The solvent polarity influences strongly on the activity and selectivity.The role of solvent nature in the liquid phase rearrangement of 1,2-epoxyoctane over Al-TS-1 and Al-MCM-41 catalysts is reported. The main reaction product is the aldehyde, while other rearrangement products, mainly allylic alcohols and diol are obtained. The solvent polarity influences strongly on the activity and product selectivity. The catalytic activity decreases with the increasing of solvent polarity especially for Al-MCM-41 materials. The use of acetonitrile as solvent yields a low conversion of epoxide as a consequence of its basic character. Formation of bulky by-products was detected when dimethylcarbonate was used as solvent over Al-MCM-41. Toluene displays the best catalytic performance in regards to activity and selectivity towards valuable products, with both Al-TS-1 and Al-MCM-41 catalysts, in comparison to those obtained with more polar solvents. sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=MImg&_imagekey=B6TGM-4D8MM4Y-3-F&_cdi=5258&_user=10&_orig=article&_coverDate=11%2F15%2F2004&_sk=997779998&view=c&wchp=dGLbVlW-zSkWz&md5=3c6aca4f706f8939380d7a191213d0d9&ie=/sdarticle.pdf"> |

Klabunde Abstract ss="mlktScroll"> style="line-height:150%">Transition metal aluminosilicates (M-Al-MCM-41) with high surface area were analyzed for photocatalytic degradation of acetaldehyde in the gas phase. The photoactivity of the catalyst under visible light irradiation is independent of the loading level of Co ions in the Co-Al-MCM-41 framework. The physical state of the transition metal oxide was characterized by XRD, IR, and diffuse reflectance studies. A high surface area with average pore diameter of 2.5 nm was obtained from BET adsorption studies. Maximal photoactivity was achieved even at low loading levels of the transition metal ion. These catalysts also exhibit good activity for degradation of acetaldehyde in the gas phase under UV light illumination. sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=MImg&_imagekey=B6TGY-4C6KT6P-1-10&_cdi=5267&_user=10&_orig=article&_coverDate=07%2F15%2F2004&_sk=998349998&view=c&wchp=dGLbVlW-zSkWz&md5=0a1ff45447fbd8a39e5ea8734ba975a0&ie=/sdarticle.pdf"> |
