A Nano‐Fibrillated Mesoporous Carbon as an Effective Support for Palladium Nanoparticles in the Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohols “on Pure Water”

A novel nano‐fibrillated mesoporous carbon (IFMC) was successfully prepared via carbonization of the ionic liquid 1‐methyl‐3‐phenethyl‐1H‐imidazolium hydrogen sulfate ( 1 ) in the presence of SBA‐15. The material was shown to be an efficient and unique support for the palladium nanoparticle (PdNP) catalyst Pd@IFMC ( 2 ) in aerobic oxidation of heterocyclic, benzylic, and heteroatom containing alcohols on pure water at temperatures as low as 40 °C for the first time and giving almost consistent activities and selectivities within more than six reaction runs. The catalyst has also been employed as an effective catalyst for the selective oxidation of aliphatic and allylic alcohols at 70–80 °C. The materials were characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N₂ adsorption–desorption analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electron tomography (ET). Our compelling XPS and ET studies showed that higher activity of 2 compared to Pd@CMK‐3 and Pd/C in the aerobic oxidation of alcohols on water might be due to the presence of nitrogen functionalities inside the carbon structure and also the fibrous nature of our materials. The presence of a nitrogen heteroatom in the carboneous framework might also be responsible for the relatively uniform and nearly atomic‐scale distribution of PdNPs throughout the mesoporous structure and the inhibition of Pd agglomeration during the reaction, resulting in high durability, high stability, and recycling characteristics of 2 . This effect was clearly confirmed by comparing the TEM images of the recovered 2 and Pd@CMK‐3.     

Co-N/m-C高效催化空气下醇直接氧化成酯

酯类在有机合成中作为基础材料广泛地应用于精细化学品, 农用化学品, 药物等的生产中. 传统生产酯的方法需要用到羧酸, 酸酐, 酰卤或酮类, 并经过多步反应完成. 往往会造成原材料的浪费, 并伴随副产物的产生. 因此用醇代替酸或其衍生物与另一种醇反应直接氧化酯化合成相应的酯具有很大的经济意义. 目前已有基于贵金属(如钌, 钯和金)的将醇类直接氧化为酯类的催化剂的研究, 但是贵金属的价格及其有限的资源限制了其在实际生产中的应用. 从经济发展和环境保护的角度出发, 开发基于非贵金属的用于醇氧化酯化的催化剂有重要意义.近年来, 碳材料由于成本低? 稳定性高? 电化学性能优异的特点而广泛应用于材料? 化学催化和电化学催化等领域. 此外, 杂原子和金属的引入可以在一定程度上调节材料的组成, 电子结构和表面物理化学性质而进一步构建新的活性位点, 增强碳材料的催化性能. 另外, 由于多孔碳材料具有较大的比表面积和多样的孔结构, 作为催化剂载体比普通碳材料更优越, 使得底物更容易接触活性部位, 同时提高氧的传输能力. 然而, 活性钴物种因在热解过程中容易发生团聚而使原子催化效率降低. 因此设计和制备高分散且高效的催化剂对于实现醇氧化为酯有重要意义.钴基氮掺杂碳材料是一种有潜力的能将醇直接氧化到酯的经济, 高效, 环保的催化剂. 本文提出了一种方便, 快捷, 高效的醇直接氧化成酯的方法, 即利用直接热解大分子前驱体制备钴改性N掺杂介孔碳材料(Co-N/m-C), 用于醇直接氧化成酯反应中, 其中以900 oC下焙烧所制的催化剂活性最高. 该催化剂对于苯甲醇直接有氧氧化成苯甲酸甲酯反应的TOF值高达107.6 h?1, 远高于目前所报道的过渡金属基纳米催化剂的, 这得益于超分散钴物种与材料中吡啶氮之间的强配位作用及大的介孔比表面积. 对于不同结构的醇, 包括苄基醇, 烯丙基醇和杂环醇, 也能高收率地得到相应酯, 说明该催化剂具有普适性. 另外, Co-N/m-C-900催化剂经循环使用六次后没有显著的活性损失, 表明了该催化剂具有一定的稳定性.

Catalytic activity and regeneration property of a Pd nanoparticle encapsulated in a hollow porous carbon sphere for aerobic alcohol oxidation

A core-shell composite consisting of a palladium (Pd) nanoparticle and a hollow carbon shell (Pd@hmC) was employed as a catalyst for aerobic oxidation of various alcohols. The core-shell structure was synthesized by consecutive coatings of Pd nanoparticles with siliceous and carbon layers followed by removal of the intermediate siliceous layer. Structural characterizations using TEM and N(2) adsorption-desorption measurements revealed that Pd@hmC thus-obtained was composed of a Pd nanoparticle core of 3-6 nm in diameter and a hollow carbon shell with well-developed mesopore (ca. 2.5 nm in diameter) and micropore (ca. 0.4-0.8 nm in diameter) systems. When compared to some Pd-supported carbons, Pd@hmC showed a high level of catalytic activity for oxidation of benzyl alcohol into benzaldehyde using atmospheric pressure of O(2) as an oxidant. The Pd@hmC composite also exhibited a high level of catalytic activity for aerobic oxidations of other primary benzylic and allylic alcohols into corresponding aldehydes. The presence of a well-developed pore system in the lateral carbon shell enabled efficient diffusion of both substrates and products to reach the central Pd nanoparticles, leading to such high catalytic activities. This core-shell structure also provided high thermal stability of Pd nanoparticles toward coalescence and/or aggregation due to the physical isolation of each Pd nanoparticle from neighboring particles by the carbon shell: this specific property of Pd@hmC resulted in possible regeneration of catalytic activity for these aerobic oxidations by a high-temperature heat treatment of the sample recovered after catalytic reactions.     

Effect of hydrothermal treatment on the physicochemical characteristics of Pd/C composites prepared <Emphasis Type="Italic">via</Emphasis> pyrolysis of sawdust impregnated with palladium nitrate

Palladium supported on carbon (Pd/C) catalysts (0.55–0.65 wt.% of Pd) were synthesized by pyrolysis of birch sawdust under inert atmosphere proceeded by prolonged impregnation of sawdust in aqueous solution of palladium nitrate. In some cases, hydrothermal treatment (HT) of the pristine sawdust was conducted to modify the specific surface area of the final carbon material applied as a catalyst support. Based on low-temperature nitrogen adsorption technique, it was postulated that HT of sawdust in the liquid phase increases. while HT in the gaseous phase decreases the specific surface area of Pd/C. The obtained catalysts contained Pd particles (size ranged from 2 to 10 nm) both coated and not coated with carbon shell as evidenced by XPS and TEM techniques. The synthesized Pd/C composites provide high conversion of chlorobenzene and high selectivity in respect to benzene in hydrodechlorination reaction performed in a flow fixed-bed reactor in the presence of H₂. XPS data for Pd/C composites tested in the catalytic reaction indicate their high resistance to HCl. A minor part of metal Pd was found to transform into PdCl₂ and PdO.

Kinetics of lactose and rhamnose oxidation over supported metal catalysts

Several mono- and bimetallic Pd, Pt, Rh and Ru supported on alumina and active carbon catalysts were characterized by CO chemisorption, nitrogen adsorption, XPS and XRD and acidity titrations were performed for active carbon supported catalysts. These catalysts were tested in oxidation of two sugars, namely lactose and rhamnose, at 60 °C and at 70 °C under slightly alkaline conditions (pH 8) with molecular oxygen. The results revealed that there is an optimum metal particle size in a range of 3-10 nm giving the highest initial TOFs for both oxidations. Furthermore, the catalytic activities and conversions were related to other catalyst properties, such as the type and amount of promoters and the presence of different phases. In situ catalyst potential measurements revealed that there is an inverse correlation between the increase of catalyst potential as a function of sugar conversion and the catalyst activity after prolonged reaction times. This method is a valuable tool for in situ characterization of catalysts correlating well with their activities.

Palladium containing periodic mesoporous organosilica with imidazolium framework (Pd@PMO-IL): an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols

The application of a novel palladium containing ionic liquid based periodic mesoporous organosilica (Pd@PMO-IL) catalyst in the aerobic oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols under molecular oxygen and air atmospheres is investigated. It was found that the catalyst is quite effective for the selective oxidation of several activated and non-activated alcoholic substrates. The catalyst system could be successfully recovered and reused several times without any significant decrease in activity and selectivity. Moreover, the hot filtration test, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AA) and kinetic study with and without selective catalyst poisons showed that the catalyst works in a heterogeneous pathway without any palladium leaching in reaction solution. Furthermore, nitrogen-sorption experiment and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image proved the superior stability of high-ordered PMO-IL mesostructure during reaction process. TEM image also confirmed the presence of well-distributed Pd-nanoparticles in the uniform mesochannels of the material. These observations can be attributed to the ionic liquid nature of PMO-IL mesostructure which facilitates the reaction through production, chemical immobilization and stabilization of active palladium nanoparticles, as well as preventing Pd-agglomeration during overall process.

Development and comparison of the substrate scope of Pd-catalysts for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols

[reaction: see text] Three catalysts for aerobic oxidation of alcohols are discussed and the effectiveness of each is evaluated for allylic, benzylic, aliphatic, and functionalized alcohols. Additionally, chiral nonracemic substrates as well as chemoselective and diastereoselective oxidations are investigated. In this study, the most convenient system for the Pd-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of alcohols is Pd(OAc)(2) in combination with triethylamine. This system functions effectively for the majority of alcohols tested and uses mild conditions (3 to 5 mol % of catalyst, room temperature). Pd(IiPr)(OAc)(2)(H(2)O) (1) also successfully oxidizes the majority of alcohols evaluated. This system has the advantage of significantly lowering catalyst loadings but requires higher temperatures (0.1 to 1 mol % of catalyst, 60 degrees C). A new catalyst is also disclosed, Pd(IiPr)(OPiv)(2) (2). This catalyst operates under very mild conditions (1 mol %, room temperature, and air as the O(2) source) but with a more limited substrate scope.     

Immobilization of palladium in mesoporous silica matrix: preparation, characterization, and its catalytic efficacy in carbon-carbon coupling reactions

Palladium(0) has been immobilized into the silica-based mesoporous material to develop catalyst Pd(0)-MCM-41, which is found to be highly active in carbon-carbon coupling reactions. [Pd(NH3)4]2+ ions have been incorporated into the mesoporous material during synthesis of MCM-41 and subsequently upon treatments with hydrazine hydrate Pd2+ ions present in mesoporous silica matrix were reduced to Pd(0) almost instantaneously. The catalyst has been characterized by small-angle X-ray diffraction, N2 sorption, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM and surface area measurements clearly demonstrate that the immobilization of Pd(0) into the mesoporous silica has a significant effect on pore structure of the catalyst. Nevertheless, after immobilization of palladium the meso-porosity of the material is retained, as evidenced in the nitrogen sorption measurement. The TEM micrograph shows that both MCM-41 and Pd(0)-MCM-41 have similar types of external surface morphology; however, Pd(0)-MCM-41 was less ordered. Pd(0)-MCM-41 showed high catalytic activity toward carbon-carbon bond formation reactions like Heck and Sonogashira coupling, as evidenced in high turn-over numbers. In contrast to many other Pd-based catalysts reported so far, Pd(0)-MCM-41 acts as a truly heterogeneous catalyst in C-C coupling reactions. Notably, the new heterogeneous catalyst is found to be efficient in the activation of arylchloride to give impressive conversion in cross coupling (15-45% for Heck and 30% for Sonogashira) reactions under mild conditions.
