The effect of positioning cations on acidity and stability of the framework structure of Y zeolite.

ABSTRACT: The investigation on the modification of NaY zeolite on LaHY and AEHY (AE refers Ca and Sr and the molar ratio of Ca and Sr is 1:1) zeolites was proformed by XRD, N2-physisorption (BET), XRF, XPS, NH3-TPD, Py-IR, hydrothermal stability, and catalytic cracking test. These results indicate that HY zeolite with ultra low content Na can be obtained from NaY zeolite through four exchange four calcination method. The positioning capability of La(3+) in sodalite cage is much better than that of AE(2+) and about 12 La(3+) can be well coordinated in sodalite cages of one unit cell of Y zeolite. Appropriate acid amount and strength favor the formation of propylene and La(3+) is more suitable for the catalytic cracking of cyclohexane than that of AE(2+). Our results not only elaborate the variation of the strong and weak acid sites as well as the Brönsted and Lewis acid sites with the change of exchanged ion content but also explore the influence of hydrothermal aging of LaHY and AEHY zeolites and find the optimum ion exchange content for the most reserved acid sites. At last, the coordination state and stabilization of ion exchanged Y zeolites were discussed in detail.

Molecular Bismuth Cations: Assessment of Soft Lewis Acidity.

Project description:Three-coordinate cationic bismuth compounds [Bi(diaryl)(EPMe3 )][SbF6 ] have been isolated and fully characterized (diaryl=[(C6 H4 )2 C2 H2 ]2- , E=S, Se). They represent rare examples of molecular complexes with Bi⋅⋅⋅EPR3 interactions (R=monoanionic substituent). The 31 P NMR chemical shift of EPMe3 has been found to be sensitive to the formation of LA⋅⋅⋅EPMe3 Lewis acid/base interactions (LA=Lewis acid). This corresponds to a modification of the Gutmann-Beckett method and reveals information about the hardness/softness of the Lewis acid under investigation. A series of organobismuth compounds, bismuth halides, and cationic bismuth species have been investigated with this approach and compared to traditional group 13 and cationic group 14 Lewis acids. Especially cationic bismuth species have been shown to be potent soft Lewis acids that may prefer Lewis pair formation with a soft (S/Se-based) rather than a hard (O/N-based) donor. Analytical techniques applied in this work include (heteronuclear) NMR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and DFT calculations.

Relating alkaline stability to the structure of quaternary phosphonium cations.

Project description:Alkali-stable quaternary phosphonium (QP) is a type of cationic group for hydroxide exchange membranes (HEMs). To elucidate the relationship between structure and alkaline stability, we investigated the kinetics and degradation mechanism of a series of QP cations by both experiment and computation, and established a semi-empirical formula based on the Taft equation to directly estimate alkaline stability of QP cations from the 31P NMR chemical shift δ and the steric substituent constant E s, facilitating the search for QP cations with improved alkaline stability.

Simulating Crystal Structure, Acidity, Proton Distribution, and IR Spectra of Acid Zeolite HSAPO-34: A High Accuracy Study.

Project description:It is a challenge to characterize the acid properties of microporous materials in either experiments or theory. This study presents the crystal structure, acid site, acid strength, proton siting, and IR spectra of HSAPO-34 from the SCAN + rVV10 method. The results indicate: the crystal structures of various acid sites of HSAPO-34 deviate from the space group of R3¯; the acid strength inferred from the DPE value likely decreases with the proton binding sites at O(2), O(4), O(1),and O(3), contrary to the stability order in view of the internal energy; the calculated ensemble-averaged DPE is about 1525 kJ/mol at 673.15 K; and the proton siting and the proton distribution are distinctly influenced by the temperature: at low temperatures, the proton is predominantly located at O(3), while it prefers O(2) at high temperatures, and the proton at O(4) assumedly has the least distribution at 273.15-773.15 K. In line with the neutron diffraction experiment, a correction factor of 0.979 is needed to correct for the calculated hydroxyl stretching vibration (ν(O-H)) of HSAPO-34. It seems that the SCAN meta-GGA method, compensating for some drawbacks of the GGA method, could provide satisfying results regarding the acid properties of HSAPO-34.

Measurement of the effect of monovalent cations on RNA hairpin stability.

Project description:Using optical tweezers, we have measured the effect of monovalent cation concentration and species on the folding free energy of five large (49-124 nt) RNA hairpins, including HIV-1 TAR and molecules approximating A.U and G.C homopolymers. RNA secondary structure thermodynamics are accurately described by a model consisting of nearest-neighbor interactions and additive loop and bulge terms. Melting of small (<15 bp) duplexes and hairpins in 1 M NaCl has been used to determine the parameters of this model, which is now used extensively to predict structure and folding dynamics. Few systematic measurements have been made in other ionic conditions or for larger structures. By applying mechanical force, we measured the work required to fold and unfold single hairpins at room temperature over a range of cation concentrations from 50 to 1000 mM. Free energies were then determined using the Crooks fluctuation theorem. We observed the following: (1) In most cases, the nearest-neighbor model accurately predicted the free energy of folding at 1 M NaCl. (2) Free energy was proportional to the logarithm of salt concentration. (3) Substituting potassium ions for sodium slightly decreased hairpin stability. The TAR hairpin also misfolded nearly twice as often in KCl, indicating a differential kinetic response. (4) Monovalent cation concentration affects RNA stability in a sequence-dependent manner. G.C helices were unaffected by changing salt concentration, A.U helices were modestly affected, and the hairpin loop was very sensitive. Surprisingly, the U.C.U bulge of TAR was found to be equally stable in all conditions tested. We also report a new estimate for the elastic parameters of single-stranded RNA.

Effect of the Spiroiminodihydantoin Lesion on Nucleosome Stability and Positioning.

Project description:DNA is constantly under attack by oxidants, generating a variety of potentially mutagenic covalently modified species, including oxidized guanine base products. One such product is spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp), a chiral, propeller-shaped lesion that strongly destabilizes the DNA helix in its vicinity. Despite its unusual shape and thermodynamic effect on double-stranded DNA structure, DNA duplexes containing the Sp lesion form stable nucleosomes upon being incubated with histone octamers. Indeed, among six different combinations of lesion location and stereochemistry, only two duplexes display a diminished ability to form nucleosomes, and these only by ?25%; the other four are statistically indistinguishable from the control. Nonetheless, kinetic factors also play a role: when the histone proteins have less time during assembly of the core particle to sample both lesion-containing and normal DNA strands, they are more likely to bind the Sp lesion DNA than during slower assembly processes that better approximate thermodynamic equilibrium. Using DNase I footprinting and molecular modeling, we discovered that the Sp lesion causes only a small perturbation (±1-2 bp) on the translational position of the DNA within the nucleosome. Each diastereomeric pair of lesions has the same effect on nucleosome positioning, but lesions placed at different locations behave differently, illustrating that the location of the lesion and not its shape serves as the primary determinant of the most stable DNA orientation.

Modulating inherent lewis acidity at the intergrowth interface of mortise-tenon zeolite catalyst.

Project description:The acid sites of zeolite are important local structures to control the products in the chemical conversion. However, it remains a great challenge to precisely design the structures of acid sites, since there are still lack the controllable methods to generate and identify them with a high resolution. Here, we use the lattice mismatch of the intergrown zeolite to enrich the inherent Lewis acid sites (LASs) at the interface of a mortise-tenon ZSM-5 catalyst (ZSM-5-MT) with a 90° intergrowth structure. ZSM-5-MT is formed by two perpendicular blocks that are atomically resolved by integrated differential phase contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (iDPC-STEM). It can be revealed by various methods that novel framework-associated Al (AlFR) LASs are generated in ZSM-5-MT. Combining the iDPC-STEM results with other characterizations, we demonstrate that the partial missing of O atoms at interfaces results in the formation of inherent AlFR LASs in ZSM-5-MT. As a result, the ZSM-5-MT catalyst shows a higher selectivity of propylene and butene than the single-crystal ZSM-5 in the steady conversion of methanol. These results provide an efficient strategy to design the Lewis acidity in zeolite catalysts for tailored functions via interface engineering.

The Effect of Heat Treatment on the Structure of Zeolite A.

Project description:Knowledge about the thermal properties of zeolites is extremely important due to their potential application in the chemical industry. In this work, the thermal stability and the dehydration process of zeolite A were investigated by in situ high temperature Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The progress of thermal decomposition that zeolite A underwent during the controlled temperature increase in the range of 25-600 °C was determined by the DRIFT spectroscopic method. Infrared spectra are presented and discussed for this compound on the basis of the crystal structure. Based on the courses of the obtained DRIFT spectra, it was found that, during heating, water was gradually removed from the structure of the material, followed by dehydration and formation of hydrogen bonds. It was established that the process of thermal degradation began as early as 550 °C. The analysis of the obtained results of structural tests can be repeated on other materials from the zeolite group and complements the research work on the thermal analysis of these materials.

On the location of Lewis acidic aluminum in zeolite mordenite and the role of framework-associated aluminum in mediating the switch between Bronsted and Lewis acidity.

Project description:Lewis acidic aluminum in zeolites, particularly acidity that is inherent to the framework, is an indeterminate concept. A fraction of framework aluminum changes geometry to octahedral coordination in the proton form of zeolite mordenite. Such octahedrally coordinated aluminum is the precursor of a Lewis acid site and its formation is accompanied by a loss in Brønsted acidity. Herein, we show that such Lewis acid sites have a preferred location in the pore structure of mordenite. A greater proportion of these Lewis acid sites resides in the side-pockets than in the main channel. By reverting the octahedrally coordinated aluminum back to a tetrahedral geometry, the corresponding Brønsted acid sites are restored with a concomitant loss in the ability to form Lewis acid sites. Thereby, reversible octahedral-tetrahedral aluminum coordination provides a means to indirectly switch between Lewis and Brønsted acidity. This phenomenon is unique to Lewis acidity that is inherent to the framework, thereby distinguishing it from Lewis acidity originating from extra-framework species. Furthermore, the transformation of framework aluminum into octahedral coordination is decoupled from the generation of distorted tetrahedrally coordinated aluminum, where the latter gives rise to the IR band at 3660 cm-1 in the OH stretching region.

Tuning the zeolite acidity enables selectivity control by suppressing ketene formation in lignin catalytic pyrolysis.

Project description:Unveiling catalytic mechanisms at a molecular level aids rational catalyst design and selectivity control for process optimization. In this study, we find that the Brønsted acid site density of the zeolite catalyst efficiently controls the guaiacol catalytic pyrolysis mechanism. Guaiacol demethylation to catechol initiates the reaction, as evidenced by the detected methyl radicals. The mechanism branches to form either fulvenone (c-C5H4 = C = O), a reactive ketene intermediate, by catechol dehydration, or phenol by acid-catalyzed dehydroxylation. At high Brønsted acid site density, fulvenone formation is inhibited due to surface coordination configuration of its precursor, catechol. By quantifying reactive intermediates and products utilizing operando photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy, we find evidence that ketene suppression is responsible for the fivefold phenol selectivity increase. Complementary fulvenone reaction pathway calculations, along with 29Si NMR-MAS spectroscopy results corroborate the mechanism. The proposed, flexible operando approach is applicable to a broad variety of heterogeneous catalytic reactions.
