Chiral zeolitic material for synthesis of drugs and chiral chemicals

CSIC has developed a new chiral zeolitic material for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral chemical products. The material has a chiral structure (ITV) with a very high porosity (with extra-large pore openings, 4.3 x 19.3 Å) and active centers, which allows the catalytic enantioselective processing of large size molecules, reaching enantiomeric excesses in model reactions much [read more]

Date: may-01. 2022.
Doi: 10.1016/j.cattod.2021.09.028.

Abstract:
The MOFs selected in this work are NH2-MIL-53(Al), MIL-100(Fe) and UiO-66 type (Zr-BDC and NH2-Zr-BDC). We have tried to assist the sustainable synthesis of MOFs, at room temperature and in water as a solvent, with the presence of non-ionic surfactants: [read more]

Ti-PMO materials as selective catalysts for the epoxidation of cyclohexene and vernonia oil

Authors: Awoke, Y; Chebude, Y; Diaz, I

Doi: 10.1016/j.cattod.2021.11.004.

Abstract:
Porous Fe carboxylates are amongst the most promising MOF-based materials due to their low price, low toxicity, metal environments (including open metal sites) and remarkable (meso)porosity variety. Fe-MOFs based on the cluster [Fe3O(X)(solvent)(2)](6+), that is, MIL-101(Fe), MIL-100(Fe) and semiamorphous Fe-BTC, are of [read more]
