The study of some transition metals complexes as process catalysts: Quarterly report for the period March 1, 1987 through May 31, 1987

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6484580
The main objectives of this project are the following: (1) Preparation and characterization of transition metal complexes with nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur donor ligands especially the poly(pyrazolyl)borate ligands. (2) Preparation of bimetallic complexes of molybdenum and other metals such as nickel, cobalt, and iron. (3) Determination of the ability of the above complexes to catalytically reduce polycyclic aromatic or heterocyclic compounds. (4) Evaluation of these complexes as coal liquefaction catalysts. (5) Evaluation of these complexes as desulfurization and denitrogenation catalysts. (6) Training of students in transition metal complex preparation and characterization and in the evaluation of metal complexes as process catalysts.
