Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for preparing a magnesium adamantane carboxylate salt is provided. The method includes mixing a magnesium salt and a diamondoid compound having at least one carboxylic acid moiety to form a reactant mixture and hydrothermally treating the reactant mixture at a reaction temperature for a reaction time to form the magnesium adamantane carboxylate salt.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for preparing a magnesium adamantane carboxylate salt, the method comprising: mixing a magnesium salt and a diamondoid compound having at least one carboxylic acid moiety to form a reactant mixture; and hydrothermally treating the reactant mixture at a reaction temperature for a reaction time to form the magnesium adamantane carboxylate salt. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the magnesium salt and the diamondoid compound are mixed in amounts that provide a ratio of Mg 2+ to diamondoid compound in the reaction mixture of from 0.5:1 to 1.0:1. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the magnesium salt is Mg(OH) 2 . 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the diamondoid compound is 1-adamantane carboxylic acid. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reaction temperature is from 100° C. to 180° C. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reaction temperature is from 140° C. to 160° C. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reaction time is at least 12 hours. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the magnesium adamantane carboxylate salt comprises a layered morphology. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the layered morphology comprises a plurality of layers lacking edge-to-face connections. 10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the layered morphology comprises a plurality of layers each having aspect ratios greater than 500. 11. A method for preparing a nanocomposite, the method comprising: thermally decomposing a magnesium adamantane carboxylate salt to form the nanocomposite; the magnesium adamantane carboxylate salt prepared by: mixing a magnesium salt and a diamondoid compound having at least one carboxylic acid moiety to form a reactant mixture; and hydrothermally treating the reactant mixture at a reaction temperature for a reaction time to form the magnesium adamantane carboxylate salt. 12. The method of claim 11 , wherein thermally decomposing the magnesium adamantane carboxylate salt comprises heating the magnesium adamantane carboxylate salt in air at a decomposition temperature for a decomposition time. 13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the decomposition temperature is at least 450° C. 14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the decomposition time is at least 4 hours. 15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the nanocomposite comprises magnesium oxide particles dispersed on a carbon support. 16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the nanocomposite comprises a microporous sheet morphology. 17. A catalyst system comprising: (a) a magnesium adamantane carboxylate salt prepared by: mixing a magnesium salt and a diamondoid compound having at least one carboxylic acid moiety to form a reactant mixture; and hydrothermally treating the reactant mixture at a reaction temperature for a reaction time to form the magnesium adamantane carboxylate salt; (b) a nanocomposite prepared by: thermally decomposing the magnesium adamantine carboxylate of (a) to form the nanocomposite; or (c) a mixture of (a) and (b).
