Engineering Frustrated Lewis Pair Active Sites in Porous Organic Scaffolds for Catalytic CO2 Hydrogenation

Shubhajit Das, Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Jacob Terence Blaskovits

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs), featuring reactive combinations of Lewis acids and Lewis bases, have been utilized for myriad metal-free homogeneous catalytic processes. Immobilizing the active Lewis sites to a solid support, especially to porous scaffolds, ...

Lewis acid catalyzed [4+2] annulation of bicyclobutanes with dienol ethers for the synthesis of bicyclo[4.1.1]octanes

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai

Bicyclic carbocycles containing a high fraction of Csp3 have become highly attractive synthetic targets because of the multiple applications they have found in medicinal chemistry. The formal cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes (BCBs) with two- or three-atom p ...

Solvent- and catalyst-free reduction of CO2 with ammonia borane

Andreas Züttel, Youngdon Ko, Liping Zhong

Ammonia borane (AB) has been extensively studied as a solid-state hydrogen storage material. On the other hand, its reactivity with CO2 is still unclear, especially in the solid state. By carefully controlling the CO2 pressure and temperature, AB efficient ...

Influence of aerosol acidity and organic ligands on transition metal solubility and oxidative potential of fine particulate matter in urban environments

Athanasios Nenes, Gerhard Lammel

The adverse health effects of air pollution around the world have been associated with the inhalation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Such outcomes are thought to be related to the induction of oxidative stress due to the excess formation of reactive o ...

Plane Waves Versus Correlation-Consistent Basis Sets: A Comparison of MP2 Non-Covalent Interaction Energies in the Complete Basis Set Limit

Ursula Röthlisberger, Justin Villard, Martin Peter Bircher

Second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) is the most expedient wave function-based method for considering electron correlation in quantum chemical calculations and, as such, provides a cost-effective framework to assess the effects of basis se ...

Recent Advances in Group 14 and 15 Lewis Acids for Frustrated Lewis Pair Chemistry

Shubhajit Das

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLP) which rely on the cooperative action of Lewis acids and Lewis bases, played a prominent role in the advancement of main-group catalysis. While the early days of FLP chemistry witnessed the dominance of boranes, there is a growi ...

Effect of an Al2O3-based binder on the structure of extruded Fe-ZSM-5

Davide Ferri, Pierdomenico Biasi, Filippo Buttignol

The effect of an alumina-based binder on the structure of a commercial Fe-ZSM-5 catalyst has been investigated. Several ex-situ characterization techniques were used to show that the binder in the catalyst formulation allows obtaining a material that posse ...

How Robust Is the Reversible Steric Shielding Strategy for Photoswitchable Organocatalysts?

Simone Gallarati, Raimon Fabregat I De Aguilar-Amat, Veronika Juraskova, Théo Pierre Jaffrelot Inizan

A highly appealing strategy to modulate a catalyst's activity and/or selectivity in a dynamic and noninvasive way is to incorporate a photoresponsive unit into a catalytically competent molecule. However, the description of the photoinduced conformational ...

Water Orientation at the Anatase TiO2 Nanoparticle Interface: A Probe of Surface pK(a )Values

Arianna Marchioro, Marie Bischoff

The acid-base properties of surfaces significantly influence catalytic and (photo)electrochemical processes. Estimation of acid dissociation constants (pK(a )values) for colloids is commonly performed through electroanalytical techniques or spectroscopic m ...
