Metal-salen molecular cages as efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalysts for cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides under ambient conditions.

ABSTRACT: A salen based molecular cage, salen@cage, was synthesized and complexed with Co and Al to yield metal-salen molecular cages, Co(ii)@cage, Co(iii)@cage and Al(iii)@cage. These cages were demonstrated to be efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the cycloaddition of CO2 with styrene oxide, achieving full conversion at 25 °C and 1 atm CO2. Good to excellent yields of various cyclic carbonates were also achieved under mild conditions. Al(iii)@cage can be reused up to five times without any significant loss of its high catalytic activity. The capability to access a variety of heterogeneous organometallic catalysts with salen@cage offers new prospects for practical CO2 utilization and chemical manufacturing.

Mechanistic Studies Inform Design of Improved Ti(salen) Catalysts for Enantioselective [3 + 2] Cycloaddition.

Project description:Ti(salen) complexes catalyze the asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition of cyclopropyl ketones with alkenes. While high enantioselectivities are achieved with electron-rich alkenes, electron-deficient alkenes are less selective. Herein, we describe mechanistic studies to understand the origins of catalyst and substrate trends in an effort to identify a more general catalyst. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the selectivity determining transition state revealed the origin of stereochemical control to be catalyst distortion, which is largely influenced by the chiral backbone and adamantyl groups on the salicylaldehyde moieties. While substitution of the adamantyl groups was detrimental to the enantioselectivity, mechanistic information guided the development of a set of eight new Ti(salen) catalysts with modified diamine backbones. These catalysts were evaluated with four electron-deficient alkenes to develop a three-parameter statistical model relating enantioselectivity to physical organic parameters. This statistical model is capable of quantitative prediction of enantioselectivity with structurally diverse alkenes. These mechanistic insights assisted the discovery of a new Ti(salen) catalyst, which substantially expanded the reaction scope and significantly improved the enantioselectivity of synthetically interesting building blocks.

Dataset for the synthesis and application of single-component heterogeneous catalysts based on zinc and tin for the cycloaddition of pure, diluted, and impure CO2 to epoxides under mild conditions.

Project description:The cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides under mild conditions is a growing field of research and a viable strategy to recycle CO2 in the form of cyclic carbonates as useful intermediates, solvents, and additives. This target requires readily accessible and recyclable catalysts whose synthesis does not involve expensive monomers, multistep procedures, coupling reagents, etc. Additionally, the catalysts should be active under atmospheric pressure and tolerate impurities such as methane and H2S. In a recent manuscript (Rational engineering of single-component heterogeneous catalysts based on abundant metal centers for the mild conversion of pure and impure CO2 to cyclic carbonates; Chemical Engineering Journal 422 (2021) 129930) we have developed strategies to prepare efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the cycloaddition reaction of CO2 to epoxides. Such materials consist of dispersions of metal halides (ZnCl2 or SnCl4) on silica support that is further functionalized with ionic liquids bearing nucleophilic halide moieties for cooperative epoxide activation and ring-opening. Herein, we provide useful complementary data for the characterization of the prepared materials in the form of: SEM images of materials (SEM: scanning electron microscope), SEM-EDS images of materials (EDS: Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), TEM images of materials (TEM: transmission electron microscope); XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) survey spectra of most active catalysts and related high-resolution spectra in spectral regions of interest, BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) physisorption isotherms of materials, raw 1H NMR spectra of catalytic reactions to verify the reproducibility of the reaction outcome and identify the reaction products.

A magnetically recyclable photocatalyst with commendable dye degradation activity at ambient conditions.

Project description:An efficient, economical, environment-friendly and easy separable catalyst to treat environmental contaminants is an enduring attention in recent years due to their great potential for environmental protection and remediation. Here we have reported the excellent performance of polyaniline activated heterojunctured Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 catalyst to degrade azo dye in an aqueous solution at ambient condition. The catalyst was prepared via a simple facile polymerization procedure. The physicochemical properties and structure of the synthesized catalyst was confirmed by TGA, PXRD, FTIR, SEM, HRTEM, XPS, EDX, and DRS techniques. The developed catalyst has shown an accelerated degradation ability of an organic pollutant Orange ll Sodium salt azo dye about 100% for the dye concentration of 50 ppm within five minutes at ambient conditions with 1?g/l loading of catalyst. Simple facile synthesis, easy separation by an external magnet, good reusability and high degradation capability of the catalyst may promote the practical applications of the heterostructured catalyst at ambient condition for water remediation. The present study also explored possible credible charge transfer directions and mechanism of photocatalysis supported by trapping experiments and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement for the effective improvement of photocatalytic activity and enhancement of the visible light adsorption.

Synthesis of Chiral Allylic Esters by Using the New Recyclable Chiral Heterogeneous Oxazoline-Based Catalysts.

Project description:A new class of recyclable supported chiral heterogeneous ligands has been synthesized by the reaction of functionalized mesoporous SBA-15 with aliphatic- and aromatic-substituted chiral amino oxazoline ligands. The obtained chiral heterogeneous ligands were characterized by several techniques such as Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and BET-BJH. The application of these new heterogeneous ligands in copper-catalyzed asymmetric allylic oxidation of olefins by using perester showed better yields up to 95% and better enantioselectivities up to 96% compared to the corresponding homogeneous catalysts. These findings can be considered as an important step in the advancement of green chemistry. Investigation of the recyclability of the catalysts confirmed that they were easily recovered and reused eight times without significant losses in reactivity, yield, and enantioselectivity.

On-demand Hydrogen Production from Organosilanes at Ambient Temperature Using Heterogeneous Gold Catalysts.

Project description:An environmentally friendly ("green"), H2-generation system was developed that involved hydrolytic oxidation of inexpensive organosilanes as hydrogen storage materials with newly developed heterogeneous gold nanoparticle catalysts. The gold catalyst functioned well at ambient temperature under aerobic conditions, providing efficient production of pure H2. The newly developed size-selective gold nanoparticle catalysts could be separated easily from the reaction mixture containing organosilanes, allowing an on/off-switchable H2-production by the introduction and removal of the catalyst. This is the first report of an on/off-switchable H2-production system employing hydrolytic oxidation of inexpensive organosilanes without requiring additional energy.

Theoretical study on preference of open polymer vs. cyclic products in CO2/epoxide copolymerization with cobalt(III)-salen bifunctional catalysts.

Project description:The preference of open chain of growing macromolecule vs. possible cyclic form was examined for the bifunctional cobalt(III)-salen catalyst for the copolymerization of CO2 with epoxides. A variety of possible isomers was considered (resulting from trans/cis-? salen arrangement, different mutual orientation of quaternary ammonium-chains, and possible binding modes). To explore the conformational space, a combined approach was applied, utilizing semiempirical (PM7) MD and the DFT calculations. The preference of the open and cyclic macromolecules attached to the metal center was compared with the corresponding results for isolated model macromolecules, and the systems built of the macromolecule interacting with the tetra-butyl ammonium cation. Result shows that the cyclic structures are strongly preferred for isolated ions, with relatively low cyclization barriers. In the field of positive point charge, the open structures are strongly preferred. For the ions interacting with tetrabutyl ammonium cation, the cyclic structures are preferred, due to delocalization of the positive charge in the cation. For the complexes involving model and "real" Co(III)-salen catalysts, the open structures are strongly preferred. The possible cyclization by dissociation of alkoxide and its transfer to the neighborhood of quaternary ammonium cation is characterized by high activation barriers. Further, the transfer of alkoxide from the metal center to the cation is less likely than the transfer of carbonate, since the metal-alkoxide bond-energy energy is much stronger than energy of metal-carbonate bonding, as shown by ETS-NOCV results. The conclusions are in qualitative agreement with experimental data showing high selectivity towards copolymer formation in the copolymerization processes catalyzed by bifunctional Co(III) salen-complexes.

Laminaria digitata and Palmaria palmata Seaweeds as Natural Source of Catalysts for the Cycloaddition of CO? to Epoxides.

Project description:Seaweed powder has been found to act as an effective catalyst for the fixation of CO? into epoxides to generate cyclic carbonates under solvent free conditions. Model background reactions were performed using metal halides and amino acids typically found in common seaweeds which showed potassium iodide (KI) to be the most active. The efficacy of the seaweed catalysts kelp (Laminaria digitata) and dulse (Palmaria palmata) was probed based on particle size, showing that kelp possessed greater catalytic ability, achieving a maximum conversion and selectivity of 63.7% to styrene carbonate using a kelp loading of 80% by weight with respect to epoxide, 40 bar of CO?, 120 °C for 3 h. Maximizing selectivity was difficult due to the generation of diol side product from residual H?O found in kelp, along with a chlorinated by-product thought to form due to a high quantity of chloride salts in the seaweeds. Data showed there was loss of organic matter upon use of the kelp catalyst, likely due to the breakdown of organic compounds and their subsequent removal during product extraction. This was highlighted as the likely cause of loss of catalytic activity upon reuse of the Kelp catalyst.

Towards recyclable NAD(P)H regeneration catalysts.

Project description:Rh(III)-TsDPEN, an immobilized analog of the well-known [Cp*Rh(bpy)(H(2)O)](2+) was evaluated as a heterogeneous, recyclable regeneration catalyst for reduced oxidoreductase cofactors [NAD(P)H]. Repeated use of this catalyst was established and the catalytic properties were initially investigated. Apparently, Rh(III)-TsDPEN is prone to severe diffusion limitations, necessitating further developments. Overall, a promising concept for chemoenzymatic redox catalysis is proposed, which may overcome some of the current limitations such as catalyst cost and incompatibility of Rh with some biocatalysts.

CO2 Cycloaddition to Epoxides by using M-DABCO Metal-Organic Frameworks and the Influence of the Synthetic Method on Catalytic Reactivity.

Project description:A series of high-quality M2(BDC)2(DABCO) metal-organic frameworks (abbreviated as M-DABCO; M=Zn, Co, Ni, Cu; BDC=1,4-benzene dicarboxylate; DABCO=1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane), were synthesized by using a solvothermal (SV) method, and their catalytic activity for the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides in the absence of a co-catalyst or solvent was demonstrated. Of these metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), Zn-DABCO exhibited very high activity and nearly complete selectivity under moderate reaction conditions. The other members of this MOF series (Co-DABCO, Ni-DABCO, and Cu-DABCO) displayed lower activity in the given sequence. Samples of Zn-DABCO, Co-DABCO, and Ni-DABCO were recycled at least three times without a noticeable loss in catalytic activity. The reaction mechanism can be attributed to structural defects along with the acid-base bifunctional characteristics of these MOFs. Moreover, we illustrate that the synthetic method of M-DABCO influences the yield of the reaction. In addition to the SV method, Zn-DABCO was synthesized by using spray drying due to its industrial attractiveness. It was found that the synthesis procedure clearly influenced the crystal growth and thus the physicochemical properties, such as surface area, pore volume, and gas adsorption, which in turn affected the catalytic performance. The results clarified that although different synthetic methods can produce isostructural MOFs, the application of MOFs, especially as catalysts, strongly depends on the crystal morphology and textural properties and, therefore, on the synthesis method.

Capture and conversion of CO2 at ambient conditions by a conjugated microporous polymer.

Project description:Conjugated microporous polymers are a new class of porous materials with an extended ?-conjugation in an amorphous organic framework. Owing to the wide-ranging flexibility in the choice and design of components and the available control of pore parameters, these polymers can be tailored for use in various applications, such as gas storage, electronics and catalysis. Here we report a class of cobalt/aluminium-coordinated conjugated microporous polymers that exhibit outstanding CO2 capture and conversion performance at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. These polymers can store CO2 with adsorption capacities comparable to metal-organic frameworks. The cobalt-coordinated conjugated microporous polymers can also simultaneously function as heterogeneous catalysts for the reaction of CO2 and propylene oxide at atmospheric pressure and room temperature, wherein the polymers demonstrate better efficiency than a homogeneous salen-cobalt catalyst. By combining the functions of gas storage and catalysts, this strategy provides a direction for cost-effective CO2 reduction processes.
