This study on surface-modifications of bulk oxidation catalysts with sub-monolayers PO x , BO and MnO via atomic layer deposition demonstrates this method to be a powerful tool for tuning the performance in selective oxidations light alkanes.

o-Xylylenebis (triphenylphosphonium peroxymonosulfate) (1) was easily prepared from an aqueous solution of oxone and o-xylylenebis- (triphenylphosphonium bromide). This Compound (1) is a useful and selective reagent for conversion of oximes, semicarbazones and phenylhydrazones to the corresponding carbonyl compounds. The reaction was carried out under solvent-free conditions and in the presence...

Effects of water on the catalytic performances of MoVTeNbO catalyst in the oxidation of propane to acrylic acid have been investigated at different reaction temperatures and different steam contents. Obtained results show that both catalytic performances and catalyst structure are very sensitive to the presence of water vapor in the reaction feed. Presence of water induces some structural modif...

Selective monoiodination of aromatic compounds such as dimethoxybenzene has been successfully achieved with I+, which is generated by anodic oxidation of I2 in acetonitrile, using micromixing.

Metal (Au, Cu)-modified Si nanowires (SiNWs) are superior catalysts for selective oxidation of hydrocarbons, while SiNWs are a powerful substrate support (enhance efficiency and selectivity) for nanocatalysts.

Ordered, extra-large mesopores with highly loaded gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibits unique sintering- and coking-resistant properties in gas-phase, cyclohexanol selective aerobic oxidation.
