The use of microporous materials with ordered porous structures as the hosts to encapsulate metal nanoclusters has attracted particular interest in catalysis because the pore size restriction could limit the growth of nanoclusters and lead to an increase in the percentage of the catalytically active surface atoms. This letter reports the preparation of ruthenium(0) nanoclusters stabilized by the framework of Zeolite-Y by using a simple, easy, efficient method and their superb catalytic activities in two important reactions: the hydrogenation of arenes (benzene, toluene, o-xylene, mesitylene) and the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride, all at room temperature. Particularly, the intrazeolite ruthenium(0) nanoclusters exhibit unprecedented catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of neat benzene at 22.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C and 40 +/- 1 psig H-2 with a record TOF of 1040 mol benzene/mol Ru center dot h.

The preparation and characterization of zeolite framework stabilized ruthenium(0) nanoclusters; a superb catalyst for the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride and the hydrogenation of aromatics under mild conditions Zahmakıran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim; Department of Chemistry (2010) The use of microporous materials with ordered porous structures as the hosts to stabilize metal nanoclusters has attracted particular interest in the catalysis because the pore size restriction could confine the growth of nanoclusters and lead to an increase in the percentage of catalytically active surface atoms. In this dissertation we report the preparation, characterization and the investigation of the catalytic performance of zeolite framework stabilized ruthenium(0) nanoclusters in the hydrolysis of s...
Nanoalumina-supported rhodium(0) nanoparticles as catalyst in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane Ozhava, Derya; Özkar, Saim (2017-10-01) Rhodium(0) nanoparticles were in situ formed from the reduction of rhodium(II) octanoate and supported on the surface of nanoalumina yielding Rh(0)/nanoAl(2)O(3) which is highly active catalyst in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. The kinetics of nanoparticle formation can be followed just by monitoring the volume of hydrogen gas evolved from the methanolysis of ammonia borane. The evaluation of the kinetic data gives valuable insights to the slow, continuous n...
Water soluble polymer stabilized iron(0) nanoclusters: a cost effective and magnetically recoverable catalyst in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane Dinç, Melek; Özkar, Saim; Department of Chemistry (2011) The property transition metal nanoclusters are more active catalysts than their bulk counterparts because of increasing proportion of surface atoms with decreasing paricle size. The development of efficient and economical catalysts to further improve the kinetic properties under moderate conditions is therefore important for the practical application of nanoclusters as catalyst in the hydrogen generation from hydrolysis of ammonia borane this. In this regard, the development of active iron catalysts is a de...
INTRAZEOLITE PHOTOTOPOTAXY - EXAFS ANALYSIS OF PRECURSOR 8(W(CO)6)-NA56Y AND PHOTOOXIDATION PRODUCTS 16(WO3)-NA56Y AND 28(WO3)-NA56Y MOLLER, K; BEIN, T; Özkar, Saim; OZIN, GA (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1991-06-01) The intrazeolite photooxidation chemistry of alpha-cage encapsulated hexacarbonyltungsten(0) in Na56Y with O2, denoted n{W(CO)6}-Na56Y/O2/hv, which has previously been shown to provide a novel synthetic pathway to alpha-cage located tungsten(VI) oxide, denoted n(WO3)-Na56Y, is now the subject of an extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis. The EXAFS data of a precursor 8{W(CO)6}Na56Y, which contains on average one W(CO)6 per alpha-cage shows that the W(CO)6 guest maintains its structural in...
Thermal decomposition of polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) coordinated to co nanoparticles Elmaci, Ayşegül; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Kayran, Ceyhan; Sakellariou, Georgios; Hadjichristidis, Nikos (2009-11-01) Direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry analyses of polystyrene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridne), PS-b-P2VP, indicated that the thermal degradation of each component occurred independently through the decomposition pathways proposed for the corresponding homopolymers; depolymerization for PS and depolymerization and loss of protonated oligomers for P2VP by a more complex degradation mechanism. On the other hand, upon coordination to cobalt nanoparticles, thermal decomposition of the P2VP blocks was initiated by loss o...
