In dieser Arbeit wurden Gold- und PlatinNanopartikel in sphärischen Polyelektolyt-Bürsten (SPB) synthetisiert. Diese wurden zu mechanistischen Untersuchungen der p-Nitrophenol-Reduktion mittels Natriumborhydrid herangezogen. Dabei konnte der Mechanismus der Reaktion auf der Oberfläche der Nanopartikel aufgeklärt werden. Die Reaktion folgt einem Langmuir Hinshelwood (LH) Mechanismus. Hierbei adsorbieren beide Edukte auf die Oberfläche, bevor sie im zu p-Aminophenol umgesetzt werden. Nach der Reaktion desorbiert das Reaktionsprodukt. Mittels des LH Modells konnten für verschiedene Temperaturen die intrinsische Geschwindigkeitskonstante, sowie die Adsorptionskonstanten der Edukte bestimmt werden. Mit diesen Daten konnten dann die Enthalpie und Entropie der Adsorption der Edukte und die Aktivierungsenergie berechnet werden. Neben dem Reaktionsmechanismus wurde die Induktionszeit der p-Nitrophenol Reduktion untersucht. Hierbei konnte gezeigt werden, dass diese Totzeit der Reaktion wahrscheinlich auf eine Restrukturierung der Nanopartikeloberfläche zurückzuführen ist. Sie ist unabhängig von den eingesetzten Konzentrationen des Borhydrids, hingegen abhängig von der Konzentration an p-Nitrophenol auf der Oberfläche der Nanopartikel, was auf Restrukturierung der Nanopartikel durch p-Nitrophenol hindeutet. Zudem wurden Hinweise auf eine spontane Rekonstruktion der Nanopartikel gefunden, die unabhängig von der Konzentration des p-Nitrophenols ist. Des Weiteren wurde die katalytische Oxidation von Morin mit Manganoxid Nanopartikeln untersucht. Diese sind in der Polyelektrolytschale der SPB immobilisiert. Analysen der Reaktionskinetik der Morin Oxidation ergaben, dass auch in diesem Fall der LH Mechanismus vorliegt. Hierbei konnten die Adsorptionskonstanten und Geschwindigkeitskonstanten für verschiedene Temperaturen ermittelt werden und somit die Aktivierungsenergie der Oxidation sowie die Adsorptionsenthalpie und Entropie der Edukte. / In this work, gold and platinum nanoparticles were synthesized into spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (SPB) in order to apply them as catalysts for kinetic studies of the reduction of p-nitrophenol by sodium borohydride. It was found that the reaction follows the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (LH) mechanism where both educts must adsorb onto the surface of the catalyst in order to react. Thereby, the rate determining step is the surface reaction of both educts. After the reaction, the product desorbs from the surface and a free active site is formed. With this model the intrinsic reaction rate and the adsorption constants for both educts could be determined. The measurements at different temperatures allowed the calculation of the activation energy and the adsorption enthalpy and entropy of the educts. Besides the reaction mechanism, the induction time of the reaction was analyzed. Here, it was shown that the reason of this delay time is a restructuring of the nanoparticle surface. The induction time is solely dependent on the concentration of p-nitrophenol on the surface of the nanoparticles and independent of the applied concentrations of borohydride. Moreover, hints for a spontaneous reconstruction of the nanoparticles without p-nitrophenol were found. In the second part, the catalytic oxidation of morin by manganese oxide has been studied. These nanoparticles were embedded inside the polyelectrolyte layer of the SPB. These nanoparticles were used for systematic studies of the oxidation of morin with hydrogen peroxide. It was shown that in this case the reaction followed a LH kinetics as well. Here, the intrinsic rate constants and the adsorption constants could be obtained for different temperatures. The activation energy and the adsorption enthalpy and entropy could be determined accordingly. The adsorption enthalpy is exothermic in both cases.

From acetaldehyde, wanted to find the mean concentration that better favor the reaction to evolve for CO2 in the potential smaller from production of the kind. The concentration 0,01 Mol L-1 was better suitable, but the increase of the concentration in solution, this is pathway was whole inhibited. However, in the high potential the form to acetic acidic is favorable. For main cronoamperometry, acetaldehyde in the concentration 0,02 Mol L-1, were able proof results in situ FTIRS. According to potential, this is results was interpreted second pattern to consider: the pear adsorbed kinds (Langmuir-Hinshelwood) and other where consider only one adsorbed kinds between adsorbed (pattern Eley-Rideal mechanism). In the case of ethanol labeled oxidation (H3 13CO 12CH2OH), it is search to look into the path delineated from way severous of the reaction from to form CO2. The results showed that is product would to be results of the intermediates oxidations contained carbon from alcohol group and intermediates contained carbon from group methyl; however, the intermediates contained carbon alcohol group is mores able reactive in the zone potential searched in the work, is this mores, confronted with able reactive metil group. The path double that yield CO2 in the zone potential below 1,0 V, are yielded coupling bands 12COL and 13COL which coexist in below potential. In the presence kind 13COL in 0,4 V potential proof that of the efficiency of the platinum electrode for the oxygenation group metil in the zone below potential. In the potential largest that 1,0 V, where exist the formation continuous of carbon dioxide, the difference in the greatness bands associated from 12CO2 e 13CO2 (double path product contained carbon), was interpreted in the sense of the electrochemical conditions infortunable for remover hydrogen group metil; additional this is kind was to promote for yield from molecules, which not is able identify for whole technique. / Este trabalho trata das reações de eletrooxidações de acetaldeído comum e etanol isotopicamente marcado, ambas reações em superfície de platina policristalina em meio de ácido perclórico, HClO4, 0,1 Mol L-1, com a utilização de técnicas eletroquímicas convencionais e espectroscopia (FTIRS in situ). Para o acetaldeído, essa reação foi estuda com a dependência do potencial aplicado e a concentração do aldeído em solução, que melhor resultaram na transformação desta molécula a CO2. Assim, para o potencial 0,6 V, a concentração de aldeído 0,01 Mol L-1 foi a mais apropriada deduzida a partir de FTIRS in situ e, a concentração 0,02 Mol L-1 permitiu a geração de maior densidade de corrente e foi inferida a partir de cronoamperometria. Essa discrepância foi discutida em termos das reações específicas que resultam no sinal analítico para cada técnica. Dependendo da concentração do acetaldeído, a via de formação de CO2 foi completamente inibida e, em altos potenciais, prevalecia sempre a formação de ácido acético. Paralelamente, dependendo do potencial, estes resultados foram interpretados com base em modelos de mecanismos de reações que considera: um par de reagentes adsorvidos (mecanismo Langmuir-Hinshelwood) e apenas uma espécie adsorvida do par fundamental de reagentes (mecanismo Eley-Rideal). Para o etanol isotopicamente marcado (H3 13C 12CH2OH), foram investigados passos delineados pelas diferentes vias de reação de formação de CO2. Os resultados mostraram que este produto pode ser resultante da eletrooxidação de intermediários contendo o carbono do grupo álcool e do grupo metil, sendo que o intermediário contendo o carbono do grupo álcool, para toda a faixa de potenciais investigados, é bem mais reativo que o intermediário contendo o carbono do grupo metil. As vias duplas que geram CO2 em potenciais abaixo de 1,0 V são resultantes de bandas acopladas de 12COL e 13COL que coexistem em baixos potenciais. A presença de 13COL em 0,35 V foi encarada como uma evidência da eficiência da Pt para oxigenação do grupo metil em baixos potenciais. Em potenciais acima de 1,0 V, onde há produção contínua de dióxido de carbono, a diferença na magnitude das intensidades de bandas relativa ao 13CO2 e 12CO2 (das vias de origem de carbono), foi interpretada como sendo as referidas condições eletroquímicas desfavoráveis para desprotonação do metil.
