“You are not a scientist and don’t deserve to be called a scientist unless
you have made an original discovery, and you have to make a great
discovery to be a great scientist.” (Prof. James Watson, 1962 Physiology
or Medicine Nobel laureate) Research focus
• Heterogeneous catalyst and catalysis (including special topic on Phase Boundary
Catalysis, a new approach proposed by Hadi Nur, Shigeru Ikeda and Bunsho Ohtani). • nanostructured materials, • microporous and mesoporous materials, • photocatalysis, and • polymeric materials.
Scientific Biography I grew up on a university campus in West Sumatra, Indonesia.My father, Nur Anas Djamil, was a Professor in Islamology at Institute of Teacher Training and Education (now State University of Padang) in Padang. I first became interested in chemistry one day in 1984 when I was a senior high school student. I attended an additional course in chemistry subject. This course was taught by Drs. Tahasnim Tamin, a senior lecturer at Institute of Teacher Training and Education in Padang. I was interested with the beautiful concept of chemistry that he was taught with laboratory demonstrations and analogies. This lesson also of course could not be learned without dedicated teacher that one encounters along the way. The next important lesson came as an undergraduate in chemistry at the Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia. In my three years as an undergraduate, I had chosen to do research for my final project with Dr. Harjoto Djojosubroto, Director of Nuclear Engineering Research Center, National Nuclear Energy Agency, in Bandung. He was interested in Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) of having received his Ph.D. in hot atom chemistry. We planned a comparative study on the determination of selenium in human blood by neutron activation analysis which took me the next two years to do. He also inspired me to pursue postgraduate studies. The most important event to occur during this time was the meeting of Terry Terikoh, the woman, who was to become my wife. Terry's support of my goals in academia is the biggest factor responsible for the success I have had in my professional career. In September of 1993, I enrolled a new master program in material science and engineering at Institut Teknologi Bandung and was fortunate enough to work with Dr. Bambang Ariwahjoedi who was a creative lecturer and had many great ideas. Creativity is very important at that time because of lack of scientific instruments in our department. I finished a small final project in the topic of synthesis of hydroxylapatite bioceramics by means of precipitation and its characterization. I received M.Eng. with cum laude in 1995.

Having batted zero for my professional career up to this point, I was ready for Ph.D. research. I continued my postgraduate studies in zeolite chemistry at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia under supervision of Prof. Halimaton Hamdan. I tackled a project on the synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity of ultra-large pore of aluminophoshate molecular sieves, VPI-5, just recently successfully synthesized by Prof. Mark Davis and his co-workers. After six months experimental work, I failed to synthesize VPI-5. Everything in my thesis comes from the last twelve months in the laboratory. Nonetheless, since we had another project on synthesis of zeolite from rice husk ash that both worked at once, I ended up with three international publications together on the study of the structure, physicochemical properties and catalytic activity of metal-substituted AlPO4-5. I also proposed and successful in synthesizing NaA zeolite directly from rice husk and carboneceous rice husk ash. This was an incredibly intense twelve months during which I did not sleep more than five hours a night. I finally found out what independently doing good science. It was an exhilarating period. I finish my PhD project in two and half years in 1998. I continue work as a postdoctoral fellow for one year at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.I would like to acknowledge Prof. Halimaton who have supported and encouraged me throughout all of my scientific career. In 1999 I was fortunate enough to land a postdoctoral position with Prof. Bunsho Ohtani at Catalysis Research Center, Hokkaido University, Japan. Professor Ohtani is at least partly responsible for my career in heterogeneous catalysis. I was fortunate enough to work with Professor Ohtani who was a truly inspirational scientist and personality. He had endless capacity to produce great ideas. In two years as JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) Postdoctoral Fellow and continued stay as COE (Center of Excellent) visiting researcher at Catalysis Research Center for half year, we published a seminal paper on a new concept in heterogeneous catalysis termed “Phase-Boundary Catalysis”. I finished my postdoctoral stay which was due to the talented efforts of Dr. Shigeru Ikeda in the Ohtani group. I will always be indebted to Prof. Ohtani for showing me how to do science right. It is a debt that I can never repay, but showing new researchers the joy of chemical research is at least a small effort in this regard not to mention a lot of fun. In May 2002, for one year, I joined the Ibnu Sina Institute for Fundamental Science Studies, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia as Research fellow and in 2003 I accepted my first academic position as lecturer at this university. I am very grateful having for the opportunity to work with very helpful and pleasant collaborates specifically Prof. Dr. Halimaton Hamdan, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zainab Ramli, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Salasiah Endud and Assoc. Prof. Mohd Nazlan Mohd Muhid. My research ideas such as bifunctional catalysis, amphiphilic catalysts, a new method to quantify a mixture of hexagonal MCM-41 and cubic MCM-48 mesophases by13C CP/MAS NMR, iron-porphyrin encapsulated in poly(methacrylic) as catalysts in the oxidation of benzene to phenol were published in international refereed journals. In the future we will examine heterogeneous catalyst designs for other important chiral reactions in organic synthesis. My family and I enjoy living in Johor Bahru area and are glad that we made the move. Lastly, I want to say thank you to all my teachers and mentors, I am nothing without all of you.
Researches in heterogeneous catalysis A basic feature common to all catalytic systems is that the catalytic reaction can be considered as a reaction cycle, in which catalytically active sites are initially consumed and at the end of the cycle are regenerated. There are many different catalytic systems. Of most
10/27
basic mechanistic features are well understood. Here an attempt will be made to classify several catalytic systems which contains example of research works that were carried out by me and my colleagues and students. The catalytic systems are the oxidation and acid catalysis by heterogeneous catalysts. I classify our works into six classes:
1. Single center catalyst 2. Hydrophobic-hydrophilic catalytic system 3. Bifunctional catalyst 4. Synergetic multi reaction center catalyst 5. Photocatalytic system 6. Chiral catalyst.
The above classification was inspired by classification of catalytic system proposed by Prof. R. van Santen of Technische Universiteit Eindhoven [1]. In this web site, my research works are divided into six classes based on the above classification as described in the following sections.
SINGLE CENTER CATALYST Catalytic reactions that one could define as belonging to single center catalyst, can be considered as local events. A single metal center or a cluster atoms is required for all of the elementary steps to occur. An example of such a catalytic reaction is dehydration and dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol by aluminophosphate molecular sieves [2-6]. The researches include synthesis, characterization and catalytic testing of aluminophosphate molecular sieves. These published papers were based on my PhD work in Department of Chemistry, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia under the supervision of Prof. Halimaton Hamdan. A large part of this works relates to metal-substituted aluminophosphates (MeAPO) molecular sieves. These materials with desired and controllable properties, be adsorptive or catalytic have been successfully synthesized and modified for the specific purposes such as dehydration and dehydrogenation of alcohols reactions. In
this research, I substituted Al atom in the framework structure with the divalent metal (Me) atoms (Me = Mn, Mg, Co and Zn) and silicon atom to generate catalytic sites. It is clearly demonstrated that the conversion of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene (as a model reaction) involve the Me–O–P and Si–O–P sites in the framework of AlPO. This result also suggests that MeAPOs are potential catalysts for dehydrogenation of alcohols. It was demonstrated that MnAPSO-5 was the most active catalyst for dehydration and dehydrogenation reactions of alcohols. Based on our understanding on the fundamental factors in the catalytic activity of these materials, results of this research can open the innovation in applied catalysis and play
11/27
role in industrial catalytic processes. This research was carried out in the period of 1996-1998. This period is an incredibly intense research work. I finally found out what independently doing good science. It was an exhilarating period. I finish my PhD project in two and half years in 1998. Research topic on single center catalyst also carried out in period of 2002-2006 at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. The topics of researches include metal complexes encapsulated in Al-MCM-41 as catalysts in oxidation reactions [7-10], enhancement of catalytic activity of TS-1 in epoxidation of 1-octene [11], Ti-OMS-2 as catalyst in oxidation of cyclohexene [12], catalysis by zeolite beta [13, 14] and modification of surface of titania by attachment of silica nanoparticle for the enhancement of epoxidation of alkene [15]. The researches were assisted by undergraduate and postgraduate students which were guided together with Prof. Halimaton Hamdan, Dr. Zainab Ramli and Dr. Salasiah Endud.
HYDROPHOBIC-HYDROPHILIC CATALYTIC SYSTEM
One important medium effect that has to be singled out is the hydrophobic-hydrophilic phase interplay possible in the liquid phase. Catalyst systems in which such effects play a role we propose to call hydrophobic-hydrophilic catalytic system [16-22]. In this section, a new hydrophobic-hydrophic catalytic system termed as phase-boundary catalyst is introduced. The catalyst has been designed in which the external part of the zeolite is hydrophobic, internally it is usually hydrophilic, notwithstanding to
polar nature of some reactants. In this sense, the medium environment in this system is close to that of an enzyme. The work in this kind of catalytic system is based on my scientific work in the period of 1999-2002 [24-28]. In this period, I worked as Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) postdoctoral research fellow (1999-2001) and as a Center of Excellent (COE) visiting researcher (2001-2002) in the Prof. Bunsho Ohtani laboratory at Catalysis Research Center, Hokkaido University. I finished my postdoctoral stay which was due to the talented efforts of Dr. Shigeru Ikeda in the Ohtani group. I will always be indebted to Prof. Ohtani for showing me how to do science right. It is a debt that I can never repay, but showing new researchers the joy of chemical research is at least a small effort in this regard not to mention a lot of fun. The research was still continuing after I return to Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in 2002 [21-25].
12/27
BIFUNCTIONAL CATALYST Another type catalytic systems can be defined as bifunctional. The prototype chemocatalytic system is TS-1 loaded with sulfated zirconia as bifunctional oxidative and acidic catalyst for transformation of 1-octene to 1,2-octanediol [26-29]. The catalyst concerned contains two types of reactive centers, oxidative and acidic. The titanium act as active site for the transformation 1-octene to 1,2-epoxyoctane and the protonic sites hydrolyze the epoxide. The overall reaction consists of two steps, in which an intermediate formed in one reaction olefin is consumed on the other. In heterogeneous catalysis there is usually no control over the sequence of these
steps. The control that exists is basically due to differences in the reactivity of the different sites. I gave the idea of this kind of catalytic system to Mr. Didik Prasetyoko, a PhD student at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. His PhD work was supervised by me and Dr. Zainab Ramli and Dr. Salasiah Endud. Mr. Didik graduated in 2006.
SYNERGETIC MULTI RECTION CENTER CATALYST In reactions of synergetic multi reaction center catalyst, at least two different reaction centers that communicate are required. An example is heterogeneous catalyst for liquid-gas reaction system with Mars-van Krevelen type mechanism. A prototype reaction is the oxidation of cyclohexene with molecular oxygen, in the presence of hydrophobic niobium oxide/silica [30]. The oxygen that is inserted into the methylene part of the molecules at a
niobium oxide active site is generated from molecular oxygen. The oxygen atom reaches the selective oxidation site via transport through the catalyst. The only report on this class of catalytic system proposed by me published in the Proceedings of Annual Fundamental Science Seminar 2003, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia [30]. This is only a preliminary study which shows the possibility of synergetic multi reaction center occurred in this catalytic system. Although all the results mentioned above seem consistent with this kind of catalytic action a detail mechanism is still not known.
13/27
PHOTOCATALYTIC SYSTEM One of important systems in heterogeneous catalysis is photocatalytic system. Photocatalysis can be defined as the catalysis processes that are induced by light. The study of photocatalysis is concerned with the interaction of light (in the form of photons) with photocatalysts. The photocatalys are usually semiconductor particles such as TiO2 and CdS. Photocatalysis over TiO2 is initiated by the absorption of a photon with energy equal to or greater than the band gap of TiO2 (3.2 eV), producing electron-hole (e-
/h+) pairs. Consequently, following irradiation, the TiO2 particle can act as either an electron donor or acceptor for
molecules in the surrounding media. Recently, SnO2-TiO2 coupled semiconductor photocatalyst loaded with polyaniline (PANI), a conducting polymer, was synthesized in our laboratory [31]. We demonstrated that the attachment of PANI on the surface of SnO2-TiO2 composite will reduce the electron-hole recombination during the photocatalytic oxidation of 1-octene due to PANI´s electrical conductive properties. This work was just started in 2006 in our laboratory.
CHIRAL CATALYST The control of enantioselectivity by heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis remains a big challenge today. The main drive has been to find new, exciting routes to chiral molecules while achieving high enantiomer selectivity. Here, a new strategy to obtain active catalyst in the enantioselective hydration of epoxyclohexene is proposed [32]. The research strategy is based on the ideas that the enantioselective reactions could be induced by chiral amino acids and the use of heterogeneous catalysis for synthetic purposes will overcome practical separation problems. In order to realize these ideas, chiral amino acid needs to be attached to the hydrophilic part of hydrolyzed octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS). Amino acids such as L-glutamic acid and L-
phenylalanine have been chosen because of their water-soluble properties; hence they can be easily removed by treatment with water. It is expected that the attachment of amino acid would result in a chiral solid catalyst with bimodal hydrophobic-hydrophilic character.

catalytic system, termed as “Phase-boundary Catalysis”. A phase-boundary catalyst is a catalyst which is located at the liquid-liquid phase-boundary. It is already demonstrated that this system works for alkene epoxidation without stirring or the addition of a co-solvent to drive liquid-liquid phase transfer. The strategy to make the catalyst is different from those previously reported because we aim at placing the bifunctional particles, containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions, at the phase boundary in order to catalyze the reaction without requiring an emulsion containing the catalyst by stirring.
• 1999 : Direct synthesis of NaA zeolite from rice husk and carboneceous rice husk ash.
• 1996 – 1999 : A large parts of my works relates to metal-substituted aluminophosphates (MeAPO) molecular sieves. These materials with desired and controllable properties, be adsorptive or catalytic have been successfully synthesized and modified for the specific purposes such as dehydration and dehydrogenation of alcohols reactions. In this research, I substitute Al atom in the framework structure with the divalent metal (Me) atoms (Me = Mn, Mg, Co and Zn) and silicon atom to generate catalytic sites. After the substitution was successful, this sites can act as active site to convert the reactant to product in a spesific way. It is clearly demontrated that the conversion of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene (as a model reaction) involve the Me-O-P and Si-O-P sites in the framework of AlPO. This result also suggests that MeAPOs are potential catalysts for dehydrogenation of alcohols. It was demonstrated that MnAPSO-5 was the most active catalyst for dehydration and dehydrogenation reactions of alcohols. Based on our understanding on the fundamental factors in the catalytic activity of these materials, results of this research can open the innovation in applied catalysis and play role in industrial catalytic processes.
