A highly efficient and recyclable Ir catalyst bearing a 4,7-dihydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline ligand was developed for the evolution of high-pressure H2 gas (>100 MPa), and a large amount of atmospheric pressure H2 gas (>120 L), over a long term (3.5 months). The reaction proceeds through the dehydrogenation of highly concentrated aqueous formic acid (FA, 40 vol %, 10 mol L-1 ) at 80 °C using 1 μmo...

We describe a new catalyst for group IV nanowire heterostructures, based on alloying Ag with Au, that combines the ability to control catalyst phase and nanowire structure with good environmental stability. Compared to other alloy catalysts, we show a higher oxidation resistance of AgAu and more consistent crystal shapes and catalyst/nanowire orientation relationships during growth. We show tha...

Monoclinic CuO crystallite in grams has been obtained from resin bound Cu(II)-1,10-phenanthroline complex, R(-)[Cu(1,10-phen)(2)](2+) that becomes a recyclable catalyst for oxidative phenol coupling (OPC) reaction. Thus an exclusively intuitive blue fluorescing perylene derivative is derived from colorless 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene (2,7-DHN) in high yield.

A solid-phase synthesis of glycopeptoids was explored through olefin cross metathesis (CM). Peptoids and sugar derivatives with appropriate olefin moieties were coupled in the presence of an olefin metathesis catalyst to afford glycopeptoids in good yields. This systematic solid-phase CM study can provide facile access to the molecular sources of glycopeptidomimetics and postchemical modificati...

CuO-CeO2 nanocomposite is reported as a green recyclable catalyst for the chemoselective synthesis of pentaerythritol diacetals from aromatic aldehydes under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst was synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized by XRD, BET specific surface area, FESEM and EDS analysis. This procedure provides some advantages such as simple work-up, clean procedure, ...

In this research, a metal oxide nanocatalyst of ZnO supported copper oxide is reported as a highly efficient recyclable catalyst for the chemoselective synthesis of 1,1-diacetates. The catalyst was synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized by XRD, BET specific surface area, ESEM, EDS and TEM analysis. A wide range of aldehydes, including aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes were conv...

In cross-coupling of biomass-derived acetone and alcohols contributing to the production carbon-elongated chemicals fuels, essential catalyst components are metal dispersion for alcohol dehydrogenation and, more importantly, basicity carbon–carbon coupling. Herein, we report potential co-precipitated praseodymia–zirconia solid solution (Pr2Zr2O7) as a support Cu conversion butanol into C7 C11 p...

V2O5/SiO2 catalyst was utilized to oxidize SO2 to SO3 species in the presence of oxygen mainly for producing sulfuric acid. For this catalyst, the active phase was a mixture of vanadium pentoxide and basic sulfate/pyrosulfate material. This active phase at the reaction temperature behaved as a liquid filling up the pores of the silica support. On the other hand, amounts of the SO3 and V5+ speci...

A simple and efficient method for the chemoselective 1,1-diacetate protection of aromatic aldehydes with acetic anhydride by using Ni2+ supported on hydroxyapatite-core-shell magnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (γ-Fe2O3@HAp-Ni2+) under solvent free conditions. This method has several advantages, including high yield, short reaction time, simple work-up and recyclable property of the catalyst. The ca...

The synthesis of a monosilylated Grubbs-Hoveyda ruthenium alkylidene complex is described, as well as the preparation and characterization of the corresponding material by sol-gel cogelification with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and the assay of this recyclable supported catalyst in ring-closing diene and enyne metathesis reactions under thermal and microwave conditions.
