Stereoselectivity of supported alkene metathesis catalysts: a goal and a tool to characterize active sites
نویسنده
چکیده
Stereoselectivity in alkene metathesis is a challenge and can be used as a tool to study active sites under working conditions. This review describes the stereochemical relevance and problems in alkene metathesis (kinetic vs. thermodynamic issues), the use of (E/Z) ratio at low conversions as a tool to characterize active sites of heterogeneous catalysts and finally to propose strategies to improve catalysts based on the current state of the art.

Low Temperature Activation of Supported Metathesis Catalysts by Organosilicon Reducing Agents
Alkene metathesis is a widely and increasingly used reaction in academia and industry because of its efficiency in terms of atom economy and its wide applicability. This reaction is notably responsible for the production of several million tons of propene annually. Such industrial processes rely on inexpensive silica-supported tungsten oxide catalysts, which operate at high temperatures (>350 °...

Chelated ruthenium catalysts have achieved highly chemoselective olefin metathesis reactions. Terminal and internal Z olefins were selectively reacted in the presence of internal E olefins. Products were produced in good yield and high stereoselectivity for formation of a new Z olefin. No products of metathesis with the internal E olefin were observed. Chemoselectivity for terminal olefins was ...

Heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta and homogeneous metallocene catalysts exhibit greatly different active sitenature in olefin polymerization. In our previous study, it was reported that MgCl2-supported titanocenecatalysts can generate both Ziegler-Natta-type and metallocene-type active sites according to the type of activators.The dual active site nature of the supported titanocene catalysts was furt...

Metathesis of propene to ethene and 2-butenes was studied over a series of MoOx/SBA-15 catalysts (molybdenum oxide supported on mesoporous silica SBA-15; Mo loading 2.1~13.3 wt%, apparent Mo surface density 0.2~2.5 nm). The catalysts have been prepared by an ion exchange technique. Nitrogen adsorption, HMAS-NMR, Raman, and FTIR spectroscopies were applied to characterize the catalysts. Adsorpti...

EEthylene polymerization catalysts became available in an enormous variety. The challenge in this research is to find catalysts that are able to connect ethylene molecules in such a way that not only linear chains are produced but variations like branched materials that possess very interesting mechanical properties like linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). In this contribution, three diffe...
