Dateset for Zeolite-confined organolanthanide catalysts for C-H borylation of hydrocarbons

This dataset supports a publication, "Trimethylaluminum Activates Zeolite-Confined Lanthanum Borohydrides to Enhance Catalytic C–H Borylation", in the Journal of the American Chemical Society which describes the lanthanum borohydride catalyzed reaction of pinacolborane and aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. The chemical affects of AlMe3 treatment on the precatalyst are explored in detail. The dataset includes characterization of the precatalyst using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray adsorption spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), and density functional theory.

Surface Protection and Catalytic CH Alumination

This dataset supports a publication, "Surface Protected Organozirconium Catalyzes C–H Alumination of Saturated Hydrocarbons", and describes the surface-organozirconium catalyzed exchange of ethyl group in AlEt3 for dodecyl or methyl from dodecane or methane. The research describes the benefits of capping remaining surface OH with SiMe3 for improving yields and turnovers. The dataset includes characterization of the precatalyst using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), as well as gas chromatography and solution NMR of reaction products.
