In recent years 'frustrated Lewis pairs' (FLPs) have been shown to be effective metal-free catalysts for the hydrogenation of many unsaturated substrates. Even so, limited functional-group tolerance restricts the range of solvents in which FLP-mediated reactions can be performed, with all FLP-mediated hydrogenations reported to date carried out in non-donor hydrocarbon or chlorinated solvents. ...

Bimetallic Mo-Fe and Mo-Co sulfide clusters were anchored on AI,O, and used for CO hydrogenation. In addition to methane, significant amounts of dimethyl ether were produced. The reaction orders obtained from power rate laws for methanation indicated that the surfaces of the catalytic ensembles were not completely saturated by CO, in contrast to the observations for most conventional CO hydroge...

The selective hydrogenation of benzofurans in the presence a heterogeneous non-noble metal catalyst is reported. developed optimal catalytic material consists cobalt-cobalt oxide core–shell nanoparticles supported on silica, which has been prepared by immobilization and pyrolysis cobalt-DABCO-citric acid complex silica under argon at 800 °C. This novel allows for simple functionalized to 2,3-di...

Ni catalysts supported on Nano porous catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method and tested for vapor phase hydrogenation of benzene. The textural and physico-chemical properties of Ni catalysts were characterized by the X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope and N2 adsorption-desorption analysis. The catalytic evaluation reve...

Asymmetric hydrogenation of C=C bonds is of the highest importance in organic synthesis, and such reactions are currently carried out with organometallic homogeneous catalysts. Achieving heterogeneous metal-catalyzed hydrogenation, a highly desirable goal, necessitates forcing the crucial enantiodifferentiating step to take place at the metal surface. By synthesis and application of six chiral ...

Abstract Atomically monodispersed heterogeneous catalysts with uniform active sites and high atom utilization efficiency are ideal catalytic materials. Designing such type of catalysts, however, remains a formidable challenge. Herein, using wet-chemical method, we successfully achieved mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (mpg-C 3 N 4 ) supported dual-atom Pt 2 catalyst, which exhibited excellen...

The CO2 hydrogenation to dimethyl ether (DME) is a potentially promising process for efficiently utilizing as renewable and cheap carbon resource. Currently, the one-step heterogeneous catalytic conversion of value-added chemicals exhibits higher efficiency than photocatalytic or electrocatalytic routes. However, typical catalysts DME still suffer from deficient space–time yield stability in in...

Electrocatalytic hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol (FAL) and 2-methylfuran (MF) using a zinc catalyst represents greener pathway produce value added chemicals as compared the chemo-catalytic hydrogenation.

Cyclodextrins act as growth controllers in the synthesis of PVP-stabilized Ru(0) nanoparticles, leading to enhancement of the catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of furfural.

Pd-loaded hierarchical FAU (Pd-FAU) membranes, containing an intrinsic secondary non-zeolitic (meso)porosity, were prepared and tested in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone (AP) to produce phenylethanol (PE), an industrially relevant product. The best operating conditions were preliminarily identified by testing different solvents and organic hydrogen donors in a batch hydroge...
