The ability to adroitly tailor acid-strength using specifically-engineered bimetallic nanoporous materials has been investigated with a view to exploiting their potential in solid-acid catalysed transformations. Further, it has been demonstrated that through site-specific interactions, extra-framework zinc ions can suitably modify the acidity of Brønsted acid sites, to stimulate diverse catalyt...

effects of water on the catalytic performances of movtenbo catalyst in the oxidation of propane to acrylic acid have been investigated at different reaction temperatures and different steam contents. obtained results show that both catalytic performances and catalyst structure are very sensitive to the presence of water vapor in the reaction feed. presence of water induces some structural modif...

We have prepared a multi-component nanoporous PtRuCuW (np-PtRuCuW) electrocatalyst via a combined chemical dealloying and mechanical alloying process. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical measurements have been applied to characterize the microstructure and electrocatalytic activities of the np-PtRuCuW. The np-PtRuCuW catalyst has a unique thre...

Oxygen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalyst In article number 2214124, Pan Liu and co-workers constructed a 3D bicontinuous nanoporous [email protected]/RuO2 composite with tunable ligament sizes highly stable CoO/RuO2 interface using vapor phase dealloying method. The catalyst delivers an ultralow overpotential of 198 mV at 10 mA cm−2 long-term stability 50 h. This study provides powerful suppor...

1,8-Dioxo-decahydroacridines have been synthesized by the three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, aromatic amines (or ammonium acetate), and dimedone in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (SBA-Pr-SO3H) under solvent-free conditions. Excellent yields, short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, an...

The unsaturated fatty acid maleinization reaction was adopted according to the well documented procedures of synthesizing the alkenyl succinic anhydrides (ASA) that are often used in industry (i.e. for paper sizing agents and cutting fluids lubricants) . For monounsaturated fatty acid such as oleic acid, 13 times of maleic anhydride to oleic acid molar ratio are recommended to obtain high yield...

kinetic monte carlo simulation was applied to investigation of kinetics and mechanism of oxalic acid degradation by direct and heterogeneous catalytic ozonation. la-containing perovskites including lafeo3, lanio3, lacoo3 and lamno3 was studied as catalyst for oxalic acid ozonation. the reaction kinetic mechanisms of each abovementioned catalytic systems has been achieved. the rate constants val...

the brønsted acidic ionic liquid ([bmim]hso4) catalyzed three-component synthesis of 2h-indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-trione derivatives at room temperature. the integrity of the ionic liquid remains reasonably unchanged when it is separated from the reaction mixture by water extraction, as it can be recycled several times without any loss of activity in each of the title syntheses. the products a...

silica sulfuric acid as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst has been used for the preparation of amidines 2 from formimidate 1 by reaction with aromatic amines at room temperature in good to excellent yields. imidate was prepared by treatment of equimolar quantities of triethyl orthoformate and diaminomaleonitrile in refluxing dioxane. all the compounds were characterized fully by ...

the aryl-(z)-n-[2-amino-1,2-dicyanovinyl]formamidine 2 cyclize in solvent-free conditions and in the presence of a base to give a 5-amino-1-aryl-4-cyanoimidazoles 3. silica sulfuric acid as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst has been used for the preparation of amidines 2 from formimidate 1 through reaction with aromatic amines at room temperature and in good to excellent yields. ...
