The copper tellurolate cluster [(Cu6(TePh)6(PEtPh2)5] (1) has been loaded into the pores of a trimethylsilylated MCM-41 (TMS–MCM-41) framework. Solutions of 1 in tetrahydrofuran lead to good impregnation weight % (~10 wt%, 1). The resulting material was analysed by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), nitrogen sorption isotherms, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, 31P CP MAS NMR spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was observed that the loading process proceeds with the intact cluster 1 being present within the hexagonal architecture. The intact nature of 1 makes it an ideal candidate for condensation by photochemical or thermal means. Both of these condensation treatments increase the Cu:Te ratio of 1 to approach that observed in binary semiconductor Cu2Te. The condensation process was analysed by GC–MS spectrometry and characterization of the condensed, isolated composites was performed by TGA, EDX analysis, 31P CP MAS NMR spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption, and TEM measurements. Thermal condensation results in the formation of Cu2Te particles, whereas photochemical condensation yields larger copper-tellurolate nanoclusters.Key words: copper, tellurium, cluster, MCM-41, trimethylsilylated, photolysis, thermolysis, Cu2Te, composite, mesoporous material.

Ordered hexagonally mesoporous molecular sieve Al-MCM-41 with Si/Al (atom) ratio=9 was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis using raw kaolin. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Nitrogen adsorption desorption, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Detector (EDX) were employed to characterise raw kaolin, calcined kaolin, as-synthesized and calcined Al-MCM-41. The results indicated that characteristic reflections of raw kaolin disappeared after calcination, both of as-synthesized and calcined Al-MCM-41 exhibited well ordered hexagonally mesoporous molecular sieve structure.

In this work, the mineralogical characteristics and the assessment of the petroleum potential of organic carbon-rich sedimentary rock (CK sample) originating from the western part of the Central Kongo were the subject of a preliminary analysis and the results were compared with those of Moroccan oil shales. The mineralogical characterization was carried out using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy, Thermal Gravimetry/Differential Thermal Analysis (TG/DTA) and Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM-EDX). The results show that the examined sedimentary rock contain a significant part of minerals, about 80%, consisting of quartz, clays and pyrite, similar to those frequently found in oil shales. The pyrolysis also indicates the presence of volatile matter between 250 and 580°C, attributed to the Organic Matter (OM) disseminated within the sedimentary rock as was shown in several carbon-rich materials. The detection of pyrite in the CK sample reveals the existence of a reducing environment during the preservation period of OM in the source rock. The assessment of the petroleum potential using the basic Rock-Eval method associated with the elemental analysis and 13C Cross Polarization/Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (13C CP/MAS NMR) spectroscopy indicated a very good organic richness (TOC=10.77%), very good petroleum potential (S2=80.4 mgHC/g rock) with the sapropelic OM described as type I kerogen (H/C molar ratio of 1.71) characterized by high hydrogen index (HI=746 mgHC/g TOC) and low oxygen index (OI=13 mgCO2/g TOC) values. The Rock-Eval results were confirmed by 13C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy which shows the exclusive presence of aliphatics. The mineralogical and petroleum characteristics of CK sample show a great resemblance with those of known oil shales such as Moroccan oil shales and its kerogen is probably related to a marine or lacustrine environment which formed in anoxic sedimentary rocks and with a thermal evolution that has just reached the early stage of the oil window

The first stable stannanetriol and germanetriol bearing sterically congested aryl groups were synthesized by hydrolysis of the corresponding trichloro-stannane and -germane. The stannanetriol is monomeric in solution as well as in the crystalline state, as evidenced by X-ray diffraction analysis and CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy. The stannanetriol reacted with silicone grease to afford a cagelike compound having three Sn–O–Si–O–Sn linkages in the molecule. All the group 14 triols can be converted to the corresponding trihalo compounds in good yields.
