preparation of a nickel-oxy-hydroxide decorated ITQ-2 composite: a hydrodeoxygenation catalyst.

A layered zeolite precursor of MWW type (MCM-22) was successfully delaminated (ITQ-2) in the presence of nickel oxy-hydroxide. The broadening of XRD peaks corresponding to the (100), (220), and (310) planes and the disappearance of the (002) plane confirm the delamination. The curled ITQ-2 sheets having uniform lattice fringes, and the slit-shaped layers illustrate the formation of nickel-oxy-hydroxide-decorated ITQ-2 (Ni-ITQ-2 composite).

Cyclocondensation of Anthranilamide with Aldehydes on Gallium-Containing MCM-22 Zeolite Materials.

A gallium-containing MCM-22 (Mobil Composition of Matter No. 22) zeolite material was prepared using a simple hydrothermal method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis and powder X-ray diffraction provide evidence of the formation of a pure MCM-22 phase framework and an MWW (MCM-tWenty-tWo) structure.

Recent Advances in the Preparation and Applications of Organo-functionalized Porous Materials.

Organo-functionalized materials with porous structure offer unique adsorption, catalytic and sensing properties. These unique properties make them available for various applications, including catalysis, CO capture and utilization, and drug delivery. The properties and the performance of these unique materials can be altered with suitable modifications on their surface.

Ruthenium-Based Macromolecules as Potential Catalysts in Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Phases for the Utilization of Carbon Dioxide.

Ruthenium-containing tetraphenylporphyrin (Ru-TPP) molecule was prepared, and the structural elucidation was confirmed using H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), CHN, and mass spectral analyses. The incorporation of ruthenium ion into the cavities of the macromolecule was confirmed from the disappearance of the H NMR signal, characteristic of the N-H bond (-2.72 ppm in TPP).

In-situ preparation of functionalized molecular sieve material and a methodology to remove template.

A series of diaminosilane-functionalized silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve (SAPO-37) was prepared by in-situ synthesis, and a novel method was developed for the selective removal of structure directing agent (SDA)/template from the functionalized SAPO-37.The complete removal of the SDA was evident according to FT-IR, TGA, (13)C MAS-NMR and elemental analysis. The developed method was found to be efficient for removal of template from microporous molecular sieve viz.

The beta-zeolite synthesized by dry-gel conversion method without the use of sodium hydroxide: characterization and catalytic behaviors.

The nano-sizedbeta-zeolites were synthesized first time by dry gel conversion (DGC) method without the use of sodium hydroxide. Resultant beta-zeolites had particle size of 35-80 nm with SiO2/Al2O3 ratios in the range of 25-400. They had BET surface areas in the range of 290-750 m2 x g(-1) and the external surface area of 41-283 m2 x g(-1): cumulative surface areas were in the range of 420-1050 m2 x g(-1).

Fe(III) containing MCM-48 type mesoporous molecular sieves with framework zeolite secondary building units.

Fe(III) containing mesoporous materials (FeMMSH) with zeolite building units were first time synthesized. XRD and N2 adsorption/desorption analysis confirm the mesoporous characters similar to MCM-48. FT-IR analysis of FeMMSH showed an additional band at about 530-550 cm(-1), characteristic of double five-membered ring of zeolite (ZSM-5) secondary building unit.

Grafting of cyclopentadienyl ruthenium complexes on aminosilane linker modified mesoporous SBA-15 silicates.

Cyclopentadienyl ruthenium phosphane and carbene complexes are grafted on the surface of mesoporous SBA-15 molecular sieves through an aminosilane linker. The nature of the support after the grafting is examined by powder XRD, TEM and N(2) adsorption/desorption analysis. Elemental analysis, FT-IR, DRIFTS, TG-MS and MAS-NMR studies confirm the successful grafting of the complexes on the surface.

Heterogenization of an organorhenium(VII) oxide on a modified mesoporous molecular sieve.

A novel route to heterogenize an organorhenium(VII) oxide, derived from the well examined methyltrioxorhenium(VII) (MTO), on the surface of an iodosilane-modified MCM-41 is applied. The successful grafting of the -CH(2)-ReO3 moiety on the surface was evidenced by 1H CP MAS NMR, IR spectroscopy, TG-MS, and elemental analysis. XRD and TEM analyses confirm the retaining of long-range ordering throughout the grafting process.

Heterogenisation of CpMo(CO)3Cl on mesoporous materials and its application as olefin epoxidation catalyst.

CpMo(CO)(3)Cl reacts with the hydroxyl (Si-OH or Si-OH-Al) functionalities of mesoporous molecular sieves such as MCM-41, MCM-48 and its aluminium analogues during grafting. XRD, N(2) adsorption-desorption, BET surface area analysis and TEM show the resulting samples as being well ordered and maintaining a uniform pore size. FT-IR spectra, elemental analysis, (13)C and (29)Si CP MAS NMR spectra confirm the successful grafting.
