Molecular sieve supported transition metal complexes: preparation, characterization and application in catalysis

Objective



The aim of this project lies in the preparation, characterization and study of the catalytic properties of zeolites and activated carbons with immobilized and anchored first-row late transition metal complexes with polydentate ligands containing several co-ordination spheres, obtained by Schiff condensation of aldehydes and B-diketones with diamines.

Initially, ter and tetradentate ligands with co-ordination spheres N4, N202, N2S2 will be characterized by spectroscopic (UV-Vis-NIR, Raman, FTIR, EPR, NMR) and electrochemical techniques. The homogeneous catalytic properties of the complexes will also be evaluated.

The heterogenization of homogeneous catalysts will be made on two different supporting surfaces: Y-zeolites and activated carbons or carbon molecular sieves. The resulting materials will be characterized by magnetic methods (EPR and NMR), optical (Raman and infrared spectroscopy), microscopic (TEM, STM, AFM), and thermal methods (DSC, TG and TPD/TPR methods).

The catalytic properties of the new materials will be evaluated in oxidation/reduction of organic molecules and in the activation of small molecules (CO, CO2, CH4, N2, NO).
