UV-Vis DRS and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, combined with excitation selective Raman allow us to understand the main optical vibrational properties of a metal-organic MOF-5 framework. A O(2-)Zn(2+)[rightward arrow] O(-)Zn(+) ligand metal charge transfer transition (LMCT) at 350 nm, testifies that Zn(4)O(13) cluster behaves as ZnO quantum dot (QD). The organic part acts photon antenna able efficiently energy inorganic ZnO-like QD part, where an intense emission 525 nm occurs.
The role of exposed metal sites in increasing the H2 storage performances metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been investigated by means IR spectrometry. Three MOFs have considered: MOF-5, with unexposed sites, and HKUST-1 CPO-27-Ni, Cu(2+) Ni(2+), respectively. onset temperature spectroscopic features associated adsorbed correlates adsorption enthalpy obtained VTIR method shift experienced H-H stretching frequency. This relationship can be ascribed to different nature accessibility sites....

This work is devoted to the study of active species present on TS-1-H2O2/H2O catalytic system and elucidation mechanisms formation interconversion these species. In particular new experimental data computational evidence are reported concerning (i) acidic character hydroperoxo species, (ii) role water in hydroperoxo−peroxo interconversion, (iii) as co-reactant favoring H2O2 adsorption at Ti sites. It demonstrated that gentle drying leads transformation yellow peroxo groups into noncolored...
Due to its fully reversible nature, H(2) storage by molecular adsorption could represent an advantage with respect dissociative processes, where kinetic effects during the charging and discharging processes are present. A drawback of this strategy is represented extremely weak interactions that require low temperature high pressure. High surface area materials hosting polarizing sites can a viable way toward more favorable working conditions. Of these, in contribution, we have studied...
The characteristic yellow color of the TS-1/H2O2/H2O system is attributed to a “side-on” Ti–peroxo species, presumed be active intermediate in partial oxidation reactions.

The oligomerization reaction of ethene and propene on H-ZSM-5 has been studied by fast FTIR spectroscopy. Oligomerization proceeds through: (i) formation short-lived hydrogen-bonded precursors interaction the alkene with internal acidic Brønsted sites, (ii) a protonation step (iii) chain-growth step. relative strength hydrogen bonds in ethene–OH propene–OH π-complexes (precursors) is estimated basis downward shift both ν(OH) ν(CC) frequencies (–389 –11 cm–1 for –539 –19 cm –1 propene).

Hydrogen storage is among the most demanding challenges in hydrogen-based energy cycle. One proposed strategy for hydrogen based on physisorption high surface area solids such as metal−organic frameworks (MOFs). Within this class of materials, MOF-5 has been first structure studied storage. The IR spectroscopy adsorbed H2 performed at 15 K and ab initio calculations show that adsorptive properties material are mainly due to dispersive interactions with internal wall weak electrostatic forces...
Maya Blue pigment, used in pre-Colombian America by the ancient Mayas, is a complex between clay palygorskite and indigo dye. The pigment can be manufactured mixing heating to T > 120 degrees C. most quoted hypothesis states that dye molecules enter microchannels which permeate structure, thus creating stable complex. shows remarkable chemical stability, presumably caused interactions formed surfaces.
