Abstract: A process for preparing a catalyst material, includes: (a) providing a support material having surface hydroxyl (OH) groups, the support material is ceria (CeO2), zirconia (ZrO2) or a combination, and the support material contains between 0.3 and 2.0 mmol OH groups/g of the support material; (b) reacting the support material with at least one of: (b1) a compound containing at least one alkoxy or phenoxy group bound though its oxygen atom to a metal element from Group 5 (V, Nb, Ta) or Group 6 (Cr, Mo, W); (b2) a compound containing at least one hydrocarbon group bound though a carbon atom to a metal element from Group 5 or 6; (b3) a compound containing at least one hydrocarbon group bound though a carbon atom to a metal element which is copper (Cu); and (c) calcining the product obtained in step (b).

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a catalyst and/or a precatalyst, in particular a single site catalyst and/or a single site precatalyst, for the oxidation and/or ammoxidation of olefins to produce aldehydes and/or nitriles, methods of preparing a corresponding catalyst and/or precatalyst, in particular single site catalyst and/or single site precatalyst, and methods of using said catalyst and/or precatalyst, in particular said single site catalyst and/or single site precatalyst, to produce aldehydes and/or nitriles.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a process for depositing a group V metal containing film on a substrate by introducing a substrate into a reactor; preferably heating the substrate at a temperature above 150° C.; feeding a compound of the formula (Ia) or of the formula (Ib), or a mixture of said compounds thereof in the vapor phase into the reactor; optionally feeding a second compound of the formula (Ia) or of the formula (Ib), or a second mixture of said compounds thereof in vapor phase into the reactor; and thereby depositing the group V metal containing film onto said substrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a solid metal compound comprising (i) a solid support comprising aluminium oxide, (ii) at least one first metal compound (C1) selected from metal hydrides, organometallic compounds and organometallic hydrides, and comprising a metal (M1) selected from the lanthanides, the actinides and the metals of Groups 4 to 7 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, and (iii) at least one second metal compound (C2) comprising a metal (M2) selected from the metals of Groups 8 to 10 of said Table. The compounds (C1) and (C2) are preferably supported on, particularly grafted onto the solid support.

Abstract: Compound of the formula (Ia), or of the formula (Ib). These new precursors are useful for pure metal, metallic oxide, oxynitride, nitride and/or silicide film deposition to make electrodes and/or high k layers, and/or copper diffusion barrier layers, etc.
