Structure and synthesis of SSZ-63: toward an ordered form of zeolite beta

The synthesis, characterization, and structure elucidation of the borosilicate zeolite SSZ-63 are described. SSZ-63 is synthesized using the 1-cyclodecyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium cation as a structure-directing agent. The structural model for SSZ-63 was determined by comparison of its powder X-ray diffraction pattern with those of zeolite beta and its polytype structures. Whereas conventional zeolite beta may be described as a random intergrowth of polytypes A and B, SSZ-63 is more accurately described as a random intergrowth of polytypes B and C(H) (the hypothetical polytype C proposed by Higgins). Polytype C(H) is essentially an ordered intergrowth (of polytypes A and B) in which one of the crystallographic projections is equivalent to those in polytype A and another projection is equivalent to those in polytype B. Unlike zeolite beta, which possesses significant disorder related to layer shifts along both the a- and b-crystallographic axes, the structure of SSZ-63 has little disorder associated with the translations of layers in the a-direction. DIFFaX simulations of the powder diffraction patterns, electron diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microsocopy data all support the proposed model.     

The synthesis,characterization, and structure solution of SSZ-58: a novel two-dimensional 10-ring pore zeolite with previously unseen double 5-ring subunits

The synthesis, structure solution, and characterization of the novel zeolite SSZ-58 are described. SSZ-58 was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions using 1-butyl-1-cyclooctylpyrrolidinium cation as a structure-directing agent. The framework topology of SSZ-58 was determined with the FOCUS Fourier recycling method. SSZ-58 possesses 12 tetrahedral atoms in the asymmetric unit of its highest topological symmetry, and to date it is the most complex zeolite structure solved from powder data. Rietveld refinement of synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction data in space group Pmma confirmed the proposed model. SSZ-58 contains layers of atoms that are linked together by double five-membered rings (D5R), or 5(2)4(5) subunits, that have not been observed before in any zeolite or zeotype structures. SSZ-58 possesses a two-dimensional channel system consisting of 10-membered ring pores that intersect to form large cavities circumscribed by 12- and 16-membered ring pores.     

Incommensurate modulation in the microporous silica SSZ-24

A detailed investigation of the structure of microporous silica, SSZ-24, is presented. It is shown by X-ray powder diffraction and (29)Si MAS NMR experiments that the structure deviates from the previously proposed AlPO(4)-5-type structure. At room temperature, electron diffraction (ED) patterns exhibit extra diffraction spots, which can be attributed to an incommensurate structural modulation along the c axis. This in turn results in a pleat pattern in real space with two different intervals arranged aperiodically along the c axis, as observed with high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The modulated structure may easily turn into a disordered one through excessive electron irradiation or heat-treatment. In order to understand the origin of the modulation, soft phonon-modes of the ideal premodulated structure were analyzed by the use of the rigid-unit-mode model. The distribution of soft modes in reciprocal space might correspond roughly to diffuse streaks that could be observed in the diffraction patterns at higher temperatures. It was found that several phonon branches soften at specific wave vectors, which are incommensurate with respect to the original period and might be responsible for the modulation. We present a simple analytic treatment to deduce the wave vectors and associated displacement eigenvectors for the incommensurate soft-modes.     

Structure-directing agent location and non-centrosymmetric structure of fluoride-containing zeolite SSZ-55

Single crystals of pure silica zeolite SSZ-55 were prepared using the fluoride route. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction at a synchrotron source revealed the framework structure of the material, but the unit cell (orthorhombic a = 12.905(2) A, b = 21.344(4) A, c = 5.1279(10)) is too small to accommodate ordered arrays of the organic structure-directing agent. Molecular modeling was used to simulate the docking of the structure-directing agent in the channels of the material, and this revealed a strong space-filling interaction with a number of possible orientations of the organic cation. The overall non-centrosymmetric structure of the solid (spacegroup C222(1)) was confirmed using second harmonic generation experiments.

碳化硅上生长Cu/SSZ-13分子筛及其NH3-SCR催化性能

汽车尾气和柴油不完全燃烧所释放的NOx严重污染了大气环境.为了降低对大气的污染,可将其催化还原成氮气.氨气选择性催化还原(NH3-SCR)是使用较广泛的机动车高效脱硝技术.用于催化脱硝反应的催化剂有多种类型,分子筛具有特殊的孔道结构和骨架结构及高比表面积,因而已广泛用作脱硝反应催化剂.与传统三效催化剂相比,分子筛催化剂总体表现出更好的脱硝催化活性,但在高温下不稳定,容易失活,不耐热冲击,水热稳定性差.SiC具有耐酸碱、耐腐蚀、抗氧化、耐磨及良好的热稳定性和导电性,因此作为催化剂载体近年来引起广泛关注.但是其本身也存在许多缺点,如比表面积低、表面性质不活泼、不利于金属物种分散等.因此,本文通过原位水热法将SSZ-13生长在SiC表面,制备出新型催化复合材料SSZ-13@SiC.采用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和N2吸附-脱附等手段研究了不同碱量和晶化时间对SSZ-13在SiC表面生长的影响,负载Cu后获得Cu/SSZ-13@SiC作为催化剂,研究了SiC对Cu/SSZ-13中高温下脱硝活性的影响规律.结果表明,碱含量会影响SSZ-13在SiC表面的结晶程度.当SiO2/NaOH ≥ 0.1时,SSZ-13有杂相出现,并且结晶度都不高; 当SiO2/NaOH < 0.1时,SiC表面会生长成纯相的SSZ-13晶粒且具有较高的结晶度.晶化时间也会影响SSZ-13在SiC表面的覆盖程度: 反应1 d时,SiC表面会生长零星的SSZ-13晶粒; 2 d时,SSZ-13达到全面覆盖; 3 d后,SSZ-13在SiC上的生长达到饱和,其比表面积达到最大值,约为201.3 m2/g.通过离子交换将不同含量Cu离子交换到分子筛表面,其中Cu(1.71)/SSZ-13@SiC样品具有最佳的脱硝活性,接近200 °C时,NO转化率就达到90%以上,到高温500 °C时,NO转化率仍能保持在70%以上.相比于未负载的Cu/SSZ-13,Cu/SSZ-13@SiC催化剂在NH3-SCR测试中具有更高的高温催化活性,同时催化活性窗口明显拓宽.上述结果说明SiC对Cu/SSZ-13的高温催化活性具有一定的提高和稳定作用.

Polymethylated [4.1.1] Octanes Leading to Zeolite SSZ-50

In this communication, we report on the discovery of novel zeolite compositions, SSZ-50. The zeolite has the RTH topology but can be made over a large silica-to-alumina range including no aluminum at all. The surprising capability to produce a broad compositional range comes from the use of a single organo-cation guest molecule in the zeolite synthesis. The molecule is a specific derivative from within a family of 2-aza [4.1.1] bicyclo octanes that were prepared employing a sequence of organic synthesis steps from a starting ketone. Other cage-based zeolites like SSZ-35,-36,-39 and MTN arose from the use of the other derivatives in this series. We also comment on the tendency of a variety of polymethylated organo-cations to produce RTH, the closely related ITE, or the intergrowth structure, SSZ-36.

SSZ-35 and SSZ-44: Two Related Zeolites Containing Pores Circumscribed by Ten- and Eighteen-Membered Rings

Unusual one-dimensional pores circumscribed by 10- and 18-membered rings are a feature of the structures of two high-silica molecular sieves, SSZ-44 and SSZ-35. Structure solution and Rietveld refinement from synchrotron powder X-ray data reveal that the two materials are the pure end-member polymorphs of a new fault series and contain similar layerlike units (see picture). The SSZ-44 structure is formed by an AB stacking of the layers, whereas the SSZ-35 structure is formed through an ABC stacking of the layer units.     

DFT计算结合固体NMR研究富铝SSZ-13的铝分布和Br?nsted酸性

具有菱沸石(CHA)结构的SSZ-13分子筛在甲醇制烯烃(MTO)及柴油机车尾气氨选择性催化还原(NH_3-SCR)反应中具有重要的应用,采用富铝SSZ-13可以调节MTO反应的烯烃选择性和提升NH_3-SCR的低温脱硝活性,因此SSZ-13中的铝含量和分布与对应的酸性决定了其催化性能。本文采用密度泛函理论结合固体核磁共振实验研究了富铝和富硅HSSZ-13的Al位置与Br?nsted酸强度的内在关系。通过计算取代能发现,对于孤立Al位,质子位于Al周围4个不同O位时能量差异较小,最稳定的B酸位点是O(1)―H。对于富铝SSZ-13,两个Al原子位于同一六元环的对位是Al-Si-Si-Al (NNNN)序列中最稳定的结构,而Al-Si-Al (NNN)序列中能量最优的Al分布是两个铝原子排布于六棱柱上下不同的六元环上。通过计算最稳定构型下的质子亲和势、NH3脱附能和吸附氘代乙腈后的1H NMR化学位移,发现富铝SSZ-13中含有Si(2Al)分布的NNN序列导致了其Br?nsted酸强度弱于高硅的分子筛。分峰拟合29Si魔角旋转核磁共振(MASNMR)谱图表明富铝SSZ-13中Si(2Al)的含量在43%以上,而吸附氘代乙腈后的1H MAS NMR实验显示富铝SSZ-13的桥羟基化学位移向低场移动,进一步证明富铝SSZ-13具有较弱的Br?nsted酸强度。     

利用适用于SAPO-34的有机结构导向剂合成SSZ-13分子筛

硅铝分子筛SSZ-13和硅磷铝分子筛SAPO-34已广泛应用于已商业化的催化应用中, 如甲醇制烯烃反应(MTO)和氨气选择性催化还原反应(NH₃-SCR). 目前, 已有多种商业化的有机结构导向剂(OSDA)可用于制备 SAPO-34, 而用于合成SSZ-13的OSDA仍主要依赖经典的N,N,N-三甲基-1-金刚烷基氢氧化铵(TMAdaOH). 因此, 寻找具有较高性价比且可导向合成高硅铝比(SAR)SSZ-13的OSDAs具有重要意义. 本文使用3种可制备SAPO-34的OSDAs[二异丙胺(DIPA)、 二丙胺(DPA)、 正丁胺(nBA)]替代部分TMAdaOH, 发现即使不加入晶种也可合成出SSZ-13. 采用粉末X射线衍射(PXRD)和固体核磁共振(ss-NMR)分析方法对制备的SSZ-13进行了系统研究. 结果显示, 所合成的具有可调变SARs的SSZ-13负载Cu之后, 在NH₃-SCR性能上与商业化催化剂相当. 此外, 通过研究DIPA和TMAdaOH合成SSZ-13的晶化机理发现, DIPA的加入可以加快结晶过程、 提高产率并防止非晶相的形成. 本文提出的观点可为寻找更高效和商业化的SSZ-13结构导向剂及合成具有特定性质的SSZ-13提供参考.     

Structure of the borosilicate zeolite catalyst SSZ-82 solved using 2D-XPD charge flipping

The structure of the calcined borosilicate zeolite catalyst SSZ-82 ([Si(61.3)B(4.7)O(132)], Pmmn, a = 24.2783(4), b = 11.4665(2), and c = 14.1127(3) ?) has been solved from X-ray powder diffraction (XPD) data using the recently developed 2D-XPD charge flipping approach. The electron density maps generated with the more conventional powder charge flipping (pCF) algorithm could not be interpreted easily, so this new method, which begins by phasing low-resolution, 2D subsets of the data, was applied. Crystallographic phases were derived for the three main projections ([100], [010], and [001]) by using just the corresponding subsets of reflections (0kl, h0l, and hk0, respectively) from the full set of 3039 extracted intensities. These phases were then imposed on the (otherwise random) starting phases in the application of the pCF algorithm to the full data set. The framework structure, with 11 Si/B atoms in the asymmetric unit and a novel 12-/10-ring 2D channel system, could be seen clearly in the resulting electron density map. This is the first application of the 2D-XPD method to data collected on a material of unknown structure. Rietveld refinement of the structure revealed the positions of the B atoms in the framework and indicated that some water had been readsorbed in the pores.

Copper(I)-anilide complex [Na(phen)3][Cu(NPh2)2]: an intermediate in the copper-catalyzed N-arylation of N-phenylaniline

Complex [Na(phen)₃][Cu(NPh₂)₂] ( 2 ), containing a linear bis(N‐phenylanilide)copper(I) anion and a distorted octahedral tris(1,10‐phenanthroline)sodium counter cation, has been isolated from the catalytic C? N cross‐coupling reaction with the CuI/phen/tBuONa (phen=1,10‐phenanthroline) catalytic system. Complex 2 can react with 4‐iodotoluene to produce 4‐methyl‐N,N‐diphenylaniline ( 3 a ) with 70.6 % yield. In addition, 2 can work as an effective catalyst for C? N coupling under the same reaction conditions, thus indicating that 2 is the intermediate of the catalytic system. Both [Cu(NPh₂)₂]^? and [Cu(NPh₂)I]^? have been observed by in situ electron ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) under catalytic reaction conditions, thus confirming that they are intermediates in the reaction. A catalytic cycle has been proposed based on these observations. The molecular structure of 2 has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

Studies of the synthesis of SSZ-25 zeolite in a "mixed-template" system

The synthesis of aluminosilicate zeolite, SSZ-25, is described using a two-component organic guest molecule strategy. This method has been recently described by us and is quite effective in crystallizing a variety of aluminosilicate zeolites with reduction in template cost. In this instance the original organic guest component used in the discovery of SSZ-25, N',N',N'-trimethyl-2-adamantammonium cation, is used in conjunction with a variety of smaller amines. The amine is the major organic component in the synthesis and the quaternary ammonium compound, while a minor component, is essential for structure direction to the desired zeolite product. Studies here show that the adamantyl component is preferentially taken up during crystal growth. Our studies showed that the use of the multi-organic component approach to synthesis resulted in a faster and cheaper route to crystallizing SSZ-25. The SSZ-25 has been described in the literature as having the MWW topology and as such has two different channel systems accessed by 10-ring openings; the channel systems do not intersect. One set of 10-rings open into large cavities. In this study we used NMR spectroscopy to examine the as-made materials and to see if the two organic components are used in different capacities in the synthesis, probing if the admantyl component is only found in these larger cavities. The crystalline products could be affected by solvent extraction with polar solvents like dimethylformamide: the X-ray powder patterns and elemental analyses changed with solvent treatment. The solvent-treated crystals were studied by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and argon adsorption. The two-component organic guest approach was also found to be quite flexible not only with regard to the amine, but also towards the quaternary ammonium compounds. Non-adamantyl polycyclic templates could be used, and polar but non-quaternized adamantyl derivatives also succeeded in directing towards SSZ-25 formation. On the other hand. in one instance it was shown that the two-component approach favors SSZ-25 as the kinetic product but at longer run times Ostwald ripening was observed, leading to the disappearance of SSZ-25 and formation of ferrierite zeolite and quartz.
