Ordered mesoporous silica, SBA-15 and MCM-41, and three-dimensionally ordered macroporous SiO2 were used as the supports of H4PMo11VO40 heteropolyacid for methacrolein oxidation. The dispersion and structural evolutions of the heteropolyacid along with thermal treatment were investigated. It was found that the heteropolyacid entered the one-dimensional mesoporous channels of SBA-15 and MCM-41, and the crystallization and growth were limited, leading to high dispersion of the heteropolyacid. However, the thermal stability was decreased under high dispersion. The migration of the heteropolyacid was observed to the end of the one-dimensional channels of SBA-15 and the outer surface of MCM-41 with calcination, accompanied by the decomposition of the heteropolyacid and the formation of MoO3. In comparison, the crystallization and growth of heteropolyacid were not limited in the open macropores of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous SiO2. Dispersed particles on the surface of the macropores with size of about 5 nm exhibited a higher thermal stability. The decomposition of the heteropolyacid in the SBA-15 and MCM-41 supported catalysts resulted in the loss of strong acid sites, causing low selectivity to methacrylic acid in methacrolein oxidation. High thermal stability with high exposure of the active sites in the three-dimensionally ordered macroporous SiO2 supported catalyst contributed to the enhancement in the catalytic performance.

One-dimensional (1D) polynuclear Cu(II) complex (1) derived from (5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide (H2L) is synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, ESI-MS, and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Its catalytic performance towards the solvent-free microwave-assisted peroxidative oxidation of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons under mild conditions is compared with that of dinuclear Cu(II) complexes (2 and 3) of the same ligand, previously reported as antiproliferative agents. Polymer 1 exhibits the highest activity, either for the oxidation of cyclohexane (leading to overall yields, based on the alkane, of up to 39% of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone) or towards the oxidation of toluene (selectively affording benzaldehyde up to a 44% yield), after 2 or 2.5 h of irradiation at 80 or 50 °C, respectively.

Direct alcohol fuel cells are highly promising as efficient power sources for various mobile and portable applications. However, for the further advancement of fuel cell technology it is necessary to develop new, cost-effective Pt-free electrocatalysts that could provide efficient alcohol oxidation and also resist cross-over poisoning. Here, we report new electrocatalytic materials for ethylene glycol oxidation, which are based on AuAg linear nanostructures. We demonstrate a low temperature tunable synthesis that enables the preparation of one dimensional (1D) AuAg nanostructures ranging from nanowires to a new nano-necklace-like structure. Using a two-step method, we showed that, by aging the initial reaction mixture at various temperatures, we produced ultrathin AuAg nanowires with a diameter of 9.2 ± 2 and 3.8 ± 1.6 nm, respectively. These nanowires exhibited a high catalytic performance for the electro-oxidation of ethylene glycol with remarkable poisoning resistance. These results highlight the benefit of 1D metal alloy-based nanocatalysts for fuel cell applications and are expected to make an important contribution to the further development of fuel cell technology.

Detailed insight into molecular diffusion in zeolite frameworks is crucial for the analysis of the factors governing their catalytic performance in methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) reactions. In this work, we present a molecular dynamics study of the diffusion of methanol in all-silica and acidic zeolite MFI and Beta frameworks over the range of temperatures 373–473 K. Owing to the difference in pore dimensions, methanol diffusion is more hindered in H-MFI, with diffusion coefficients that do not exceed 10 × 10−10 m2s−1. In comparison, H-Beta shows diffusivities that are one to two orders of magnitude larger. Consequently, the activation energy of translational diffusion can reach 16 kJ·mol−1 in H-MFI, depending on the molecular loading, against a value for H-Beta that remains between 6 and 8 kJ·mol−1. The analysis of the radial distribution functions and the residence time at the Brønsted acid sites shows a greater probability for methylation of the framework in the MFI structure compared to zeolite Beta, with the latter displaying a higher prevalence for methanol clustering. These results contribute to the understanding of the differences in catalytic performance of zeolites with varying micropore dimensions in MTH reactions.

The hydrothermal reaction of (NH4)3[CoMo6O24H6]·7H2O (CoMo6 ), CuCl2·2H2O and 2,2′-biimidazole (H2biim) led to the formation of a new coordination polymer, namely poly[diaquabis(2,2′-biimidazole)hexa-μ3-oxo-octa-μ2-oxo-hexaoxodicopper(II)hexamolybdate(VI)], [Cu2Mo6O20(C6H6N4)2(H2O)2] n (Cu-Mo6O20 ), at pH 2–3. It is obvious that in the formation of crystalline Cu-Mo6O20 , the original Anderson-type skeleton of heteropolymolybdate CoMo6 was broken and the new isopolyhexamolybdate Mo6O20 unit was assembled. In Cu-Mo6O20 , one Mo6O20 unit connects four [Cu(H2biim)(H2O)]2+ ions in a pentacoordinate mode via four terminal O atoms, resulting in a tetra-supported structure, and each CuII ion is shared by two adjacent Mo6O20 units. Infinite one-dimensional chains are established by linkage between two adjacent Mo6O20 units and two CuII ions, and these chains are further packed into a three-dimensional framework by hydrogen bonds, π–π interactions and electrostatic attractions. The catalytic performance of this crystalline material used as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous acid catalyst for carbonyl-group protection is discussed. In addition, Cu-Mo6O20 was applied as a new support for enzyme (horseradish peroxidase, HRP) immobilization, forming immobilized enzyme HRP/Cu-Mo6O20 . HRP/Cu-Mo6O20 showed good catalytic activity and could be reused.
