An organic polar hydrate was obtained through cocrystallization of 2,4-diaminotoluene (2,4-DAT) and L(+)-tartaric acid (TA) from ethanol. Dehydration behavior of the obtained hydrate was investigated using variable temperature powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and thermal analysis. Proton transfer from L(+)-TA to 2,4-DAT in both hydrate and dehydrated form was revealed via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The crystal structures of both forms were determined using PXRD techniques. The similarities and differences between two crystal structures were analyzed and the role of water in the hydrate crystal structure was demonstrated.

LaAlO3 perovskites, as such and with 25% molar Al substitution by Cu, Co, or Ga, have been prepared by sol-gel methods and tested as heterogeneous catalysts in the gas-phase conversion of ethanol. LaAlO3 presented a significant acidic character, with high formation of ethylene by ethanol dehydration. B-site substitutions increased the basicity of the catalysts, favoring the dehydrogenation of ethanol to acetaldehyde. The most reducible Cu- and Co-substituted materials, characterized by easier formation of surface oxygen vacancies, promoted the self-condensation of acetaldehyde by the Tishchenko mechanism, with formation of acetone and odd-carbon number products. Aldol coupling of acetaldehyde, favored on pure and Ga-substituted LaAlO3, led to the formation of butadiene and hexadiene. The role of Ga insertion, favoring both dehydrogenation of ethylene and dehydration of higher alcohols, corresponds to an amphoteric character. The formation of olefins and diolefins on all catalysts suggests that LaAl-based materials present the most acidic character among La-perovskites.

The upgrading of bioethanol to n-butanol has recently been a focus of considerable attention due to the advantages of n-butanol over bioethanol as a sustainable fuel. The efficiency of this reaction is highly dependent on the development of catalysts, where understanding how catalysts perform is essential. However, traditional catalysts are normally composed of several kinds of active sites that work together synergistically in reactions, making it challenging to identify the role that individual active sites play. Herein, we synthesized three chromium-based MOFs ((MIL-101(Cr), where MIL stands for Matériaux Institut Lavoisier) with different Lewis acidities but without any basic sites. The linear relationship between Lewis acidities and their dehydration and condensation abilities suggests that there is a competition between the ethanol dehydration to diethyl ether and acetaldehyde condensation on Lewis acids. Upon the introduction of Pd, the Lewis acidity also dominates the particle size of Pd and then the dehydrogenation and hydrogenating abilities of catalysts.
