Vapor-phase propylene (CH) epoxidation kinetics with hydrogen peroxide (HO) strongly reflects the physical properties of Ti-incorporated zeolite catalysts and the presence of spectating molecules ("solvent") near active sites even without a bulk liquid phase. Steady-state turnover rates of CH epoxidation and product selectivities vary by orders of magnitudes, depending on the zeolite silanol ((SiOH)) density, pore topology (MFI, *BEA, FAU), and the quantity of condensed acetonitrile (CHCN) molecules nearby active sites, under identical reaction mechanisms sharing activated HO intermediates on Ti surfaces. Individual kinetic analyses for propylene oxide (PO) ring-opening, homogeneous diol oxidative cleavage, and homogeneous aldehyde oxidation reveal that secondary reaction kinetics following CH epoxidation responds more sensitively to the changes in zeolite physical properties and pore condensation with CHCN. Thus, higher PO selectivities achieved in hydrophilic Ti-MFI at steady-state reflect the preferential stabilization of transition states for CH epoxidation (a primary reaction) relative to PO ring-opening and oxidative cleavage (secondary reactions) that solvation effects that reflect interactions among condensed CHCN within pores and the extended pore structure.

Influence of the Au-Ti Active Site of the Titanosilicate MWW Zeolite on the Catalytic Activity of Ethane Dehydrogenation in the Presence of O.

Langmuir

March 2023

Key Laboratory for Green Chemical Process of Ministry of Education, Hubei Novel Reactor & Green Chemical Technology Key Laboratory, School of Chemical Engineering and Pharmacy, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430205, People's Republic of China.

The titanosilicate zeolite with a MWW topology structure was synthesized by the atom-planting method through the dehydrochlorination of the hydroxyl group in the deboronated ERB-1 zeolite (D-ERB-1) and TiCl, and Au was further loaded with the deposition precipitation method to apply for the ethane direct dehydrogenation (DH) and dehydrogenation of ethane in the presence of O (O-DH). It was found that Au nanoparticles (NPs) below 5 nm exhibited good activity for ethane direct dehydrogenation and O-DH. The addition of titanium can not only anchor more Au but also make Au have a more dispersed homogeneous distribution.

Synthesis of a Ti-incorporated zeolite using a simple and economical method has recently become a focus of attention. The direct hydrothermal synthesis of Ti-MWW is most commonly applied; however, it is challenging to perform and exhibits low titanium utilization. An innovative strategy of synthesizing Ti-MWW is proposed in the present study by simply treating the ERB-1 precursor of an MWW-type boron silicate with a HTiF/HNO solution.

Titanium(IV) in the organic-structure-directing-agent-free synthesis of hydrophobic and large-pore molecular sieves as redox catalysts.

ChemSusChem

August 2015

Division of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry, School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, 21 Nanyang Link, 637371 (Singapore) http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/zhaoyanli/.

Titanium(IV) incorporated into the framework of molecular sieves can be used as a highly active and sustainable catalyst for the oxidation of industrially important organic molecules. Unfortunately, the current process for the incorporation of titanium(IV) requires a large amount of expensive organic molecules used as organic-structure-directing agents (OSDAs), and this significantly increases the production costs and causes environmental problems owing to the removal of OSDAs by pyrolysis. Herein, an OSDA-free process was developed to incorporate titanium(IV) into BEA-type molecular sieves for the first time.

Design of layered silicate by grafting with metal acetylacetonate for high activity and chemoselectivity in photooxidation of cyclohexane.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

April 2014

Department of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Engineering, Hiroshima University, 1-4-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima 739-8527, Japan.

We succeeded in the immobilization of Ti(IV) acetylacetonate onto interlayer surfaces of a layered silicate HUS-2 (Hiroshima University Silicate-2, Si20O40(OH)4·4[C5H14NO]) and investigated the photocatalytic acitivity of Ti-incorporated HUS-2 toward the partial oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone under solar light irradiation. XRD, SEM/EDX, (13)C CP and (29)Si MAS NMR and UV-vis measurements of Ti-incorporated HUS-2 confirmed that the isolated tetrahedral Ti species were homogeneously immobilized onto silicate sheets via Si-O-Ti covalent bond and acetylacetonate ligands were removed after calcination. Ti-incorporated HUS-2 showed ca.
