Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new type of amphiphobic fluorinated surface-active ionic liquid (FSAIL) that can dissolve in water based on temperature changes.
- The FSAILs, containing specific anions, showed reduced solubility in both water and organic solvents compared to similar compounds without fluorine.
- These FSAILs effectively catalyzed the epoxidation of olefins using hydrogen peroxide, demonstrating high efficiency and the ability to be reused through phase separation and distillation after ten cycles.
Optimising catalyst materials for visible light-driven fuel production requires understanding complex and intertwined processes including light absorption and catalyst stability, as well as mass, charge, and energy transport. These phenomena can be uniquely combined (and ideally controlled) in porous host-guest systems. Towards this goal we designed model systems consisting of molecular complexes as catalysts and porphyrin metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as light-harvesting and hosting porous matrices.
