    Comparison of nano-structured transition metal modified tri-metal MgMAl–LDHs (M = Fe, Zn, Cu, Ni, Co) prepared using co-precipitation

    Comparison of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) synthesised using different methods, conditions and post-treatment is difficult to achieve because these greatly modify their material properties. This paper aims to provide a comparison of material properties for modified quintinite, where all LDHs were synthesised at the same conditions-thus allowing for direct comparison of the material properties obtained. Nano-structured materials were formed in all cases. The nano-structured transition metal (TM) MgMAl-LDHs were synthesised using constant pH co-precipitation. Five TMs (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) were included in the LDH layers with molar substitutions of 0.5%, 1%, 5%, 10%, and 25% based on Mg-replacement for divalent TM cations and Al-replacement for trivalent TM cations. The materials were characterised using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared analysis (ATR-FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and particle size analysis (PSA). The modified LDHs were synthesised free of major by-products and with similar morphologies. It could be shown that the crystallite dimensions varied between the different TM substitutions, that morphological changes were visible for some of the TMs used, that the processability depended on the TMs substituted, and that the substitution of TMs influenced the thermal stability of the LDHs.

    Selective Wacker type oxidation of a macrocyclic diene to the corresponding monounsaturated ketone used as fragrance
    (Cambridge : RSC, 2019) Brunzel, Tom; Heppekausen, Johannes; Panten, Johannes; Köckritz, Angela
    A selective reaction method for the efficient conversion of an isomeric mixture of 1,9-cyclohexadecadiene (1,9-CHDD) to the corresponding monounsaturated cyclohexadec-8-en-1-one (8-CHD) is described. 8-CHD was synthesized via Wacker type oxidation at room temperature using a highly electrophilic in situ formed dicationic palladium species. Isomerisation of the diene and over-oxidation of the substrate could be nearly suppressed by suitable reaction control, which has a positive effect on selectivity. The utilization of molecular oxygen as a green oxidant and environmentally benign iron(iii) salts as co-catalysts was successfully applied. This reaction strategy is promising to overcome the low overall reactivity of internal olefins in Wacker type oxidations. In addition, larger scale experiments showed further potential for industrial application. This journal is © 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
