    Multifunctional heterogeneous catalysts: Tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl)porphinato]iron(III) immobilized on amine-functionalized Diatomaceous Earth for catalytic and adsorption applications
    (Elsevier, 2023) Do Prado, Marcus Vinicius; González, Beatriz; Vicente, Miguel Ángel; Trujillano, Raquel; Nassar, Eduardo José; Gil Bravo, Antonio; Santamaría Arana, Leticia; Korili, Sophia A.; Marçal, Liziane; Faria, Emerson H. de; Ciuffi, Katia J.; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    The use of Diatomaceous Earth (DE) as a promising support of a synthetic metalloporphyrin is reported, trying to heterogenize metalloporphyrin catalysts to mimicking enzyme site isolation and improving reaction selectivity. New multifunctional hybrid materials consisting of DE amino–functionalized with aminopropyltriethoxysilane (DE–APTES), followed by grafting with [meso–tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphinato]iron(III) (DE–APTES–FeTFPP), were prepared and fully characterized. FeTFPP was grafted into DE–APTES via the amine groups (band at 1570 cm–1 ). The brown color of the materials indicated that FeTFPP was immobilized in the matrix; a Soret band characteristic of ironporphyrin located in a confined space, was found at 416 nm. Leaching studies confirmed that the ironporphyrin was entrapped and not just adsorbed on the silica surface. DE was composed of typical quartz and cristobalite crystalline phases and amorphous silica. The intensity of its characteristic reflection at 22◦ (2θ) decreased in the presence of FeTFPP, evidencing that the ironporphyrin influenced the organization of the material. Catalytic tests using DE–APTES–FeTFPP in cyclooctene epoxidation to cyclooctene oxide (56 % yield, with complete selectivity for the epoxide) and cyclohexane oxidation (4 % yield of oxidized products, with ketone/alcohol selectivity ~ 3:1), evidenced the versatility of the catalyst and the multifunctionality of the resulting hybrid materials and the ability of DE as a promising natural support for ironporphyrin catalysts. Finally, the capacity of the materials as CO2 adsorbents was evaluated in the temperature range 100–200 ◦C. DE–APTES showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 1.26 mmol/g at 100 ◦C, 18 times higher than the value found under the same conditions for the non–functionalized support.

    M(II)-Al-Fe layered double hydroxides synthesized from aluminum saline slag wastes and catalytic performance on cyclooctene oxidation
    (Elsevier, 2022) Santamaría Arana, Leticia; Oliveira-Garcia, L.; Faria, Emerson H. de; Ciuffi, Katia J.; Vicente, Miguel Ángel; Korili, Sophia A.; Gil Bravo, Antonio; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    Aluminum was extracted from saline slags via an alkaline method and employed in the synthesis of Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH) with various M2+ cations (Co, Mg, Ni and Zn), while Al and Fe were the M3+ cations, using the co-precipitation method and a M2+/M3+ 2:1 ratio. The structural characterization of the samples was performed with powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen physisorption at 77 K, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Their catalytic performance was tested for the oxidation of olefins (cyclooctene) and their biomimetic potential was analyzed. Results show a great selectivity towards epoxides with no other products obtained. Reaction yields followed the descending order Co4AlFe, Zn4AlFe, Ni4AlFe, and Mg4AlFe, the sample with cobalt as M2+ converting up to 85% of cyclooctene.
