Abstract
Modern industry of advanced polyolefins extensively uses Group 4 metallocene and post-metallocene catalysts. High-throughput polyolefin technologies demand the use of heterogeneous catalysts with a given particle size and morphology, high thermal stability, and controlled productivity. Conventional Group 4 metal single-site heterogeneous catalysts require the use of high-cost methylalumoxane (MAO) or perfluoroaryl borate activators. However, a number of inorganic phases, containing highly acidic Lewis and Brønsted sites, are able to activate Group 4 metal pre-catalysts using low-cost and affordable alkylaluminums. In the present review, we gathered comprehensive information on MAO- and borate-free activating supports of different types and discussed the surface nature and chemistry of these phases, examples of their use in the polymerization of ethylene and α-olefins, and prospects of the further development for applications in the polyolefin industry.

Abstract
Two fluorinated γ-Al2O3 series were synthesized by a sol-gel method with two solvents (2-propanol and 2-butanol), two aluminium sources (ATB and ATP) and one fluorine source (Na3AlF6). The resulting inorganic matrixes were evaluated to characterize aluminium and fluorine species ([AlO45-], [AlO57-], [AlO69-], [AlF4-], [AlF52-] and [AlF63-]) by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), 27Al magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (27Al MAS-NMR) and infrared spectroscopy (IR-ATR). BET and BJH analyses using the nitrogen isotherms of these materials allowed identifying a clear trend in some textural parameters such as specific surface area and fluorine content. These results were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Chemical affinity and acid surface properties were evidenced with colour shifts in two groups of hybrid pigments, prepared with natural anthocyanins (Brassica oleracea) and betacyanins (Bougainvillea glabra).

Abstract
In this work, the structure and surface acidity of nano AlF3 prepared by the ethylene glycol-mediated sol-gel process, followed by different post treatments including post-fluorination and calcination, were systematically investigated. FT-IR, elemental analysis, XPS and TG-DTA-MS results indicate the ethylene glycol strongly interacts with the as-prepared AlF3 precursor, thus stabilizing the formed nano particles. MAS NMR spectroscopy combined with in situ FT-IR and HRTEM techniques reveal that AlF6, AlO6-xFx and AlO6 species are present in the resulting X-ray amorphous nano AlF3. The fraction of AlF6 species formed after post-fluorination significantly increases, whereas more AlO6-xFx species are formed just after calcination. After a comparable post-fluorination treatment, the CHClF2 dismutation activity at room temperature indicates that nano AlF3 prepared according the ethylene glycol-mediated route does not possess the same super-strong acidity as HS-AlF3 prepared by the fluorolytic sol-gel method, although NH3-TPD and N2-sorption results indicate larger BET surface areas and high concentration of acid sites for the former as compared to the latter. This might be rationalized based on the absence of terminal fluorine species and the presence of a significant number of AlO6-xFx and AlO6 species in the resulting nano AlF3 as revealed by 27Al, 19F MAS NMR and HRTEM. An interesting consequence is that these oxygen-containing species stabilize the microstructure of AlF3 formed, resulting in improved thermal stability of these phases as compared to "classically" prepared HS-AlF3.

Abstract
Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) and cyclic hydrofluorocarbons (c-HFCs) have been the most favored alternatives of the ozone depletion substances; however, because of the poor performance of the present chlorine/fluorine (Cl/F) exchange catalysts, the development and production of HFOs and c-HFCs are hindered. Here, we first report a novel and facile route to fabricate high-performance Cl/F exchange catalysts via a metal-organic framework (MOF) carbonization method. The MOF-derived catalyst not only has high selectivity but also can significantly lower the reaction temperature. Moreover, benefiting from the stable structure and coke-inhibiting ability, the MOF-derived catalyst has a long service life compared with the traditional precipitation method. Furthermore, the nanoscopic MOF-derived catalyst can greatly reduce the Cr dosage, which would help to minimize the risk of Cr contamination.
