Abstract

Designing a new porous nanomaterial for eco-friendly catalytic reactions is very challenging. Here, a new crystalline microporous oxyfluorinated titanium phosphate material (TIPO-1) has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions in the absence of any structure directing agent. The triclinic crystalline phase with the unit cell parameters a=7.962Å, b=10.006Å, c=13.979Å, ?=96.921°, ?=95.851° and ?=93.760° has been indexed for TIPO-1 and it has been characterized through powder X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, XPS, FT-IR, 31P MAS NMR spectroscopy, UHR-TEM, FE-SEM and TGA/DTA analysis. The material exhibited excellent catalytic activity in liquid phase partial oxidation of cyclohexanone to adipic acid (up to 92% conversion) in the presence of aqueous H2O2 as oxidant together with value added side products like 1,6-hexandial and ?-caprolactone for reactions in different solvents. The material showed excellent recycling efficiency for six consecutive reaction cycles without any significant loss in catalytic activity.

Phosphorus

Phosphorus Bohr ModelSee more Phosphorus products. Phosphorus (atomic symbol: P, atomic number: 15) is a Block P, Group 15, Period 3 element. The number of electrons in each of Phosphorus's shells is 2, 8, 5 and its electronic configuration is [Ne] 3s2 3p3. The phosphorus atom has a radius of 110.5.pm and its Van der Waals radius is 180.pm. Phosphorus is a highly-reactive non-metallic element (sometimes considered a metalloid) with two primary allotropes, white phosphorus and red phosphorus its black flaky appearance is similar to graphitic carbon. Compound forms of phosphorus include phosphates and phosphides. Phosphorous was first recognized as an element by Hennig Brand in 1669 its name (phosphorus mirabilis, or "bearer of light") was inspired from the brilliant glow emitted by its distillation.

Titanium

See more Titanium products. Titanium (atomic symbol: Ti, atomic number: 22) is a Block D, Group 4, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 47.867. The number of electrons in each of Titanium's shells is [2, 8, 10, 2] and its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d2 4s2. Titanium Bohr ModelThe titanium atom has a radius of 147 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 187 pm. Titanium was discovered by William Gregor in 1791 and first isolated by Jöns Jakob Berzelius in 1825. In its elemental form, titanium has a silvery grey-white metallic appearance. Titanium's properties are chemically and physically similar to zirconium, both of which have the same number of valence electrons and are in the same group in the periodic table. Elemental TitaniumTitanium has five naturally occurring isotopes: 46Ti through 50Ti, with 48Ti being the most abundant (73.8%). Titanium is found in igneous rocks and the sediments derived from them. It is named after the word Titanos, which is Greek for Titans.
