Photocatalysis provides a prospective approach for achieving high-value products under mild conditions. To realize this, constructing selective, low-cost and environmentally friendly photocatalyst is the most critical factor. In this study, BiOBr/Zn@SnO2 fabricated by one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method BiOBr: SnO2 ratio 3:1; material applied as in fructose selective conversion to lactic acid...

The amplifying asymmetric autocatalysis discovered by Soai and coworkers in 1995 does not fit easily into the extensively investigated framework of organozinc alkylation of aldehydes. In that case the catalyst is a monomeric Zn chelate that functions as both Lewis acid and Lewis base, permitting the simultaneous coordination of both dialkylzinc reagent and aldehyde reactant. By contrast, the So...

We report the mechanism of asymmetric nitroaldol (Henry) reaction catalyzed by a dinuclear Zn complex using density functional theory. The experimentally proposed catalytic cycle is validated, in which the first step is the deprotonation of nitromethane by the ethyl anion of the catalyst, subsequently a C-C bond formation step, and then the protonation of the resulting alkoxide. Three mechanist...

a series of transition metal complexes with two thiosemicarbazide schiff bases, 1-(4-dimethylaminobenzyl- idene)thiosemicarbazide (abtsc) and 1-(2-pyridincarboxyl-idene) thiosemicarbazide (tcts) were synthesized with co(ii), ni(ii), zn(ii), cd(ii) and ag(i) salts (chloride and acetate). these complexes were characterized by different methods including proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1hnmr), ...

Catalytic methods that transform C?H bonds into C?X are of paramount importance in synthesis. A particular focus has been the generation organoboranes, organosilanes and organostannanes from simple hydrocarbons (X=B, Si, Sn). Despite organozinc compounds (X=Zn), their synthesis by catalytic functionalisation remains unknown. Herein, we show a palladium catalyst zinc hydride reagent can be used ...

a mild, green and highly efficient route for regio-selective amination of oxiranes was developed via incorporation of mn(ii), fe(ii), co(ii), ni(ii), cu(ii) and zn(ii) cations onto the surface of hydroxyapatite-encapsulated γ-fe2o3 nanoparticles (γ-fe2o3@hap). among six magnetically recoverable catalytic systems denoted as [γ-fe2o3@hap-mii], the catalyst in which m designated as fe(ii) showed t...

A self-powered dual hydrogen production system constructed by combining a Zn–H 2 battery and an overall hydrazine splitting unit with Rh single atoms supported on oxygen-functionalized Ti 3 C O x bifunctional catalyst achieves promising H generation rate of 45.77 mmol h −1 .

The zinc(II) complexes with ortho-hydroxy substituted arylhydrazo-β-diketonates [Zn(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)(μ-L(1))(2)] (5), [Zn{(CH(3))(2)SO}(H(2)O)(L(2))] (6), [Zn(2)(H(2)O)(2)(μ-L(3))(2)] (7) and [Zn(H(2)O)(2)(L(4))]·H(2)O (8) were synthesized by reaction of a zinc(II) salt with the appropriate hydrazo-β-diketone, HO-2-C(6)H(4)-NHN=C{C(=O)CH(3)}(2) (H(2)L(1), 1), HO-2-O(2)N-4-C(6)H(3)-NHN=C{C(=O)CH(3...

Visible light photocatalytic H(2) production from water splitting is of great significance for its potential applications in converting solar energy into chemical energy. In this study, a series of Zn(1-x)Cd(x)S solid solutions with a nanoporous structure were successfully synthesized via a facile template-free method at room temperature. The obtained solid solutions were characterized by X-ray...

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) is an anionic clay material known to be effective as a catalyst for the photodegradation of dye organic pollutants.
