Adsorption Geometry Determines Catalytic Selectivity in Highly Chemoselective Hydrogenation of Crotonaldehyde on Ag(111)

TPR of Crotonaldehyde and its Hydrogenation Products Figure S1 shows TPR data acquired after adsorption of ~ 1 ML H(a) on progressively increasing amounts of crotonaldehyde (0.3 ML, 0.6 ML, 1 ML in A-C respectively). It is clear that in every case there was a substantial and approximately constant production of crotyl alcohol, with increasing yields of butyraldehyde and, especially, butanol as ...

Low-Temperature Chemoselective Gold-Surface-Mediated Hydrogenation of Acetone and Propionaldehyde

Since nanoscale gold was first discovered to be catalytically active, gold-based catalysts have been studied both theoretically and experimentally in a wide range of reactions. These catalysts exhibit high activity for hydrogenation processes, in particular showing enhanced selectivity. However, there is a lack of relevant fundamental studies into these processes. Conducting hydrogenation react...

Catalytic Hydrogenation and Hydrodeoxygenation of Furfural over Pt(111): A Model System for the Rational Design and Operation of Practical Biomass Conversion Catalysts

Furfural is a key bioderived platform chemical whose reactivity under hydrogen atmospheres affords diverse chemical intermediates. Here, temperature-programmed reaction spectrometry and complementary scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) are employed to investigate furfural adsorption and reactivity over a Pt(111) model catalyst. Furfural decarbonylation to furan is highly sensitive to reaction c...
