Abstract:
In this study, octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2) is successfully delaminated by using trace holmium (Ho) via a facile redox co-precipitation route, which exhibits high performance for the total toluene oxidation at low temperature. High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analyses verify that abundant multi-phase interfaces and lattice dislocations are formed on the obtained delaminated OMS-2 by the Ho (Ho-OMS-2), which can induce more active oxygen species. In particular, the delaminated OMS-2 with a trace Ho amount has a high Oads/Olatt ratio with a balanced ratio of Mn3+ and Mn4+, demonstrating much higher activity (T100% of 228 °C even under 5 vol% H2O vapor over 0.5% Ho-OMS-2) than the parent OMS-2 (T100% of 261 °C) for the total toluene oxidation. Furthermore, the positive effect of the introduction of H2O on catalytic activity, especially the enhancement of the conversion of intermediates into CO2 and H2O, is verified by the in situ diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). Based on these results, the reaction mechanism for toluene oxidation over the OMS-2 based catalyst is proposed. It is expected to provide an effective preparation method to obtain high-performance catalysts for the VOCs oxidation at low temperatures.

One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
02:13Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.

02:17Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
02:24Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
