Pt Catalyzed

Homogeneous catalysts PtCl2[5,5′-bis-(n-ClCF2(CF2)3CH2OCH2)-2,2′-bpy] (2A) and PtCl2[5,5′-bis-(n-HCF2(CF2)3CH2OCH2)-2,2′-bpy] (2B), which contained short fluorous chains, were synthesized and used in catalysis of hydrosilylation of alkynes. In these reactions the thermomorphic mode was effectively used to recover these catalysts from the reaction mixture up to eight cycles by taking advantage of heterogeneous phase separation at ice temperature. This kind of catalysis had previously been observed in fluorous catalysts of platinum containing about 50% F-content, but in this work the percentage of F-content is decreased to only about 30%, by which we termed them as “very light fluorous”. Our new type of catalyst with limited number of F-content is considered as the important discovery in the fluorous technology field as the reduced number of fluorine atoms will help to be able to comply the EPA 8-carbon rule. The metal leaching after the reaction has been examined by ICP-MS, and the testing results show the leaching of residual metal to be minimal. Additionally, comparing these results to our previous work, fluorous chain assisted selectivity has been observed when different fluorous chain lengths of the catalysts are used. It has been found that there exists fluorous chain assisted better selectivity towards β-(E) form in the Pt-catalyzed hydrosilylation of non-symmetric terminal alkyne when the Pt catalyst contains short fluorous chain (i.e., 4 Cs). Phenyl acetylenes showed the opposite regioselectivity due to pi-pi interaction while using the same catalyst via Markovnikov’s addition to form terminal vinyl silane, which is then a major product for Pt-catalyzed hydrosilylation of terminal aryl acetylene with triethylsilane. Finally, the kinetic studies indicate that the insertion of alkyne into the Pt-H bond is the rate-determining step.

Reactions of aryl 1-(2,4-dinitronaphthyl) ethers with piperidine in dimethyl sulfoxide at 25oC resulted in substitution of the aryloxy group at the ipso carbon atom. The reaction was measured spectrophotochemically and the kinetic studies suggested that the titled reaction is accurately third order. The mechanism is began by fast nucleophilic attack of piperidine on C1 to form zwitterion intermediate (I) followed by deprotonation of zwitterion intermediate (I) to the Meisenheimer ion (II) in a slow step, that is, SB catalysis. The regular variation of activation parameters suggested that the reaction proceeded through a common mechanism. The Hammett equation using reaction constant σo values and Brønsted coefficient value showed that the reaction is poorly dependent on aryloxy substituent and the reaction was significantly associative and Meisenheimer intermediate-like. The mechanism of piperidinolysis has been theoretically investigated using density functional theory method using B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) computational level. The combination between experimental and computational studies predicts what mechanism is followed either through uncatalyzed or catalyzed reaction pathways, that is, SB and SB-GA. The global parameters of the reactants, the proposed activated complexes, and the local Fukui function analysis explained that C1 carbon atom is the most electrophilic center of ether. Also, kinetics and theoretical calculation of activation energies indicated that the mechanism of the piperidinolysis passed through a two-step mechanism and the proton transfer process was the rate determining step.

AbstractThe occurrence of 4.8–7.2 million tons of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers stocked in dumpsites around the world constitutes a huge environmental and economical challenge because of their toxicity and persistence. Alkaline treatment of an HCH mixture in a dehydrochlorination reaction is hampered by the low reactivity of the β-HCH isomer (HCl elimination unavoidably occurring through syn H–C–C–Cl arrangements). More intriguingly, the preferential formation of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene in the β-HCH dehydrochlorination reaction (despite the larger thermodynamical stability of the 1,3,5-isomer) has remained unexplained up to now, though several kinetic studies had been reported. In this paper, we firstly show a detailed Density Functional study on all paths for the hydroxide anion-induced elimination of β-HCH through a three-stage reaction mechanism (involving two types of reaction intermediates). We have now demonstrated that the first reaction intermediate can follow several alternative paths, the preferred route involving abstraction of the most acidic allylic hydrogen which leads to a second reaction intermediate yielding only 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene as the final reaction product. Our theoretical results allow explaining the available experimental data on the β-HCH dehydrochlorination reaction (rate-determining step, regioselectivity, instability of some reaction intermediates).

Alcohol Conversion

Catalytic conversion of biomass-derived feedstock to high-value chemicals is of remarkable significance for alleviating dependence on fossil energy resources. MgAl spinel-supported Pt catalysts were prepared and used in furfuryl alcohol conversion. The approaches to tune the reaction selectivity toward pentanediols (PeDs) were investigated and the catalytic performance was correlated to the catalysts’ physicochemical properties based on comprehensive characterizations. It was found that 1–8 wt% Pt was highly dispersed on the MgAl2O4 support as nanoparticles with small sizes of 1–3 nm. The reaction selectivity did not show dependence on the size of Pt nanoparticles. Introducing LiOH onto the support effectively steered the reaction products toward the PeDs at the expense of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) selectivity. Meanwhile, the major product in PeDs was shifted from 1,5-PeD to 1,2-PeD. The reasons for the PeDs selectivity enhancement were attributed to the generation of a large number of medium-strong base sites on the Li-modified Pt catalyst. The reaction temperature is another effective factor to tune the reaction selectivity. At 230 °C, PeDs selectivity was enhanced to 77.4% with a 1,2-PeD to 1,5-PeD ratio of 3.7 over 4Pt/10Li/MgAl2O4. The Pt/Li/MgAl2O4 catalyst was robust to be reused five times without deactivation.

ABSTRACTThe structure of several classes of silica/siloxane molecular composites is investigated using small-angle x-ray and neutron scattering. These filled elastomers can be prepared through different synthethic protocols leading to a range of fillers including particulates with both rough and smooth surfaces, particulates with dispersed interfaces, and polymeric networks. We also find examples of bicontinuous filler phases that we attribute to phase separation via spinodal decomposition. In-situ kinetic studies of particulate fillers show that the precipitate does not develop by conventional nucleation-and-growth. We see no evidence of growth by ripening whereby large particles grow by consumption of small particles. Rather, there appears to be a limiting size set by the elastomer network itself. Phase separation develops by continuous nucleation of particles and subsequent growth to the limiting size. We also briefly report studies of polymer-toughened glasses. In this case, we find no obvious correlation between organic content and structure.

ABSTRACTWe present new results of kinetic studies of the deposition of high quality a-Si:H which strongly support the reaction mechanism suggested in our earlier papers: 1. SiH4 → SiH2; 2. SiH2 + SiS4 → Si2H6 (SiH2 + Si2H6 → Si3H6); 3. Si2H6 → 2a-Si:H (Si3H8 → 3a-Si:H). The “SiH3 mechanism”, as promoted by several workers, is in contradiction with these experimental facts.The di- and trisilane, which have a much higher reactive sticking coefficient than monosilane, play the role of reactive intermediates which facilitate the heterogeneous decomposition of silicon carrying species at the surface of the growing film. The values of the reactive sticking coefficient of Si2H6 and Si3H8 depend on the surface coverage by chemisorbed hydrogen; they increase with decreasing surface coverage. Under the conditions of the growth of high quality a-Si:H films the reactive sticking coefficient of disilane amounts to 10−4 to 10−2 which is in a good agreement with recent data of other authors.The rate determining step of the growth of high quality a-Si:H films is the desorption of hydrogen from the surface of the growing film. This can be strongly enhanced by ion bombardment at impact energy of <100 eV. In this way, homogeneous, good quality films were deposited at rates up to 1800 Angströms/min, and there is a well justified hope that this rate can be further increased.
