Abstract
Bio-based polymers are materials of high interest given the harmful environmental impact that involves the use of non-biodegradable fossil products for industrial applications. These materials are also particularly interesting as bio-based ligands for the preparation of metal nanoparticles (MNPs), employed as catalysts for the synthesis of high value chemicals. In the present study, Ru (0) and Rh(0) Metal Nanoparticles supported on Sodium Carboxymethyl cellulose (MNP(0)s-CMCNa) were prepared by simply mixing RhCl3x3H2O or RuCl3 with an aqueous solution of CMCNa, followed by NaBH4 reduction. The formation of MNP(0)s-CMCNa was confirmed by FT-IR and XRD, and their size estimated to be around 1.5 and 2.2 nm by TEM analysis. MNP(0)s-CMCNa were employed for the hydrogenation of (E)-cinnamic aldehyde, furfural and levulinic acid. Hydrogenation experiments revealed that CMCNa is an excellent ligand for the stabilization of Rh(0) and Ru(0) nanoparticles allowing to obtain high conversions (>90 %) and selectivities (>98 %) with all substrates tested. Easy recovery by liquid/liquid extraction allowed to separate the catalyst from the reaction products, and recycling experiments demonstrated that MNPs-CS were highly efficiency up to three times in best hydrogenation conditions.

Abstract
Bio-based polymers are attracting increasing interest as alternatives to harmful and environmentally concerning non-biodegradable fossil-based products. In particular, bio-based polymers may be employed as ligands for the preparation of metal nanoparticles (M(0)NPs). In this study, chitosan (CS) was used for the stabilization of Ru(0) and Rh(0) metal nanoparticles (MNPs), prepared by simply mixing RhCl3 × 3H2O or RuCl3 with an aqueous solution of CS, followed by NaBH4 reduction. The formation of M(0)NPs-CS was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Their size was estimated to be below 40 nm for Rh(0)-CS and 10nm for Ru(0)-CS by SEM analysis. M(0)NPs-CS were employed for the hydrogenation of (E)-cinnamic aldehyde and levulinic acid. Easy recovery by liquid-liquid extraction made it possible to separate the catalyst from the reaction products. Recycling experiments demonstrated that M(0)NPs-CS were highly efficient up to four times in the best hydrogenation conditions. The data found in this study show that CS is an excellent ligand for the stabilization of Rh(0) and Ru(0) nanoparticles, allowing the production of some of the most efficient, selective and recyclable hydrogenation catalysts known in the literature.

Nickel-Tin Nanoalloy Supported ZnO Catalysts from Mixed-Metal Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks for Selective Conversion of Glycerol to 1,2-Propanediol. CHEMSUSCHEM 2024; 17:e202301315.

Abstract
The successful synthesis of finely tuned Ni1.5 Sn nanoalloy phases containing ZnO catalyst with a small particle size (6.7 nm) from a mixed-metal zeolitic imidazolate framework (MM-ZIF) is investigated. The catalyst was evaluated for the efficient production of 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO) from crude glycerol and comprehensively characterized using several analytical techniques. Among the catalysts, 3Ni1Sn/ZnO (Ni/Sn=3/1) showed the best catalytic performance and produced the highest yield (94.2 %) of 1,2-PDO at ~100 % conversion of glycerol; it also showed low apparent activation energy (15.4 kJ/mol) and excellent stability. The results demonstrated that the synergy between Ni-Sn alloy, finely dispersed Ni metallic sites, and the Lewis acidity of SnOx species-loaded ZnO played a pivotal role in the high activity and selectivity of the catalyst. The confirmation of acetol intermediate and theoretical calculations verify the Ni1.5 Sn phases provide the least energetic pathway for the formation of 1,2-PDO selectively. The reusability of solvent for successive ZIF synthesis, along with the excellent recyclability of the ZIF-derived catalyst, enables an overall sustainable process. We believe that the present synthetic protocol that uses MM-ZIF for the conversion of various biomass-derived platform chemicals into valuable products can be applied to various nanoalloy preparations.

Core-shell metal-organic framework/silica hybrid with tunable shell structure as stationary phase for high performance liquid chromatography. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1705:464164. [PMID: 37419017 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.464164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/09/2023]
Abstract
Metal-organic framework/silica composite (SSU) were prepared by growing UiO-66 on the amino-functionalized SiO2 core-shell spheres (SiO2@dSiO2) via a simple one-pot synthesis approach. By controlling the concentration of Zr4+, the obtained SSU have two different morphologies: spheres-on-sphere and layer-on-sphere. The spheres-on-sphere structure is formed by the aggregation of UiO-66 nanocrystals on the surface of SiO2@dSiO2 spheres. SSU-5 and SSU-20, which contain spheres-on-sphere composites have mesopores with a pore size of about 45 nm in addition to the characteristic micropores of UiO-66 with a pore size of 1 nm. In addition, UiO-66 nanocrystals were grown both inside and outside the pores of SiO2@dSiO2, resulting in a 27% loading of UiO-66 in the SSU. The layer-on-sphere is the surface of SiO2@dSiO2 covered with a layer of UiO-66 nanocrystals. SSU with this structure has only a characteristic pore size of about 1 nm belonging to UiO-66 and is therefore not suitable as a packed stationary phase for high performance liquid chromatography. The SSU spheres were packed into columns and tested for the separation of xylene isomers, aromatics, biomolecules, acidic and basic analytes. With both micropores and mesopores, SSU with spheres-on-sphere structure achieved baseline separation of both small and large molecules. Efficiencies up to 48,150, 50,452 and 41,318 plates m - 1 were achieved for m-xylene, p-xylene and o-xylene, respectively. The relative standard deviations of the retention times of anilines for run-to-run, day-to-day and column-to-column were all less than 6.1%. The results show that the SSU with spheres-on-sphere structure has great potential for high performance chromatographic separation.

Abstract
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), one of the most important platform molecules in biorefinery, can be directly obtained from a vast diversity of biomass materials. Owing to the reactive functional groups (-CHO and -CH2 OH) in the structure, this versatile building block undertakes several transformations to provide a wealth of high value-added products. Among numerous well-established paradigms, the catalytic hydrogenation of 5-HMF towards 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran (BHMTHF) is of great interest because this downstream diol can be exploited in a wide range of industrial applications. Not surprisingly, incessant endeavors from both academia and industry to upgrade this catalytic process have been established over the years. The main aim of this Review was to provide a comprehensive overview on the development of heterogeneous metal catalysts for the 5-HMF-to-BHMTHF transformation. Herein, the rational design and utility of hydrogenating catalysts were elaborated in many aspects including metal types (Ni, Co, Pd, Ru, Pt, and bimetals), solid supports, preparation method, recyclability, operating conditions, and reaction regime (batch and continuous flow). In addition, the assessment of cooperative catalysts to convert carbohydrates into BHMTHF under one-pot cascade, tentative mechanism, as well as prospects and challenges for the chemo-selective hydrogenation of 5-HMF were also highlighted.
