In this paper, metal-free catalysts including organic bases, ionic liquids, supported catalysts, organic copolymers and carbon materials for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates by the cycloaddition of carbon dioxide to epoxides are reviewed. Recent advances in the design of the catalysts and the understanding of the reaction mechanism are summarized and discussed. The synergistic effects of organic bases and hydrogen bond donors, organic bases and nucleophilic anions, hydrogen bond donors and nucleophilic anions and active components and supports are highlighted. The challenge is to develop metal-free catalysts suitable for carbon dioxide capture and fixation. The ultimate goal is to synthesize cyclic carbonates in a flow reactor directly using carbon dioxide from industrial flue gas at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. By using synergetic effects, a multi-functional approach can meet the design strategy of metal-free catalysts for carbon dioxide adsorption and activation as well as epoxide ring opening.展开更多

The characterization results suggest that HTS zeolite has a special hollow crystal structure and its mesopore volume is larger than that of TS-1 zeolite. The titanium species in this zeolite are composed of the framework tetrahedral Ti (IV) ions and extra-framework octahedral Ti (IV) ions, which tend to disperse into its bulk phase. This zeolite material also has been applied to catalyze the cyclohexanone oxidation process, and the products are not completely consistent with those results obtained by using TS-1 zeolite, which might be caused by their difference in pore structure and pore volume, especially the mesopore volume. Cy- clohexanone oxidation catalyzed by HTS zeolite is a representative consecutive reaction, the main target products of which are e-caprolactone, 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid and adipic acid. The effect of H202/cyclohexanone mole ratio on the cyclohexa- none conversion, the total target product selectivity, the distribution of three target products selectivity and their variations along with reaction time is also researched and analyzed, which indicate that HTS zeolite shows a high performance for the Baeyer-Villiger reaction of cyclohexanone and catalytic oxidation of 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid under mild conditions, and the quantity of active surface titanium species as well as the pore structure and mesopore volume controlling the mass diffusion rate are the key factors determining the catalytic activity of HTS zeolite and product selectivity.展开更多

The recovery and recycling performances of Ti/BMMs were investigated in the epoxidation of cyclohexene. In order to the evaluate the regeneration methods and to examine the deactivation behaviors, the deactivated Ti/BMMs catalysts were washed in chloroform or calcinated at 450 ℃ for 6 h and then activity of the recovery catalysts were examined. Meanwhile, the structure features and surface properties of the regenerated catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2-sorption analysis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravi- metric analysis, UV visible spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results showed that the typical bimodal mesoporous structure of recycled Ti/BMMs catalysts was still maintained, and the phenomenon of Ti leaching during the catalytic process and recovery was negligible. In particular, spectroscopic observations indicated that the effects of the regeneration methods on the tetrahedrally-coordinated Ti species and catalytic deactivation were remarkable. The main reasons were related to the polarities of used solvents during recovery tests, the environment medium of adsorbed water inside mesopore channels and the deposition of bulky mole- cules of by-products on the mesoporous surface.展开更多

Herein, we report the silver( I)-catalyzed carboxylative cyclization of a variety of alkynic hydrazones with carbon dioxide to produce the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazin-2-ones under mild reaction conditions. In this reaction, silver(I) salts play a π-Lewis acid role for the highly efficient activation of the alkyne moiety in the hydrazone substrates. Single-crystal X-ray analysis and NOE experiments confirm that the newly formed oxadiazinone products exhibit Z configuration. Based on control experiments and NMR studies, a mechanism including the formation of a reactive carbazate intermediate, electrophilic cyclization, and subsequent protonation is proposed. This study offers an efficient and atom- economical method for the synthesis of biologically important 1,3,4-oxadiazin-2-ones.展开更多

In order to describe the effect of 1,2-C2H4Cl2(EDC) inhibitor on the ethylene epoxidation process, the reversible reactions between EDC and vinyl chloride(VC) on the active sites of silver catalyst was introduced. According to the assumed mechanism, the hyperbolic macro-kinetic model of ethylene epoxidation over the A-type silver catalyst was established, and the macrokinetic experiments were carried out in an internal-recycle gradientless reactor operating at a pressure of 2.1 MPa and a temperature in the range of 217.8—249.0 ℃, with the gas composition(molar fraction) consisting of 15.82%—34.65% C2H4, 2.55%—7.80% O2, 0.88%—6.15% CO2, 0.15—2.61 μmol/mol of 1,2-C2H4Cl2 and 0.14—1.28 μmol/mol of C2H3 Cl. By means of the Simplex Optimal Method, the parameters of the macrokinetic models were estimated. Statistical test showed that the macrokinetic models developed for the A-type silver catalyst agree well with the experimental results.展开更多

The aim of the present research is to prepare new metal-immobilized complexes based on rice husks and to study their catalytic activity in the oxidation of cyclohexene with tert-butylhydroperoxide. The corresponding metal complexes were obtained by interaction of RRH (raw rice husks) or thermally treated WRHA in air atmosphere. The complexes were obtained from aqueous solutions of various salts such as FeCl2.4H2O, COCl2.6H2O, VOSO4.5H2O and Na2MoO4.2H2O at room temperature. The rice husks-supported metal complexes were identified by infrared spectroscopy. The structure of the iron-containing polymeric materials was evaluated by Mossbauer spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of the molybdenum-containing complex catalyst in the principal epoxidation reaction was higher than that of the vanadium-containing one, whereas, the opposite order of activities was found for the side reaction of allylic hydroxylation of cyclohexene. Under selected reaction conditions, the yields of the principal reaction products cyclohexene oxide (1,2-epoxycyclohexane) and 2-cyclohexene-1-ol were 36.4% and 22.7%, respectively.展开更多

We have shown that water acts as a catalytic promoter for propene epoxidation on gold catalysts. Even without reducible supports, hydroperoxyl (OOH) and hydroxyl (OH) radicals are readily formed on small-size gold clusters from co-adsorbed H20 and 02, with energy barriers as low as 4-6 kcal/mol (1 cal = 4.186 J). Propene epoxidation occurs easily through reactions between C3H6 and the weakened O-O bond of the OOH radicals on the surfaces of gold clusters.展开更多

Using density functional theory(DFT) calculation, we systematically investigate the MSR process over a high-index In_2O_3(211) and a favoured catalytic cycle of MSR is determined. The results show that In_2O_3(211) possesses excellent dehydrogenation and oxidizing ability, on which CH_3 OH can readily adsorb on the In4 c site and be easily activated by the reactive lattice oxygens, resulting in a total oxidation into CO_2 rather than CO, while the H_2 formation through surface H–H coupling limits the overall MSR activity because of the strong H adsorption on the two-coordinated lattice O(O_(2c)). Our analyses show that the relatively inert three-coordinated lattice O(O_(3c)) could play an important catalytic role. To uncover the influence of the local coordination of surface In atoms and lattice O on the catalytic activity, we evaluate the activity trend of several types of In_2O_3 surfaces including(211),(111), and(100) by examining the rate-limiting, which reveals the following activity order:(211)>(111)>(100). These findings provide an in-depth understanding on the MSR reaction mechanism over In_2O_3 catalysts and some basic structure-activity relations at the atomic scale, could facilitate the rational design of In_2O_3-based catalysts for MSR by controlling the local coordination environment of surface active sites.展开更多

Their catalysis on asymmetric epoxidation of a-methylstyrene, styrene and indene was studied with NaC10 and m-CPBA as oxidants respectively. This homogeneous catalyst exhibited comparable catalytic activity and enantioselectivity to the Jacobsen's catalyst in the asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins. Furthermore, the catalyst could be conveniently recovered and reused at least five times without significant losses of both activity and enantioselectivity. Specially, it also could be efficiently used in large-scale reactions with superior catalytic disposition being maintained at the same level, which provided the potential for the applications in industry. The effect of axial bases, temperature and solvent on activity and enantioselectivity of the catalytic system were also studied.展开更多

文摘Indium oxide(In_2O_3) has demonstrated to be an effective non-noble metal catalyst for methanol steam reforming reaction(MSR).However, the reaction mechanism of MSR and crucial structure-activity relations determining the catalytic performance of In_2O_3 are still not fully understood yet. Using density functional theory(DFT) calculation, we systematically investigate the MSR process over a high-index In_2O_3(211) and a favoured catalytic cycle of MSR is determined. The results show that In_2O_3(211) possesses excellent dehydrogenation and oxidizing ability, on which CH_3 OH can readily adsorb on the In4 c site and be easily activated by the reactive lattice oxygens, resulting in a total oxidation into CO_2 rather than CO, while the H_2 formation through surface H–H coupling limits the overall MSR activity because of the strong H adsorption on the two-coordinated lattice O(O_(2c)). Our analyses show that the relatively inert three-coordinated lattice O(O_(3c)) could play an important catalytic role. To uncover the influence of the local coordination of surface In atoms and lattice O on the catalytic activity, we evaluate the activity trend of several types of In_2O_3 surfaces including(211),(111), and(100) by examining the rate-limiting, which reveals the following activity order:(211)>(111)>(100). These findings provide an in-depth understanding on the MSR reaction mechanism over In_2O_3 catalysts and some basic structure-activity relations at the atomic scale, could facilitate the rational design of In_2O_3-based catalysts for MSR by controlling the local coordination environment of surface active sites.

文摘In recent years, visible light photoredox catalysis has emerged as an important research area in synthesis. In this review, we describe the recent progress in the visible light induced cycloaddition reactions, including [2+2], [3+2], [4+2] and [2+2+2] cycloadditions, for the construction of four-, five- or six-membered cycles and polycycles. Furthermore, the mechanisms for these transformations are also discussed, in which the formation of the radicals is initiated by a visible light photoredox catalysis process.

文摘Three new homochiral bis-diamine-bridged bi-Mn(salen) complexes were synthesized. Their catalysis on asymmetric epoxidation of a-methylstyrene, styrene and indene was studied with NaC10 and m-CPBA as oxidants respectively. This homogeneous catalyst exhibited comparable catalytic activity and enantioselectivity to the Jacobsen's catalyst in the asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins. Furthermore, the catalyst could be conveniently recovered and reused at least five times without significant losses of both activity and enantioselectivity. Specially, it also could be efficiently used in large-scale reactions with superior catalytic disposition being maintained at the same level, which provided the potential for the applications in industry. The effect of axial bases, temperature and solvent on activity and enantioselectivity of the catalytic system were also studied.
