Abstract:Scandium borohydride grafted into the micropores of the faujasite zeolite HY 30 catalyzes the C−H borylation of benzene, whereas silica-grafted species are inactive. This catalytic activity may originate from grafting at a Brønsted acid site leading to a more electron-deficient rare earth center. Herein, we apply multinuclear double-resonance nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments to probe the structure and dynamics of zeolite-and silica-bound scandium borohydride complexes. The experiments reveal that s… Show more
