Microporous Acidic Cesium Salt of 12-Tungstosilicic Acid Cs3HSiW12O40as a Size-selective Solid Acid Catalyst

Preparation of Nano Spherical α-Fe2O3 Supported on 12-Tungstosilicic Acid Using Two Different Methods: A Novel Catalyst

In this research, spherical α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) were supported on the surface of 12-tungstosilicic acid (12-TSA.7H2O) as a catalyst support, using two different Forced Hydrolysis and Reflux Condensation (FHRC) and Solid-State Dispersion (SSD) methods. α-Fe2O3 and 12-TSA.7H2O were synthesized due to previous reports. A...

Hydroisomerization of n-Butane over Platinum-Promoted Cesium Hydrogen Salt of 12-Tungstophosphoric Acid

The hydroisomerization of n-butane was carried out in a fixed-bed gas-flow reactor over Pt-promoted Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 (denoted as Cs2.5). Two kinds of catalysts, a direct impregnation of Pt on Cs2.5 (denoted as Pt/Cs2.5), as well as a mechanical mixture of Pt/Al2O3 and Cs2.5 (denoted as Pt/Al2O3+Cs2.5), were used for the hydroisomerization. Pt/Al2O3+Cs2.5 showed a higher stationary activity than...

Using “Super Cesium” Catalyst to Increase Sulfuric Acid Production

Size-selective Lewis acid catalysis in a microporous metal-organic framework with exposed Mn2+ coordination sites.

Treatment of selected aldehydes and ketones with cyanotrimethylsilane in the presence of the microporous metal-organic framework Mn3[(Mn4Cl)3BTT8(CH3OH)10]2 (1, H3BTT = 1,3,5-benzenetristetrazol-5-yl) leads to rapid conversion to the corresponding cyanosilylated products. The transformation is catalyzed by coordinatively unsaturated Mn2+ ions that serve as Lewis acids and lead to conversion yie...

Phospho sulfonic acid: an efficient solid acid catalyst for the facile preparation of 1,4-dihydropyridines

A simple and mild one-pot three-component reaction for the preparation 1,4-dihydropyridines has been developed from various aldehyde substrates, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds (dimedone) and ammonium acetate (Hantzsch method) in the presence of a catalytic amount of phospho sulfonic acid (PSA) as an efficient and heterogeneous solid acid in EtOH at room temperature. Preparation of PSA is straightforw...
