Na2[Ir(cod)(emim)(mtppts)] (1) with high catalytic activity in various organic- and aqueous-phase hydrogenation reactions was immobilized on several types of commercially available ion-exchange supports. The resulting heterogeneous catalyst investigated batch an H-Cube flow reactor the phenylacetylene, diphenylacetylene, 1-hexyne, benzylideneacetone. Under proper conditions, highly selective al...

Binary Ni–Cu heterogeneous catalysts are known to demonstrate excellent activity in conventional hydrogenation of phenolic compounds, and Cu addition facilitates hydrodeoxygenation (HDO). In this study, we aimed show the effect on specific catalytic selectivity transfer hydrogenation, which 2-PrOH was used as a solvent an H donor. Catalytic transformations anisole were studied sub- supercritica...

Since the discovery of ruthenium as a catalyst for hydrogenation reactions, Ru catalysts have been widely used in the chemical, petrochemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries, and in energy-conversion technologies. The scope of homogeneous Ru catalysts has been well-illustrated recently. However, heterogeneous catalysts can be preferable from both industrial and environmental perspectives. ...

A novel non-noble Co@C-N catalytic system has been developed for catalytic transfer hydrogenation reactions. Co@C-N was found to be highly active and selective in the hydrogenation of a variety of unsaturated bonds with isopropanol in the absence of base additives.

conclusions according to the results, cop is an efficient and rapid method for removing of toluene from aqueous solutions. results the analysis of variance (anova) of the toluene degradation by cop/mgo nanoparticles showed f-value of 19.53 for the quadratic model indicating that the prepared model is significant. the predicted result showed that maximum degradation of toluene (~99.99%) could be...

The catalytic cycle for the production of formic acid by CO2 hydrogenation and the reverse reaction have received renewed attention because they are viewed as offering a viable scheme for hydrogen storage and release. In this Forum Article, CO2 hydrogenation catalyzed by iridium complexes bearing sophisticated N^N-bidentate ligands is reported. We describe how a ligand containing hydroxy groups...

The coupling of reactions in catalytic membrane reactors provides novel reactor configurations that allow shifting the thermodynamic equilibrium and yields of thermodynamically limited reactions and enhancing significantly the rate of production. An interesting pair to couple is the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene and the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline. Hydrogen produced in...

Raman spectroscopy is known as a powerful technique for solid catalyst characterization as it provides vibrational fingerprints of (metal) oxides, reactants, and products. It can even become a strong surface-sensitive technique by implementing shell-isolated surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS). Au@TiO2 and Au@SiO2 shell-isolated nanoparticles (SHINs) of various sizes were therefore pr...
