Abstract
We study the effects of a planar interface and confinement on a generic catalytically activated ring-closing polymerization reaction near an unstructured catalyst. For this, we employ a coarse-grained polymer model using grand-canonical molecular dynamics simulations with a Monte Carlo reaction scheme. Inspired by recent experiments in the group of M. Buchmeiser that demonstrated an increase in ring-closing selectivity under confinement, we show that both the interface effects, i.e., placing the catalyst near a planar wall, and the confinement effects, i.e., locating the catalyst within a pore, lead to an increase of selectivity. We furthermore demonstrate that curvature effects for cylindrical mesopores (2 nm < d < 12.3 nm) influence the distribution of the chain ends, leading to a further increase in selectivity. This leads us to speculate that specially corrugated surfaces might also help to enhance catalytically activated polymerization processes.

Abstract
Polymeric mesoporous monoliths were prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) from norbornene (NBE), 1,4,4a,5,8,8a-hexahydro-1,4,5,8-exo,endo-dimethanonaphthalene (DMN-H6), tris(norborn-2-enylmethylenoxy)methylsilane and the 1st-generation Grubbs catalyst [RuCl2(PCy3)2(CHC6H5)] in the presence of 2-propanol and toluene and surface grafted with 1-(2-((norborn-5-ene-2-carbonyl)oxy)ethyl)-3-ethyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate. Subsequently, a supported ionic-liquid-phase (SILP) system was created by immobilizing the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIM][BF4] with the cationic catalyst [Rh((1-pyrid-1-yl)-3-mesitylimidazol-2-ylidene)(COD)+BF4-] (Rh-1; COD = 1,4-cyclooctadiene) dissolved therein. The regio- and stereoselectivity of Rh-1 dissolved in the IL and supported on the mesoporous monolith, referred to as Rh@SILPROMP, in the hydrosilylation of 1-alkynes with HSiMe2Ph was studied and compared to that of the homogeneous catalyst Rh-1 under biphasic conditions using methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) as a second organic phase. Different amounts of IL were used, which allowed for the creation of SILPs with different layer thicknesses. Rh@SILPROMP provided by far better β-(Z) selectivity for both aromatic and aliphatic 1-alkynes in comparison to Rh-1 used under biphasic conditions. The highest β-(Z) selectivity was obtained with the thinnest IL layer. No leaching of the IL or rhodium from the SILP system into the organic phase was observed, resulting in virtually metal-free hydrosilylation products. The data obtained with Rh@SILPROMP were also compared with those from previous studies with Rh-1 in the same IL supported on polyurethane-derived mesoporous monolithic supports (Rh@SILPPUR) and on mesoporous SBA-15 (Rh@SILPSBA-15). For the first time, the use of a liquid confinement created by both a SILP and the support itself to tune the transition state of an organometallic catalyst by non-covalent interactions and thus stereo- and regioselectivity is outlined.

Abstract
Visible light induced polymerizations are a strongly emerging field in recent years. Besides the often mild reaction conditions, visible light offers advantages of spatial and temporal control over chain growth, which makes visible light ideal for functionalization of surfaces and more specifically of nanoscale pores. Current challenges in nanopore functionalization include, in particular, local and highly controlled polymer functionalizations. Using spatially limited light sources such as lasers or near field modes for light-induced polymer functionalization is envisioned to allow local functionalization of nanopores and thereby improve nanoporous material performance. These light sources are usually providing visible light while classical photopolymerizations are mostly based on UV-irradiation. In this review, we highlight developments in visible light induced polymerizations and especially in visible light induced controlled polymerizations as well as their potential for nanopore functionalization. Existing examples of visible light induced polymerizations in nanopores are emphasized.

Abstract
Zeolite chemistry and catalysis are expected to play a decisive role in the next decade(s) to build a more decentralized renewable feedstock-dependent sustainable society owing to the increased scrutiny over carbon emissions. Therefore, the lack of fundamental and mechanistic understanding of these processes is a critical "technical bottleneck" that must be eliminated to maximize economic value and minimize waste. We have identified, considering this objective, that the chemistry related to the first-generation reaction intermediates (i.e., carbocations, radicals, carbenes, ketenes, and carbanions) in zeolite chemistry and catalysis is highly underdeveloped or undervalued compared to other catalysis streams (e.g., homogeneous catalysis). This limitation can often be attributed to the technological restrictions to detect such "short-lived and highly reactive" intermediates at the interface (gas-solid/solid-liquid); however, the recent rise of sophisticated spectroscopic/analytical techniques (including under in situ/operando conditions) and modern data analysis methods collectively compete to unravel the impact of these organic intermediates. This comprehensive review summarizes the state-of-the-art first-generation organic reaction intermediates in zeolite chemistry and catalysis and evaluates their existing challenges and future prospects, to contribute significantly to the "circular carbon economy" initiatives.

Abstract
Molecularly defined and classical heterogeneous Mo-based metathesis catalysts are shown to display distinct and unexpected reactivity patterns for the metathesis of long-chain α-olefins at low temperatures (<100 °C). Catalysts based on supported Mo oxo species, whether prepared via wet impregnation or surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC), exhibit strong activity dependencies on the α-olefin chain length, with slower reaction rates for longer substrate chain lengths. In contrast, molecular and supported Mo alkylidenes are highly active and do not display such dramatic dependence on the chain length. State-of-the-art two-dimensional (2D) solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy analyses of postmetathesis catalysts, complemented by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and molecular dynamics calculations, evidence that the activity decrease observed for supported Mo oxo catalysts relates to the strong adsorption of internal olefin metathesis products because of interactions with surface Si-OH groups. Overall, this study shows that in addition to the nature and the number of active sites, the metathesis rates and the overall catalytic performance depend on product desorption, even in the liquid phase with nonpolar substrates. This study further highlights the role of the support and active site composition and dynamics on activity as well as the need for considering adsorption in catalyst design.

Abstract
AbstractThe effect of immobilized $$\upbeta$$
β
-cyclodextrin (bCD) molecules inside a mesoporous silica support on the uptake of benzene and p-nitrophenol from aqueous solution was investigated using all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The calculated adsorption isotherms are discussed with respect to the free energies of binding for a 1:1 complex of bCD and the aromatic guest molecule. The adsorption capacity of the bCD-containing material significantly exceeds the amount corresponding to a 1:1 binding scenario, in agreement with experimental observations. Beside the formation of 1:2 and, to a lesser extent, 1:3 host:guest complexes, also host–host interactions on the surface as well as more unspecific host–guest interactions govern the adsorption process. The demonstrated feasibility of classical all-atom MD simulations to calculate liquid phase adsorption isotherms paves the way to a molecular interpretation of experimental data that are too complex to be described by empirical models.
