Chapter 2 Promoter or Active phase: Interactions that allow the reactants to interact simultaneously with the metal and the promoter are the most relevant to catalysis. When the catalyst consists of metal fragments covered by promoter oxide, some steps in the overall reaction may be catalyzed at the metal- promoter-liquid/gas interphase. A supported metal-promotor interaction has been observed in niobium oxide-promoted Rh/SiO2 catalysts 47 , niobia- promoted Pt/Al2O3 catalysts 48 , and silica supported NiNb2O6 catalysts 49 . Solid Acid Catalyst: Although niobium-containing catalysts were studied in various acid catalysed reactions and their acidity was assessed by various techniques, they have not been widely used as acid catalysts in practise. Datka et al. 50 examined the acidic properties of niobium oxide catalysts and found Lewis acidity in the silica-, magnesia-, titania-, and zirconia-supported systems, while Brønsted acid sites were only encountered when the niobia was supported on alumina or silica. Recent work includes a study by Silva et al. 51 on Nb-doped iron oxides that were used as heterogeneous catalysts to oxidize organic compounds in aqueous solutions containing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The H2O2 treatment of the solid catalyst induces important surface and structural changes to the iron oxides, essentially by formation of peroxo-niobium complexes which enhances the catalytic properties of the composite. Research on the catalytic performance of niobium in crystalline and amorphous solids in catalytic oxidation reactions were done by Ziolek et al. 52 in 2011. Bulk niobium(v) oxide materials were used as catalysts in the gas phase oxidation of methanol with oxygen, liquid phase oxidation of glycerol with oxygen and the liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexene with H2O2. The amorphous materials containing niobium were the most effective catalyst because of the strong interaction between the Nb and H2O2. That was not the case for the crystalline catalysts 47 T.

Chapter 2 containing niobium as the niobium species promoted the stabilization of the active species loaded. 2.6 β-diketone complexes of niobium Metal β-diketonates are amongst the most studied coordination compounds and their chemistry has been examined for most of the metals in the periodic table. The ligand forms chelates with the metal and delocalizes the negative charge over a “metallacycle”. 53 β-diketones has the potential to be easily derivatized using well- established procedures. The steric and electronic nature of this ligand type may be varied to probe the structure and function of interest. Variation of the R groups influence the properties displayed by metal β-diketonates and the ability to form higher coordinate species can be achieved by variation of the terminal R groups on the β-diketone. It has been shown that the stepwise incorporation of electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl groups increases the affinity of the central metal ion for further ligation. 54 Keto Enol Figure 2.1: Keto-enol tautomerism in β-diketones. The simplest β-diketone is acetylacetone (2,4-pentanedione, acacH), which tends to form neutral complexes with niobium. The adopted geometry normally reflects the preferred geometry of the metal ion involved. Slight basic conditions cause deprotonation and the resulting acetylacetone anion readily complexes a range of 53 R. C. Mehrotra, R. Bohra, D. P.
