In order to investigate the catalytic properties, operating... 

The heteronuclear complexes [MePt(bhq)(μ-dppy)Au(PPh3)]PF6, 2, [MePt(bhq)(dppy)Tl]PF6, 3 and [Me2Pt2(bhq)2(dppy)2Tl]PF6, 4 in which bhq=benzo{h}quinoline and dppy=2-diphenylphosphinopyridine, were prepared by reaction of the mononuclear complex [MePt(bhq)(dppy)] 1 with 1 equivAuCl(PPh3), 1equiv TlPF6 and 1/2 equiv TlPF6 respectively. All the complexes were fully characterized using multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and ESI-MS spectrometry. In addition molecular structures of complexes 2 and 3 in solid state have been determined by X-ray crystallography that shown strong dative bonds between platinum and gold or thallium atoms. As shown by ESI-MS spectrometry, the Pt-Au bond in complex 2... 

In this research binuclear platinum(IV) complexes with coinage metals have been synthesized and characterized. the trimethyl platinum(IV) complex [PtMe3(phthalazine)3]+X- has been prepared by the reaction of [PtMe3(THF)]4 with 3 equiv. phthalazine and used as initial material. The first complex, [PtMe3(µ-(phthalazine)2Cl)PtMe3], synthesized via reaction of 2 equiv. [Pt(Me)3(Phthalazine)3] with 1 equiv. [AuClSMe2]. The second complex, [PtMe3(µ-phthalazine)3Ag][BF4], synthesized by reaction of one equiv. of each compound [Ag(CH3CN)4]BF4 and [Pt(Me)3(Phthalazine)3] And the third complex, [PtMe3(µ-phthalazine)3Cu][PF6], synthesized like second one via reaction of [Cu(CH3CN)4]PF6 and... 

Dehydrogenation of C10-C14 normal paraffins on Pt/alumina catalyst is a reaction of prime importance particularly to the detergent industry for the manufacture of the active ingredients. In this thesis, the modifying effect of Zn, Li, K, and Mg on the activity and selectivity of the Pt-Sn/γ-Al2O3 dehydrogenation catalysts were investigated. The catalysts were prepared by co-impregnation, characterized by TPR, BET, SEM, EDAX and XRD techniques and tested in a tubular reactor. Zinc reduced the activity of Pt-Sn alloy and hence reduced the catalyst activity in the dehydrogenation reaction and enhanced its selectivity to normal mono olefins. The addition of Li, K, and Mg to Pt-Sn/γ-Al2O3... 

The cyclometalated platinum(II) complex [Pt(Me)(bhq)(2-vpy)], 2, in which bhq = benzo{h}quinolone, 2-vpy = 2-vinylpyridine, has been prepared by reaction of the cyclometalated complex [Pt(Me) bhq)(SMe2)], 1 with one equiv 2-vinylpyridine. The similar complex [Pt(p-tolyl)(ppy)(2-vpy)], 3 in which ppy = 2-phenyl pyridine, has been prepared from reaction of the platinum(II) complex cis-[Pt(p-MeC6H4)2(SMe2)2] with one equiv 2-phenylpyridine and one equiv 2-vinylpyridine. Reaction of 2 with one equiv Br2 in acetone gave the cyclometalated platinum(IV) complex [Pt(bhq)Me(Br)(NC5H4CHCH2Br)], 4. The structure of the complexes 1-3 were determined using NMR Spectroscopy. The crystal structure of 3... 

In the recent decades, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEFC) have been known as an appropriate type of fuel cells, due to being electrochemical converter and clean energy generator with high power density and having low operation temperature and launch time. Palatine is one of the major materials that are used in electro-catalysts of fuel cell. Due to shortage of palatine resources and its high price, fuel cell production is not economical. To achieve economic conditions for production of fuel cell, two major methods are proposed:
1) Reduction of the employed amount of palatine in electro-catalyst
2) Full replacement of palatine with cheap materials
In the current... 

Platinum nanotubes were deposited inside the pores of polycarbonate template with the pore size of 200 nm by electrochemical methods. In this regard a solution containing of 0.05 M H2PtCl6 and 0. 1 M H2SO4 in doubly distilled water was utilized. The electrodeposition process was studied by electrochemical techniques such as voltammetry and chronoamperometry methods. It was observed that the process was conducted in several stages including; nucleation and growth in steady state regime. Furthermore, it was concluded that electrodeposition was affected by mass transport restriction and was controlled by a diffusion process. In this regard, all the voltammograms were shifted to more negative...
