The Synthesis and Application of the Mesoporous Molecular Sieves MCM-41 — A Review

We report a “delayed neutralization” process for the preparation of highly-ordered aluminosilicate MCM-41 molecular sieves with high thermal and hydrothermal stability, and sharp pore size distribution. However, the structural order and pore size are dependent on the carbon chain length. In the mixture surfactant systems, the pore size of the MCM-41 materials could be fine-tuned. The pore size can be extended from 2.5 to 4.5 nm by adding a suitable amount of hydrocarbons. The tubular morphology of the MCM-41 material of 0.3 to 10 micrometers diameter, where the wall consists of coaxial cylindrical pores of nanometers MCM-41, can be obtained by careful control of the surfactant-water content and the rate of condensation of silica. An optimum condition for automatic synthesis of the hierarchical TWT structure has been accomplished. The addition of 1-alkanols as cosurfactant would not only improve the order of the MCM-41 hexagonal structure but also promote the formation of micrometer-sized hierarchical materials, for example: tubules-within-tubule and uniform-sized hollow spheres of diameter 5.0 ± 1.0 μm. However, the inside of the micron spheres has intricate structures possessing various topological genus ranks. The MCM-41 is a good supporter for Molybdenum oxide catalysts. The rate of deactivation in the catalytic reaction of ethyl-benzene dehydrogenation to styrene increases in the order: M_T < M_P < SiO₂. The physically mixed samples have higher catalytic activity than impregnated ones.     

Triple Self‐Sorting in Constitutional Dynamic Networks: Parallel Generation of Imine‐Based CuI,FeII, and ZnII Complexes

Three imine‐based metal complexes, having no overlap in terms of their compositions, have been simultaneously generated from the self‐sorting of a constitutional dynamic library (CDL) containing three amines, three aldehydes, and three metal salts. The hierarchical ordering of the stability of the three metal complexes assembled and the leveraging of the antagonistic and agonistic relationships existing between the constituents within the constitutional dynamic network corresponding to the CDL were pivotal in achieving the sorting. Examination of the process by NMR spectroscopy showed that the self‐sorting of the Fe^II and Zn^II complexes depended on an interplay between the thermodynamic driving forces and a kinetic trap involved in their assembly. These results also exemplify the concept of “simplexity”—the fact that the output of a self‐assembling system may be simplified by increasing its initial compositional complexity—as the two complexes could self‐sort only in the presence of the third pair of organic components, those of the Cu^I complex.

Visible-Light Switching of Metallosupramolecular Assemblies**

A photoswitchable ligand and palladium(II) ions form a dynamic mixture of self-assembled metallosupramolecular structures. The photoswitching ligand is an ortho-fluoroazobenzene with appended pyridyl groups. Combining the E-isomer with palladium(II) salts affords a double-walled triangle with composition [Pd₃L₆]⁶⁺ and a distorted tetrahedron [Pd₄L₈]⁸⁺ (1 : 2 ratio at 298 K). Irradiation with 410 nm light generates a photostationary state with approximately 80 % of the E-isomer of the ligand and results in the selective disassembly of the tetrahedron, the more thermodynamically stable structure, and the formation of the triangle, the more kinetically inert product. The triangle is then slowly transformed back into the tetrahedron over 2 days at 333 K. The Z-isomer of the ligand does not form any well-defined structures and has a thermal half-life of 25 days at 298 K. This approach shows how a thermodynamically preferred self-assembled structure can be reversibly pumped to a kinetic trap by small perturbations of the isomer distribution using non-destructive visible light.     

On the extendedness of eigenstates in a hierarchical lattice: A critical view

We take a critical view at the basic definition of extended single particle states in a non-translationally invariant system. For this, we present the case of a hierarchical lattice and incorporate long range interactions that are also distributed in a hierarchical fashion. We show that it is possible to explicitly construct eigenstates with constant amplitudes (normalized to unity) at every lattice point for special values of the electron-energy. However, the end-to-end transmission, corresponding to the above energy of the electron in such a hierarchical system depends strongly on a special correlation between the numerical values of the parameters of the Hamiltonian. Keeping the energy and the distribution of the amplitudes invariant, one can transform the lattice from conducting to insulating simply by tuning the numerical values of the long range interaction. The values of these interactions themselves display a fractal character.     

Projected subgradient techniques and viscosity methods for optimization with variational inequality constraints

In this paper, we propose an easily implementable algorithm in Hilbert spaces for solving some classical monotone variational inequality problem over the set of solutions of mixed variational inequalities. The proposed method combines two strategies: projected subgradient techniques and viscosity-type approximations. The involved stepsizes are controlled and a strong convergence theorem is established under very classical assumptions. Our algorithm can be applied for instance to some mathematical programs with complementarity constraints.
