The reaction mechanism of ester hydrogenation catalyzed by a bidentate aminophosphine ligated manganese catalyst was studied by DFT calculations. Particular emphasize was placed on the role of the alkoxide base additives. The presence of such basic promoters as KOtB ...
We devised a co-organizing synthesis by targeting metastable assemblies. Applying a photo-cleavage reaction to the pre-stabilized self-assembled nanostructures, we could successfully place physical constraints on the initiating stage of the molecular co-assembly (CA) process f ...
Dynamic phosphorescent copper complex incorporated into the main chain of polyurethanes produces a facile and reversible response to tensile stress. In contrast to common deformation sensors, the applied stress does not lead to bond scission, or alters the phosphor structure. ...
The performance of a range of nanoparticulate gold catalysts in the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to formates was investigated and a superior performance of Au/Al2O3 was revealed. The comparative studies with unsupported gold nanoparticles pointed to th ...
Catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to formates by a lutidine-derived Ru-CNC pincer complex
Theoretical insight into the unrealized potential
Metal-ligand cooperative properties of a bis-N-heterocyclic carbene ruthenium CNC pincer catalyst and its activity in CO2 hydrogenation to formates were studied by DFT calculations complemented by NMR spectroscopy and kinetic measurements. The dearomatized Ru-CNC∗ p ...
Heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis for the hydrogenation of carboxylic acid derivatives
History, advances and future directions
The catalytic reduction of carboxylic acid derivatives has witnessed a rapid development in recent years. These reactions, involving molecular hydrogen as the reducing agent, can be promoted by heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts. The milestone achievements and recent resu ...
Bis-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) aminopincer ligands were successfully applied for the first time in the catalytic hydrogenation of esters. We have isolated and characterized a well-defined catalyst precursor as a dimeric [Ru2(L)2Cl3]PF6 ...
A simple amphiphilic surfactant containing a mono-quaternary ammonium head group (N -methylpiperidine) is effective in imparting substantial mesoporosity during synthesis of SSZ-13 and ZSM-5 zeolites. Highly mesoporous SSZ-13 prepared in this manner shows greatly improved cata ...
Lutidine-derived bis-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ruthenium CNC-pincer complexes (Ru-CNC's) were prepared. Depending on the synthetic procedure, normal (1, 2) or mixed normal/abnormal NHC-complexes (3) are formed. In the presence of phosphazene base, Ru-CNC complexes activate ...
The use of hydrogen as a fuel requires both safe and robust technologies for its storage and transportation. Formic acid (FA) produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 is recognized as a potential intermediate H 2 carrier. Herein, we present the deve ...
Mechanism of CO2hydrogenation to formates by homogeneous Ru-PNP pincer catalyst
From a theoretical description to performance optimization
The reaction mechanism of CO2hydrogenation by pyridine-based Ru-PNP catalyst in the presence of DBU base promoter was studied by means of density functional theory calculations. Three alternative reaction channels promoted by the complexes potentially present under ...
A series of faujasite zeolites was modified by extraframework Al (AlEF) with the goal to investigate the influence of such species on the intrinsic Brønsted acidity and catalytic activity towards paraffin cracking. The chemical state of AlEF and zeolite a ...
Interaction of hydrogen with model Cu-Zn methanol synthesis catalyst prepared by decomposition of mixed hydroxicarbonate is studied by inelastic neutron scattering, in situ FTIR/MS, and thermal analysis. Reduced (Cu 0.08,Zn0.92)O mixed oxide accumulates 6 ...
The metal-ligand cooperative activation of CO2 with pyridine-based ruthenium PNP pincer catalysts leads to pronounced inhibition of the activity in the catalytic CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid. The addition of water restores catalytic performance by act ...
The reduction of copper chromite, CuCr2O4, is followed by means of thermogravimetric analysis. The reduced state is studied by means of FT IR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and inelastic neutron scattering. The reduction of copper occurs in two stages: ...
