Abstract
Mesoporous TUD-1 and M-TUD-1 are straightforward to prepare via an environmentally benign synthesis. The resulting materials are excellent catalysts for oxidations, C–C bond forming reactions and photocatalysis. Furthermore the materials have shown potential for the slow release of drugs and as contrast agents.
The three-dimensional sponge-like mesoporous material TUD-1 is straightforward to prepare. Its synthesis can readily be modified to introduce metals into the framework of TUD-1, imparting many different catalytic activities. M-TUD-1 catalysts have proven to be very active, unlimited by diffusion and very stable. By combining two metals into one TUD-1 catalyst, synergy between Lewis and Brønsted acid sites could be induced; incorporation of zeolites similarly gave rise to synergy. In addition to successful applications in redox-, acid- and photo-catalysis TUD-1 proved to be an excellent carrier material for catalysts, enabling new applications. TUD-1 was used as a contrast agent and drug delivery system, indicating that this material is but at the beginning of its potential applications.
