ETUDE DE LA DIMERISATION DU PROPYLENE CATALYSEE EN PHASE HOMOGENE PAR DES ESPECES DU TYPE "HCoLx"

The dimerisation of propylene in methylpentenes (60percent) at 25 deg C is catalysed by two active cobalt species.The first, HCoL3, issued from the system "Co(Acac)3/HAlEt2/L" in the presence of 1,5-cyclooctadiene, is more active (*30) and selective in 2-methyl-1-pentene (85percent of dimers) than the second, formed from HCo(COD)2.Under low pressures of propylene (3 bar), the fraction of higher oligomers (mainly trimers) increases only up to 40percent.

Nickel Hydride Complexes Supported by a Pyrrole-Derived Phosphine Ligand

The synthesis of two nickel hydride complexes bearing the pyrrole-derived phosphine ligand CyPNH (2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)methyl-1H-pyrrole) was developed, namely, (κP-CyPNH)(κP,κN-CyPN)NiH and the acid-stable trans-(κP-CyPNH)2Ni(OAc)H·HOAc. (κP-CyPNH)(κP,κN-CyPN)NiH stoichiometrically reduces benzaldehyde and acetophenone in a metal-ligand cooperative manner and catalytically dimerizes ethylene and cycloisomerizes 1,5-cyclooctadiene and 1,5-hexadiene. trans-(κP-CyPNH)2Ni(OAc)H·HOAc, available from the protonation of (κP-CyPNH)(κP,κN-CyPN)NiH with acetic acid, catalyzes the cycloisomerization of 1,5-cyclooctadiene more effectively and produces the less thermodynamically favored cycloisomers of 1,5-cyclooctadiene.

Selecting double bond positions with a single cation-responsive iridium olefin isomerization catalyst

The catalytic transposition of double bonds holds promise as an ideal route to alkenes of value as fragrances, commodity chemicals, and pharmaceuticals; yet, selective access to specific isomers is a challenge, normally requiring independent development of different catalysts for different products. In this work, a single cation-responsive iridium catalyst selectively produces either of two different internal alkene isomers. In the absence of salts, a single positional isomerization of 1-butene derivatives furnishes 2-alkenes with exceptional regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. The same catalyst, in the presence of Na+, mediates two positional isomerizations to produce 3-alkenes. The synthesis of new iridium pincer-crown ether catalysts based on an aza-18-crown-6 ether proved instrumental in achieving cation-controlled selectivity. Experimental and computational studies guided the development of a mechanistic model that explains the observed selectivity for various functionalized 1-butenes, providing insight into strategies for catalyst development based on noncovalent modifications.

METAL ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS, THEIR SYNTHESIS AND USE

A novel metal organic framework, EMM-33, is described having the structure of UiO-67 and comprising bisphosphonate linking ligands. EMM-33 has acid activity and is useful as a catalyst in olefin isomerization. Also disclosed is a process of making metal organic frameworks, such as EMM-33, by heterogeneous ligand exchange, in which linking ligands having a first bonding functionality in a host metal organic framework are exchanged with linking ligands having a second different bonding functionality in the framework.

Olefin oligomerization via new and efficient Br?nsted acidic ionic liquid catalyst systems

Olefin oligomerization reaction catalyzed by new catalyst systems (a Br?nsted-acidic ionic liquid as the main catalyst and tricaprylylmethylammonium chloride as the co-catalyst) has been investigated. The synthesized Br?nsted acidic ionic liquids were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and 13C NMR to analyze their structures and acidities. The influence of different ionic liquids, ionic liquid loading, different co-catalysts, catalyst ratios (mole ratio of ionic liquid to co-catalyst), reaction time, pressure, temperature, solvent, source of reactants, and the recycling of catalyst systems was studied. Among the synthesized ionic liquids, 1-(4-sulfonic acid)butyl-3-hexylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([HIMBs]HSO4) exhibited the best catalytic activity under the tested reaction conditions. The conversion of isobutene and selectivity of trimers were 83.21% and 35.80%, respectively, at the optimum reaction conditions. Furthermore, the catalyst system can be easily separated and reused; a feasible reaction mechanism is proposed on the basis of the distribution of experimental products.

Low Temperature Oligomerization of Ethylene over Ni/Al-KIT-6 Catalysts

Abstract: In this paper, we have studied the oligomerization of ethylene with a liquid heptane solvent over bifunctional Ni catalysts in a continuous flow reactor. We have prepared an Al-containing KIT-6 silica that was used as a support after calcination in the temperature range of 300–900 °C. The Ni/Al-KIT-6 catalysts had uniform mesopores with diameters in the range of 5.4–6.3 nm, excepting Ni/Al-KIT-6 (900). The calcination temperature of Al-KIT-6 support changed the surface acidity as well as the interaction of Ni2+ and acid sites for the Ni catalysts, as determined by temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia, temperature-programmed reduction, infrared spectroscopy after the adsorption of pyridine, solid-state 27Al magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and X-ray adsorption spectroscopy. Among the tested catalysts, the Ni/Al-KIT-6 (300) showed the highest ethylene conversion because of the increased intimate contact between Ni2+ and acid sites. The strong interaction of Ni2+ species and the support is not effective in increasing active sites for ethylene conversion. The Ni/Al-KIT-6 catalysts produced internal linear C4 and C6 olefins with high selectivity. The Ni/Al-KIT-6 (300) had 2.2–6.1 times lower selectivities toward 2-ethyl-1-butene than other catalysts at similar ethylene conversions. The reaction product mixture showed that the Ni/Al-KIT-6 catalysts shifted the product distribution towards acid-catalyzed oligomerization/cracking/realkylation products (i.e. C3, C7, C7, and C8+ olefins) as the concentration of Br?nsted acid sites increased. Among the tested catalysts, the Ni/Al-KIT-6 (300) showed the highest yield of C4 and C6 olefins (78.3%). Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Dimerization method for high activity and selectivity propylene

The invention provides a dimerization method for high activity and selectivity propylene. The method includes the following steps that methylaluminoxane (MAO) or modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) is used as a catalyst promoter, and the propylene is subjected to a dimerization reaction under the catalytic action of an ethylidene bridged substituted diindene titanium group metal complex catalyst; and the ethylidene bridged substituted diindene titanium group metal complex catalyst is an internal compensation (meso-) ethylidene bridged substituted diindene titanium group metal complex catalyst or a racemization (rac-) ethylidene bridged substituted diindene titanium group metal complex catalyst. Compared with the prior art, the dimerization method provided by the invention is high in catalytic activity and high in dimerization selectivity, the rate can reach 99%, numerous follow-up operation steps in separation of products with the high degree of polymerization are omitted, the industrialization cost is reduced, and the industrial production needs can be met.

Selective Dimerization of Propylene with Ni-MFU-4l

We report the selective dimerization of propylene to branched hexenes using Ni-MFU-4l, a solid catalyst prepared by cation exchange. Analysis of the resulting product distribution demonstrates that the selectivity arises from 2,1-insertion and slow product reinsertion, mechanistic features reproduced by a molecular nickel tris-pyrazolylborate catalyst. Characterization of Ni-MFU-4l by X-ray absorption spectroscopy provides evidence for discrete, tris-pyrazolylborate-like coordination of nickel, underscoring the small-molecule analogy that can be made at metal-organic framework nodes.

One-step hydroprocessing of fatty acids into renewable aromatic hydrocarbons over Ni/HZSM-5: Insights into the major reaction pathways

For high caloricity and stability in bio-aviation fuels, a certain content of aromatic hydrocarbons (AHCs, 8-25 wt%) is crucial. Fatty acids, obtained from waste or inedible oils, are a renewable and economic feedstock for AHC production. Considerable amounts of AHCs, up to 64.61 wt%, were produced through the one-step hydroprocessing of fatty acids over Ni/HZSM-5 catalysts. Hydrogenation, hydrocracking, and aromatization constituted the principal AHC formation processes. At a lower temperature, fatty acids were first hydrosaturated and then hydrodeoxygenated at metal sites to form long-chain hydrocarbons. Alternatively, the unsaturated fatty acids could be directly deoxygenated at acid sites without first being saturated. The long-chain hydrocarbons were cracked into gases such as ethane, propane, and C6-C8 olefins over the catalysts' Br?nsted acid sites; these underwent Diels-Alder reactions on the catalysts' Lewis acid sites to form AHCs. C6-C8 olefins were determined as critical intermediates for AHC formation. As the Ni content in the catalyst increased, the Br?nsted-acid site density was reduced due to coverage by the metal nanoparticles. Good performance was achieved with a loading of 10 wt% Ni, where the Ni nanoparticles exhibited a polyhedral morphology which exposed more active sites for aromatization.
