Crystallisation of H3BTC, H3TPO or H2SDA with MII (M = Co, Mn or Zn) and 2,2′-bipyridyl: design and control of co-ordination architecture, and magnet…
1999
The hydrothermal reaction of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (H3BTC) with MII (M = Mn, Co or Zn), tris(4-carboxyphenyl)phosphine oxide (H3TPO) or cis-stilbene-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid (H2SDA) with CoII and 2,2′-bipyridyl (BIPY) gave 1-D co-ordination networks formulated as: [M(HBTC)(BIPY)(H2O)] (M = Mn 1, Co 2, or Zn 3; [Co3(BTC)2(BIPY)2(H2O)6]·4H2O 4, [Co3(TPO)2(BIPY)2(H2O)6]·xH2O 5 and [Co(SDA)(BIPY)(H2O)] 6. Structures 1 and 2 consist of double stranded chains of alternating HBTC dianions and dimeric units MII–MII linked by two µ-(1,1) bridging carboxylates. Magnetic properties of 1 and 2 indicate the presence of ferromagnetic exchange interactions within the dimers. Structures 4 and 5 co…
Selective propane oxidation over MoVSbO catalysts. On the preparation, characterization and catalytic behavior of M1 phase
2009
Nb-free (SbO)(2)M(20)O(56) catalysts (M = Mo, V) presenting pure M1 phase have been prepared by a post-synthesis treatment with hydrogen peroxide of a heat-treated MoVSbO mixed metal oxide catalyst previously prepared by hydrothermal method. The characterization of catalysts and their results for propane oxidation suggest that the optimization in the preparation of the M1 phase depends strongly on the washing procedure. The optimal removing of Sb species formed during post-synthesis treatment can explain the improvement in the catalytic activity; while the better selectivity to acrylic acid of the catalysts obtained by post-synthesis treatment can be explained by the elimination of M2 phase…
Hydrothermal Synthesis of ZnO Crystals from Zn(OH)2 Metastable Phases at Room to Supercritical Conditions
2014
The originality of this work is to highlight the effect of temperature and pressure on the size and morphology of hydrothermal ZnO particles from ambient to supercritical conditions (T > 374 °C and P > 221 bar) using a unique continuous one-step process. Experiments were carried out from zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3)2) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) solutions in the ranges of 1–300 bar and 30–400 °C. The as-prepared particles of ZnO (flower, ellipsoid, and sphere) and e-Zn(OH)2 (polyhedral) sized from nano to micrometers were characterized by X-ray diffraction and electronic microscopy. The wulfingite phase (e-Zn(OH)2) was detected inside some powders especially at room temperature for higher pressu…
Synthesis of Nanoferroics
2013
The Chapter covers the technological aspects of many chemical and physico-chemical nanofabrication methods relevant to making nanoferroic materials and composites. First, the classification of relevant synthesis methods of nanoferroics has been presented. Synthesis of particular nanoferroics with different chemical bonding like metallic, oxide and non-oxide compounds is considered in details. Among the methods, the mechanochemical, sonochemical, hydrothermal, co-precipitation, emulsion, thermal decomposition of unstable precursors have been analyzed. The competition between new phase nucleation and nuclei growth has been revealed to be controlled using feedback between reaction rate and tem…
Mo-W-containing tetragonal tungsten bronzes through isomorphic substitution of molybdenum by tungsten
2010
Mixed metal oxides based in Mo(W)–Nb–V–Te with tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) structure have been synthesized by a hydrothermal method from aqueous solutions of the corresponding Keggin-type heteropolyacids and further heat-treatment in N2 at 700 ◦ C. The materials have been characterized by several physico-chemical techniques, i.e. XRD, Raman, FTIR, SEM-EDS, and TEM. This procedure allows controlling the chemical species to be distributed in the different interstices of the TTB skeleton, which is a key factor to regulate the catalytic properties of the final solid. In this sense, the isomorphic replacement of Mo by W results in lattice parameter and crystal morphology variation, although…
High-nuclearity Ni-substituted polyoxometalates: a series of poly(polyoxotungstate)s containing 20–22 nickel centers.
2011
Three high-nuclearity Ni-substituted polyoxotungstates (POTs)--[Ni(enMe)2(H2O)2]2[Ni(H2O)6]2[Ni(enMe)2][Ni(H2O)2]1.5[HNi20X4W34(OH)4O136(H2O)6(enMe)8]·11 H2O (3), [Ni(en)2(H2O)]2[H8Ni21X4W34(OH)4O136(en)10(H2O)5]·22 H2O (4), and [Ni(enMe)2]2[H6Ni22X4W34(OH)4O136(H2O)6(enMe)10]·18 H2O (5), in which en = ethylenediamine, enMe = 1,2-diaminopropane, X = 0.5 P+0.5 Ge--were made under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structures of 3–5 can be viewed as novel derivatives of [H6Ni20P4W34(OH)4O136(enMe)8(H2O)6]·12 H 2O (1) and [Ni(en)2(H2O)]2[H8Ni20P4W34(OH)…
Hydrothermal Synthesis of Ionic Liquid [Bmim]OH-Modified TiO2 Nanoparticles with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity under Visible Light
2010
TiO(2) nanocomposites modified with the ionic liquid [Bmim]OH are synthesized by a hydrothermal procedure. X-ray diffraction, Zeta-potential measurement, TEM, thermogravimetric analysis, photoluminescence, UV/Vis, FTIR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are used to characterize the TiO(2) nanocomposites. The TiO(2) nanocomposites consist of pure anatase particles of about 10 nm. The modification of [Bmim]OH on the surface of the TiO(2) particles extends the TiO(2) absorption edge to the visible-light region. The electrochemical redox potentials indicated that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of [Bmim]OH match well with the valen…
The selective oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over hydrothermally synthesised MoVTeNb catalysts
2002
Mo–V–Te–Nb metal oxide catalysts prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and heat-treated in N2 at high temperatures (600–700 °C) show high activity and selectivity for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethene. Yields of ethene of 75% have been obtained at 400 °C on the best catalysts. Dejoz Garcia, Ana Maria, Ana.M.Dejoz@uv.es
Syntheses, structures and physical characterization of two new three-dimensional mixed-valence hexadecavanadate derivatives
2007
Abstract Two new hexadecavanadate derivatives, (bpy)[Zn(4,4′-bpy)2]2[H4ClV16O38]·6H2O 1 and (bpy)[Co(4,4′-bpy)2]2[H4ClV16O38]·6H2O 2 (bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine), were synthesized under the hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized by IR, XPS and EPR spectroscopy, redox titration and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The two compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the tetragonal non-centrosymmetric space group P-4n2 (No. 118) with a = 17.124(2), b = 17.124(2), c = 14.724(3) A, V = 4317.5(12) A3 and Z = 1 for the compound 1, and a = 17.038(2), b = 17.038(2), c = 14.754(3) A, V = 4282.9(12) A3 and Z = 1 for the compound 2. Compounds 1 and 2 were constructed from 4-connected {H4…
