Two new antimony fluoride sulfates named A6Sb4F12(SO4)3 (A = Rb, Cs) with unique crown-like clusters have been successfully synthesized by introducing Sb3+ with a stereochemically active lone pair in the sulfate system through a facile hydrothermal method. The structure regulation induced by the cation sizes results in the symmetry difference in these two title compounds, i.e., Rb6Sb4F12(SO4)3 crystallizing in the polar noncentrosymmetric (NCS) space group of P3 and Cs6Sb4F12(SO4)3 in the centrosymmetric (CS) space group of P1̅. Detailed characterizations, including XRD, thermal behaviors, optical properties, and the theoretical calculations, for these two compounds have been performed. The discovery of the unique crown-like clusters observed in A6Sb4F12(SO4)3 (A = Rb, Cs) enriches the diversity of structures for antimony sulfates systems. Simultaneously, a summary and comparison for all reported antimony halide sulfates has been made to illustrate the synergistic effect of the stoichiometric ratio and cation sizes on the macroscopic centricity and the framework structure, which will guide the systematical discovery of antimony(III)-based functional materials in future.

SO4 tetrahedral groups have weak polarization anisotropy, which thus results in the small birefringence of sulfates. Here, we report new sulfate CsY(SO4)2·4H2O with unprecedented birefringence among deep-ultraviolet (deep-UV) sulfates. Its single crystal (10 mm × 3.5 mm × 1.5 mm) was simply grown by an aqueous solution evaporation technique, and it features a rare layered structure composed of YO9 polyhedra, SO4 tetrahedra, and H2O molecules. Interestingly, each SO4 group donates two oxygen atoms to edge-share with one adjacent YO9 polyhedron and thus causes severe distortion of these groups. The characteristic edge-sharing mode gives CsY(SO4)2·4H2O a large birefringence of ∼0.045@546 nm, which is the maximum among deep-UV sulfates and phosphates with similar non-π-conjugated anionic groups. The ultraviolet–visible-near-infrared diffuse reflection and transmission spectra, infrared spectrum, thermal stability, and theoretical calculations are also presented. The fascinating results will improve our understanding of sulfates and may provide useful insights into the exploration of deep-UV sulfates with large birefringence.

The hetero-bimetallic polyanionic compound BiCu 2 (TeO 3 )(SO 4 )(OH) 3 was synthesized using hydrothermal techniques. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2 1 / n (No. 14) with lattice parameters a = 9.5513(15), b = 6.3022(10), c = 13.955(2) Å, β = 102.845(3)°, and Z = 4. The structure of title compound is a three-dimensional tunnel framework consisting of edge-sharing two-dimensional [Cu 3 O 10 ] 14– layers linked by BiO 8 bicapped trigonal prisms, TeO 3 2– trigonal pyramids and SO 4 2– tetrahedra. Along [010], each Cu(1)O 6 octahedron shares two edges with adjacent Cu(1)O 6 units to form infinite one-dimensional zigzag chains, which are connected by double inverted Cu(2)O 6 octahedral units via edge sharing (O9 ··· O8). The suitability of crystal for optical applications was investigated by UV/Vis/NIR spectroscopy. Raman and FTIR spectra were used to confirm the presence of various functional groups such as TeO 3 2– , SO 4 2– , OH – in the crystals.

The esterification of malic acid using traditional homogenous catalysts suffers from the difficulty in reuse of the catalyst and undesirable side reactions. In this work, Zr(SO4)2/SiO2and Zr(SO4)2/activated carbon (AC) as solid acid catalysts were prepared for malic acid esterification with methanol. The conversion of malic acid over these two catalysts is comparable to that over H2SO4and unsupported Zr(SO4)2∙4H2O catalysts; however; a 99% selectivity of dimethyl malate can be realized on these two supported catalysts, which is much higher than that of conventional H2SO4(75%) and unsupported Zr(SO4)2∙4H2O (80%) catalysts, highlighting the critical role of AC and SiO2supports in tuning the selectivity. We suggest that the surface hydroxyls of AC or lattice O2−ions from SiO2donate electrons to Zr4+in Zr(SO4)2/AC and Zr(SO4)2/SiO2catalysts, which results in the increase in electron density on Zr4+. The enhanced electron density on Zr4+reduces the degree of H delocalization from crystal water and then decreases the Brønsted acid strength. Consequently, the reduced Brønsted acid strength of Zr(SO4)2/AC and Zr(SO4)2/SiO2catalysts suppresses the intermolecular dehydration side reaction. In addition, these two supported catalysts can be easily separated from the reaction system by simple filtration with almost no loss of activity.Keywords:malic acid;catalytic esterification;solid acid catalyst;Zr(SO4)2;intermolecular dehydration

The SO 4 tetrahedral group exhibits a low degree of polarization anisotropy, leading to a minimal level of birefringence of sulfates. Our report introduces a novel sulfate compound, RbY(SO 4 ) 2 ·4H 2 O, which exhibits exceptional birefringence in deep ultraviolet sulfates. This crystal possesses dimensions of 6 mm × 4 mm × 1 mm and was synthesized using a straightforward technique involving the evaporation of an aqueous solution. The structure of this substance is characterized by a unique arrangement of SO 4 tetrahedra YO 9 polyhedra, and H 2 O molecules. Each SO 4 moiety contribution two oxygen atoms to share edges with a neighboring YO 9 polyhedron, resulting in significant deformation of these groups. The unique arrangement of edge-sharing arrangement in RbY(SO 4 ) 2 ·4H 2 O results in a birefringence of about 0.045@546 nm. This sets a new record for sulfates in the deep ultraviolet range that have similar non-π-conjugated anionic groups. We elucidate UV–Vis–NIR diffuse-reflection, IR spectra, transmission spectra, and conduct theoretical calculations. These fascinating discoveries will improve our understanding of sulfates and provide valuable insights for studying deep-UV sulfates with strong birefringence.

Two new lead(II) borate-sulfate mixed-anion compounds, namely, Pb 4 (BO 3 ) 2 (SO 4 ) and Pb 2 [(BO 2 )(OH)](SO 4 ), have been prepared by using high-temperature melt method or hydrothermal reaction . These compounds exhibit two different types of 3D structures composed of the same anionic units of BO 3 triangles and SO 4 tetrahedra which are interconnected by lead(II) cations. In Pb 4 (BO 3 ) 2 (SO 4 ), the lead(II) ions are bridged by borate anions into 3D [Pb 4 (BO 3 ) 2 ] 2+ architectures with 1D tunnels of 8-member rings along the a -axis, which are filled by the sulfate anions. In Pb 2 [(BO 2 )(OH)](SO 4 ), the lead(II) ions are interconnected by borate and sulfate anions into 2D Pb-B-O and Pb-S-O layers parallel to the ab plane, respectively, and these layers are further condensed into the 3D lead(II) borate-sulfate framework. TGA and DSC studies indicate that Pb 4 (BO 3 ) 2 (SO 4 ) is congruently melting with a melting point of 689 °C whereas Pb 2 [(BO 2 )(OH)](SO 4 ) decomposes at approximately 335 °C. UV/Vis/NIR optical diffuse reflectance spectrum measurements reveal the optical band gaps of 4.03 and 4.08 eV for Pb 4 (BO 3 ) 2 (SO 4 ) and Pb 2 [(BO 2 )(OH)](SO 4 ), respectively. Furthermore, the electronic structures of Pb 4 (BO 3 ) 2 (SO 4 ) have also been calculated.

The solid acid catalysts SO 4
2− /TiO 2 were prepared by the impregnation technique under two preparation conditions which were different in calcination temperature and concentration of impregnation solution of H 2 SO 4 . The characterization was carried out by using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed desorption of NH 3 (NH 3 -TPD), N 2 -BET, X-ray fluorescence and thermal gravity (TG)–differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The characteristic peaks in the FTIR spectrum were essentially the same within the calcination temperature range of 400–600 °C. The XRD results indicated that the sample could show partial specific peaks of the anatase phase as the calcination temperature was higher than 400 °C. The obvious strong acid and superacid sites of the prepared SO 4
2− /TiO 2 were conformed by the NH 3 -TPD results. The BET surface areas of 102–206 m 2 /g were measured by the N 2 -BET method, and the pore size distributions were essentially mesoporous. The TG–DSC results showed that SO 4
2− /TiO 2 would decompose at about 500 °C in the air. The solid acid SO 4
2− /TiO 2 were used for the epoxidation of castor oil. The lowest iodine value of the product was 52.65/100 g when the reaction temperature was 65 °C, reaction time was 10 h and catalyst loading was 15 wt.%.

The development of cathode materials has always been one of the most crucial areas of research in the field of sodium-ion batteries. Sulfate-based polyanionic materials, known for their high working voltage characteristics, have received widespread attention. In this work, a fluoro-sulfate sodium-ion battery cathode material, Na3Fe2(SO4)3F modified with carbon nanotubes, was developed using a low-temperature solid-state annealing method. This Na3Fe2(SO4)3F cathode exhibits an exceptionally high voltage of 3.77 V, excellent discharge capacity (102 mAh/g at 0.1C), and good rate capability. This material broadens the research directions for cathode materials and holds promise as a foundation for the further development of high-performance sodium-ion batteries.

Partially oxidizing methane into syngas via a two-step chemical looping scheme was a promising option for methane transformation. Ce 2 (SO 4 ) 3 was selected to explore the performance and mechanism of methane chemical looping partial oxidation (CLPOM) to syngas. Thermodynamic and kinetic analysis forecast the Ce 2 (SO 4 ) 3 as a promising candidate for CLPOM. Compared with literature, Ce 2 (SO 4 ) 3 not only had an outstanding syngas selectivity, but also an appropriate CH 4 conversion and molar ratio, and CH 4 conversion could reach 90.5 % of thermodynamic result. As revealed via characterization, Ce 2 (SO 4 ) 3 (1 0 2) surface had the highest peak intensity and the migration of lattice oxygen played an important role in CLPOM. Some of them were tend to agglomeration and these small particles were less than 5 μm. Density functional theory calculations demonstrated that CH 4 series dehydrogenation products tended to adsorb at O site and CH 3 → CH 2 + H was the rate-determining step. The reaction of surface lattice oxygen atoms and migration of the internal lattice oxygen atoms could inhibit carbon deposition, promote CH 4 conversion and syngas generation in experiment. Compared with NiO, Ce 2 (SO 4 ) 3 had a lower energy barrier of lattice oxygen migration, which could increase the reaction rate.

Isooctane attracts great interest in recent years because of its promising potential as friendly-environmental gasoline, which is obtained by dimerization of isobutene with a hydrogenation step. Herein, a solid acid catalyst sulfated zirconia modified by ZnO was prepared. The oligomerization of isobutene had been investigated over ZrO 2 -SO 4 and ZnO( X )/ZrO 2 -SO 4 catalyst in order to find efficient catalysts for the production of isobutene oligomers . The presence of ZnO obviously enhanced the dimerization of isobutene and ZnO( X )/ZrO 2 -SO 4 exhibited the highest di-isobutene yield of 60%. Kinetic studies showed the higher trimerization-to-dimerization activation energy ratios of ZnO( X )/ZrO 2 -SO 4 than those of ZrO 2 -SO 4 from 353 to 393 K. In addition, reaction rate of dimerization was higher than trimerization over ZnO( X )/ZrO 2 -SO 4 . The high L/B ratio manifested the capability to enhance the selectivity of C 8 in isobutene dimerization. Furthermore, ZnO( X )/ZrO 2 -SO 4 exhibited stable conversion for the dimerization of isobutene.

Sulfates have long been ignored as nonlinear optical materials over the past decades. Here we report a new sulfate deep-ultraviolet nonlinear optical material Li8NaRb3(SO4)6·2H2O synthesized by the facile water solution method. It crystallizes in the asymmetric monoclinic space group C2 (No. 5). Its single-crystal structure features a three-dimensional framework made up of SO4 and LiO4 tetrahedra. Powder second-harmonic generation tests demonstrate that Li8NaRb3(SO4)6·2H2O is phase-matchable with a second-harmonic generation response of about 0.5 × KH2PO4. Ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectra illustrate that the ultraviolet cutoff edge of Li8NaRb3(SO4)6·2H2O may be as low as λ < 190 nm. Theoretical calculations reveal that the optical properties of Li8NaRb3(SO4)6·2H2O are mainly attributed to S–O groups. All these results reveal that Li8NaRb3(SO4)6·2H2O may possess potential use in the deep-ultraviolet nonlinear optics field. We believe that the discoveries in our work will attract scientists’ attention to sulfate systems for their potential as deep-ultraviolet nonlinear optical materials.

Abstract Conversion of cellulose to chemicals is an economic and environmental route for biomass utilization. In this work, efficient conversion of cellulose to alkyl levulinates and levulinic acid was realized by oxidation pretreatment combined with alcoholysis over Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 catalyst. Proper pre-oxidation conditions including oxidation temperature and time are important. By pre-oxidation, part of hydroxymethyl groups on cellulose was converted to carboxyl groups which provide the Brønsted acid sites near the glycosidic bonds to improve the depolymerization of cellulose to monosaccharide. Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ·18H 2 O can play both Brønsted and Lewis acid roles in methanol and catalyze the conversion of monosaccharide to alkyl levulinates and levulinic acid. After pre-oxidation at optimized conditions, cellulose can be converted into methyl levulinate and levulinic acid over Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 in methanol efficiently, and total yield of methyl levulinate and levulinic acid can reach 66.8% at 180 °C for 3 h. Furthermore, the simple and cheap Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 catalyst is recyclable which is important for the practical application. Graphic abstract
