Metal-free hydrogenation catalysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

چکیده
The frustrated Lewis pair, B(C(6)F(5))(3)/Ph(2)PC(6)F(5), acts as an efficient catalyst for the hydrogenation of the polycyclic hydrocarbons including anthracene derivatives, tetracene and tetraphene, at 80 °C and 100 atm H(2) pressure via a mechanism involving protonation of polyaromatic species followed by hydride transfer.

Tandem catalysis of amines using porous graphene oxide.
Porous graphene oxide can be used as a metal-free catalyst in the presence of air for oxidative coupling of primary amines. Herein, we explore a GO-catalyzed carbon-carbon or/and carbon-heteroatom bond formation strategy to functionalize primary amines in tandem to produce a series of valuable products, i.e., α-aminophosphonates, α-aminonitriles, and polycyclic heterocompounds. Furthermore, whe...
متن کاملMetal-free photochemical silylations and transfer hydrogenations of benzenoid hydrocarbons and graphene
The first hydrogenation step of benzene, which is endergonic in the electronic ground state (S0), becomes exergonic in the first triplet state (T1). This is in line with Baird's rule, which tells that benzene is antiaromatic and destabilized in its T1 state and also in its first singlet excited state (S1), opposite to S0, where it is aromatic and remarkably unreactive. Here we utilized this fea...
متن کاملCatalysis beyond frontier molecular orbitals: Selectivity in partial hydrogenation of multi-unsaturated hydrocarbons on metal catalysts
The mechanistic understanding and control over transformations of multi-unsaturated hydrocarbons on transition metal surfaces remains one of the major challenges of hydrogenation catalysis. To reveal the microscopic origins of hydrogenation chemoselectivity, we performed a comprehensive theoretical investigation on the reactivity of two α,β-unsaturated carbonyls-isophorone and acrolein-on seven...
متن کاملA fresh look at an old nano-technology: catalysis.
The development of model catalyst systems for heterogeneous catalysis going beyond the metal single crystal approach, including phenomena involving the limited size of metal nanoparticles supported on oxide surfaces, as well as the electronic interaction through the oxide-metal interface, is exemplified on the basis of two case studies from the laboratory of the authors. In the first case study...
متن کاملTandem Catalysis for CO2 Hydrogenation to C2-C4 Hydrocarbons.
Conversion of carbon dioxide to C2-C4 hydrocarbons is a major pursuit in clean energy research. Despite tremendous efforts, the lack of well-defined catalysts in which the spatial arrangement of interfaces is precisely controlled hinders the development of more efficient catalysts and in-depth understanding of reaction mechanisms. Herein, we utilized the strategy of tandem catalysis to develop ...
