Subdisciplines: Biocatalysis and Enzymology, Molecular Catalysis for Organic Synthesis, and Heterogeneous Photocatalysis A a comprehensive catalysis journal, jointly “owned” by the vast array of researchers studying molecules and materials that catalyze reactions, the scope of ACS Catalysis is understandably quite broad. In this regard, the editorial team has stated that the journal seeks the t...

An efficient and convenient protocol for synthesis of 3-hydroxy-3-indolyl-2-oxindoles and 3,3-diindolyl-2-oxindoles is presented here. The syntheses were achieved selectively under catalysis of LiClO4 whereby the products were obtained purely.

metalloporphirins; cu(tpp), mn(tpp)cl, co(tpp), fe(tpp)cl, zn(tpp) and mn(obp)cl catalyze region and chemoselective silylation of hydroxyl groups with hmds. fe(tpp)cl is the most effective catalyst and silylation occurs immediately in its presence at room temperature.

the direct conversion of methane to c2 hydrocarbons, in a quartz tube reactor enforced by a dc corona discharge, was investigated at atmospheric pressure. the process was carried out in the presence of metal oxide catalysts of mn/w/sio2, mn/w/sio2 (tetraethyl orthosilicate, teos), and mn/w/cnt (supported on carbon nanotubes). the total yield to c2 hydrocarbons in the presence of metal oxide cat...

a comparison of the photoefficiency of ni(ii) and nis incorporated into zeolite p towards photodecolorization of eriochrome black t dye solution was investigated in a photocatalytic reactor using uv lamp as a light source. the effect of various experimental variables on the decolorization performance of the process was evaluated by examining catalyst dosage, temperature, initial dye concentrati...

manganese metal-organic framework (mn-mof) containing mn2+ ions, benzenetricarboxylic acid (btc) and n,n-dimethylformamid (dmf) was prepared and used as catalyst for oxidation of alkenes such as 1,1-diphenylethylene, trans-stilbene, cyclohexene, norbornene, styrene and cyclooctene to epoxides with 33-92% conversion and 75-100% selectivity and oxidation of alkanes such as fluorene, adamantane, e...

trifluoromethylated organic compounds, especially chiral quaternary alcohols bearing trifluoromethyl group are of important intermediates in drugs, agrochemicals and etc.an efficient epoxidation of β-cf3-β,β-disubstituted unsaturated ketones (6) has been developed with environmental benign hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant and f5-substituted chiral quaternary ammonium salt (1g or 5) derived from...
