Mesoporous Silica Sphere

A rattle-type diamine-functionalized mesoporous silica sphere (DA-RMSS) was fabricated stepwise using a self-templating method through cationic surfactant assisted selective etching strategy. The rattle-type morphology of the obtained DA-RMSS material was disclosed by transmission electron microscopy, while its chemical composition was characterized by CHN elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and solid-state 29Si cross-polarization/magic-angle-spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic measurement, which corroborates the successful formation of siloxane network and the incorporation of organic component. Moreover, nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherm measurement was conducted to reveal that DA-RMSS possesses large Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area of 814 m2g–1, pore volume of 0.78 cm3g–1, and narrow pore size distribution centered at 3.0 nm. Furthermore, its uptake property on carbon dioxide was also investigated in this contribution.

A low-density polyethylene was hydrocracked to liquid hydrocarbons in autoclave reactors over catalysts containing Pt- and Al-modified MCM-48. Two kinds of Al-modified MCM-48 were synthesized for the reaction: Al-MCM-48 was synthesized using a sol–gel method by mixing Al(iso-OC3H7)3 with Si(OC2H5)4 and surfactant in a basic aqueous solution before hydrothermal synthesis, and Al/MCM-48 was synthesized using a post-modification method by grafting Al3+ ions on the surface of calcined Al/MCM-48. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicated that both Al-MCM-48 and Al/MCM-48 had a cubic mesoporous structure. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface areas of Al-MCM-48 and Al/MCM-48 were larger than 1000 m2/g. 27Al Magic Angle Spinning-NMR (MAS NMR) indicated that Al3+ in Al-MCM-48 was located inside the framework of mesoporous silica, but Al3+ in Al/MCM-48 was located outside the framework of mesoporous silica. The results of ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) showed that the acidic strength of various samples was in the order of H-Y > Al/MCM-48 > Al-MCM-48 > MCM-48. After 4 MPa H2 was charged in the autoclave at room temperature, 1 wt % Pt/Al/MCM-48 catalyst showed a high yield of C9−C15 jet fuel range hydrocarbons of 85.9% in the hydrocracking of polyethylene at 573 K for 4 h. Compared with the reaction results of Pt/Al/MCM-48, the yield of light hydrocarbons (C1−C8) increased over Pt/H-Y, and the yield of heavy hydrocarbons (C16−C21) increased over Pt/Al-MCM-48 in the hydrocracking of polyethylene. The yield of C9−C15 jet fuel range hydrocarbons over the used catalyst did not decrease compared to the fresh catalyst in the hydrocracking of polyethylene to jet fuel range hydrocarbons over Pt/Al/MCM-48.

Mesoporous Organosilicas

The preparation of novel organic-inorganic hybrid mesoporous organosilica containing pyridinedicarboxamide functional groups uniformly distributed inside the nanostructured pore walls has been addressed. The mesoporosity and uniformity of the synthesized nanomaterials were characterized by different techniques such as nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurements and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Additionally, the presence of the pyridinedicarboxamide in the pore walls of the nanomaterials was assessed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), as well as 29Si and 13C solid-state cross-polarization and magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (CP/MAS-NMR). The Knoevenagel condensation of aldehydes with active methylene compounds was carried out over the pyridinedicarboxamide functionalized mesoporous organosilica, which has been proven to be an efficient heterogeneous basic catalyst in the presence of ethanol as solvent. The catalytic activity of the investigated materials was investigated in the Knoevenagel condensation between malononitrile and several benzaldehyde derivatives exhibiting a high conversion (>90%) and excellent selectivity toward the final condensation products under very mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, the catalyst stability is noteworthy as it could be recycled and reused at least twelve times without any significant change in the performance.

Two series of composite micro/mesoporous materials with different contributions of micro- and mesoporosity were prepared by dealumination and recrystallization of mordenite zeolite. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, 27Al magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, and temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (TPD NH3). Catalytic properties were studied in transalkylation of biphenyl with diisopropylbenzene. Both types of composite materials showed remarkably high activity, stability, and selectivity toward formation of di-isopropylbiphenyls with respect to both pure microporous and mesoporous materials. The effect is due to high zeolitic acidity combined with improved accessibility of active sites and transport of bulky molecules provided by mesopores.

ABSTRACTThe Santa Mónica Church is one of the most representative buildings in Guadalajara, Mexico as it is the finest Solomonic Baroque temple in the city. The church was built in the XVIII century with different types of volcanic tuffs, which have been studied from the macroscopic level to the structural level with the aim to determine the deterioration degree of the church’s tuffs.Textural, morphological and structural properties of Tuff were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR ATR) and 29Si and 27Al magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR), nitrogen adsorption-desorption techniques, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), compressive strength tests were also performed.Characterization data has provided a comprehensive view of the alterations on the volcanic tuff of Santa Mónica Church. Then the study focused on proposing the best strategy for the understanding and conservation of Churches and other buildings in Guadalajara which have been built with the same stone. Currently, siliceous materials doped with aluminum are being tested as consolidate.

In this paper, we report on an entirely novel way of improving the MAS-DNP efficiency by shaped μw pulse train irradiation for fast and broad-banded (FAB) saturation of the electron spin resonance. FAB-DNP achieved with Arbitrary Wave Generated shaped μw pulse trains facilitates effective and selective saturation of a defined fraction of the total electron spins, and provides superior control over the DNP efficiency under MAS. Experimental and quantum-mechanics based numerically simulated results together demonstrate that FAB-DNP significantly outperforms CW-DNP when the EPR-line of PAs is broadened by conformational distribution and exchange coupling. We demonstrate that the maximum benefit of FAB DNP is achieved when the electron spin-lattice relaxation is fast relative to the MAS frequency, i.e. at higher temperatures and/or when employing metals as PAs. Calculations predict that under short T<sub>1e </sub>conditions AWG-DNP can achieve as much as ~4-fold greater enhancement compared to CW-DNP.
