Article Abstract
The molecular titanosilicate [(BuO)SiO]TiNEt (1) was obtained from the reaction between silanol (BuO)SiOH and titanium amide Ti(NEt). The reaction of 1 with alkali metal hydroxides MOH (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) offers a straightforward route to the alkaline salts of titanosilicates [MOTi{OSi(OBu)}] with a terminal Ti-O moiety. All compounds were characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Hirshfeld atom refinement and QTAIM analysis of the electron density in 1 and in the Rb salt 5 revealed the D-A nature of the Ti-O and Ti-N bonds and the presence of agostic C-H⋯Rb interactions.

Amorphous mesoporous materials are promising as catalysts for processes involving or forming bulk molecules. In a reaction such as acetone condensation to form mesitylene, an effective catalyst should not only have a developed porous structure but also have active centers of acidic and basic types. The sol-gel approach allows one to obtain titanosilicates with such characteristics.

In this study, Zirconium-modified Engelhard Titanium Silicate 4 (Na-K-ETS-4/xZr) catalysts were synthesized and evaluated for their photocatalytic efficiency in degrading crystal violet (CV) and methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solutions. The catalysts were characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM, WDXRF, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms. The results confirmed the successful incorporation of Zr into the ETS-4 framework, with the highest Zr content reaching 9.

Polyolefins are the most widely produced type of plastics owing to their low production cost and favorable properties. Their polymer backbone consists solely of inert C-C bonds, making them resistant and durable materials. Although this is an extremely useful attribute during their use phase, it complicates chemical recycling.

Article Synopsis
- The direct conversion of propylene to propylene oxide (PO) using molecular oxygen offers a highly efficient production method, known as aerobic epoxidation, but faces challenges in balancing conversion rates and PO selectivity.
- Researchers have found that Ti-Beta zeolites with isolated titanium species can effectively catalyze this reaction, achieving a consistent propylene conversion of 25% along with a PO selectivity of up to 90%, comparable to industrial methods for ethylene.
- The study highlights that specific titanium sites in the zeolite frameworks facilitate the reaction; these findings may lead to more sustainable practices in PO production within the chemical industry.

A simple method for the direct transformation of Sr-exchanged titanosilicate with the sitinakite structure (IONSIV) into ceramic material through cold pressing and subsequent sintering at 1100 °C for 4 h is presented. The temperature transformation of Sr-exchanged sitinakite showed the stages of recrystallization of the material with the formation of Sr-Ti phases matsubaraite (SrTi[SiO]O), jeppeite (SrTiO), tausonite (SrTiO), and rutile. Leaching experiments showed the efficiency of fixation of Sr cations in a ceramic matrix; extraction into water does not exceed 0.
