Mesoporous Catalyst and/or Carrier TUD-1 for Sustainable Chemistry

Heterogeneous catalysts, namely zeolites (crystalline aluminosilicates with pore size up to 1.2 nm) are applied in the production of mostly small sized, bulk chemicals due to their narrow pore size. To extend the use of heterogeneous catalysts for the production of fine chemicals by employment of mesoporous materials that can accommodate much...

Investigation of the cyanosilylation catalysed by metal-siliceous catalysts

Different amorphous mesoporous TUD-1 catalysts were employed in cyanosilylation of acetophenone with trimethylsilylcyanide in dichloromethane at room temperature. Catalysts were monometallic Al-TUD-1, Zr-TUD-1 and bimetallic Na–Al-TUD-1 and Al–Zr-TUD-1's with constant Si/metal ratio but different Al/Zr ratios. Al-TUD-1 proved to be the most...
