FERROCENE DISPROPORTIONATION REACTIONS IN A PLASMA-LIQUID SYSTEM WITH A ROTATING GLIDING DISCHARGE

Abstract

A plasma-liquid system with the activation of H2O distillate and 0.1 M ferrocene solution in organic solvents (ethanol, acetonitrile) with a rotating gliding discharge plasma was studied. The research was conducted using various plasma-forming gases (air, Ar, N2, CO2). Determination of plasma parameters was performed by plasma emission spectroscopy methods. It was shown that the plasma of both the rotating gliding discharge and the plasma of the secondary discharge supported by the gliding discharge are non-isothermal. The study of the physicochemical properties of the synthesis products was performed by adsorption, luminescence analysis, polarimetry, chromatographymass spectrometry and NMR methods. It was found that cyclopentadiene ligands of ferrocene disproportionate into saturated cyclic hydrocarbons (cyclopentane and pentane). Also, as a result of plasma chemical synthesis, aromatic compounds (benzene and its derivatives) are formed.
