Abstract. Cobalt phthalocyanine tetrasulphonamide was synthesized by reacting cobalt phthalocyanine with chlorosulphonic acid at 130–135 oC followed by addition of thionyl chloride to convert free sulphonic acid to sulphonyl chloride and subsequently amidation with ammonia. It was isolated by acidifying the reaction mixture with hydrochloric acid followed by filtration. It was characteriz…

Abstract. A series ofmordenite-based catalysts of varying acidity and metal concentrations were prepared and the effect of physico-chemical properties of these catalysts on the n-hexane isomerization activity was studied. Acid treatment with nitric acid greatly influenced the nature and amount of aluminum in the zeolite characterized by 29Si and 27Al NMR. The microcalorimerty studies of amm…
