Abstract
Although titanosilicalite-1 (TS-1) is among the most successful oxidation catalysts used in industry, its active site structure is still debated. Recent efforts have mostly focused on understanding the role of defect sites and extraframework Ti. Here, we report the 47/49Ti signature of TS-1 and molecular analogues [Ti(OTBOS)4] and [Ti(OTBOS)3(OiPr)] using novel MAS CryoProbe to enhance the sensitivity. While the dehydrated TS-1 displays chemical shifts similar to those of molecular homologues, confirming the tetrahedral environment of Ti consistent with X-ray absorption spectroscopy, it is associated with a distribution of larger quadrupolar coupling constants, indicating an asymmetric environment. Detailed computational studies on cluster models highlights the high sensitivity of the NMR signatures (chemical shift and quadrupolar coupling constant) to small local structural changes. These calculations show that, while it will be difficult to distinguish mono- vs dinuclear sites, the sensitivity of the 47/49Ti NMR signature should enable distinguishing the Ti location among specific T site positions.

Abstract
This study developed a safe and sustainable route for the epoxidation of cyclohexene using water as the source of oxygen at room temperature and ambient pressure. Here, we optimized the cyclohexene concentration, volume of solvent/water (CH3CN, H2O), time, and potential on the photoelectrochemical (PEC) cyclohexene oxidation reaction of the α-Fe2O3 photoanode. The α-Fe2O3 photoanode epoxidized cyclohexene to cyclohexene oxide with a 72.4 ± 3.6% yield and a 35.2 ± 1.6% Faradaic efficiency of 0.37 V vs Fc/Fc+ (0.8 VAg/AgCl) under 100 mW cm-2. Furthermore, the irradiation of light (PEC) decreased the applied voltage of the electrochemical cell oxidation process by 0.47 V. This work supplies an energy-saving and environment-benign approach for producing value-added chemicals coupled with solar fuel generation. Epoxidation with green solvents via PEC methods has a high potential for different oxidation reactions of value-added and fine chemicals.

Abstract
Developing efficient heterogeneous catalysts for cyclic olefins epoxidation is highly attractive for meeting the growing need for various cyclic epoxides. Herein, hierarchical TS-1 zeolite with relatively abundant mesopores and less amount of surface hydroxyl groups was obtained by hydrothermal modification of an as-synthesized TS-1 zeolite with a mixed solution of ammonia, tetrapropylammonium bromide (TPABr) and KCl. The post-modified TS-1 zeolite exhibited much higher catalytic activity (52% conversion) and epoxide selectivity (98%) for the epoxidation of cyclopentene than the conventional TS-1 zeolites. The excellent catalytic activity of the hierarchical TS-1 could be mainly assigned to the enhancement of the mass transport ability and the accessibility of the active Ti species, while the improvement of epoxidation selectivity may be mainly related to the introduction of a certain amount of K+ that can effectively modulate the coordination environment of Ti species as well as the polarity of the zeolite. This work demonstrated that a highly active and selective catalyst for the H2O2-mediated cyclopentene epoxidation could be obtained by concurrently generating mesopore and extinguishing the unfavorable defective hydroxyl groups through the simple hydrothermal treatment of the conventional TS-1 zeolite with a mixed base/salt solution.

Abstract
Zeolites with ordered microporous systems, distinct framework topologies, good spatial nanoconfinement effects, and superior (hydro)thermal stability are an ideal scaffold for planting diverse active metal species, including single sites, clusters, and nanoparticles in the framework and framework-associated sites and extra-framework positions, thus affording the metal-in-zeolite catalysts outstanding activity, unique shape selectivity, and enhanced stability and recyclability in the processes of Brønsted acid-, Lewis acid-, and extra-framework metal-catalyzed reactions. Especially, thanks to the advances in zeolite synthesis and characterization techniques in recent years, zeolite-confined extra-framework metal catalysts (denoted as metal@zeolite composites) have experienced rapid development in heterogeneous catalysis, owing to the combination of the merits of both active metal sites and zeolite intrinsic properties. In this review, we will present the recent developments of synthesis strategies for incorporating and tailoring of active metal sites in zeolites and advanced characterization techniques for identification of the location, distribution, and coordination environment of metal species in zeolites. Furthermore, the catalytic applications of metal-in-zeolite catalysts are demonstrated, with an emphasis on the metal@zeolite composites in hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and oxidation reactions. Finally, we point out the current challenges and future perspectives on precise synthesis, atomic level identification, and practical application of the metal-in-zeolite catalyst system.
