- Heterogeneous supramolecular catalysis through immobilization of anionic M4L6assemblies on cationic polymers
-
Although most of the currently developed supramolecular catalysts that emulate enzymatic reactivity with unique selectivity and activity through specific host-guest interactions work under homogeneous conditions, enzymes in nature can operate under heterogeneous conditions as membrane-bound enzymes. In order to develop such a heterogeneous system, an immobilized chiral supramolecular cluster Ga416 (2) was introduced into cross-linked polymers with cationic functionalities. These heterogeneous supramolecular catalysts were used in aza-Prins and aza-Cope reactions and successfully applied to continuous-flow reactions. They showed high durability and maintained high turnovers for long periods of time. In sharp contrast to the majority of examples of heterogenized homogeneous catalysts, the newly developed catalysts showed enhanced activity and robustness compared to those exhibited by the corresponding soluble cluster catalyst. An enantioenriched cluster was also immobilized to enable asymmetric catalysis, and activity and enantioselectivity of the supported chiral catalyst were maintained during recovery and reuse experiments and under a continuous-flow process. Significantly, the structure of the ammonium cations in the polymers affected stability, reactivity, and enantioselectivity, which is consistent with the hypothesis that the cationic moieties in the polymer support interact with cluster as an exohedral protecting shell, thereby influencing their catalytic performance.

- Metal vapor synthesis of ultrasmall Pd nanoparticles functionalized with N-heterocyclic carbenes
-
The synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-stabilized palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) by an entirely new strategy comprising the NHC functionalization of ligand-free PdNPs obtained by metal vapor synthesis is described. Detailed characterization confirms the formation of very small monodisperse PdNPs (2.3 nm) and the presence of the NHC ligand on the Pd surface. The stable NHC-functionalized PdNPs dispersed onto a carbon support showed high activity in the hydrogenation of limonene with enhanced regioselectivity in comparison to bare PdNPs on carbon.

- Continuous synthesis of menthol from citronellal and citral over Ni-beta-zeolite-sepiolite composite catalyst
-
One-pot continuous synthesis of menthols both from citronellal and citral was investigated over 5 wt% Ni supported on H-Beta-38-sepiolite composite catalyst at 60–70 °C under 10–29 bar hydrogen pressure. A relatively high menthols yield of 53% and 49% and stereoselectivity to menthol of 71–76% and 72–74% were obtained from citronellal and citral respectively at the contact time 4.2 min, 70 °C and 20 bar. Citral conversion noticeably decreased with time-on-stream under 10 and 15 bar of hydrogen pressure accompanied by accumulation of citronellal, the primary hydrogenation product of citral, practically not affecting selectivity to menthol. A substantial amount of defuctionalization products observed during citral conversion, especially at the beginning of the reaction (ca. 1 h), indicated that all intermediates could contribute to formation of menthanes. Ni/H-Beta-38-sepiolite composite material prepared by extrusion was characterized by TEM, SEM, XPS, XRD, ICP-OES, N2 physisorption and FTIR techniques to perceive the interrelation between the physico-chemical and catalytic properties.

- Nanocomposite Hydrogel of Pd@ZIF-8 and Laponite: Size-Selective Hydrogenation Catalyst under Mild Conditions
-
The composite hydrogel of a nanoscale metal–organic framework (NMOF) and nanoclay has emerged as a new soft-material with advanced properties and applications. Herein, we report a facile synthesis of a hydrogel nanocomposite by charge-assisted self-assembly of Pd@ZIF-8 nanoparticles with Laponite nanoclay which coat the surface of Pd@ZIF-8 nanoparticles. Such surface coating significantly enhanced the thermal stability of the ZIF-8 compared to the pristine framework. Further, the Pd@ZIF-8+LP hydrogel nanocomposite shows better size-selective catalytic hydrogenation of olefins than Pd@ZIF-8 nanoparticles based on selective diffusion of the substrate.

- RhNPs supported onN-functionalized mesoporous silica: effect on catalyst stabilization and catalytic activity
-
Amine and nicotinamide groups grafted on ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) were investigated as stabilizers for RhNPs used as catalysts in the hydrogenation of several substrates, including carbonyl and aryl groups. Supported RhNPs on functionalized OMS were prepared by controlled decomposition of an organometallic precursor of rhodium under dihydrogen pressure. The resulting materials were characterized thoroughly by spectroscopic and physical techniques (FTIR, TGA, BET, SEM, TEM, EDX, XPS) to confirm the formation of spherical rhodium nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution supported on the silica surface. The use of nicotinamide functionalized OMS as a support afforded small RhNPs (2.3 ± 0.3 nm), and their size and shape were maintained after the catalyzed acetophenone hydrogenation. In contrast, amine-functionalized OMS formed RhNP aggregates after the catalytic reaction. The supported RhNPs could selectively reduce alkenyl, carbonyl, aryl and heteroaryl groups and were active in the reductive amination of phenol and morpholine, using a low concentration of the precious metal (0.07-0.18 mol%).

- Chemoselective and Tandem Reduction of Arenes Using a Metal–Organic Framework-Supported Single-Site Cobalt Catalyst
-
The development of heterogeneous, chemoselective, and tandem catalytic systems using abundant metals is vital for the sustainable synthesis of fine and commodity chemicals. We report a robust and recyclable single-site cobalt-hydride catalyst based on a porous aluminum metal–organic framework (DUT-5 MOF) for chemoselective hydrogenation of arenes. The DUT-5 node-supported cobalt(II) hydride (DUT-5-CoH) is a versatile solid catalyst for chemoselective hydrogenation of a range of nonpolar and polar arenes, including heteroarenes such as pyridines, quinolines, isoquinolines, indoles, and furans to afford cycloalkanes and saturated heterocycles in excellent yields. DUT-5-CoH exhibited excellent functional group tolerance and could be reusable at least five times without decreased activity. The same MOF-Co catalyst was also efficient for tandem hydrogenation–hydrodeoxygenation of aryl carbonyl compounds, including biomass-derived platform molecules such as furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural to cycloalkanes. In the case of hydrogenation of cumene, our spectroscopic, kinetic, and density functional theory (DFT) studies suggest the insertion of a trisubstituted alkene intermediate into the Co–H bond occurring in the turnover limiting step. Our work highlights the potential of MOF-supported single-site base–metal catalysts for sustainable and environment-friendly industrial production of chemicals and biofuels.

- Acidic metal-organic framework empowered precise hydrodeoxygenation of bio-based furan compounds and cyclic ethers for sustainable fuels
-
Target synthesis of hydrocarbons from abundant biomass is highly desired for sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) to meet the need for both net zero carbon emission and air pollution control. However, precise hydrodeoxygenation (PHDO) of bio-based furan compounds and cyclic ethers to isomerically pure alkanes remains a challenge in heterogenous catalysis, which usually requires delicate control of the distribution of acid and metal catalytic sites in nanoconfined space. Here we show that a nanoporous acidic metal-organic framework (MOF), namely MIL-101-SO3H, enables one-pot PHDO reactions from furan-derivative oxygenates to solely single-component alkanes by just mechanical mixing with commercial Pd/C towards highly efficient and highly selective hydrocarbon production. The superior performance of such tandem catalysts can be attributed to the preferential adsorption of oxygenate precursors and expulsion of deoxygenated intermediates benefiting from Lewis acid sites embedded in the MOF. The strong Br?nsted acidity of MIL-101-SO3H is contributed by both the -SO3H groups and the adsorbed H2O, which makes it a water-tolerant solid acid for durable PHDO processes. The simplicity of mechanical mixing of different heterogenous catalysts allows the modulation of the tandem catalysis system for optimization of the ultimate catalytic performance. This journal is

- Heterogeneous Hydroxyl-Directed Hydrogenation: Control of Diastereoselectivity through Bimetallic Surface Composition
-
Directed hydrogenation, in which product selectivity is dictated by the binding of an ancillary directing group on the substrate to the catalyst, is typically catalyzed by homogeneous Rh and Ir complexes. No heterogeneous catalyst has been able to achieve equivalently high directivity due to a lack of control over substrate binding orientation at the catalyst surface. In this work, we demonstrate that Pd-Cu bimetallic nanoparticles with both Pd and Cu atoms distributed across the surface are capable of high conversion and diastereoselectivity in the hydroxyl-directed hydrogenation reaction of terpinen-4-ol. We postulate that the OH directing group adsorbs to the more oxophilic Cu atom while the olefin and hydrogen bind to adjacent Pd atoms, thus enabling selective delivery of hydrogen to the olefin from the same face as the directing group with a 16:1 diastereomeric ratio.

- Multistep Engineering of Synergistic Catalysts in a Metal-Organic Framework for Tandem C-O Bond Cleavage
-
Cleavage of strong C-O bonds without breaking C-C/C-H bonds is a key step for catalytic conversion of renewable biomass to hydrocarbon feedstocks. Herein we report multistep sequential engineering of orthogonal Lewis acid and palladium nanoparticle (NP) catalysts in a metal-organic framework (MOF) built from (Al-OH)n secondary building units and a mixture of 2,2′-bipyridine-5,5′-dicarboxylate (dcbpy) and 1,4-benzenediacrylate (pdac) ligands (1) for tandem C-O bond cleavage. Ozonolysis of 1 selectively removed pdac ligands to generate Al2(OH)(OH2) sites, which were subsequently triflated with trimethylsilyl triflate to afford strongly Lewis acidic sites for dehydroalkoxylation. Coordination of Pd(MeCN)2Cl2 to dcbpy ligands followed by in situ reduction produced orthogonal Pd NP sites in 1-OTf-PdNP as the hydrogenation catalyst. The selective and precise transformation of 1 into 1-OTf-PdNP was characterized step by step using powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The hierarchical incorporation of orthogonal Lewis acid and Pd NP active sites endowed 1-OTf-PdNP with outstanding catalytic performance in apparent hydrogenolysis of etheric, alcoholic, and esteric C-O bonds to generate saturated alkanes via a tandem dehydroalkoxylation-hydrogenation process under relatively mild conditions. The reactivity of C-O bonds followed the trend of tertiary carbon > secondary carbon > primary carbon. Control experiments demonstrated the heterogeneous nature and recyclability of 1-OTf-PdNP and its superior catalytic activity over the homogeneous counterparts. Sequential engineering of multiple catalytic sites in MOFs thus presents a unique opportunity to address outstanding challenges in sustainable catalysis.

- Identification of an Asexual Reproduction Inducer of Phytopathogenic and Toxigenic Fusarium
-
Asexual and sexual reproduction are the most important biological events in the life cycle of phytopathogenic and toxigenic Fusarium and are responsible for disease epidemics. However, the signaling molecules which induce the asexual reproduction of Fusarium are unknown. Herein we describe the structure elucidation, including the absolute configuration, of Fusarium asexual reproduction inducer (FARI), a new sesquiterpene derivative, by spectroscopic analysis, total synthesis, and conidium-inducing assays of synthetic isomers. We have also uncovered the universality of FARI among Fusarium species. Moreover, a mechanism-of-action study suggested that the Gpmk1 and LaeA signaling pathways are required for conidium formation induced by FARI; conversely, the Mgv1 of mitogen-activated protein kinase is not involved in conidium formation. FARI exhibited conidium-inducing activity at an extremely low dose and high stereoselectivity, which may suggest the presence of a stereospecific target.

- Efficient hydro-deoxygenation of lignin derived phenolic compounds over bifunctional catalysts with optimized acid/metal interactions
-
Efficient hydro-deoxygenation (HDO) of lignin derived phenolic compounds was a challenging task due to the incompatibility of the phenolic feedstock and the current hydro-processing catalysts. In this paper, hydro-deoxygenation of lignin derived phenolic compounds over a series of bifunctional catalysts with different metal/acid interactions was firstly carried out. It was found that the distance between the acidic site and noble metal played an important role in the catalytic performance of phenolic hydro-deoxygenation. A highly stable bifunctional catalyst for hydro-deoxygenation of lignin derived phenolic compounds was obtained through simple selective deposition of Pt on alumina in a commonly used Al2O3-ZSM-5 nanocomposite. The bifunctional catalyst retained its complete deoxygenation capacity for more than 500 h. The catalyst can also be used for the HDO of various phenolic model compounds and real bio-oil derived from lignin. A correction of the generally accepted the closer the better criterion in metal/acid bifunctional catalysts when used in bio-oxygenate HDO was also discussed.

- Structural, electronic and catalytic properties of palladium nanoparticles supported on poly(ionic liquid)
-
The structural, electronic and support effect on palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) prepared by sputtering deposition and chemical reduction of a Pd(II) precursor in/on a poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) was investigated in the selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and dienes. Sputtering deposition generates naked NPs with a narrow size distribution (3.2–3.8 nm) that are predominantly composed of Pd(0) (85–100%). Conversely, chemical reduction produces PIL-covered NPs with almost twice the average size (6.6 nm) and only 15% Pd(0). Regard the catalytic performance, support composition (by ionic liquid (IL) addition or not) and NP location are decisive. The best activity and selectivity was obtained with imprinted Pd NPs on a PIL/IL mixture (D-MPIL.NTf2/IL-Pd catalyst). A kinetic investigation was conducted using 2-cyclohexen-1-one (CHN) and D-MPIL.NTf2/IL-Pd catalyst revealing that this reaction follows the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. Enthalpies obtaining from a Van't Hoff plot show that the adsorption of the CHN substrate on the surface of the PIL-Pd catalyst is an exothermic process (-9 kJ mol?1), whereas H2 adsorption occurs by an endothermic process (12 kJ mol?1). This distinct behavior is consistent with the rate determining step proposed, in which the independent adsorption of reagents is followed by the hydrogenation of a π-allyl intermediate on the catalyst surface.

- A general copper-based photoredox catalyst for organic synthesis: Scope, application in natural product synthesis and mechanistic insights
-
Organic transformations can broadly be classified into four categories including cationic, anionic, pericyclic and radical reactions. While the last category has been known for decades to provide remarkably efficient synthetic pathways, it has long been hampered by the need for toxic reagents, which considerably limited its impact on chemical synthesis. This situation has come to an end with the introduction of new concepts for the generation of radical species, photoredox catalysis – which simply relies on the use of a catalyst that can be activated upon visible light irradiation – certainly being the most efficient one. The state-of-the-art catalysts mostly rely on the use of ruthenium and iridium complexes and organic dyes, which still considerably limits their broad implementation in chemical processes: alternative readily available catalysts based on inexpensive, environmentally benign base metals are therefore strongly needed. Furthermore, expanding the toolbox of methods based on photoredox catalysis will facilitate the discovery of new light-mediated transformations. This article details the use of a simple copper complex which, upon activation with blue light, can initiate a broad range of radical reactions.

- Stereochemistry of the Menthyl Grignard Reagent: Generation, Composition, Dynamics, and Reactions with Electrophiles
-
Menthyl Grignard reagent 1 from either menthyl chloride (2) or neomenthyl chloride (3) consists of menthylmagnesium chloride (1a), neomenthylmagnesium chloride (1b), trans-p-menthane (4), 2-menthene (8), 3-menthene (9), and Wurtz coupling products including symmetrical bimenthyl 13. The diastereomeric ratio 1a/1b was determined in situ by 13C NMR or after D2O quenching by 2H NMR analysis. Hydrolysis of the C-Mg bond proceeds with retention of configuration at C-1. The kinetic ratio 1a/1b from Grignard reagent generation (dr 59:41 at 50 °C in THF) is close to the thermodynamic ratio (56:44 at 50 °C in THF). Carboxylation of 1 at -78 °C separates diastereomers 1a/b to give the anion of menthanecarboxylic acid (19) from 1a, which combines with unreactive 1b to give neomenthylmagnesium menthanecarboxylate (1bI). The kinetics of epimerization for the menthyl/neomenthylmagnesium system was analyzed (ΔH? = 98.5 kJ/mol, ΔS? = -113 J/mol·K for 1bI → 1aI). Reactions of 1 with phosphorus electrophiles proceed stereoconvergently at C-1 of 1a/b to give predominantly menthyl-configured substitution products: PCl3 and 2 equiv of 1 give Men2PCl (6), which hydrolyzes to dimenthylphosphine P-oxide (7), whereas Ph2PCl with 1 equiv of 1 gave P-menthyldiphenylphosphine oxide (27) after workup in air.

- Synthesis of mesoporous iridium nanosponge: A highly active, thermally stable and efficient olefin hydrogenation catalyst
-
Three dimensional porous structures offer high specific surface areas and large pore volumes, which enhance substrate diffusion within the porous structures and provide a large number of surface active sites. Such types of structures find applications in catalysis. Herein, we report a simple synthetic strategy for the preparation of iridium nanosponges by the capping agent dissolution method. An Ir@BNHx nanocomposite was prepared starting from different iridium precursors by a solid state reduction method using ammonia borane wherein iridium(0) nanoparticles are embedded in a BNHx polymer. Capping agent (here, the BNHx polymer) dissolution using water under ambient conditions resulted in the formation of a mesoporous iridium nanosponge. This iridium nanosponge exhibits a surface area of 33.5 m2 g-1. The iridium nanosponge was found to be catalytically active for hydrogenation of a variety of olefinic substrates including linear and cyclic alkenes and α,β-unsaturated esters under relatively mild conditions and exhibits high turnover frequencies. It was also found to exhibit much better catalytic activity as compared to other iridium based heterogeneous catalysts for olefin hydrogenation reactions. Additionally, catalyst recovery was achieved via simple filtration from the hydrogenation reaction mixture. The catalytically active surface area of iridium nanosponge was estimated using H2-temperature programmed desorption (TPD) experiments. Moreover, the catalyst was found to be thermally quite robust. The catalyst was recyclable over seven cycles of styrene hydrogenation and was found to be capable of hydrogenating 99% of styrene to ethyl benzene after seven cycles.

- Single-Site Cobalt Catalysts at New Zr8(μ2-O)8(μ2-OH)4 Metal-Organic Framework Nodes for Highly Active Hydrogenation of Alkenes, Imines, Carbonyls, and Heterocycles
-
We report here the synthesis of robust and porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), M-MTBC (M = Zr or Hf), constructed from the tetrahedral linker methane-tetrakis(p-biphenylcarboxylate) (MTBC) and two types of secondary building units (SBUs): cubic M8(μ2-O)8(μ2-OH)4 and octahedral M6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4. While the M6-SBU is isostructural with the 12-connected octahedral SBUs of UiO-type MOFs, the M8-SBU is composed of eight MIV ions in a cubic fashion linked by eight μ2-oxo and four μ2-OH groups. The metalation of Zr-MTBC SBUs with CoCl2, followed by treatment with NaBEt3H, afforded highly active and reusable solid Zr-MTBC-CoH catalysts for the hydrogenation of alkenes, imines, carbonyls, and heterocycles. Zr-MTBC-CoH was impressively tolerant of a range of functional groups and displayed high activity in the hydrogenation of tri- and tetra-substituted alkenes with TON > 8000 for the hydrogenation of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene. Our structural and spectroscopic studies show that site isolation of and open environments around the cobalt-hydride catalytic species at Zr8-SBUs are responsible for high catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of a wide range of challenging substrates. MOFs thus provide a novel platform for discovering and studying new single-site base-metal solid catalysts with enormous potential for sustainable chemical synthesis.

- Mechanisms into dehydroaromatization of bio-derived limonene to: P -cymene over Pd/HZSM-5 in the presence and absence of H2
-
The mechanisms of dehydroaromatization of limonene to p-cymene are intrinsically investigated over Pd/HZSM-5 under different N2/H2 atmospheres using the mathematical tool of Matlab. It is found that the dehydroaromatization reaction network starts with the isomerization step, and is followed by the sequential dehydrogenation in the presence of N2 or H2 at the selected system. The addition of hydrogen in the atmosphere would not change this reaction pathway, but leads to lower selectivity of p-cymene due to the accelerated hydrogenation rates on the double bonds. Besides, the additional hydrogen speeds up the overall reaction by facilitating the isomerization step on limonene while impeding its reverse reaction, as isomerization of limonene is proved to be the determining step of the whole dehydroaromatization reaction. Furthermore, the presence of hydrogen dramatically decreases the apparent and true activity energy of the target dehydroaromatization reaction and reduces the impact of temperatures to such processes compared to that with a N2 gas carrier.

- Metal-Organic Frameworks Stabilize Solution-Inaccessible Cobalt Catalysts for Highly Efficient Broad-Scope Organic Transformations
-
New and active earth-abundant metal catalysts are critically needed to replace precious metal-based catalysts for sustainable production of commodity and fine chemicals. We report here the design of highly robust, active, and reusable cobalt-bipyridine- and cobalt-phenanthroline-based metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts for alkene hydrogenation and hydroboration, aldehyde/ketone hydroboration, and arene C-H borylation. In alkene hydrogenation, the MOF catalysts tolerated a variety of functional groups and displayed unprecedentedly high turnover numbers of ~2.5 × 106 and turnover frequencies of ~1.1 × 105 h-1. Structural, computational, and spectroscopic studies show that site isolation of the highly reactive (bpy)Co(THF)2 species in the MOFs prevents intermolecular deactivation and stabilizes solution-inaccessible catalysts for broad-scope organic transformations. Computational, spectroscopic, and kinetic evidence further support a hitherto unknown (bpy?-)CoI(THF)2 ground state that coordinates to alkene and dihydrogen and then undergoing σ-complex-assisted metathesis to form (bpy)Co(alkyl)(H). Reductive elimination of alkane followed by alkene binding completes the catalytic cycle. MOFs thus provide a novel platform for discovering new base-metal molecular catalysts and exhibit enormous potential in sustainable chemical catalysis.

- A new approach for bio-jet fuel generation from palm oil and limonene in the absence of hydrogen
-
The traditional methodology includes a carbon-chain shortening strategy to produce bio-jet fuel from lipids via a two-stage process with hydrogen. Here, we propose a new solution using a carbon-chain filling strategy to convert C10 terpene and lipids to jet fuel ranged hydrocarbons with aromatic hydrocarbon ingredients in the absence of hydrogen.

- Supercritical fluid deposition of Ru nanoparticles onto SiO2 SBA-15 as a sustainable method to prepare selective hydrogenation catalysts
-
Ru nanoparticles were successfully deposited onto mesoporous SiO2 SBA-15 using supercritical CO2 (scCO2). The use of scCO2 favoured the metal dispersion and Ru nanoparticles uniformly distributed throughout the support were obtained. Different precursors and methodologies were employed: impregnation with Ru(tmhd)2(COD) in scCO2 at 80°C and 13.5 and 19.3 MPa and further reduction in H2/N2 at 400°C at low pressure, reactive deposition of Ru(tmhd)2(COD) with H2 in scCO2 at 150°C and reactive deposition of RuCl3·xH2O with ethanol in scCO2 at 150 and 200°C. The size of the particles was limited in one dimension by the pore size of the support. The metal loading varied with the methodology and experimental conditions from 0.9 to 7.4% Ru mol. These materials exhibited remarkable catalytic activity. The Ru/SiO2 SBA-15 materials prepared by reactive deposition with H2 in scCO2 were selective catalysts for the hydrogenation reactions of benzene and limonene, allowing the production of partly hydrogenated hydrocarbons that may serve as building blocks for more complex chemicals. scCO2 is shown to be a green solvent that allows the preparation of efficient heterogeneous catalysts to design sustainable processes. Furthermore, in the hydrogenation of limonene, scCO2 was also used as the solvent.

- Thermodynamically leveraged tandem catalysis for ester RC(O)O-R′ bond hydrogenolysis. scope and mechanism
-
Rapid and selective formal hydrogenolysis of aliphatic ester RC(O)O-R′ linkages is achieved by a tandem homogeneous metal triflate + supported palladium catalytic system. The triflate catalyzes the mildly exothermic, turnover-limiting O-R′ cleavage process, whereas the exothermic hydrogenation of the intermediate alkene further drives the overall reaction to completion.

- Synthesis and hydrogenation activity of iron dialkyl complexes with chiral bidentate phosphines
-
The activity of bis(phosphine) iron dialkyl complexes for the asymmetric hydrogenation of alkenes has been evaluated. High-throughput experimentation was used to identify suitable iron-phosphine combinations using the displacement of pyridine from py2Fe(CH2SiMe3)2 for precatalyst formation. Preparative-scale synthesis of a family of bis(phosphine) iron dialkyl complexes was also achieved using both ligand substitution and salt metathesis methods. Each of the isolated organometallic iron complexes was established as a tetrahedral and hence high-spin ferrous compound, as determined by M?ssbauer spectroscopy, magnetic measurements, and, in many cases, X-ray diffraction. One example containing a Josiphos-type ligand, (SL-J212-1)Fe(CH2SiMe3)2, proved more active than other isolated iron dialkyl precatalysts. Filtration experiments and the lack of observed enantioselectivity support dissociation of the phosphine ligand upon activation with dihydrogen and formation of catalytically active heterogeneous iron. The larger six-membered chelate is believed to reduce the coordination affinity of the phosphine for the iron center, enabling metal particle formation.

- Photocatalytic degradation of water taste and odour compounds in the presence of polyoxometalates and TiO2: Intermediates and degradation pathways
-
Geosmin (GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) are produced by several species of cyanobacteria and actinomycetes. These compounds can taint water and fish causing undesirable taste and odours. Studies have shown that GSM/MIB are resistant in standard water treatments. Polyoxometalates (POM) are efficient photocatalysts in the degradation and mineralization of a great variety of organic pollutants, presenting similar behaviour with the widely published titanium dioxide (TiO2). Photocatalytic degradation of GSM and MIB under UV-A light in the presence of a characteristic POM photocatalyst, SiW 12O404-, in aqueous solution has been studied and compared with the photodegradation by TiO2 suspensions. GSM and MIB are effectively degraded in the presence of both photocatalysts. Addition of OH radical scavengers (KBr and tertiary butyl alcohol, TBA) retards the photodegradation rates of both compounds, suggesting that photodegradation mechanism takes place via OH radicals. Intermediates identified using GC-MS in the case of GSM and MIB, are mainly identical in the presence of both photocatalysts, also suggesting a common reaction mechanism. Possible photocatalytic degradation pathway for both GSM and MIB is proposed.

- Rapid ether and alcohol C-O bond hydrogenolysis catalyzed by tandem high-valent metal triflate + supported Pd catalysts
-
The thermodynamically leveraged conversion of ethers and alcohols to saturated hydrocarbons is achieved efficiently with low loadings of homogeneous M(OTf)n + heterogeneous Pd tandem catalysts (M = transition metal; OTf = triflate; n = 4). For example, Hf(OTf)4 mediates rapid endothermic ether a? alcohol and alcohol a? alkene equilibria, while Pd/C catalyzes the subsequent, exothermic alkene hydrogenation. The relative C-O cleavage rates scale as 3 > 2 > 1. The reaction scope extends to efficient conversion of biomass-derived ethers, such as THF derivatives, to the corresponding alkanes.

- High catalytic performance of palladium nanoparticles supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes in alkene hydrogenation reactions
-
The synthesis of Pd nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and the cataytic performance of the resulting material (Pd-NPs/MWCNTs) in hydrogenation reactions are presented. Facile preparation approaches based on the decomposition of Pd precursors in the presence of MWCNTs lead to homogeneous dispersions of supported Pd-NPs with an average size of 4 nm and Pd loads of about 12%. The catalytic performance of this material was evaluated in hydrogenation reactions of α,β-unsaturated ketones, alkenes, cyclic di-, tri- and tetraenes, aromatic compounds, terpenes and terpenoids, resulting in very high activity offering short reaction times, high conversion rates, notable selectivity, and acceptable recyclability under mild conditions.

- Ligand effect on the catalytic activity of ruthenium nanoparticles in ionic liquids
-
Suspensions of small sized (1-2.5 nm) ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) have been obtained by decomposition, under H2, of (η4-1,5- cyclooctadiene)(η6-1,3,5-cyclooctatriene)ruthenium(0), [Ru(COD)(COT)], in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [C1C4Im][NTf 2], and in the presence of different compounds acting as ligands: C8H17NH2, PPhH2, PPh2H and H2O. Previous and new liquid NMR experiments showed that the ligands are coordinated or in the proximity to the surface of the RuNPs. Herein is reported how the ligand affects the catalytic performance (activity and selectivity) compared to a ligand-free system of RuNPs, when RuNPs in [C 1C4Im][NTf2] are used as catalysts for the hydrogenation of various unsaturated compounds (1,3-cyclohexadiene, limonene and styrene). It has been observed that σ-donor ligands increase the activity of the nanoparticles, contrarily to π-acceptor ones.

- Preparation and utilization of perillyl acetate
-
Perillyl acetate is a fragrance compound that was prepared by the reaction of β-pinenoxide with acetic anhydride and using acetic acid as an acid catalyst. Several selected catalysts were tested (homogenous: phosphoric acid, boric acid, acetic acid, and citric acid; heterogeneous: zeolite USY, SSA, and montmorillonite K-10) and the reaction conditions optimized for this reaction. The yield 78.7 % of perillyl acetate was obtained. Mayol (4- isopropylcyclohexylmethanol), a valuable fragrance compound, was further obtained by a two-step synthesis from perillyl acetate. Firstly, perillyl acetate was saponified to perillyl alcohol. The yield of alcohol was 94.4 %. The last step of the entire preparation was the hydrogenation of perillyl alcohol to Mayol. The yield of the desired product of this reaction was 94.6 %. Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012.

- Thiotolerant Ir/SiO2-Al2O3 bifunctional catalysts: Effect of metal-acid site balance on tetralin hydroconversion
-
The hydroconversion of tetralin over iridium nanoparticles supported on amorphous silica-alumina (ASA) has been investigated in a continuous high-pressure gas-phase micro-reactor in the presence of H2S. In order to tune the Ir particle size, the bifunctional Ir/ASA catalysts have been submitted to sintering treatments. The samples have been characterized by HRTEM and XPS. From careful analysis of tetralin conversion products by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC-MS) and NMR, compound families have been unambiguously distinguished. Hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, (saturated and aromatic) ring-contraction products, and (saturated and aromatic) one-ring-opening products are formed, without significant cracking. The catalysts exhibit stable activity in the presence of sulfur. As the mean particle size increases from 1.5 to 8 nm, the ring-opening/contraction selectivity increases dramatically. This effect is related to an increase of the acid/metal site ratio.

An efficient method to effect chemoselective reduction of alkenes (including trisubstituted olefins) possessing various sensitive and/or reducible groups such as acetals, allylic alcohols, benzyl ethers, epoxides, esters, halides, nitriles, and sulfones is reported. The reduction is facile at 0 °C in aqueous N,N-dimethylacetamide containing sodium borohydride in the presence of 15 mol % ruthenium(III) chloride. Regioselective reduction of dienes is also feasible if the double bonds are sufficiently different in their structural environment.

- Pt- and Pd-catalysed limonene hydrogenation in high-density carbon dioxide
-
This paper discusses the development of catalytic (Pt, Pd) hydrogenation in high-pressure CO2 to convert limonene into valuable chemicals. It was noticed that varying the catalyst results in product regioselectivity. Platinum as catalyst favours the formation of p-menthane stereoisomers in equimolar quantities whereas palladium as catalyst furnishes trans-p-menthane and cis-p-menthane in 2:1 ratio. These results are in agreement with hydrogenation mechanisms for Pt- and Pd-catalysed reactions. Platinum is a more active catalyst than palladium, but higher activity results in lower chemical stability of the catalyst. Palladium as catalyst usually catalyses limonene isomerisation in the first stage of the process. Pressure tuning of the processes affects termination of the reaction. The flow rate of the reaction mixture through the stationary catalyst bed affects the composition of products; partially hydrogenated limonene is obtained at low flow rates and completely hydrogenated products at high flow rates.

- Catalytic activity of the VIII group metals in the hydrogenation and isomerization of α- And β-pinenes
-
The kinetic regularities of the liquid-phase hydrogenation and isomerization of α- and β-pinenes over the Pd/C, Ru/C, Rh/C, Pt/C, and Ir/C catalysts were studied at temperatures ranging from 20 to 100 °C and at hydrogen pressures of 1-11 bar using n-octane as the solvent. The hydrogenation and isomerization of α- and β-pinenes occur simultaneously on the Ru/C, Rh/C, Pt/C, and Ir/C catalysts, and the reaction mixture contains the products of double bond hydrogenation, viz., cis- and trans-pinanes. The Ru, Rh, and Pd metals have a higher catalytic activity in β-pinene isomerization than Ir and Pt. Among the VIII Group metals studied, the Pd-based catalyst has the highest catalytic activity in double bond isomerization of α- and β-pinenes. The general scheme of the mechanism of hydrogenation and isomerization of α- and β-pinenes on the Pd/C catalyst was proposed.

A novel one-pot reaction has been developed for the reduction of aldehydes, ketones and primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols into their corresponding alkyl function. This is also the first reported method which can efficiently reduce primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols, without affecting carbon-carbon double bonds, into their corresponding alkyl function in high yields. The reduction utilises either diethylsilane or n-butylsilane as the reducing agent in the presence of the Lewis acid catalyst tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane.
