Creation of and Application of Metal-Organic Nanotube Hybrid Catalysts for Low Environmental Impact Chemical Process

我们证明了由肽脂和过渡金属自组装的金属配位有机纳米管催化苯乙烯等有机化合物被过氧化氢作为氧化剂氧化。纳米管的催化活性不仅与金属离子有关，还与脂质分子的结合以及纳米管的尺寸有关。过渡金属与糖-油酸共轭脂质自组装的有机纳米管反应得到金属纳米颗粒-有机纳米管杂化体。金属纳米颗粒位于有机纳米管的壁内和/或壁上。

We demonstrated that metal coordinated organic nanotubes self-assembled from peptide lipids and transition metals catalyzed oxidation of organic compounds such as styrene by hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. The catalytic activities depend on not only metal ions, but also combination with lipid molecules and dimension of the nanotubes. Reaction of transition metals and an organic nanotube self-assembled from sugar-oleic acid conjugated lipid gave metal nanoparticle-organic nanotube hybrids. The metal nanoparticles located in and/or on the wall of the organic nanotubes.
