Binuclear Fe-complexes that are readily prepared by treating Bu(4)N[Fe(CO)(3)(NO)] with an excess of thiol or from Fe-salts under reductive conditions are potent catalysts for the regioselective allylic sulfenylation. Low catalyst loadings of only 0.25 mol% and reaction temperatures of only 40 °C allow for the coupling of functionalized allylic starting materials with functionalized mercaptans ...

Nanometric Carbid Silicon (SiC) supported monometallic and bimetallic catalysts containing Fe, Co, Ni transition metals were prepared by wet impregnation method. Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized over the prepared catalysts from catalytic decomposition of acetylene at 850°C by thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) technique. The synthesized nanomaterials (catalysts and CNT...

Tunable surface: The surface structure of the Fe-Pt bimetallic catalyst can be reversibly modulated between the iron-oxide-rich Pt surface and the Pt-skin structure with subsurface Fe via alternating reduction and oxidation treatments (see figure). The regenerated active Pt-skin structure is active in reactions involving CO and/or O.

In the absence of solvent, highly selective hydrogenation of o-chloronitrobenzene and m-chloronitrobenzene, with selectivity to the corresponding chloroanilines of ≥99.4% and complete conversion of the substrates, was realized over a robust Pt/Fe(3)O(4) catalyst which was prepared by adsorbing Pt nanoclusters on a Fe(3)O(4) support.

Fenton oxidation, an advanced oxidation process, is an efficient method for the treatment of recalcitrant wastewaters. Unfortunately, it utilizes H2O2 and iron-based homogeneous catalysts, which lead to the formation of high volumes of sludge and secondary pollutants. To overcome these problems, an alternate option is the usage of heterogeneous catalyst. In this study, a heterogeneous catalyst ...

A modified pH 1.0 liquid redox sulfur recovery (LRSR) process, based on reactive absorption of H(2)S((g)) in an acidic (pH 1.0) iron solution ([Fe(III)] = 9-8 g L(-1), [Fe(II)] = 1-2 g L(-1)) and electrochemical regeneration of the Fe(III)/Fe(II) catalyst couple, is introduced. Fe(II) was oxidized in a flow-through electrolytic cell by Cl(2(aq)) formed on a Ti/RuO(2) anode. pH 1.0 was applied t...

The conversion of methane to methanol over zeolitic a-oxygen sites has been demonstrated using Fe-ZSM-5. To discriminate between monoand poly-nuclear active sites, we prepared the [Fe]-ZEO with iron in the ZEOlite lattice via direct synthesis and Fex-ZEO, by dispersion of x wt.% iron on the ZEOlite. Shape-selective formation of nano-clusters of iron oxides with various sizes is realized inside ...

The Fe-MCM-22 zeolite was found to be an efficient solid heterogeneous catalyst for synthesis of dihydropyrano [2,3-c] pyrazoles via one pot four component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, aromatic aldehyde and malononitrile in aqueous alcohol. The catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method under autogenous pressure and modified by Fe (III) ion exchange. The prepared cata...
