In the extensive terrain of catalytic procedures for synthesis organic molecules, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as heterogenous catalysts have been investigated in a variety chemical processes, including Friedel–Crafts reactions, condensation oxidations, and coupling utilized owing to their specific properties such high porosity, tuneability, extraordinary activity, recyclability. The eminent...

Copper has many applications, particularly in electro-catalysis, where the oxidation state of the copper electrode plays a significant role in the selectivity towards products. Although copper-based materials have clear potential as catalysts in the reduction of CO2 and conversion to products, fundamental understanding of CO2 adsorption and activation on different copper oxide surfaces is still...

In heterogeneous catalysis, a nanoparticle (NP) system has immediate chemical surroundings with which its interaction needs to be considered, as nanoparticles are typically loaded onto certain supports. Beyond what is known about these interactions, dynamic atomic interactions between the nanoparticle and support could result from the increased energetics at the nanoscale. Here, we show that th...

The utilization of carbon dioxide is a major incentive for the growing field capture. Carbon could be an abundant building block to generate higher-value chemical products. Herein, we fabricated porous copper electrode capable catalyzing reduction into products, such as ethylene, ethanol and propanol. We investigated formation foams under different conditions, not only analyzing their morpholog...

Clusters of coinage metals like silver and gold have been studied for their opto-physical properties interesting applications. These nanoscale materials are usually synthesized from salts by reduction in aqueous solution at ambient conditions. Copper nanoclusters were copper (II) using sodium borohydride as reducing agent solution. The resulting sample was observed to be luminescent with emissi...

A useful aminohalogenation reaction for the cyclization of O-alkynyl carbamates under copper catalysis has been developed. N-Halosuccinimides have used as a halogen source. The intramolecular C−N bond formation occurs selectively affording haloalkylidene substituted heterocycles. Just in case α,α-cyclohexyl-substituted propargyl carbamate, alkoxyhalogenation pathway was operative. mechanism two...
