This systematic study delves into the synthesis and characterization of robust bi-functional aminopropyl-tagged periodic mesoporous organosilica with a high loading of small imidazolium bridges in its framework (PrNH@R-PMO-IL, ∼2 mmol g of IL). The materials proved to be a reliable and enduring support for the immobilization of Ru species, demonstrating strong performance and excellent selectivity in the -bromination of various derivatives of 2-phenylpyridine compounds and other heterocycles, showcasing its effectiveness and robust nature. The synthesized materials were thoroughly characterized to determine their structural properties, such as pore size distribution, loading of organic groups, and surface area, using various analytical techniques.

Article Synopsis
  • Poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) (P4HB) is a biodegradable polymer traditionally made through complex and costly genetic engineering processes involving 1,4-butanediol (BDO).
  • A new catalytic method using a ruthenium-phosphine system for the oxidation of BDO has shown improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness, converting BDO into valuable products like γ-butyrolactone and oligomeric P4HB.
  • This approach not only enhances production yield but also offers the potential for sustainable and large-scale manufacturing of high-value polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) from non-grain feedstocks.

Hyper-cross-linked polymers (HCPs) enable the tailored synthesis of functionalized materials and provide a versatile design strategy for porous macroligands. Based on the prototypical triphenylphosphine (PPh) monomer, we investigate the role of the involved cross-linking reagents in the formation of polyphosphines and evaluate structure-activity relations for application in the catalytic CO hydrogenation: namely by varying the Friedel-Crafts catalyst, the cross-linker unit and the degree of cross-linking. The study of monomeric reactivities shows that phosphines are insufficiently activated by iron chloride catalyzed cross-linking and that the stronger aluminum chloride is required to ensure PPh incorporation.

The field of sustainable heterogeneous catalysis is evolving rapidly, with a strong emphasis on developing catalysts that enhance efficiency. Among various heterogeneous photocatalysts, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained significant attention for their exceptional performance in photocatalytic reactions. In this context, contrary to the conventional homogeneous iridium or ruthenium-based photocatalysts, which face significant challenges in terms of availability, cost, scalability, and recyclability, a new Ba/Ti MOF (ACM-4) is developed as a heterogeneous catalyst that can mimic/outperform the conventional photocatalysts, offering a more sustainable solution for efficient chemical processes.

Herein, we report a study on the preparation, properties, and depolymerization of pristine and vulcanized poly(cyclopentene) (poly(CP)), poly(norbornene--cyclopentene) (poly(NB--CP)) and poly(-dicyclopentadiene--cyclopentene) (poly (DCP--CP)). First, poly(CP), poly(NB--CP) and poly(DCP--CP) were prepared with high molecular weight control ( = 200 000-500 000) using dichloro(3-phenyl-1-inden-1-ylidene)bis(tricyclohexylphosphine)ruthenium(ii). Next, carbon black, zinc oxide and other additives were blended into the pristine polymers using a mixer and twin roll rubber mills at 50 °C, followed by vulcanization in metal molds at 160 °C for 10 min, resulting in molded black rubber specimens.
