MIL-100(Cr)
was synthesized and evacuated under different temperatures
to generate a series of heterogeneous catalysts for ethylene oligomerization.
These catalysts showed moderate catalytic activities for ethylene
oligomerization but high selectivities to low carbon olefins C6, C8,
and C10. Moreover, the oligomer distribution was different depending
on the evacuation temperature. The XPS results showed the reduction
of some CrIII active sites in the MIL-100(Cr) structure
to CrII active sites, which made the catalysts show polymerization
activities. The MIL-100(Cr)-250 catalyst evacuated at 250 °C
exhibited the highest oligomerization and polymerization activities
up to 9.27 × 105 g/(molCr·h) and 0.99 ×
105 g/(molCr·h) respectively. The oligomerization
selectivity to low carbon olefins C6, C8, and C10 was about 99%. The
byproduct polymer from MIL-100(Cr)-250 belonged to linear polyethylene
with ultrahigh molecular weight and broad molecular weight distributions.
This work demonstrated that MOFs containing coordinatively unsaturated
metal sites might be a promising selective catalyst for ethylene slurry
oligomerization.
A series of novel C–N dual-doped Cr2O3 photocatalysts were synthesized from MIL-101(Cr), using a two-step method, including initial carbonization in nitrogen atmosphere without adding any carbon source and subsequent calcination in air.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
