It comes out in the wash: In esterification of citric acid with n-butanol, heteropolyanion-based ionic liquid (IL) catalysts show high catalytic activity, self-separation, and easy reuse. The good solubility reactants, nonmiscibility ester product, melting point IL enable reaction-induced switching from homogeneous (b picture) to heterogeneous (c) subsequent precipitation catalyst (d). Detailed facts importance specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information". Such documents...

An interesting shape evolution of Cu2O crystals, that is, from cubes, truncated octahedra, and finally to nanospheres was first realized in high yield by reducing the copper−citrate complex solution with glucose. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission (HRTEM) techniques were employed characterize samples. We elucidate important parameters (including poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) concentration, reaction time,...

Mesoporous metal oxides with wide pore size, high surface area, and uniform porous structures have demonstrated excellent advantages in various fields. However, the state-of-art synthesis approaches are dominated by wet chemistry, accompanied use of excessive solvent, requirement time-consuming drying process. Herein, we report a mechanochemical solid-state route to synthesize mesoporous Al2O3 (meso-Al2O3) via aluminum isopropoxide-copolymers assembly. The obtained meso-Al2O3 shows record...
