Strong cation···? interactions promote the capture of metal ions within metal-seamed nanocapsule.

ABSTRACT: Thallium ions are transported to the interior of gallium-seamed pyrogallol[4]arene nanocapsules. In comparison to the capture of Cs ions, the extent of which depends on the type and position of the anion employed in the cesium salt, the enhanced strength of Tl···? vs Cs···? interactions facilitates permanent entrapment of Tl(+) ions on the capsule interior. "Stitching-up" the capsule seam with a tertiary metal (Zn, Rb, or K) affords new trimetallic nanocapsules in solid state.

Interactions of Whey Proteins with Metal Ions.

Project description:Whey proteins tend to interact with metal ions, which have implications in different fields related to human life quality. There are two impacts of such interactions: they can provide opportunities for applications in food and nutraceuticals, but may lead to analytical challenges related to their study and outcomes for food processing, storage, and food interactions. Moreover, interactions of whey proteins with metal ions are complicated, requiring deep understanding, leading to consequences, such as metalloproteins, metallocomplexes, nanoparticles, or aggregates, creating a biologically active system. To understand the phenomena of metal-protein interactions, it is important to develop analytical approaches combined with studies of changes in the biological activity and to analyze the impact of such interactions on different fields. The aim of this review was to discuss chemistry of β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin, and lactotransferrin, their interactions with different metal ions, analytical techniques used to study them and the implications for food and nutraceuticals.

Oxidative strong metal-support interactions (OMSI) of supported platinum-group metal catalysts.

Project description:Supported platinum-group metal (PGM) catalysts are widely used in many important industrial processes. Metal-support interaction is of great importance in tailoring their catalytic performance. Here, we report the first example of oxidative strong metal-support interactions (OMSIs) between PGM and hydroxyapatite (HAP) which can be extended to PGM and ZnO. It occurred under high-temperature oxidation conditions accompanied by the encapsulation of PGM by HAP and electron transfer between PGM and HAP. With this OMSI, the aggregation and leaching of PGMs were significantly inhibited, resulting in an excellent catalytic stability and much improved reusability of supported Pt and Pd catalysts, respectively. This is the first time to find that PGMs can manifest OMSI which benefits the stabilization of PGM catalysts under oxidative reaction conditions. This new type of SMSI not only contributed to a deeper understanding of SMSI but also provided a new way to develop new stable PGM catalysts.

Harnessing strong metal-support interactions via a reverse route.

Project description:Engineering strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) is an effective strategy for tuning structures and performances of supported metal catalysts but induces poor exposure of active sites. Here, we demonstrate a strong metal-support interaction via a reverse route (SMSIR) by starting from the final morphology of SMSI (fully-encapsulated core-shell structure) to obtain the intermediate state with desirable exposure of metal sites. Using core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) as a building block, the Pd-FeOx NPs are transformed into a porous yolk-shell structure along with the formation of SMSIR upon treatment under a reductive atmosphere. The final structure, denoted as Pd-Fe3O4-H, exhibits excellent catalytic performance in semi-hydrogenation of acetylene with 100% conversion and 85.1% selectivity to ethylene at 80 °C. Detailed electron microscopic and spectroscopic experiments coupled with computational modeling demonstrate that the compelling performance stems from the SMSIR, favoring the formation of surface hydrogen on Pd instead of hydride.

Strong metal-support interactions induced by an ultrafast laser.

Project description:Supported metal catalysts play a crucial role in the modern industry. Constructing strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) is an effective means of regulating the interfacial properties of noble metal-based supported catalysts. Here, we propose a new strategy of ultrafast laser-induced SMSI that can be constructed on a CeO2-supported Pt system by confining electric field in localized interface. The nanoconfined field essentially boosts the formation of surface defects and metastable CeOx migration. The SMSI is evidenced by covering Pt nanoparticles with the CeOx thin overlayer and suppression of CO adsorption. The overlayer is permeable to the reactant molecules. Owing to the SMSI, the resulting Pt/CeO2 catalyst exhibits enhanced activity and stability for CO oxidation. This strategy of constructing SMSI can be extended not only to other noble metal systems (such as Au/TiO2, Pd/TiO2, and Pt/TiO2) but also on non-reducible oxide supports (such as Pt/Al2O3, Au/MgO, and Pt/SiO2), providing a universal way to engineer and develop high-performance supported noble metal catalysts.

Classical strong metal-support interactions between gold nanoparticles and titanium dioxide.

Project description:Supported metal catalysts play a central role in the modern chemical industry but often exhibit poor on-stream stability. The strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) offers a route to control the structural properties of supported metals and, hence, their reactivity and stability. Conventional wisdom holds that supported Au cannot manifest a classical SMSI, which is characterized by reversible metal encapsulation by the support upon high-temperature redox treatments. We demonstrate a classical SMSI for Au/TiO2, evidenced by suppression of CO adsorption, electron transfer from TiO2 to Au nanoparticles, and gold encapsulation by a TiO x overlayer following high-temperature reduction (reversed by subsequent oxidation), akin to that observed for titania-supported platinum group metals. In the SMSI state, Au/TiO2 exhibits markedly improved stability toward CO oxidation. The SMSI extends to Au supported over other reducible oxides (Fe3O4 and CeO2) and other group IB metals (Cu and Ag) over titania. This discovery highlights the general nature of the classical SMSI and unlocks the development of thermochemically stable IB metal catalysts.

Synthesis and structural characterization of complexes of a DO3A-conjugated triphenylphosphonium cation with diagnostically important metal ions.

Project description:To understand the coordination chemistry of a DO3A-conjugated triphenylphosphonium (TPP) cation, triphenyl(4-((4,7,10-tris(carboxymethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecan-1-yl)methyl)benzyl)phosphonium (DO3A-xy-TPP), with diagnostically important metal ions, In(DO3A-xy-TPP)+, Ga(DO3A-xy-TPP)+, and Mn(DO3A-xy-TPP) were prepared by reacting DO3A-xy-TPP with 1 equiv of the respective metal salt. All three complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ESI-MS, NMR methods (for In(DO3A-xy-TPP)+ and Ga(DO3A-xy-TPP)+), and X-ray crystallography. Results from HPLC concordance experiments show that (111)In(DO3A-xy-TPP)+ and In(DO3A-xy-TPP)+ have the same composition. The solid-state structures of In(DO3A-xy-TPP)+ and Mn(DO3A-xy-TPP) are very similar with DO3A being heptadentate in bonding to In(III) and Mn(II) in a monocapped octahedral coordination geometry. Because of the smaller size of Ga(III), the DO3A in Ga(DO3A-xy-TPP)+ is only hexadentate with four amine-N and two carboxylate-O atoms bonding to Ga(III). One carboxylic acid group in DO3A is deprotonated to balance the positive charge of Ga(III). The coordination geometry of Ga(DO3A-xy-TPP)+ is best described as a distorted octahedron. The NMR data shows that the coordinated DO3A in In(DO3A-xy-TPP)+ and Ga(DO3A-xy-TPP)+ is symmetrical in aqueous solution. There is no dissociation of the acetate chelating arms in In(DO3A-xy-TPP)+ and Ga(DO3A-xy-TPP)+, providing indirect evidence for the high solution stability of (111)In(DO3A-xy-TPP)+ and (68)Ga(DO3A-xy-TPP)+.

Efficient Capture of Heavy Metal Ions and Arsenic with a CaY-Carbonate Layered Double-Hydroxide Nanosheet.

Project description:Nanosheets consisting of two-dimensional (2-D) nanomaterials made up of Ca2+ (Ca), and Y3+ (Y) cations and carbonate [CO3 2-] anions in the interlayer with a uniform thickness and lengths of around 10 μm have been successfully synthesized in a hydrotalcite layer structure, otherwise known as a layered double hydroxide, using a facile hydrothermal method. The resulting CaY-CO3 2- layered double-hydroxide (LDH) materials demonstrate outstanding affinity and selectivity for toxic transition metal ions such as Cr3+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, and Hg2+ as well as metalloid As3+. The adsorption of all of the highly toxic metal ions from the aqueous solution was found to be exceptionally rapid and highly selective, with more than 95% removal achieved within 30 min. For AsO3, a strong adsorption potential of 452 mg/g was observed at pH 7.0, which is better than most values previously reported. The distribution coefficient K d values can exceed ∼106 mL/g for Cr3+, Pb2+, and As3+, which are highly toxic. The fabricated materials have excellent chemical stability: they retain their well-defined lamellar shapes even under mildly acidic conditions.

Selective coordination of three transition metal ions within a coiled-coil peptide scaffold.

Project description:Designing peptides that fold and assemble in response to metal ions tests our understanding of how peptide folding and metal binding influence one another. Here, histidine residues are introduced into the hydrophobic core of a coiled-coil trimer, generating a peptide that self-assembles upon the addition of metal ions. HisAD, the resulting peptide, is unstructured in the absence of metal and folds selectively to form an ?-helical construct upon complexation with Cu(ii) and Ni(ii) but not Co(ii) or Zn(ii). The structure, and metal-binding ability, of HisAD is probed using a combination of circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. These show the peptide is trimeric and binds to both Cu(ii) and Ni(ii) in a 1?:?1 ratio with the histidine residues involved in the metal coordination, as designed. The X-ray crystal structure of the HisAD-Cu(ii) complex reveals the trimeric HisAD peptide coordinates three Cu(ii) ions; this is the first example of such a structure. Additionally, HisAD demonstrates an unprecedented discrimination between transition metal ions, the basis of which is likely to be related to the stability of the peptide-metal complexes formed.

Strong Foam-like Composites from Highly Mesoporous Wood and Metal-Organic Frameworks for Efficient CO2 Capture.

Project description:Mechanical stability and multicycle durability are essential for emerging solid sorbents to maintain an efficient CO2 adsorption capacity and reduce cost. In this work, a strong foam-like composite is developed as a CO2 sorbent by the in situ growth of thermally stable and microporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in a mesoporous cellulose template derived from balsa wood, which is delignified by using sodium chlorite and further functionalized by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation. The surface carboxyl groups in the TEMPO-oxidized wood template (TO-wood) facilitate the coordination of the cellulose network with multivalent metal ions and thus enable the nucleation and in situ growth of MOFs including copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate [Cu3(BTC)2], zinc 2-methylimidazolate, and aluminum benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate. The TO-wood/Cu3(BTC)2 composite shows a high specific surface area of 471 m2 g-1 and a high CO2 adsorption capacity of 1.46 mmol g-1 at 25 °C and atmospheric pressure. It also demonstrates high durability during the temperature swing cyclic CO2 adsorption/desorption test. In addition, the TO-wood/Cu3(BTC)2 composite is lightweight but exceptionally strong with a specific elastic modulus of 3034 kN m kg-1 and a specific yield strength of 68 kN m kg-1 under the compression test. The strong and durable TO-wood/MOF composites can potentially be used as a solid sorbent for CO2 capture, and their application can possibly be extended to environmental remediation, gas separation and purification, insulation, and catalysis.

Guest packing motifs within a supramolecular nanocapsule and a covalent analogue.

Project description:Two hosts that utilize the hydrophobic effect to assemble and/or encapsulate guest molecules were studied. The hosts, octa-acid (OA) and hexalene diamine-linked octa-acid (HOA), were shown to complex a broad range of n-alkanes up to n-hexacosane (C26H54). A combination of (1)H NMR, NMR diffusion, COSY, and NOESY experiments revealed four different guest packing motifs, depending on the size of the guest and the nature of the host. As a function of guest size, smooth transitions from one motif to the next were observed and allowed qualification of their relative stabilities. Furthermore, although the two hosts engender ostensibly identical encapsulation environments, their different assembly properties lead to quite distinct packing-motif profiles, i.e., how the motifs change as a function of guest size.
