Hammett Parameter in Microporous Solids as Macroligands for Heterogenized Photocatalysts

Microporous porphyrin solids.

Metalloporphyrins are exceedingly useful building blocks for the design and synthesis of molecularly based solids. The use of hydrogen bonding or metal ion coordination provides a wide range of framework solids. Using various polyfunctionalized porphyrins, we have created porous solids that are thermally robust and that retain their internal porosity upon loss of solvates. Their pore dimensions...

Recent developments in robust microporous porphyrin solids

A review of the recent literature is presented which assesses the development of robust microporous porphyrin framework solids and their potential to perform selective sorption or heterogeneous shapeor size-selective catalysis. The review focuses only on those porphyrin solids whose porosity is robust, i.e. whose framework remains after the removal of solvates, as determined by thermal gravimet...

Order parameter for structural heterogeneity in disordered solids.

We construct a structural order parameter from the energy equipartition of normal modes of vibration to quantify the structural heterogeneity in disordered solids. The order parameter exhibits strong spatial correlations with low-temperature dynamics and local structural entropy. To characterize the role of particles with the most defective local structures identified by the order parameter, we...

Imidazolium Chloride Immobilized Fly Ash as a Heterogenized Organocatalyst for Esterification Reaction under Microwave Irradiation Heating

An efficient solventless one-pot procedure for the synthesis of imidazolium-based ionic liquid under microwave irradiation is described in which 1-methylimidazole was modified by organosilane (3-chloropropyl triethoxysilane). This ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-[(triethoxysilyl)propyl]imidazolium chloride (TMICl) is immobilized on Mechanically activated Fly Ash (MFA) by co-condensation method to d...
