Structural insight on organosilica electrodes for waste-free alcohol oxidations

2007

Organic modification of sol-gel catalytic glassy electrodes made of a thin layer of organosilica doped with nitroxyl radical TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy) crucially enhances stability in the waste-free oxidation of alcohols to carbonyls in water. Structural comparison between analogous films made of organosilica and unmodified SiO2 shows that the origin of the pronounced stable activity of the ORMOSIL film lies in high hydrophobic and also in the pronounced low degree of hydrophilicity.

Enhanced Mechanical Properties in Organofluorosilica Thin Films

2008

Fluorinated hybrid organic-inorganic silicates (ORMOSIL) thin films display exceptional mechanical properties in terms of both hardness and elastic modulus that can be finely tuned by varying the angular velocity of the spin coating process. Hence, as traditional alkyl-modified silica xerogels generally show poor mechanical behavior, these materials offer a solution to a major limitation to applicability of ORMOSIL-based films.

A new class of heterogeneous Pd catalysts for synthetic organic chemistry

2011

A new series of leach-proof nanostructured Pd(0) catalysts able to catalyze a number of fundamental organic transformations including C–C bond formation has been developed. Reactions in general proceed with high yield and often at completion, while the catalysts can be reused in further reaction runs. This establishes a new class of relevant solid catalysts for synthetic organic chemistry trademarked SiliaCat Pd0 Hydrogel.

Green and Direct Synthesis of Benzaldehyde and Benzyl Benzoate in One Pot

2018

High yields of valued benzaldehyde and benzyl benzoate are obtained in one pot starting from benzyl alcohol using oxygen as only oxidant under mild conditions (2 bar O2, 100 °C) along with an ultralow amount (0.02 mol %) of Au nanoparticles heterogenized over a spherical ORMOSIL mesoporous support. The process is remarkably selective and the catalyst is stable.

ORMOSIL thin films: Tuning mechanical properties via a nanochemistry approach

2006

The mechanical properties (hardness and elastic modulus) of organically modified silicate thin films can be finely tuned by varying the degree of alkylation and thus the fraction of six- and four-membered siloxane rings in the organosilica matrix. This opens the way to large tunability of parameters that are of crucial practical importance for films that are finding increasing application in numerous fields ranging from microelectronics to chemical sensing.

Oxidation of aminodiols mediated by homogeneous and heterogeneous TEMPO

2004

The conversion of amino diols to aminohy- droxy acids by oxidation of the primary hydroxy group mediated by homogeneous and heterogeneous TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl radi- cal) is reported. The synthesis uses NaOCl as primary oxidant and TEMPO, either dissolved in the homoge- neous phase or entrapped in a sol-gel matrix, as cata- lytic mediator. Homogeneous TEMPO is suitable for the oxidation of aliphatic methylamino diols, while the hybrid organic-inorganic silica sol-gel catalysts are more selective mediators for the oxidation of ben- zylic amino diols like the potent antibiotic chloram- phenicol which, under homogeneous conditions, are unselectively oxidized to benzoic ac…
