A new hybrid nanomaterial was developed by immobilization of phosphomolybdate anions on the surface of modified magnetite nanoparticles with quaternary phosphonium cations. Silica coated magnetic nanoparticles supported phosphonium cations, Ph3P+-SCMNPs, were prepared by covalent attachment of chloropropylsilyl groups on the surface of silica coated magnetite nanoparticles...

Hybrid inorganic-organic materials comprising organic functional groups tethered from silica surfaces are versatile, heterogeneous catalysts. Recent advances have led to the preparation of silica materials containing multiple, different functional groups that can show cooperative catalysis; that is, these functional groups can act together to provide catalytic activity and selectivity superior ...

A siliceous porous material containing nickel was synthesized by means of an intercalation treatment method using a layered sodium octosilicate ilerite as a starting base material. The sodium ions between the crystalline silicate sheets in the octosilicate were exchanged for hydrogen ions in dilute hydrochloric acid, and then the basal spaces between the silicate sheets were extended by introdu...

A variety of new techniques are emerging that require the use of a patterned substrate to impose micropartitions on a supported fluid bilayermembrane. The barrier-forming characteristics of aluminum oxide, indium-tin oxide (ITO), chrome, and gold patterns on silica substrates have been examined. All four materials form effective barriers to lateral diffusion within the supported membrane; howev...

Applications of silica-ROMP reagents in a one-pot, sequential protocol have been developed for the synthesis of a variety of diverse benzoxathiazepine 1,1-dioxides. This protocol includes sulfonylation, intramolecular SNAr, alkylation with silica-supported oligomeric benzyl (Si-OBPn) and triazole (Si-OTPn) phosphates, and intermolecular SNAr addition with a number of secondary amines in one-pot...

The work exploring the stoichiometry of Pt deposition via surface-limited redox replacement of the underpotentially deposited UPD Cu monolayer on Au 111 is presented. The Cu UPD monolayer is formed from 10−3 M Cu2+ + 0.1 M HClO4 solution, whereas the Pt deposition via surface-limited redox replacement reaction is carried out in 10−3 M PtCl6 2− + 0.1 M HClO4 solution at open-circuit potential. O...

Silica ferric hydrogensulfate is an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the cyclization of 2- aminochalcones to the corresponding 2,3-dihydroquinolin- 4(1H)-ones. This intramolecular aza Michael reaction was carried out in high yields using chalcones bearing of electron donating and electron withdrawing groups. The catalyst is reusable without significant decreases in its activity after four t...

The perchlorate salt of the dicationic bipy-ruthenium complex cis-[Ru(6,6'-Cl2bipy)2(H2O)2]2+ effectively catalyzes addition of beta-diketones to secondary alcohols and styrenes to yield the alpha-alkylated beta-diketones. In a catalytic addition reaction of acetylacetone to 1-phenylethanol, the kappa2-acetylacetonate complex [Ru(6,6'-Cl2bipy)2(kappa2-acac)]ClO4 was isolated after the catalysis...
