Over the last six years, highly active catalysts for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide have been developed. Initial studies showed that bimetallic aluminium(salen) complexes [Al(salen)]2O formed active catalysts and kinetic studies allowed the catalytic cycle to be determined. The catalysts could be immobilized on silica, allowing them to be used in a gas phase...

M1-M2-N-C bimetallic catalysts with M1 as Fe and Co and M2 as Fe, Co, Ni and Mn were synthesized and investigated as cathode catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The catalysts were prepared by Sacrificial Support Method in which silica was the template and aminoantipyrine (AAPyr) was the organic precursor. The electro-catalytic properties of these catalysts were investigated by using ...

the series of mono-metallic and bi-metallic catalysts have been prepared by impregnatingwith solutions containing compound of h2ptc15,nbc15 and lml hc1 (0.1 mol). the activityand selectivity of the catalysts have been determined under conditions at 450-500°c, 15-30atm. molar ratio h2/c7h16=5 and vvh=1.5/h for converting n-heptane. under theseexperimental conditions it has been established that ...

Colloids with controlled dimensions, morphology and composition can be used to obtain supported metal catalysts with desired characteristics. Yet, removal of capping agents which block active metal sites in such catalysts can be challenging: mild methods often result in incomplete removal of capping agents, whereas harsher methods can cause change in particle size or morphology or cause metal s...

New bimetallic Zn/Zr salen-type systems were employed as catalysts in the asymmetric intramolecular hydroamination reaction. High enantioselectivity for the formation of piperidines of up to 98% ee were observed.

We report the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic activity of bimetallic palladium-platinum dendrimer-encapsulated catalysts (DECs). These materials are prepared by co-complexation of different ratios of palladium and platinum salts to the interior tertiary amines of fourth-generation, hydroxyl-terminated poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers. Chemical reduction of these composites yields ...

AuRu bimetallic catalysts have been prepared by sequential deposition of Au on Ru or vice versa obtaining different nanostructures: when Ru has been deposited on Au, a Au(core)-Ru(shell) has been observed, whereas the deposition of Au on Ru leads to a bimetallic phase with Ru enrichment on the surface. In the latter case, the unexpected Ru enrichment could be attributed to the weak adhesion of ...

In this work, the synthesis of bimetallic Ag and Cu particles on carbon vulcan (AgCu/C) is reported, synthesized by a simple galvanic displacement method using citrate tribasic hydrate as co-reducing agent commercial material based Cu/C template. The materials were characterized several physicochemical techniques, including TGA, ICP-OES, XRD, SEM, BET. catalysts evaluated cathodic for oxygen re...
