  • Guidelines to Achieving High Selectivity for the Hydrogenation of Α
    Guidelines to achieving high selectivity for the hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with bimetallic and dilute alloy catalysts − A review Mathilde Luneau,†,a Jin Soo Lim,†,a Dipna A. Patel,‡,a E. Charles H. Sykes,‡ Cynthia M. Friend,† and Philippe Sautet*,,§ † Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA ‡ Department of Chemistry, Tufts University, Medford, MA 02155, USA Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA § Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA * Email: [email protected] a These three authors contributed equally to this review. Abstract Selective hydrogenation of α,ß-unsaturated aldehydes to unsaturated alcohols is a challenging class of reactions, yielding valuable intermediates for the production of pharmaceuticals, perfumes, and flavorings. On monometallic heterogeneous catalysts, the formation of the unsaturated alcohols is thermodynamically disfavored over the saturated aldehydes. Hence, new catalysts are required to achieve the desired selectivity. Herein, the literature of three major research areas in catalysis is integrated as a step toward establishing the guidelines for enhancing the selectivity: reactor studies of complex catalyst materials at operating temperature and pressure; surface science studies of crystalline surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum; and first-principles modeling using density functional theory calculations. Aggregate analysis shows that bimetallic and dilute alloy catalysts significantly enhance the selectivity to the unsaturated alcohols compared to monometallic catalysts. This com- prehensive review focuses primarily on the role of different metal surfaces as well as the factors that promote the adsorption of the unsaturated aldehyde via its C=O bond, most notably by elec- tronic modification of the surface and formation of the electrophilic sites.

  • 1 the Structure and Reactivity of Single and Multiple
    1 1 The Structure and Reactivity of Single and Multiple Sites on Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Catalysts: Analogies, Differences, and Challenges for Characterization Methods Adriano Zecchina , Silvia Bordiga , and Elena Groppo 1.1 Introduction The content of this book is specifi cally devoted to a description of the complexity of the catalytic centers (both homogeneous and heterogeneous) viewed as nanoma- chines for molecular assembling. Although the word “ nano ” is nowadays some- what abused, its use for catalysts science (as nanoscience) is fully justifi ed. It is a matter of fact that (i) to perform any specifi c catalytic action, the selective catalyst must necessarily possess sophisticated structure where substrates bonds are broken and formed along a specifi c path and (ii) the relevant part of this structure, usually constituted by a metal center or metal cluster surrounded by a sphere of ligands or by a solid framework or by a portion of functionalized surface, often reaches the nanometric dimension. As it will emerge from the various chapters, this vision is valid for many types of selective catalysts including catalysts for hydrogenation, polymerization, olygomerization, partial oxidation, and photocata- lytic solar energy conversion. Five chapters are devoted to the above - mentioned reactions. From the point of view of the general defi nition, homogeneous and heterogeneous selective catalysts can be treated in the same way. As homogeneous selective catalysts are concerned, the tridimensional structure surrounding the metal center can be organized with cavitand shape, while for heterogeneous cata- lysts the selectivity is the result of an accurate design and synthesis of the frame- work structures (often microporous and crystalline) where the sites are anchored.

  • Heterogeneous Catalytic Oligomerization of Ethylene
    Heterogeneous Catalytic Oligomerization of Ethylene Oliver Dennis Jan A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Fernando Resende, Chair Rick Gustafson Anthony Dichiara Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Environmental and Forest Sciences © Copyright 2017 Oliver Dennis Jan ii University of Washington Abstract Heterogeneous Catalytic Oligomerization of Ethylene Oliver Dennis Jan Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Assistant Professor Fernando Resende School of Environmental and Forest Sciences Throughout this work, we report results for the oligomerization of ethylene over Ni-Hβ in a packed bed reactor. We performed a parameterized study over temperature (30ºC-190ºC), pressure (8.5-25.6 bar), and weighted hourly space velocity (2.0-5.5 hr-1). We observed that the ethylene conversion increased with reaction pressure due primarily to the slower velocities at higher pressures. Increasing the temperature of the reactor led to the formation of larger oligomers and coke, but its effect on the conversion was small. The space velocity played an important role on ethylene conversion and product selectivity, with higher conversions observed at lower space velocities and higher selectivities to butene at higher space velocities. We also conducted a long experiment to determine the activity of the Ni-Hβ catalyst over 72 hours-on-stream at 19.0 bar partial pressure of ethylene, 120ºC, and 3.1 hr-1 WHSV. We observed that catalyst deactivation occurred only during the startup period largely due to coke formation. Despite this initial iii deactivation, negligible coke formation occurred after 8 hours time-on-stream, as the conversion remained steady at 47% for the duration of the experiment.

O. Ekeoma1*, P. A. C. Okoye2 and V. I. E. Ajiwe2 1Department of Chemistry, College of Physical and Applied Sciences, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, P. M. B. 7267, Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria. 2Department of Pure and Industrial Chemistry, Faculty of Physical Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. Non-edible crude karanj (Pongamia pinnata) oil (CKO) with high free fatty acid (FFA) content was used as effective renewable feedstock for fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) production. Calcium feldspar clay, a rare compositional variety of plagioclase clay, a low cost, abundant earth resource, containing over 90% CaO and belonging to the class of anorthite clay was used as heterogeneous catalyst in direct conversion of high FFA crude karanj oil to fatty acid methyl esters. The efficiency of the catalyst was made possible by the structural rearrangement of the mixed metal oxides' content of the catalyst at prolonged high temperatures, a behaviour characteristic of glass transitions and properties of amorphous phases of plagioclase feldspar, and thus was transformed into solid acid particles such as acidic mesoporous aluminium silicate mixed oxides. Optimum FAME yield of 98.97% was obtained at 4 h reaction time, 6 wt% catalyst loading, 9:1 methanol to CKO molar ratio and at methanol reflux temperature.

  • Rh(I) Complexes in Catalysis: a Five-Year Trend
    molecules Review Rh(I) Complexes in Catalysis: A Five-Year Trend Serenella Medici * , Massimiliano Peana * , Alessio Pelucelli and Maria Antonietta Zoroddu Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy, University of Sassari, Vienna 2, 07100 Sassari, Italy; [email protected] (A.P.); [email protected] (M.A.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (S.M.); [email protected] (M.P.) Abstract: Rhodium is one of the most used metals in catalysis both in laboratory reactions and industrial processes. Despite the extensive exploration on “classical” ligands carried out during the past decades in the field of rhodium-catalyzed reactions, such as phosphines, and other com- mon types of ligands including N-heterocyclic carbenes, ferrocenes, cyclopentadienyl anion and pentamethylcyclopentadienyl derivatives, etc., there is still lively research activity on this topic, with considerable efforts being made toward the synthesis of new preformed rhodium catalysts that can be both efficient and selective. Although the “golden age” of homogeneous catalysis might seem over, there is still plenty of room for improvement, especially from the point of view of a more sustainable chemistry. In this review, temporally restricted to the analysis of literature during the past five years (2015–2020), the latest findings and trends in the synthesis and applications of Rh(I) complexes to catalysis will be presented. From the analysis of the most recent literature, it seems clear that rhodium-catalyzed processes still represent a stimulating challenge for the metalloorganic chemist that is far from being over.

The first microwave-assisted continuous esterification of succinic acid with H2SO4 as a chemical homogeneous catalyst was successfully achieved via a single pass (ca 320 s) at 65–115 ◦C using a MiniFlow 200ss Sairem Technology. The first continuous trans-esterification of dimethyl succinate with lipase Cal B as an enzymatic catalyst was developed using a Syrris Asia Technology, with an optimal reaction condition of 14 min at 40 ◦C. Dialkyl succinates were produced with the two technologies, but higher productivity was observed for the microwave-assisted continuous esterification using chemical catalysts. The continuous flow trans-esterification demonstrated a number of advantages, but it resulted in lower yield of the target esters.

  • Frontiers at the Interface of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis
    FRONTIERS AT THE INTERFACE OF HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS Meeting of the Catalysis Science Program Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences Division Office of Basic Energy Sciences U.S. Department of Energy Westin Annapolis Annapolis, Maryland June 30 – July 2, 2013 This document was produced under contract number DE-AC05-060R23100 between the U.S. Department of Energy and Oak Ridge Associated Universities. FOREWORD The 2013 Catalysis Science Program Meeting is sponsored by the Division of Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences, Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES), U.S. Department of Energy. It is being held on June 30 through July 2, 2013, at the Westin Annapolis Hotel, Annapolis, Maryland. The purposes of this meeting are to discuss the recent advances in the chemical, physical, and biological bases of catalysis science, to foster exchange of ideas and cooperation among participants, and to discuss the new challenges and opportunities recently emerging in energy technologies. Catalysis activities within BES emphasize fundamental research aimed at initially understanding and finally controlling the chemical conversion of natural and artificial feedstocks. The long-term goal of this research is to discover fundamental principles and produce ever more insightful approaches to predict structure-reactivity behavior. Such knowledge, integrated with advances in chemical and materials synthesis, in situ and operando analytical instrumentation, and chemical kinetics and quantum chemistry methods, will allow the control of chemical reactions along desired pathways. Ultimately, this new knowledge should impact the efficiency of conversion of natural resources into fuels, chemicals, materials, or other forms of energy, while minimizing the impact to the environment. This year’s meeting is focused on three topical areas: (i) the interface of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, (ii) catalysis for biomass or solar energy conversion, and (iii) molecular catalysis, with an emphasis on organic synthesis.
