- Abstract
Nonwoven chitosan (CS) nanofiber mats were successfully prepared by the electrospinning of the mixture of CS and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in acetic acid aqueous solution. The CS/PEO fiber mats were treated with glutaraldehyde aqueous solution to stabilize fibers in solution. The concentration of glutaraldehyde is important for incorporating swelling properties in the cross-linked CS/PEO fiber mats. The cross-linked CS/PEO fibers (CCS/PEO fibers) were then used as supports for palladium catalysts in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction. The results of the study demonstrated that the catalytic activities of Pd catalyst supported on CCS/PEO fiber (Pd-CCS/PEO fiber) were highly dependent on the concentration of glutaraldehyde in the cross-linking process. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that the Schiff bond formed between CS and glutaraldehyde could reduce the energy needed to form a chelate complex between the CCS/PEO fibers and palladium active species. This in turn could decrease the activation energy of the Mizoroki-Heck reactions which occur in the presence of the Pd-CCS/PEO fiber catalysts. The optimized Pd-CCS/PEO fiber catalyst was very efficient and stable in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of aromatic iodides with olefins.
