Aluminium based binary catalytic system for the solvent free conversion of CO₂ to carbonates with high activity and selectivity.

ABSTRACT: An easily prepared and low-cost aluminium based metal complex catalyst was prepared using kojic acid (Hkoj) as a ligand, and this developed oxo-coordinated Al(koj)₃ complex showed high activity and selectivity for the CO₂ fixation reaction with epoxides under mild conditions without any organic solvents. Various cyclic carbonates were obtained in excellent yields (up to 99%). This stable catalytically active Al(koj)₃ has strong Lewis acidity for the activation of epoxides, and meanwhile the hydroxy group in Al(koj)₃ may play a role in boosting the catalytic activity through possible hydrogen bonding interactions with the epoxide.

Cycloaddition of atmospheric CO2 to epoxides under solvent-free conditions: a straightforward route to carbonates by green chemistry metrics.

Project description:The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added organic compounds has received more and more attention over recent years, not only because this gas is one of the major anthropogenic greenhouse gases, but also because it has been regarded as an abundant, inexpensive, nontoxic, nonflammable, and renewable one-carbon (C1) resource. Along these lines, the synthesis of five-membered cyclic carbonates employing CO2 as a safe alternative to toxic reagents such as phosgene or its derivatives is of great interest because of their wide range of applications in organic synthesis. However, most of CO2 incorporation reactions into carbonates are carried out in toxic and non-recyclable organic solvents. Furthermore, these transformations usually proceed at elevated pressures or supercritical CO2 conditions. Recently, several catalytic systems have been developed that allow the synthesis of functionalized carbonates from the reaction of atmospheric CO2 with corresponding epoxides under solvent-free conditions. This review is an attempt to summarize the most important advances and discoveries in this interesting research arena. The review is divided into three major sections. The first section will discuss ionic liquid catalyzed coupling reactions. The second will cover organocatalyzed reactions. The third focuses exclusively on metal-catalyzed fixations. Notably, the third section has been classified based on the metal element that carries out the catalysis (i.e. copper, palladium, zinc).

Atmospheric-Pressure Conversion of CO2 to Cyclic Carbonates over Constrained Dinuclear Iron Catalysts.

Project description:The conversion of CO2 and epoxides to cyclic carbonates over a silica-supported di-iron(III) complex having a reduced Robson macrocycle ligand system is shown to proceed at 1 atm and 80 °C, exclusively producing the cis-cyclohexene carbonate from cyclohexene oxide. We examine the effect of immobilization configuration to show that the complex grafted in a semirigid configuration catalytically outperforms the rigid, flexible configurations and even the homogeneous counterparts. Using the semirigid catalyst, we are able to obtain a TON of up to 800 and a TOF of up to 37 h-1 under 1 atm CO2. The catalyst is shown to be recyclable with only minor leaching and no change to product selectivity. We further examine a range of epoxides with varying electron-withdrawing/donating properties. This work highlights the benefit arising from the constraining effect of a solid surface, akin to the role of hydrogen bonds in enzyme catalysts, and the importance of correctly balancing it.

Diversity-Oriented Metal Decoration on UiO-Type Metal-Organic Frameworks: an Efficient Approach to Increase CO2 Uptake and Catalytic Conversion to Cyclic Carbonates.

Project description:A library of metallo-bipyridine UiO-type metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been successfully synthesized by postmetallation of a wide range of metal complexes into bidentate bipyridine moieties. Then, a systematic investigation is devoted to a catalytic evaluation of the resultant MOFs containing a binary Lewis acid function for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide (CO2). The result indicated that the metal-grafted MOFs exhibit improvement in terms of CO2 uptake capacity and catalytic activity in comparison with their nonmetallated counterparts. The comprehensive investigation provides a valuable insight into the synergetic effects of MOF functionalities including metal node, grafted metal, and its counterion in the cycloaddition reaction. Furthermore, the metal coordination modulation due to its benefits such as being a solvent-free process, nearly full conversion to cyclic carbonates, high selectivity and high CO2 uptake, applying atmospheric CO2 pressure, and excellent stability and easy recyclability of the catalyst demonstrates them as promising candidates for practical utilization of CO2 conversion into value-added chemicals.

Auto-Tandem Catalytic Reductive Hydroformylation in a CO2-Switchable Solvent System.

Project description:Upgradation of olefin-enriched Fischer-Tropsch cuts by the synthesis of alcohols leads to drop-in-capable biosynthetic fuels with low carbon emissions. As an alternative to the conventional two-step production of long-chain alcohols, tandem catalytic systems improve the energy and resource efficiency. Herein, we present an auto-tandem catalytic system for the production of alcohols from olefin-paraffin mixtures. By utilization of a tertiary alkanolamine as the ligand as well as the switchable component in the solvent system, a lean reaction system capable of catalyst recycling was developed. The system was characterized with regard to the switchable solvent separation approach and reaction parameters, resulting in alcohol yields of up to 99.5% and turnover frequencies of up to 764 h-1. By recycling the catalyst in 10 consecutive reactions, a total turnover number of 2810 was achieved.

Catalytic Co-Conversion of CH4 and CO2 Mediated by Rhodium-Titanium Oxide Anions RhTiO2.

Project description:Catalytic co-conversion of methane with carbon dioxide to produce syngas (2 H2 +2 CO) involves complicated elementary steps and almost all the elementary reactions are performed at the same high temperature conditions in practical thermocatalysis. Here, we demonstrate by mass spectrometric experiments that RhTiO2 - promotes the co-conversion of CH4 and CO2 to free 2 H2 +CO and an adsorbed CO (COads ) at room temperature; the only elementary step that requires the input of external energy is desorption of COads from the RhTiO2 CO- to reform RhTiO2 - . This study not only identifies a promising active species for dry (CO2 ) reforming of methane to syngas, but also emphasizes the importance of temperature control over elementary steps in practical catalysis, which may significantly alleviate the carbon deposition originating from the pyrolysis of methane.

Project description:The mechanochemical, solvent-free, highly regioselective, rhodium-catalyzed C-H methylation of (hetero)arenes is reported. The reaction shows excellent functional-group compatibility and is demonstrated to work for the late-stage C-H methylation of biologically active compounds. The method requires no external heating and benefits from considerably shorter reaction times than previous solution-based C-H methylation protocols. Additionally, the mechanochemical approach is shown to enable the efficient synthesis of organometallic complexes that are difficult to generate conventionally.

Catalytic nanosponges of acidic aluminosilicates for plastic degradation and CO2 to fuel conversion.

Project description:The synthesis of solid acids with strong zeolite-like acidity and textural properties like amorphous aluminosilicates (ASAs) is still a challenge. In this work, we report the synthesis of amorphous "acidic aluminosilicates (AAS)", which possesses Brønsted acidic sites like in zeolites and textural properties like ASAs. AAS catalyzes different reactions (styrene oxide ring-opening, vesidryl synthesis, Friedel-Crafts alkylation, jasminaldehyde synthesis, m-xylene isomerization, and cumene cracking) with better performance than state-of-the-art zeolites and amorphous aluminosilicates. Notably, AAS efficiently converts a range of waste plastics to hydrocarbons at significantly lower temperatures. A Cu-Zn-Al/AAS hybrid shows excellent performance for CO2 to fuel conversion with 79% selectivity for dimethyl ether. Conventional and DNP-enhanced solid-state NMR provides a molecular-level understanding of the distinctive Brønsted acidic sites of these materials. Due to their unique combination of strong acidity and accessibility, AAS will be a potential alternative to zeolites.

Catalytic conversion of diformylxylose to furfural in biphasic solvent systems.

Project description:Biobased furfural is a sustainable alternative to petrochemical intermediates for bulk chemicals and fuel production. However, existing methods for the conversion of xylose or lignocelluloses in mono-/bi-phasic systems to furfural involve non-selective sugar isolation or lignin condensation, limiting the valorisation of lignocelluloses. Herein, we used diformylxylose (DFX), a xylose derivative that is formed during the lignocellulosic fractionation process with formaldehyde protection, as a substitute for xylose to produce furfural in biphasic systems. Under kinetically optimized conditions, over 76 mol% of DFX could be converted to furfural in water-methyl isobutyl ketone system at a high reaction temperature with a short reaction time. Finally, isolation of xylan in eucalyptus wood as DFX with formaldehyde protection followed by converting DFX in a biphasic system gave a final furfural yield of 52 mol% (on the basis of xylan in wood), which was more than two times of that without formaldehyde. Combined with the value-added utilization of formaldehyde-protected lignin, this study would enable the full and efficient utilization of lignocellulosic biomass components and further improve the economics of the formaldehyde protection fractionation process.

A nonmetallic plasmonic catalyst for photothermal CO2 flow conversion with high activity, selectivity and durability.

Project description:The meticulous design of active sites and light absorbers holds the key to the development of high-performance photothermal catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation. Here, we report a nonmetallic plasmonic catalyst of Mo2N/MoO2-x nanosheets by integrating a localized surface plasmon resonance effect with two distinct types of active sites for CO2 hydrogenation. Leveraging the synergism of dual active sites, H2 and CO2 molecules can be simultaneously adsorbed and activated on N atom and O vacancy, respectively. Meanwhile, the plasmonic effect of this noble-metal-free catalyst signifies its promising ability to convert photon energy into localized heat. Consequently, Mo2N/MoO2-x nanosheets exhibit remarkable photothermal catalytic performance in reverse water-gas shift reaction. Under continuous full-spectrum light irradiation (3 W·cm-2) for a duration of 168 h, the nanosheets achieve a CO yield rate of 355 mmol·gcat-1·h-1 in a flow reactor with a selectivity exceeding 99%. This work offers valuable insights into the precise design of noble-metal-free active sites and the development of plasmonic catalysts for reducing carbon footprints.
