Immobilized redox enzymatic catalysts: Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenases supported on polyphosphazenes

Heterogeneous Pd catalysts supported on silica matrices

Palladium catalysts deposited over different types of silica (amorphous silica, mesoporousmolecular sieves, solids obtained by co-condensation of silicate precursors and many others) modified with suitable donor moieties have gained enormous importance due to their wide application as catalysts for cross-coupling and other synthetically useful organic reactions. This work provides an overview o...

CO oxidation on TiO2 supported gold catalysts

The aim within this project was to optimise the CO oxidation over TiO2 supported gold catalysts, focusing on two different preparation methods; deposition precipitation (DP) and photodeposition (PD), using different types of TiO2 and varying the theoretical gold loading. The catalyst were characterised with TEM (size) and ICP-AES (loading). For DP catalysts, the support is important for high ac...

Synthesis and study of olefin metathesis catalysts supported by redox-switchable diaminocarbene[3]ferrocenophanes.

A redox-switchable ligand, N,N'-dimethyldiaminocarbene[3]ferrocenophane (5), was synthesized and incorporated into a series of Ir- and Ru-based complexes. Electrochemical and spectroscopic analyses of (5)Ir(CO)2Cl (15) revealed that 5 displayed a Tolman electronic parameter value of 2050 cm(-1) in the neutral state and 2061 cm(-1) upon oxidation. Moreover, inspection of X-ray crystallography da...

Nanoparticle-Supported Molecular Polymerization Catalysts

Homogeneous molecular catalysts are immobilzed in a well-defined fashion on individual silica nanoparticles with a narrow particle size distribution by covalent attachment. This synthetic methodology is demonstrated with modified salicylaldiminato-substituted titanium(IV) complexes incorporating a trimethoxysilaneterminated linker: dichloro-bis[κ2-N,O-6-(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propoxyphenylimino)-2...
