The tetrametallic ruthenium-oxo-hydroxo-hydride complex {[(PCy(3))(CO)RuH](4)(mu(4)-O)(mu(3)-OH)(mu(2)-OH)} (1) was synthesized in two steps from the monomeric complex (PCy(3))(CO)RuHCl (2). The tetrameric complex 1 was found to be a highly effective catalyst for the transfer dehydrogenation of alcohols. Complex 1 showed a different catalytic activity pattern towards primary and secondary benzy...

The construction of novel (macrocyclic) multinuclear Co(III)salen catalysts is reported. Olefin metathesis has been used as a key construction tool for the multimetallic structures starting from versatile allyl-substituted salen scaffolds. The Co(III) complexes were tested in the hydrolytic kinetic resolution of (rac)-1,2-epoxyhexane and epoxide ring opening reactions using methanol as the nucl...

Abstract The effects of flue gas temperature and SO 2 content on the catalytic oxidation 2Ce-4Cu/Al catalysts for cooperative control Hg 0 NO were investigated. results show that optimum activation is 200°C. And when concentration in reaches 600ppm, comprehensive conversion efficiency optimal, remains above 70%. catalyst analysis before after reaction both lattice oxygen chemisorption are invol...

Herein, we report the first allosteric photoredox catalyst regulated via constructively coupled structural and electronic control. While often synergistically exploited in nature, these two types of control mechanisms have only been applied independently in the vast majority of allosteric enzyme mimics and receptors in the literature. By embedding a model of photosystem II in a supramolecular c...

Scientists engaged in heterogeneous catalysis often cite enzymes as their model catalysts. Enzymes can efficiently catalyze multistep processes that give various types of biomolecules. Remarkably, many enzymes combine two antagonistic catalytic functions, such as acid and base functions. Attracted by this challenge, several groups synthesized homogeneous catalysts that can successfully combine ...

Two novel hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts: FeN4/C and FeN2/C, were prepared using an impregnation-pyrolysis method. The two materials were investigated as catalysts for hydrodesulfurization (HDS) and hydrodearomitization (HDA) of model compounds. The turnover frequency of the two FeN catalysts is comparable to (FeN4/C) or even higher (FeN2/C) than that of MoNi/Al2O3. The FeN4/C catalyst al...

In animal behavioral biology, there are several cases in which an autonomous observing/training system would be useful. 1) Observation of certain species continuously, or for documenting specific events, which happen irregularly; 2) Longterm intensive training of animals in preparation for behavioral experiments; and 3) Training and testing of animals without human interference, to eliminate po...

Small organic and metal-containing molecules (molecular mass <1,000) can catalyse synthetically useful reactions with the high levels of stereoselectivity typically associated with macromolecular enzymatic catalysts. Whereas enzymes are generally understood to accelerate reactions and impart selectivity as they stabilize specific transition structures through networks of cooperative interaction...

the purpose of the present research was to study the effect of cooperative methodology on the social skill development of the primary students. the methodology was quasi-experimental, with pre-test, post-test, and control group. the population of the research was all 486 ‘laleh’ primary school male students in the year of 2009-2010, among whom, 61 four-grade participants were finally chosen. th...

Cooperative bimetallic catalysis has been documented in several recently reported asymmetric epoxide opening reactions that display second-order kinetic dependence on catalyst, specific requirements for multiple metal ions, and/or pronounced catalyst nonlinear effects.1 In such systems, one metal is proposed to serve as Lewis acid for epoxide activation and another as counterion for the nucleop...
