Abstract: The present invention relates to materials and particularly “organometallic-organic-inorganic hybrid materials” that can be used as heterogeneous catalysts for selective catalytic reactions. More precisely this invention relates to organic-inorganic hybrid nanostructured materials comprising a regularly distributed stabilized carbene that binds strongly to a metal so as to form a stable organometallic-organic-inorganic hybrid material having high catalytic performances.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for preparing organic-inorganic hybrid materials with controlled porosity and functionality comprising hydrolysis and condensation polymerization of a compound of formula (I): Z-R1—Si(OR)(OR?)(OR?), with an alkaline or alkaline-earth silicate in a mol ratio of (I)/(silicate)=1:9, in the presence of a non-ionic surfactant, to form a mesoporous silica represented by Z-R1—SiO1.5 9 SiO2, whereon is then anchored an organic compound, represented by (?)N—H, comprising a —NH— group capable of reacting with Z, to form a functionalized mesoporous silica represented by (?)N—R—SiO1.5 9 SiO2, which is optionally complexed with a metallic cation to form an organometallic complex. The invention also concerns the use of these materials to separate gases.

Abstract: A novel compound which can be used in the field of separation and purification of gases is disclosed. The compound can be incorporated into a silica gel incorporating polyazacycloalkane structural units for separating a predetermined gas from a mixture of gases. The mixture of gases is brought into contact with a metallated hybrid gel under conditions which make possible the absorption of the gas to be separated, followed by a phase of desorption of the attached gas, and the recovery of the gas.
