Microkinetic Molecular Volcano Plots for Enhanced Catalyst Selectivity and Activity Predictions
Matthew Wodrich, Shubhajit Das, Rubén Laplaza Solanas
Molecular volcano plots, which facilitate the rapid prediction of the activity and selectivity of prospective catalysts, have emerged as powerful tools for computational catalysis. Here, we integrate microkinetic modeling into the volcano plot framework to ...
Amer Chemical Soc2024Heterogeneous catalysis via light-heat dual activation: A path to the breakthrough in C1 chemistry
A hybrid photothermal catalytic system, which combines both the photochemical (light) and thermal (heat) activation pathways over a bifunctional catalyst, has demonstrated remarkable levels of reaction activity and selectivity when compared with individual ...
Cell Press2024Theory-guided development of homogeneous catalysts for the reduction of CO2 to formate, formaldehyde, and methanol derivatives
Matthew Wodrich, Shubhajit Das, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Hanna Hinrika Cramer
The stepwise catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formic acid, formaldehyde, and methanol opens non-fossil pathways to important platform chemicals. The present article aims at identifying molecular control parameters to steer the selectivity to ...
2023Visible-light driven water oxidation and oxygen production at soft interfaces
Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Jorge Gustavo Uranga, Julieta Soledad Riva, Sara Natalia Moya Betancourt
The visible light driven water oxidation reaction (WOR) by the organic electron acceptor 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyano-quinodimethane (TCNQF(4)) was studied at the water|butyronitrile interface. The WOR was performed at neutral pH, and without any ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2022Enantio- and diastereoselective construction of vicinal C(sp(3)) centres via nickel-catalysed hydroalkylation of alkenes
Xile Hu, Chao Fan, Srikrishna Bera
In drug discovery, the proportion of aliphatic carbons (C(sp(3))) and the presence of chiral carbons in organic molecules are positively correlated to their chance of clinical success. Although methods exist for the synthesis of chiral C(sp(3))-rich molecu ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Mapping Catalyst‐Solvent Interplay in Competing Carboamination/Cyclopropanation Reactions
Nicolai Cramer, Matthew Wodrich, Miyeon Chang, Simone Gallarati
Group 9 metals, in particular Rh III complexes with cyclopentadienyl ligands, are competent C–H activation catalysts. Recently, a Cp*Rh III catalyzed reaction of alkenes with N -enoxyphthalimides showed divergent outcome based on the solvent, with carboami ...
2022Propelling the hydrogen economy: from chemical storage and delivery to utilization in biomass conversion
Since H2 is a non-polluting, inexhaustible, efficient, and sustainable energy carrier, it has been forecast to become one of the major carriers of energy in the future and is also essential in the production of feedstock chemicals derived from renewable ca ...
EPFL2021Intermolecular oxidative amination of unactivated alkenes by dual photoredox and copper catalysis
Oxidative amination of alkenes via amidyl radical addition is potentially an efficient method to generate allylic amines, which are versatile synthetic intermediates to bioactive compounds and organic materials. Here by combining photochemical generation o ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2021Construction of Functional Superhydrophobic Biochars as Hydrogen Transfer Catalysts for Dehydrogenation of N-Heterocycles
To endow metal-free materials with the high catalytic activity that is typically featured by a metal-based catalyst is yet a constant pursuit in the field of catalytic chemistry. In this work, novel functional biochars (DCNs) were prepared from wheat straw ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021High-valence metals improve oxygen evolution reaction performance by modulating 3dmetal oxidation cycle energetics
Likai Zheng, Yang Li, Yelin Hu, Jun Li, Ye Zhang, Ziyun Wang, Bo Zhang, Zhen Cao
Multimetal oxyhydroxides have recently been reported that outperform noble metal catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In such 3d-metal-based catalysts, the oxidation cycle of 3dmetals has been posited to act as the OER thermodynamic-limiting proc ...
