In this comparative study of dispersion profile-catalytic performance relationships, Pt (of 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 wt%) was supported on mesoporous silica surface via microwave assisted solution method or rotary chemical evaporation method in the in situ reduction step.

SiO2 nanoparticles have been synthesized by combining Stober’s method and nonsurfactant process. The diameters and pore sizes can be controlled by altering the template and its concentration. Mesoporous SiO2 obtained this way has extremely large surface area compared with most oxide supports, which benefits the catalytic performance. Pt nanoparticles were in situ grown on and in mesoporous SiO2 nanoparticles with low amount of the metal and high load ratio. Furthermore, we firstly developed a novel route, called “one-pot” method, to prepare Pt/SiO2 catalyst where mesoporous silica preparing and Pt loading occurred in one step. This method is more efficient in saving reagent, since it can prevent Pt loss. In the meantime, it enables the template to reduce agent. The catalytic activity of Pt/SiO2 samples was measured by CO oxidation. It is indicated that the supporting silica with mesopores is more active than silica with micropores.

In this work, the photocatalytic performance of electrochemically exfoliated graphite (EG) with low copper addition (≤ 5 wt.%) was studied. Composites of EG/Cu/Cu2O were successfully prepared by microwave-assisted in situ reduction method. FTIR spectra of the samples showed that the main functional groups of graphite were detected in the samples. XRD characterization further proved the presence of EG, Cu, and Cu2O in the samples. The higher proportion of Cu2O presented in the samples prepared with a higher amount of Cu2+. SEM analysis showed that Cu2O/Cu particles were homogeneously deposited on the surface of EG. The composites of EG, Cu, and Cu2O with a varied amount of Cu (1 and 5 wt. %) in EG / Cu2+ mixture were examined as photocatalyst in the degradation process of Rhodamine B (RhB). The photocatalytic degradation of RhB was analysed by observing its decolorization within a set time of irradiation. UV-Vis analysis revealed that the degradation of RhB in EG/Cu/Cu2O A and B for 105 minutes was 26 and 35 %, respectively. The result demonstrates that the sample with a larger amount of Cu2O (sample B, Cu 5 wt.%) shows higher photocatalytic activity in the degradation of RhB.

The syntheses of five new spiro -linked bis-macrocyles, incorporating four ether oxygen and four or six secondary nitrogen heteroatoms , are reported. Two strategies were employed-the first involved the condensation of a spiro tetraaldehyde with 2 equiv. of ethane-1,2-diamine or propane-1,3-diamine or 2,2′-diaminodiethylamine followed by in situ reduction of the resulting intermediate tetraimines . The second procedure began with pentaerythrityl tetraamine [C(CH2NH2)4] which was then condensed with 2 equiv. of a dialdehyde moiety in which two ether oxygen atoms, bridged by either two or three methylene groups, were incorporated in its backbone. A related in situ reduction step to that employed in the first procedure then yielded the required double-ring macrocycles. For use in comparative studies, the corresponding single-ring macrocycles were also synthesized where they had not been reported previously.
