Thermal Expansion in the Zr and 1-, 2-valent Complex Phosphates of NaZr2(PO4)3 (NZP) Structure

A_5–4xZr_xZr(PO₄)₃ (A=Na, K;0≤x≤1.25), Na_1-xCd_0.5xZr₂(PO₄)₃ (0≤x≤1), Na_5–xCd_0.5xZr(PO₄)₃ (0≤x≤4) compositions which belong to the NZP structural family were synthesized using the sol-gel method. The lattice thermal expansion of members of these rows were determined up to 600°C by high-temperature X-ray diffractometry. The axial thermal expansion coefficients change from -5.8·10^-6to 7.5·10^-6 °C^-1 (α_a) and from 2.6·10^–6 to 22·10^–6 °C^-1 (α_c). These results, in addition to those for other NZP compounds allow us to explain their low thermal expansion. The mechanism can be attributed to strongly bonded three-dimensional network structure, the existence of structural holes capable to damp some of the thermal vibrations and anisotropyin the thermal expansion of the lattice.

α‐ZrP/Uracil/Cu2+ nanoparticles as an efficient catalyst in the Morita‐Baylis‐Hillman reaction

A facile synthesis of uracil‐Cu²⁺ nanoparticles immobilized on alpha‐zirconium hydrogen phosphate (α‐ZrP), abbreviated as α‐ZrP/Uracil/Cu²⁺, was presented. This compound was synthesized by the thermal method and used as a reusable catalyst for the Morita‐Baylis‐Hillman reaction without any additives. First, (3‐ iodopropyl) trimethoxysilane as a linker is reacted with α‐ZrP support to give the α‐ZrP/IPTMOS. Addition of uracil and then the addition of copper (II) acetate to α‐ZrP/IPTMOS results in the production of selected catalyst. The Morita‐Baylis‐Hillman reaction catalyzed by α‐ZrP/Uracil/Cu^{2 +} demonstrated high product yield, short reaction time and a straightforward work‐up. The catalyst with enough outside surface was easily recovered using centrifugation and reused five times without a significant reduction in its activity.

Zirconium–Porphyrin‐Based Metal–Organic Framework Hollow Nanotubes for Immobilization of Noble‐Metal Single Atoms

Single atoms immobilized on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with unique nanostructures have drawn tremendous attention in the application of catalysis but remain a great challenge. Various single noble‐metal atoms have now been successfully anchored on the well‐defined anchoring sites of the zirconium porphyrin MOF hollow nanotubes, which are probed by aberration‐corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron‐radiation‐based X‐ray absorption fine‐structure spectroscopy. Owing to the hollow structure and excellent photoelectrochemical performance, the HNTM‐Ir/Pt exhibits outstanding catalytic activity in the visible‐light photocatalytic H₂ evolution via water splitting. The single atom immobilized on MOFs with hollow structures are expected to pave the way to expand the potential applications of MOFs.
