Cu-exchanged small-pore zeolites (CHA and AEI) form methanol from methane (>95% selectivity) using a 3-step cyclic procedure (Wulfers et al. Chem. Commun. 2015, 51, 4447-4450) with methanol amounts higher than Cu-ZSM-5 and Cu-mordenite on a per gram and per Cu basis. Here, the CuxOy species formed on Cu-SSZ-13 and Cu-SSZ-39 following O-2 or He activation at w450 degrees C are identified as trans-mu-1,2-peroxo dicopper(II) ([Cu2O2](2+)) and mono-(mu-oxo) dicopper(II) ([Cu2O](2+)) using synchrotron X-ray diffraction, in situ UV vis, and Raman spectroscopy and theory. [Cu2O](2+). and [Cu2O](2+) formed on Cu-SSZ-13 showed ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) energies between 22,200 and 35,000 cm(-1), Cu-O vibrations at 360, 510, 580, and 617 cm-(1) and an 0-0 vibration at 837 cm(-1). The vibrations at 360, 510, 580, and 837 cm(-1) are assigned to the trans-mu-1,2-peroxo dicopper(II) species, whereas the Cu-O vibration at 617 cm(-1) (Delta O-18 = 24 cm(-1)) is assigned to a stretching vibration of a thermodynamically favored mono-(mu-oxo) dicopper(II) with a Cu-O-Cu angle of 95 degrees. On the basis of the intensity loss of the broad LMCT band between 22,200 and 35,000 cm(-1) and Raman intensity loss at 571 cm(-1) upon reaction, both the trans-mu-1,2-peroxo dicopper(II) and mono-(mu-oxo) dicopper(II) species are suggested to take part in methane activation at 200 degrees C with the trans-mu-1,2-peroxo dicopper(II) core playing a dominant role. A relationship between the [Cu2Oy](2+) concentration and Cu(II) at the eight-membered ring is observed and related to the concentration of [CuOH]+ suggested as an intermediate in [Cu2Oy](2+) formation.

Oxidation of Benzene to Phenol by N2O on an Fe2+-ZSM-5 Cluster: A Density Functional Theory Study Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; van Santen, Rutger A.; Önal, Işık (2009-08-27) Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out in a study of the oxidation of benzene to phenol by N2O on an Fe2+-ZSM-5 cluster. The catalytic cycle has been studied oil a model [Si6Al2O9H14Fe] cluster. It is found that Fe2+ is preferred over Fe1+ as a site for phenol oxidation. A high desorption value of 126.4 kJ/mol suggests that at low temperature phenol desorption is the rate limiting step on the Fe2+-ZSM-5 cluster. It competes with the N2O decomposition step. The computed activation ener...
Effect of silver encapsulation on the local structure of titanosilicate ETS-10 GALIOGLU, Sezin; ZAHMAKIRAN, Mehmet; Kalay, Yunus Eren; Özkar, Saim; Akata, Burcu (2012-09-01) Silver(0) nanoparticles stabilized by titanosilicate (ETS-10) framework were synthesized by following a simple two step procedure involving the incorporation of silver(I) (Ag+) ions into ETS-10 matrix via ion-exchange with extra framework Na+ and K+ cations followed by their reduction with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in aqueous medium all at room temperature. Silver(0) nanoparticles dispersed in the ETS-10 matrix were collected as gray powders and characterized by using advanced analytical methods including ...
Synthesis of beta-chloro-alpha-aminophosphonate derivatives via the regioselective ring opening of unactivated aziridine-2-phosphonates Polat-Cakir, Sidika; BEKSULTANOVA, Nurzhan; Doğan, Özdemir (Informa UK Limited, 2018-12-02) A series of unactivated racemic and chiral aziridine-2-phosphonates were synthesized by modified Gabriel-Cromwell reaction. Ring opening reaction of the synthesized phosphonates by gaseous HCl provided access to a wide range of biologically interesting novel beta-chloro-alpha-aminophosphonates. All reactions toward each of the above-mentioned products can be conducted regioselectively in high yields.
Synthesis of New Thienylene Pyrrole Monomers and Their Electropolymerizations Eken, Serap; Carbas, Buket Bezgin; Akdağ, Akın; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (The Electrochemical Society, 2014-01-01) In this study, four new 2,5-dithienylpyrroles (SNS) 1-(3-fluoro-phenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (m-FPTP), 1-(3-chlorophenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (m-ClPTP), 1-(3-bromo-phenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (m-BrPTP) and 1-(4-bromo-phenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (p-BrPTP) containing meta and para substituted benzene ring at the nitrogen atom were synthesized via Paal-Knorr condensation of 1,4-di(2-thienyl)-1,4-butanedione with corresponding halo-substituted anilines. The mon...
Preparation and characterization of zeolite beta-polyurethane composite membranes Aksoy, Eda Ayse; Akata, Burcu; Bac, Nurcan; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2007-06-05) Incorporation of zeolite into polyurethane (PU) membranes was investigated by using as-synthesized and calcined zeolite beta particles at two different loading contents (0.1 and 1 wt %). The chemical interaction between the zeolite beta crystals and PU was observed by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The SEM results suggested that the calcined zeolite beta crystals were more homogeneously dispersed in the composite membranes than the assynthesized zeolite beta crystals. DMA results demonstrated that all composite mem...
