Two-dimensional metal oxide sheets in HTiNbO(5) and HSr(2)Nb(3)O(10), cation-exchangeable layered metal oxides, were examined as solid acid catalysts. Exfoliation of HTiNbO(5) and HSr(2)Nb(3)O(10) in aqueous solutions formed colloidal single-crystal TiNbO(5)(-) and Sr(2)Nb(3)O(10)(-) nanosheets, which precipitated under an acidic condition to form aggregates of HTiNbO(5) nanosheets and HSr(2)Nb(3)O(10) nanosheets. Although esterification of acetic acid, cracking of cumene, and dehydration of 2-propanol were not catalyzed by original HTiNbO(5) because of the narrow interlayer distance, which prevents the insertion of organic molecules, HTiNbO(5) nanosheets functioned as a strong solid acid catalyst for the reactions. Nanosheets of HSr(2)Nb(3)O(10) exhibited no or slight catalytic activity for these reactions. NH(3) temperature-programmed desorption and (1)H magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed that HTiNbO(5) nanosheets have strong Brønsted acid sites, whereas HSr(2)Nb(3)O(10) nanosheets do not.
作为固体酸催化剂,我们研究了阳离子可交换层状金属氧化物HTiNbO₅和HSr₂Nb₃O₁₀中的二维金属氧化物片层。HTiNbO₅和HSr₂Nb₃O₁₀在水溶液中剥离形成了胶体单晶TiNbO₅⁻和Sr₂Nb₃O₁₀⁻纳米片,这些纳米片在酸性条件下沉淀,形成了HTiNbO₅纳米片和HSr₂Nb₃O₁₀纳米片的聚集体。尽管由于层间距离狭窄(阻止有机分子插入),原始的HTiNbO₅对乙酸酯化、异丙苯裂解和2-丙醇脱水没有催化作用,但HTiNbO₅纳米片对这些反应起到了强固体酸催化剂的作用。HSr₂Nb₃O₁₀纳米片对这些反应没有或仅有轻微的催化活性。NH₃程序升温脱附和¹H魔角旋转核磁共振光谱表明,HTiNbO₅纳米片具有强布朗斯特酸位点,而HSr₂Nb₃O₁₀纳米片则没有。
