The Zn and Fe modified S2O8-2/ZrO2-Al2O3 catalyst (Zn-Fe-SZA) was prepared and mechanisms of deactivation and methods for regeneration of as-prepared catalyst were explored with n-pentane isomerization as a probe reaction. The results indicated that the isopentane yield of the fresh Zn-Fe-SZA-F catalyst was about 57% at the beginning of the run, and declined gradually to 50% within 1500 min, then fell rapidly from 50% to 40% between 1500 and 2500 minutes. The deactivation of Zn-Fe-SZA catalyst may be caused by carbon formation on surface of the catalyst, sulfate group attenuation owing to reduction by hydrogen, removal of sulfur species and the loss of strong acid sites. It was found that the initial catalytic activity over Zn-Fe-SZA-T catalyst was 48%, which recovered by 84.3% as compared to that of fresh catalyst (57%). However, it showed a sharp decrease in isopentane yield from 48% to 29% within 1500 minutes, showing poor stability. This is associated to the loss of acidity caused by removal of sulfur species cannot be basically restored by thermal treatment. Resulfating the calcined catalyst could improve the acidity of catalyst significantly, especially strong acid sites, as compared with the calcined sample. The improved stability of the resulfated catalyst can be explained by: 1) eliminaton of carbon deposition to some extent by calcination process, 2) formation of improved acidic nature by re-sulfation, favoring isomerization on acidic sites, 3) restructuring of the acid and metal sites via the calcination-re-sulfation procedure.

It has previously been demonstrated that phenanthroline-based ligands used to make gold metallotherapuetics have the ability to exhibit cytotoxicity when not coordinated to the metal center. In an effort to help assess the mechanism by which these ligands may cause tumor cell death, iron binding and removal experiments have been considered. The close linkage between cell proliferation and intracellular iron concentrations suggest that iron deprivation strategies may be a mechanism involved in inhibiting tumor cell growth. With the creation of iron (III) phen complexes, the iron binding abilities of three polypyridal ligands [1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2,9-dimethyl-1, 10-phenanthroline (methylphen), and 2,9-di-sec-butyl-1, 10-phenanthroline ( sec-butylphen)] can be tested via a competition reaction with a known iron chelator. Therefore, iron (III) complexes possessing all three ligands were synthesized. Initial mass spectrometric and infrared absorption data indicate that iron (III) tetrachloride complex ions with protonated phen ligands (RphenH+) were formed: [phenH][FeCl4], [methylphenH][FeCl4], [ sec-butylphenH][FeCl4]. UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to monitor the stability of the complex ions, and it was found that the sec-butylpheniron complex was more stable than the phen and methylphen analogues. This was based on the observation that free ligand was observed immediately upon the addition of EDTA to the [phenH][FeCl4] and [methylphenH] [FeCl4] complex ions.
