Sulfonic-based precursors (SAPs) for silica mesostructures: Advances in synthesis and applications

Sulfonic acid-based precursors (SAP) play an important role in tailoring mesoporous silica’s and convert them to a solid acid catalyst with a Bronsted-type nature. These kinds of solid acids contribute to sustainable and green chemistry by their heterogeneous, recyclable, and high efficiency features. Therefore, knowing the properties and reactivity of SAPs can guide us to manufacture a sulfona...

Substrate and product role in the Shvo's catalyzed selective hydrogenation of the platform bio-based chemical 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

The bio-based substrate and target product 2,5-bishydroxymethylfuran (BHMF) demonstrated to influence the reaction kinetics in the homogeneous reduction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) catalyzed by the Ru-based Shvo's catalyst. A combined experimental and computational study supports an important role of the -CH2OH moiety which may be involved in the catalytic cycle toward the formation of dif...

Microporous sulfur-doped carbon from thienyl-based polymer network precursors.

Porous sulfur-doped carbon was synthesised by using a thienyl-based polymer network as a precursor. The sulfur amount varies from 5-23 m% while the materials show microporosity with BET surface areas of up to 711 m(2) g(-1).
