First Example of a Nonanuclear Silver Sulfate Hybrid Cluster: Green Approach for Synthesis of Lewis Acid Catalyst

Finding a high nuclearity hybrid framework with novel structure and properties by an environmentally benign approach is a really challenging task. Herein, a green strategy for synthesis of a new inorganic-organic hybrid framework solid has been described. The framework contains silver sulfate clusters with nine different silver ions with shortest silver-silver connectivity. The present compound is the first example of nonanuclear silver sulfate hybrid framework with a new topology. The hybrid solid compound shows a highly active Lewis acidic nature for the various heterogeneous catalytic reactions such as cyanosilylation, ketalization, and esterification with quantitative transformation and recyclability.

Interpenetrated and Catenated Zinc Thiosulfates Frameworks with dia and qtz Nets: Synthesis, Structure, and Properties

Reactions between Zn(NO3)2·6H2O, Na2S2O3, 4,4′-bipyridine (bpy), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene (bpe), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpa), and 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) under solvothermal conditions resulted in four new zinc thiosulfate hybrid compounds. Compound I has four-membered zinc thiosulfate rings connected by the ligand, 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) forming a two-dimensional structure. Compounds II-IV have one-dimensional zinc thiosulfate chains connected by the ligands, bpy (II), bpe (III), and bpa (IV) giving rise to three-dimensional structures. All the four-structures exhibit 3-fold interpenetration. Proton conductivity studies indicate reasonable proton mobility at 34 °C and at 98% relative humidity. The compounds also exhibit Lewis acid character and good photocatalytic activity for the decomposition of cationic dyes.

PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL

The present invention provides a process for the production of monoethylene glycol, said process comprising the steps of: (a) reacting ethylene oxide with a ketone in the presence of a solid acidic catalyst to form a ketal; and (b) hydrolysing the ketal with water to form monoethylene glycol, wherein the ketone contains in the range of from 4 to 20 carbon atoms.
