Cyclic voltammetric experiments of framework Co(II) ions in three different CoAPO structures have provided evidence for a screening effect created by solvent or template molecules which results in a facile oxidation (and a difficult reduction) of the Co(II) ions incorporated into the most open (the less strained) structures. An apparent contradiction of these findings with respect to theoretical expectations is...
Two different aluminophosphate structures were synthesised in aqueous media using as main template methylamine (MA), directly added, or generated in situ from methylformamide (MF). Both involve novel AlPO4-n topologies that undergo structural transformations upon template removal, yielding above 350°C microporous thermostable materials with interesting properties. Tetraalkylammonium (TEA) cations were used opti...
A well-crystallized sample of CoAPO-37 was prepared. The incorporation of cobalt in the FAU structure framework was indirectly shown by FTIR spectroscopy, which shows peaks assigned to Bronstëd acid sites.
SAPO-40 exhibits strong acid sites, which catalyse the reaction of disproportionation of ethylbenzene. The distribution of diethylbenzene isomers suggests a high void volume in the structure of this molecular sieve.
The AFR structure with the silicoaluminophosphate composition (SAPO-40) was known since 1984. However the synthesis of AIPO4-40 and MeAPO4-40 (Me:Co, Zn) was only reported in 1994, hence offering new potential applications of this structure.
Os aluminofosfatos e silicoaluminofosfatos constituem duas das novas famílias de sólidos microporosos com estrutura tipo zeolítico. Estes materiais que apresentam elevada estabilidade térmica e hidrotérmica,podem possuir propriedades ácidas importantes, que associadas à sua estrutura de poros, lhes conferem novas e interessantes potencialidades de utilização no domínio da catálise, adsorção e permuta iónica.
A series of SAPO-40 samples with Si atomic fraction from 0.06 to 0.12 has been synthesised. The study of their catalytic properties has been evaluated by comparison with SAPO-37, USHY and mordenite, using as model reaction the cracking of n-heptane. The catalytic activity of SAPO-40 samples depends on the Si content, and is probably associated with the non-uniform distribution of silicon. SAPO-40 showed a stron...
