以CTMABr和CTMAOH为共模板剂合成MCM-41

采用共模板剂水热合成了MCM-41.分别用X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、固体核磁共振(²⁷AlMASNMR)和N₂吸附等温线技术考察了用该方法和传统方法所制备的Si-MCM-41和Al-MCM-41样品的晶相结构、孔结构以及Al在分子筛中的化学环境.结果表明,用共模板剂方法合成的MCM-41样品,其纯度和孔径均一性显著提高,特别是当样品中Al含量较高时,仍可保证Al原子以四配位结合在MCM-41的硅骨架上.还就采用共模板剂的理论依据进行了讨论.     

高骨架铝含量Al-MCM-41的合成

制备了不同Al含量的Al-MCM-41试样，其中Si/Al比值最小为3，即最高含铝量x~A~l=0.303。X射线粉末衍射(XRD)分析表明样品具有MCM-41的特征结构，氮气吸附研究表明，样品呈现Ⅳ型吸附等温线，具有孔径分布均一的中孔结构。文中还利用^2^7AlMASNMR研究了试样中Al的化学环境，结果表明，即使在高铝含量的情况下，样品中的铝原子仍以四配位结合在MCM-41的硅骨架上，未能检测出骨架外六配位铝的存在。文中还就Al含量对孔结构的影响以及Al-MCM-41形成机理作了讨论。     

SiO2载体表面原位合成MCM-41的结构特征

以溶液硅源和表面硅源两种合成路线在SiO₂颗粒表面进行了MCM-41的原位合成,结果发现以两种方式均可得到MCM-41的有序结构。溶液硅源原位合成MCM-41的长程结构较好,两种硅源原位合成的MCM-41均能够在脱除模板剂过程中保持其长程有序结构。表面硅源原位合成MCM-41的孔径分布较窄,最可几孔径为3.81nm。本文还考察了OH/CTABr及SiO₂/OH比对表面硅源原位合成MCM-41长程结构特征的影响。     

Pore structural characteristics, size exclusion properties and column performance of two mesoporous amorphous silicas and their pseudomorphically transformed MCM-41 type derivatives

Highly ordered mesoporous silicas such as, mobile composition of matter, MCM-41, MCM-48, and the SBA-types of materials have helped to a large extent to understand the formation mechanisms of the pore structure of adsorbents and to improve the methods of pore structural characterization. It still remains an open question whether the high order, the regularity of the pore system, and the narrow pore size distribution of the materials will lead to a substantial benefit when these materials are employed in liquid phase separation processes. MCM-41 type 10 microm beads are synthesized following the route of pseudomorphic transformation of highly porous amorphous silicas. Highly porous silicas and the pseudomorphically transformed derivatives are characterized by nitrogen sorption at 77 K and by inverse size-exclusion chromatography (ISEC) employing polystyrene standards. Applying the network model developed by Grimes, we calculated the pore connectivity n(T) of the materials. The value of n(T) varies between the percolation threshold of the lattice and values of n(T) > 10, the latter being the limiting value above which the material can be considered to be almost infinitely connected such that the ISEC behavior of the material calculated with the pore network model is the same when calculated with a parallel pore model which assumes an infinite connectivity. One should expect that the pore connectivity is reflected in the column performance, when these native and unmodified materials are packed into columns and tested with low molecular weight analytes in the Normal Phase LC mode. As found in a previous study on monolithic silicas and highly porous silicas, the slope of the plate height (HETP) - linear velocity (u) curve decreased significantly with enhanced pore connectivity of the materials. First results on the pseudomorphically transformed MCM-41 type silicas and their highly porous amorphous precursors showed that (i) the transformation did not change the pore connectivity (within the limits detectable by ISEC) from the starting material to the final product and (ii) the slope of the HETP versus u curve for dibutylphtalate did not change significantly after the pseudomorphic transformation.     

Benzene Adsorption Isotherms on MCM-41 and their Use for Pore Size Analysis

This work is focused on the elaboration of methodology for adsorption characterization of porous silicas by using benzene adsorption isotherms measured on good quality MCM-41 materials. Three MCM-41 samples were synthesized by using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as silica source and surfactants, octyltrimethylammonium (C8), decyltrimethylammonium (C10) and cetyltrimethylammonium (C16) bromides as templates. A characteristic feature of this synthesis was relatively long hydrothermal treatment (5 days) at 373 K, which gave well ordered samples as evidenced by powder XRD analysis. Benzene adsorption isotherms measured on these MCM-41 samples were used to evaluate such standard quantities as the BET specific surface area, total pore volume, external surface area and the volume of ordered mesopores, and to obtain the statistical film thickness (t-curve) as well as the Kelvin-type relation, which describes the dependence between pore width and condensation pressure for benzene on silica at 298 K. The latter relations were incorporated into the Barrett-Joyner-Halenda algorithm to extend its applicability to calculate the pore size distributions from benzene adsorption data.     

MCM-48介孔材料相转化合成的形成机制

利用水热合成的方法,使用新型的表面活性剂十六烷基三甲基对苯磺酸盐作为模板剂合成了高质量的MCM-48介孔分子筛,并用X-射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)、高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)以及N₂吸附-脱附进行了表征。合成过程的研究表明该合成体系经历了三相,起始相为具有六方对称性的MCM-41,随着加热时间的延长,生成了具有立方对称性的MCM-48,进一步延长加热时间则生成了层状相MCM-50。三相转变发生的核心驱动力来自于表面活性剂有效堆积参数g因子的改变。另外,XRD、傅立叶变换的红外光谱(FT-IR)以及固体魔角自旋核磁共振(²⁹Si MAS NMR)的表征结果证明：随着晶化时间的延长,相转变的同时伴随着介孔材料的孔壁逐渐由原子无序的非晶态向原子有序的晶态结构转变。最终形成的原子有序层状介孔分子筛可以作为扩孔型微孔分子筛合成的有效前驱体。     

具有强酸性位的高水热稳定介孔分子筛的合成

在强酸性介质中,以预先制备的β沸石纳米簇作为前驱体,通过S＋X－I＋路线及氨水热后处理步骤合成具有强酸性位的高水热稳定性介孔分子筛.XRD、氮气吸附、HRTEM和SEM分析表明所得样品具有普通MCM-41的典型介孔结构和表观形貌.较短的组装周期和室温的组装条件减弱了脱铝效应,27Al MAS NMR表明铝元素主要以四配位状态存在于介孔分子筛骨架中.采用NH3-TPD和水热老化方法分别考察了其固体酸性和水热稳定性,结果表明此介孔分子筛相对于普通MCM-41分子筛具有较强酸性位和较高的水热稳定性.沸石纳米簇的引入提高了分子筛骨架的聚合度和孔壁的厚度,是水热稳定性提高的主要原因.     

甲烷在中孔分子筛MCM-41中吸附的计算机模拟

采用巨正则系综Monte Carlo方法研究了甲烷在两个不同孔径的MCM-41中不同温度下的吸附等温线和其在孔中的相行为和排列方式.模拟结果显示,在较小孔径的MCM-41中,流体分子达到毛细凝聚所需的化学位较小,并且观察到两个孔径下计算机模拟得到的亚稳态区域都非常宽,使得层状转变（如果有的话）被包含在这个区域.通过比较两种孔径下达到毛细凝聚后的构型,可以看出,在3.5 nm的孔中流体的分子结构出现非常有序的排列,而在5.0 nm的孔中则没有.在常温300 K时甲烷的吸附的计算机模拟表明,孔壁对流体分子的作用仅仅影响较靠近壁面附近的流体分子的排列,而对孔中间的分子几乎没有影响.     

Improvement of the Kruk-Jaroniec-Sayari method for pore size analysis of ordered silicas with cylindrical mesopores

In this work, the X-ray diffraction structure modeling was employed for analysis of hexagonally ordered large-pore silicas, SBA-15, to determine their pore width independently of adsorption measurements. Nitrogen adsorption isotherms were used to evaluate the relative pressure of capillary condensation in cylindrical mesopores of these materials. This approach allowed us to extend the original Kruk-Jaroniec-Sayari (KJS) relation (Langmuir 1997, 13, 6267) between the pore width and capillary condensation pressure up to 10 nm instead of previously established range from 2 to 6.5 nm for a series of MCM-41 and to improve the KJS pore size analysis of large pore silicas.     

MCM-48介孔材料相转化合成的形成机制

利用水热合成的方法,使用新型的表面活性剂十六烷基三甲基对苯磺酸盐作为模板剂合成了高质量的MCM-48介孔分子筛,并用X-射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)、高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)以及N₂吸附-脱附进行了表征。合成过程的研究表明该合成体系经历了三相,起始相为具有六方对称性的MCM-41,随着加热时间的延长,生成了具有立方对称性的MCM-48,进一步延长加热时间则生成了层状相MCM-50。三相转变发生的核心驱动力来自于表面活性剂有效堆积参数g因子的改变,随着反应时间的延长,由于对甲基苯磺酸根离子（Tos^-）的流失,表面活性剂极性头所占的有效面积（a₀）明显减小,g值变大。另外,XRD、傅立叶变换的红外光谱(FT-IR)以及固体魔角自旋核磁共振(²⁹Si MAS NMR)的表征结果证明：随着晶化时间的延长,相转变的同时伴随着介孔材料的孔壁逐渐由原子无序的非晶态向原子有序的晶态结构转变。最终形成的原子有序层状介孔分子筛可以作为扩孔型微孔分子筛合成的有效前驱体。     

Steam reforming of glycerol over Pt-MCM-41 synthesized in a one-step process

Pt-MCM-41 materials were synthesized by a simple method via simultaneous self-assembling and Pt incorporation using cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) as a structure directing agent. Structural characterization of the sample was carried out by N₂ sorption, XRD and TEM measurements. The highly ordered structure of MCM-41 was not appreciably affected by the formation of the Pt particles. Unlike related results, the Pt nanoparticles were incorporated into the mesopores and embedded into the pore walls as framework. The Pt-MCM-41 sample was tested as a catalyst in the steam reforming of glycerol in which it exhibited moderate activity, high selectivity to hydrogen, and very low selectivity to light alkanes.     

以离子液体为结构导向剂合成有序超微孔二氧化硅

在酸性条件下, 以1-十六烷基-3-甲基溴化咪唑为表面活性剂合成了具有有序超微孔结构的二氧化硅材料, 所合成的材料具有较高的比表面积和二维六方有序的孔结构, 样品的孔径尺寸为1.8 nm.     

Effect of auxiliary chemicals on preparation of silica MCM-41

Silica MCM-41 materials were prepared hydrothermally by using 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (MS) or 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene (TI) as an auxiliary chemical. The BJH poressize of MCM-41 increased up to 12 nm with increasing amounts of MS. However, MCM-41 materials prepared with MS displayed irregular pore arrangements and a half of these materials exhibited low thermal and hydrothermal stabilities. On the other hand, MCM-41 materials prepared with TI as an auxiliary chemical displayed regular pore arrangements and high thermal and hydrothermal stabilities, but their BJH pore sizes did not go over 4.0 nm (intrinsic value; ca. 5 nm). MCM-41 prepared with TI together with a small amount of MS (TI/MS/SiO₂=1.5/0.5/1) displayed regular pore arrangements and high thermal and hydrothermal stabilities. Its BJH pore size was 4.7 nm (intrinsic value; ca. 6 nm).     

Modification of Surface and Structural Properties of Ordered Mesoporous Silicates

Two simple modification methods for ordered mesoporous silicas were examined and compared. MCM-41 molecular sieve was physically coated with 4-cyano-4-biphenyl [4(4-pentenyloxy)]benzoate (CBPB) and chemically modified using trimethylethoxysilane. The structural and surface properties of the obtained materials were characterized using elemental analysis, thermogravimetry and nitrogen adsorption over a wide pressure range.It was shown that the pore size of the MCM-41 material was not decreased significantly after the coating procedure, even for high loadings of CBPB. Moreover, low pressure adsorption measurements indicated that significant fractions of the MCM-41 surface were not covered by CBPB, even for high CBPB loadings, which suggests that the attained coverage may be very nonuniform. The chemical bonding procedure led to a marked decrease in the pore size and change of surface properties.It was demonstrated that nitrogen adsorption measurements provide a means of a thorough characterization of modified MCM-41 materials, allowing to estimate the surface area, pore volume and pore size distribution. Moreover, low pressure adsorption data can be used to qualitatively or semiquantitatively assess the surface coverage of the coated/bonded organic groups, which may be used to estimate the uniformity of the coverage and therefore, the usefulness of the modification procedure.     

Co掺杂ZnO/MCM-41分子筛的制备及对异戊醇的催化氧化性能

以Co掺杂的介孔分子筛MCM-41为载体, 采用等体积浸渍法制备了系列5%ZnO/xCo-MCM-41催化剂, 并用于催化分子氧氧化异戊醇合成异戊醛的反应. 通过X射线衍射(XRD), 傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR), 紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS), 扫描电子显微镜(SEM), 氨气程序升温脱附(NH₃-TPD), 氢气程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)和氮气吸附-脱附等手段对样品进行表征, 并考察了Co掺杂量对分子筛结构和催化性能的影响. 结果表明, 随着Co掺杂量的增大, 样品的比表面积和孔体积均减小, 而其平均孔径呈先增大后减小的趋势. 当Co掺杂量为0.05时, 5%ZnO/0.05Co-MCM-41仍保持了MCM-41高度有序的六方介孔结构, 具有高比表面积(989 m²/g)、较大孔径(2.88 nm)和孔体积(0.88 cm³/g), 引入的Co主要以孤立态钴离子[Single-site Co(Ⅱ)]形式存在于MCM-41骨架, MCM-41骨架中的Co可以有效提高ZnO微粒的分散度, 适度降低5%ZnO/MCM-41的表面酸性, 并大幅度提高5%ZnO/MCM-41的氧化还原性. 与5%ZnO/MCM-41相比, 5%ZnO/0.05Co-MCM-41可使异戊醛的选择性提高28.3%.     

NMR provides checklist of generic properties for atomic-scale models of periodic mesoporous silicas

MCM-41 and SBA-15 silicas were studied by (29)Si solid-state NMR and (15)N NMR in the presence of (15)N-pyridine with the aim to formulate generic structural parameters that may be used as a checklist for atomic-scale structural models of this class of ordered mesoporous materials. High-quality MCM-41 silica constitutes quasi-ideal arrays of uniform-size pores with thin pore walls, while SBA-15 silica has thicker pore walls with framework and surface defects. The numbers of silanol (Q(3)) and silicate (Q(4)) groups were found to be in the ratio of about 1:3 for MCM-41 and about 1:4 for our SBA-15 materials. Combined with the earlier finding that the density of surface silanol groups is about three per nm(2) in MCM-41 (Shenderovich, et al. J. Phys. Chem. B 2003, 107, 11924) this allows us to discriminate between different atomic-scale models of these materials. Neither tridymite nor edingtonite meet both of these requirements. On the basis of the hexagonal pore shape model, the experimental Q(3):Q(4) ratio yields a wall thickness of about 0.95 nm for MCM-41 silica, corresponding to the width of ca. four silica tetrahedra. The arrangement of Q(3) groups at the silica surfaces was analyzed using postsynthesis surface functionalization. It was found that the number of covalent bonds to the surface formed by the functional reagents is affected by the surface morphology. It is concluded that for high-quality MCM-41 silicas the distance between neighboring surface silanol groups is greater than 0.5 nm. As a result, di- and tripodical reagents like (CH(3))(2)Si(OH)(2) and CH(3)Si(OH)(3) can form only one covalent bond to the surface. The residual hydroxyl groups of surface-bonded functional reagents either remain free or interact with other reagent molecules. Accordingly, the number of surface silanol groups at a given MCM-41 or SBA-15 silica may not decrease but increase after treatment with CH(3)Si(OH)(3) reagent. On the other hand, nearly all surface silanol groups could be functionalized when HN(Si(CH(3))(3))(2) was used.     

Mesoporous MCM-41 as Drug Host System

Among the large number of applications of mesoporous MCM-41 materials, we have recently developed their new use as drug delivery system. Since this kind of materials consist on a disordered network of siloxane bridges and free silanol groups, these latter could be the reacting sites against appropriate guest chemical species.In this work, this application of mesoporous MCM-41 as drug delivery system has been studied from the host-guest interaction point of view. Two factors could affect that interaction: the structure of pore wall surface, and the functional groups present in the organic molecule. Hence, two approaches have been performed: functionalising pore wall groups and changing the drug.     

混合超分子液晶模板法合成六方介孔相含钛氧化硅

采用混合十六烷基三甲基溴化铵（CTAB）与不同碳链的脂肪胺（CnNH2n＋3, n=8,10,12,14,16）作模板,在四甲基氢氧化胺为碱源的条件下,合成了具有六方介孔结构的含钛氧化硅Ti MCM 41分子筛材料. XRD和TEM测试表明所合成材料具有高度的长程有序结构,样品的N2吸附/脱附等温线表明,高度有序的Ti MCM 41材料展示了毛细凝聚的陡峭台阶和狭窄的介孔孔径分布.对反应物配比中Ti/Si比、脂肪胺碳链长度n对六方介孔相结构的影响进行了研究,实验发现当Ti/Si< 0.15和n< 16时,均可获得具有六方介孔结构的含钛氧化硅Ti MCM 41;而当Ti/Si≥0.15或n >16时,产物将分别发生从六方向无定形态或从六方向层状介孔相结构的转移,从混合表面活性剂的堆积参数对这种相转移现象进行了分析.     

介孔分子筛MCM-41的水热稳定性

介孔分子筛MCM-41在催化、吸附分离以及化学组装制备先进材料等方面具有潜在的巨大应用价值,但MCM-41的低水热稳定性使其在催化研究领域中的应用受到了极大的限制。因此,提高介孔分子筛的水热稳定性具有十分重要的科研和实际应用意义。笔者对介孔分子筛MCM-41低水热稳定性的原因作了简要分析,并系统地介绍了近几年来在提高介孔分子筛水热稳定性方面的研究工作。     

Preparation, characterization and optical properties of lanthanum-(nanometer MCM-41) composite material

Nanometer MCM-41 molecular sieve was prepared under a base condition by using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as template and tetraethyl orthosilicate as silica source by means of hydrothermal method. Lanthanum(III) was incorporated into the nanometer MCM-41 by a liquid phase grafting method. The prepared nanocomposite materials were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction, spectrophotometric anaylsis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, low temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption technique, solid diffuse reflectance absorption spectra and luminescence. The powder X-ray diffraction studies show that the nanometer MCM-41 molecular sieve is successfully prepared. The highly ordered mesoporous two-dimensional hexagonal channel structure and framework of the support MCM-41 is retained intact in the prepared composite material La-(nanometer MCM-41). The spectrophotometric anaylsis indicates that lanthanum exists in the prepared nanocomposite materials. The Fourier transform infrared spectra indicate that the framework of the MCM-41 molecular sieve still remains in the prepared nanocomposite materials and some framework vibration peaks show blue shifts relative to those of the MCM-41 molecular sieve. The low temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption indicates that the guest locates in the channel of the molecular sieve. Compared with bulk lanthanum oxide, the guest in the channel of the molecular sieve has smaller particle size and shows a significant blue shift of optical absorption band in solid diffuse reflectance absorption spectra. The observed blue shift in the solid state diffuse reflectance absorption spectra of the lanthanum-(nanometer MCM-41) sample show the obvious stereoscopic confinement effect of the channel of the host on the guest, which further indicates the successful encapsulation of the guest in the host. The La-(nanometer MCM-41) sample shows luminescence.
