Popis: Basic copper(II)-ammine ammonium chromate (BCAAC) of the composition [(Cu 2+ ) 1+ x (NH 4 + ) y (OH − ) 2 2x + y (NH 3 ) z (CrO 4 2− )] was prepared by the reaction of basic copper(II)-ammonium chromate (BCAC) with ammonia. Compounds with coefficients x , y , z varying in the approximate intervals 0 x y z p NH 3 . According to the results of IR, electronic and EPR spectra, NH 3 substitutes for oxygen and hydroxyl groups bound to Cu(II) and [Cu(NH 3 ) 4 ] 2+ complexcations are formed in BCAAC. This reaction is reversible at room temperature and it can be written schematically as Download full-size image At 130° C and 180° C ammonia desorption takes place in the process of the thermal decomposition. At ca. 205 ° C an explosive Cr(VI) to Cr(III) reduction leads to copper-chromium oxide catalyst with highly disordered structure. After its heating to 500° C a system, which contains crystalline CuO and a metastable CuCr 2 O 4 with a unit cell of orthorhombic symmetry ( a = 0.593 nm, b = 0.603 nm, c = 0.779 mn) was obtained. The activity of the catalyst in the hydrogenation-alkylation reaction is lower than the activity of the one prepared from BCAC at 270 °C.
