Abstract

The reaction behavior of the title complexes have been investigated by means of in situ IR in nitrogen atmosphere. It has been found that they enabled the acetic acid to convert to acetone and methane in different temperatures. The results indicate that the sequence of the ketonization reaction activity for the clusters was [V3OAT] > [VFe2OAT], [V2CrOAT] > [Fe3OAT], [VCr2OAT] > [Cr3OAT] [OAT = (mu 3-O) (mu-O2CCH3)6 (THF)3], and the sequence of the methanation reaction activity for the clusters was [Cr3OAT] > [VCr2OAT], [V2CrOAT] > [V3OAT] > [VFe2OAT], [Fe2OAH]. The ketonization reaction activity of [Fe3OAT] were obviously lower than that of [Fe3OAH] [OAH = (mu 3-O) (mu-O2CCH3)6 (H2O)3] and the methanation reaction activity of [Cr3OAT] were also much lower than that of [Cr3OAH]. The difference between [Fe3OAH], [Cr3OAT] and [Fe3OAH], [Cr3OAH] mentioned above were discussed.
