Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202405950. [PMID: 38735848 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202405950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
Vapor-phase propylene (C3H6) epoxidation kinetics with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) strongly reflects the physical properties of Ti-incorporated zeolite catalysts and the presence of spectating molecules ("solvent") near active sites even without a bulk liquid phase. Steady-state turnover rates of C3H6 epoxidation and product selectivities vary by orders of magnitudes, depending on the zeolite silanol ((SiOH)x) density, pore topology (MFI, *BEA, FAU), and the quantity of condensed acetonitrile (CH3CN) molecules nearby active sites, under identical reaction mechanisms sharing activated H2O2 intermediates on Ti surfaces. Individual kinetic analyses for propylene oxide (PO) ring-opening, homogeneous diol oxidative cleavage, and homogeneous aldehyde oxidation reveal that secondary reaction kinetics following C3H6 epoxidation responds more sensitively to the changes in zeolite physical properties and pore condensation with CH3CN. Thus, higher PO selectivities achieved in hydrophilic Ti-MFI at steady-state reflect the preferential stabilization of transition states for C3H6 epoxidation (a primary reaction) relative to PO ring-opening and oxidative cleavage (secondary reactions) that solvation effects that reflect interactions among condensed CH3CN within pores and the extended pore structure.

Abstract
Catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added chemicals is of pivotal importance, well the cost of capturing CO2 from dilute atmosphere is super challenge. One promising strategy is combining the adsorption and transformation at one step, such as applying alkali solution that could selectively reduce carbonate (CO3 2-) as consequences of CO2 adsorption. Due to complexity of this system, the mechanistic details on controlling the hydrogenation have not been investigated in depth. Herein, Ru/TiO2 catalyst was applied as a probe to elucidate the mechanism of CO3 2- activation, in which with thermodynamic and kinetic investigations, a compact Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction model was established which suggests that the overall rate of CO3 2- hydrogenation was controlled by a specific C-O bond rupture elementary step within HCOO- and the Ru surface was mainly covered by CO3 2- or HCOO- at independent conditions. This assumption was further supported by negligible kinetic isotope effects (kH/kD≈1), similarity on reaction barriers of CO3 2- and HCOO- hydrogenation (ΔH≠ hydr,Na2CO3 and ΔH≠ hydr,HCOONa) and a non-variation of entropy (ΔS≠ hydr≈0). More interestingly, the alkalinity of the solution is certainly like a two sides in a sword and could facilitate the adsorption of CO2 while hold back catalysis during CO3 2- hydrogenation.

Abstract
Solvent effects in catalytic reactions have received widespread attention as they can promote reaction rates and product selectivities by orders of magnitude. It is well accepted that the stable five-membered cyclic intermediates formed between the solvent molecules and Ti species are crucial to the alkene epoxidation in a heterogeneous Ti(IV)-H2O2 system. However, the direct spectroscopic evidence of these intermediates is still missing and the corresponding reaction pathway for the alkene epoxidation remains unclear. By combining in situ 13C MAS NMR, two-dimensional (2D) 1H-13C heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) NMR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations, the five-membered ring structures, where the protic solvents (ROH), and aprotic solvent (acetone), coordinate and stabilize the active Ti species, are identified for the first time over Ti-Beta/H2O2 system. Moreover, the role of these cyclic intermediates in the alkene epoxidation/hydration conversion is clarified. These results provide new insights into the solvent effect in liquid-phase epoxidation/hydration reactions over Ti(IV)-H2O2 system.

Abstract
Epoxides are important bulk chemicals, playing irreplaceable role in the chemical industry, but facing serious pollution and low productivity in the production process. Therefore, the development of green and efficient epoxidation of olefins by stable catalysts with low prices is of great significance. In this study, a Mo-MATP catalyst was prepared by modifying Mo(CO)₆ on attapulgite through Si-O bonding. Mo-MATP exhibits excellent performance (99% yield of cyclooctane oxide, CYCO) and stability (80% selectivity of CYCO after 17 cycles), highly tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) utilization, and extensive substrate scalability. Furthermore, the in-situ Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Electron Spin-resonance Spectroscopy (ESR) and High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) spectra suggest that TBHP would be activated by Mo-MATP to generate peroxyl radicals, which then oxidize alkenes to their corresponding epoxides. In this study, the stable loading of Mo would largely solve the problem of Mo loss during the catalytic process, thus providing a stable and dispersed Mo active center, enabling the catalyst to possess high catalytic performance and recycling stability.

Abstract
In zeolite frameworks, double four-ring (d4r) configurations are among the most frequent composite building units. The composition variations in d4r units greatly influence the energy and structural modifiability of the zeolitic framework. The introduction of germanium, with a larger ionic radius than silicon or aluminum, not only reduces the energy constraints of d4r in the nucleation and crystal growth of zeolites, but also opens a new window for constructing novel crystalline structures, especially with large or extra-large pores and channels. Ge-enriched d4r units endow germanosilicates with structure diversity readily for post treatments. Promising catalytic materials have been gradually developed and increasingly studied by direct synthesis or post-synthetic isomorphous substitution for Ge. This review focuses on the recent progress in the synthesis, modification, and catalytic application of d4r-containing zeolites, including germanosilicates, aluminosilicates, and silicates.

Abstract
Selective aerobic epoxidation of alkenes without any additives is of great industrial importance but still challenging because the competitive side reactions including C═C bond cleavage and isomerization are difficult to avoid. Here, we show fabricating Cu(I) single sites in pristine multivariate metal-organic frameworks (known as CuCo-MOF-74) via partial reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I) ions during solvothermal reaction. Impressively, CuCo-MOF-74 is characteristic with single Cu(I), Cu(II), and Co(II) sites, and they exhibit the substantially enhanced selectivity of styrene oxide up to 87.6% using air as an oxidant at almost complete conversion of styrene, ∼25.8% selectivity increased over Co-MOF-74, as well as good catalytic stability. Contrast experiments and theoretical calculation indicate that Cu(I) sites contribute to the substantially enhanced selectivity of epoxides catalyzed by Co(II) sites. The adsorption of two O2 molecules on dual Co(II) and Cu(I) sites is favorable, and the projected density of state of the Co-3d orbital is closer to the Fermi level by modulating with Cu(I) sites for promoting the activation of O2 compared with dual-site Cu(II) and Co(II) and Co(II) and Co(II), thus contributing to the epoxidation of the C═C bond. When other kinds of alkenes are used as substrates, the excellent selectivity of various epoxides is also achieved over CuCo-MOF-74. We also prove the universality of fabricating Cu(I) sites in other MOF-74 with various divalent metal nodes.

Abstract
Metal substitution of molecular sieve systems is a major driving force in developing novel catalytic processes to meet current demands of green chemistry concepts and to achieve sustainability in the chemical industry and in other aspects of our everyday life. The advantages of metal-substituted molecular sieves include high surface areas, molecular sieving effects, confinement effects, and active site and morphology variability and stability. The present review aims to comprehensively and critically assess recent advances in the area of tetra- (Ti, Sn, Zr, Hf) and pentavalent (V, Nb, Ta) metal-substituted molecular sieves, which are mainly characterized for their Lewis acidic active sites. Metal oxide molecular sieve materials with properties similar to those of zeolites and siliceous molecular sieve systems are also discussed, in addition to relevant studies on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and some composite MOF systems. In particular, this review focuses on (i) synthesis aspects determining active site accessibility and local environment; (ii) advances in active site characterization and, importantly, quantification; (iii) selective redox and isomerization reaction applications; and (iv) photoelectrocatalytic applications.

Abstract
With the consumption of fossil fuels, the level of CO2 in the atmosphere is growing rapidly, which leads to global warming. Hence, the chemical conversion of CO2 into high value-added products is one of the most important approaches to reducing CO2 emissions. Due to being simple, inexpensive and environmentally friendly, the direct synthesis of cyclic carbonates from olefins and CO2 is a promising project for industrial application. In this review, we discuss the design of the homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic system for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from the reaction of olefins and CO2. Usually, the catalyst contains the epoxidation active site and the cycloaddition active site, which could achieve the oxidation of oleifins and the CO2-insert, respectively. This review will provide a comprehensive overview of the direct synthesis of cyclic carbonates from olefins and CO2 catalyzed by homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. The focus mainly lies on the rational fabrication of multifunctional catalysts, and provides a new perspective for the design of catalysts.

Abstract
The chemical industry is considered to be one of the largest consumers of energy in the manufacturing sector. As the cost of energy is rising rapidly, coupled with the increasingly stringent standards for the release of harmful chemicals and gases into the environment, more attention is now focused on developing energy efficient chemical processes that could significantly reduce both operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Alkene epoxidation is an important chemical process as the resultant epoxides are highly reactive compounds that are used as platform chemicals for the production of commercially important products for flavours, fragrances, paints and pharmaceuticals. A number of epoxidation methods have been developed over the past decade with the ultimate aim of minimising waste generation and energy consumption. In this review paper, some of the recent advances in epoxides synthesis using energy efficient processes are discussed. The epoxidation methods may provide sustainability in terms of environmental impact and energy consumption.

Abstract
Activation of inert propylene to produce propylene oxide (PO) is critical, but still faces some challenges in realizing higher PO selectivity and productivity. Herein, a temperature-controlled phase transfer catalyst (MoOO·DMF) is prepared for the liquid-phase epoxidation of propylene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant, which exhibit the selectivity of 90.6% and the productivity of 1286.42·h-1 for PO (catalyst/propylene = 0.77 mol‰). Some experimental factors (solvent types, reaction temperature, contact time, the dosage of catalyst, TBHP and substrate) were investigated, and the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics are discussed. MoOO·DMF has the characteristic of both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, which can be dissolved in the solvent at higher temperatures and separated from the solvent after reaction by lowering the temperature. Importantly, MoOO·DMF has a wonderful epoxidation performance for many olefins (e.g., light olefins, linear α-olefins, cyclic olefins and others). The mechanisms are proved by in-situ FT-IR, ESR and HRMS spectrum to be the selective oxygen transfer from tert-butyl peroxide radical and the MoOO bridge in MoOO·DMF to propylene. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the MoOO bridge in catalyst is the key role for the activation of both the OH bond in TBHP and the CC bond in propylene, thus enhanced the epoxidation of propylene.

Abstract
Solvent molecules interact with reactive species and alter the rates and selectivities of catalytic reactions by orders of magnitude. Specifically, solvent molecules can modify the free energies of liquid phase and surface species via solvation, participating directly as a reactant or co-catalyst, or competitively binding to active sites. These effects carry consequences for reactions relevant for the conversion of renewable or recyclable feedstocks, the development of distributed chemical manufacturing, and the utilization of renewable energy to drive chemical reactions. First, we describe the quantitative impact of these effects on steady-state catalytic turnover rates through a rate expression derived for a generic catalytic reaction (A → B), which illustrates the functional dependence of rates on each category of solvent interaction. Second, we connect these concepts to recent investigations of the effects of solvents on catalysis to show how interactions between solvent and reactant molecules at solid-liquid interfaces influence catalytic reactions. This discussion demonstrates that the design of effective liquid phase catalytic processes benefits from a clear understanding of these intermolecular interactions and their implications for rates and selectivities.
