Photochemical and photocatalytic properties of zeolites containing titanium(iv) complexes and metallic palladium

An attempt has been made to create organized, highly efficient photocatalytic systems in the example of composite materials consisting of blocks of a metallocomplex photocatalyst and a dark-stage catalyst, assembled on a zeolite matrix. The spectral and photochemical properties of these systems have been investigated, and also their use in catalysis of hydrogen evolution from alcohol-water media.

Approaches to the structuring and functionalizing of molecular sieves

On the basis of data available in the literature and the experimental results obtained by the authors, general developmental trends in studying the chemistry of microporous and mesoporous molecular sieves are discussed. The most important lines and objects of research were outlined, in particular, template synthesis of extra-large pore zeolites (silicates, germinates, phosphates, etc.) and mesoporous molecular sieves (MMS) of various types and compositions based on Si, Al, Ti, Zr, Ge, Sn, and some transition metal oxides and phosphates, as well as carbon MMS. Some of the current approaches and new ideas and approaches to the structuring and functionalizing of molecular sieves related to the chemistry of the template action; the specifics of isomorphism of the template action in phosphate and germanate zeolite-forming systems, as well as in MMS; the solubilization effect, etc. are considered.
