- ItemHighly selective visible light-induced Ti–O bond splitting in an ansa-titanocene dihydroxido complex(Cambridge : Soc., 2015) Godemann, Christian; Dura, Laura; Hollmann, Dirk; Grabow, Kathleen; Bentrup, Ursula; Jiao, Haijun; Schulz, Axel; Brückner, Angelika; Beweries, TorstenIrradiation of a substituted ansa-titanocene(IV) dihydroxido complex with visible light induces Ti–O bond dissociation. In contrast to previous studies on structurally similar unbridged complexes, no side reactions are observed and formation of the Ti(III) species is highly selective. The formation of OH radicals was proved using a biradicaloid species.
- ItemThe effect of supported MoOX structures on the reaction pathways of propene formation in the metathesis of ethylene and 2-butene(Cambridge : RSC, 2014) Hahn, T.; Kondratenko, E.V.; Linke, D.The kind of surface MoOX structures on Al2O3–SiO2 was found to determine propene selectivity in the metathesis of ethylene and 2-butene. Compared to isolated tetrahedral MoOX species, their polymerized octahedral counterparts show significantly lower activity for isomerisation of 2- to 1-butene thus hindering non-selective metathesis of these butenes. In addition, they reveal higher ability to engage ethylene in propene formation.
- ItemSynthesis of a molecularly defined single-active site heterogeneous catalyst for selective oxidation of N-heterocycles([London] : Nature Publishing Group UK, 2018) Zhang, Yujing; Pang, Shaofeng; Wei, Zhihong; Jiao, Haijun; Dai, Xingchao; Wang, Hongli; Shi, FengGenerally, a homogeneous catalyst exhibits good activity and defined active sites but it is difficult to recycle. Meanwhile, a heterogeneous catalyst can easily be reused but its active site is difficult to reveal. It is interesting to bridge the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis via controllable construction of a heterogeneous catalyst containing defined active sites. Here, we report that a molecularly defined, single-active site heterogeneous catalyst has been designed and prepared via the oxidative polymerization of maleimide derivatives. These polymaleimide derivatives can be active catalysts for the selective oxidation of heterocyclic compounds to quinoline and indole via the recycling of -C=O and -C-OH groups, which was confirmed by tracing the reaction with GC-MS using maleimide as the catalyst and by FT-IR analysis with polymaleimide as the catalyst. These results might promote the development of heterogeneous catalysts with molecularly defined single active sites exhibiting a comparable activity to homogeneous catalysts.
