RESUMO

The formation of a frustrated Lewis pair consisting of sodium hydride (Na(+) H(-) ) and a framework-bound hydroxy proton O(H(+) ) is reported upon H2 treatment of zeolite NaY loaded with Pt nanoparticles (Ptx /NaY). Frustrated Lewis pair formation was confirmed using in situ neutron diffraction and spectroscopic measurements. The activity of the intrazeolite NaH as a size-selective catalyst was verified by the efficient esterification of acetaldehyde (a small aldehyde) to form the corresponding ester ethyl acetate, whereas esterification of the larger molecule benzaldehyde was unsuccessful. The frustrated Lewis pair (consisting of Na(+) H(-) and O(H(+) )) generated within zeolite NaY may be a useful catalyst for various catalytic reactions which require both H(-) and H(+) ions, such as catalytic hydrogenation or dehydrogenation of organic compounds and activation of small molecules.

RESUMO

Zeolites are three-dimensional aluminosilicates having unique properties from the size and connectivity of their sub-nanometer pores, the Si/Al ratio of the anionic framework, and the charge-balancing cations. The inhomogeneous distribution of the cations affects their catalytic performances because it influences the intra-crystalline diffusion rates of the reactants and products. However, the structural deformation regarding inhomogeneous active regions during the catalysis is not yet observed by conventional analytical tools. Here we employ in situ X-ray free electron laser-based time-resolved coherent X-ray diffraction imaging to investigate the internal deformations originating from the inhomogeneous Cu ion distributions in Cu-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite crystals during the deoxygenation of nitrogen oxides with propene. We show that the interactions between the reactants and the active sites lead to an unusual strain distribution, confirmed by density functional theory simulations. These observations provide insights into the role of structural inhomogeneity in zeolites during catalysis and will assist the future design of zeolites for their applications.

RESUMO

While the one-pot reaction of zirconium metal ions with a mixture of two dicarboxylate heterolinkers yielded a 12-c fcu Zr MOF with randomly distributed linkers, the symmetry-guided stepwise reaction produced the same MOF with both linkers precisely located in the framework. In the latter method, linear terephthalic acid (H2BDC) derivatives with mmm symmetry were inserted into the mmm-symmetry sites of the flexible Zr MOF with 8-c bcu topology (ZRN-bcu), which is composed of zigzag 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid with 2/m symmetry. Although the length of the symmetry-matching BDC2- derivatives was much shorter than the distance between the unlinked nearest-neighbor Zr clusters in ZRN-bcu, induced fitting of the derivatives into the framework was possible, resulting in well-defined locations for the two different dicarboxylate linkers. Thus, controlled synthesis of MOFs with the desired topology and functionality can be achieved using a symmetry-guided approach.

RESUMO

The guest dynamics and thermal behavior occurring in the cages of clathrate hydrates appear to be too complex to be clearly understood through various structural and spectroscopic approaches, even for the well-known structures of sI, sII, and sH. Neutron diffraction studies have recently been carried out to clarify the special role of guests in expanding the host water lattices and have contributed to revealing the influence factors on thermal expansivity. Through this letter we attempt to address three noteworthy features occurring in guest inclusion: (1) the effect of guest dimension on host water lattice expansion; (2) the effect of thermal history on host water lattice expansion; and (3) the effect of coherent/incoherent scattering cross sections on guest thermal patterns. The diatomic guests of H 2, D 2, N 2, and O 2 have been selected for study, and their size and mass dependence on the degree of lattice expansion have been examined, and four sII clathrate hydrates with tetrahydrofuran (THF) have been synthesized in order to determine their neutron powder diffraction patterns. After thermal cycling, the THF + H 2 clathrate hydrate is observed to exhibit an irreversible plastic deformation-like pattern, implying that the expanded lattices fail to recover the original state by contraction. The host-water cage dimension after degassing the guest molecules remains as it was expanded, and thus host-guest as well as guest-guest interactions will be altered if guest uptake reoccurs.

RESUMO

Magnetic oxide semiconductors with wide band gaps have promising spintronic applications, especially in the case of magneto-optic devices. Co-doped ZnO (ZnCoO) has been considered for these applications, but the origin of its ferromagnetism has been controversial for several decades and no substantial progress for a practical application has been made to date. In this paper, we present direct evidence of hydrogen-mediated ferromagnetism and spin polarization in the conduction band of ZnCoO. Electron density mapping reveals the formation of Co-H-Co, in agreement with theoretical predictions. Electron spin resonance measurement elucidates the ferromagnetic nature of ZnCoO by the formation of Co-H-Co. We provide evidence from magnetic circular dichroism measurements supporting the hypothesis that Co-H-Co contributes to the spin polarization of the conduction band of hydrogen-doped ZnCoO.

RESUMO

The unprecedented ternary nanocomposites have been synthesized as a single platform via cross-linking of two nanoporous materials, MOFs and Pt nanoparticle (NP) loaded zeolite. The heterojunction of the novel nanocomposites is anticipated to work as a chemical platform for size selective catalytic hydrogenation or deuteration of small molecules.

RESUMO

Although thermal expansion is a key factor in relation to the host-guest interaction of clathrate hydrates, few studies have investigated the thermal behavior of ionic clathrate hydrates. The existence of ionic species in these hydrates creates a unique host-guest interaction compared to that of nonionic clathrate hydrates. It was revealed that X-ray diffraction cannot be used for research of tetramethylammonium hydroxide clathrate hydrates due to damage of the cations by the X-ray, which results in abnormal thermal expansion of the ionic clathrate hydrates. Hence, in the present work, the thermal expansivities of binary sII Me(4)NOD·16D(2)O and sI DClO(4)·5.5D(2)O were measured by neutron powder diffraction (NPD) in order to shed light on their thermal behavior. General correlations for the thermal behaviors of given structures were established and lattice expansions depending on the guests were compared between ionic and nonionic clathrate hydrates. The peculiar change in the thermal expansivity of binary DClO(4)·5.5D(2)O was also considered in relation to the host-guest configuration.
