Bimetallic (Pd-Cu, Pd-Sn) nanoparticles supported on structured fibrous carbons (activated carbon fibers and carbon nanofibers grown on sintered metal fibers) were tested in nitrate removal of natural polluted water by hydrogen (a batch and continuous mode ...
The increasing progress in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology requires more versatile synthetic strategies for the generation of libraries of active compounds and theirs analogues. A wide range of biologically active natural and synthetic compounds c ...
This review provides an overview of the recent achievements in catalytic process development for alkyne hydrogenations. It underlines the necessity of simultaneous optimization over different length scales from molecular/nanoscale of active phase, up-to ma ...
Treatment of a DMA solution of anilide 1 with a catalytic amount of palladium acetate (0.025 equiv) and XPhos (0.05 equiv) in the presence of potassium carbonate (2.0 equiv) at 100 C afforded dihydroquinolin-2-ones spiro-fused to dihydrofuranyl, indolinyl, ...
Several techniques for fabricating functionalized graphene sheet (FGS) electrodes were tested for catalytic performance in dye-sensitized solar cells. By using ethylcellulose as a sacrificial binder, and partially thermolyzing it, we were able to prep. ele ...
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are grown on PAN-based carbon fibers by means of catalytic chemical vapor deposition technique. By using catalytic thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon, CNTs can be grown in the temperature range of 650750 degrees C. However, carbon ...
Mono-N-arylation of benzamidines 1 with aryl boronic acids 2 was effectively achieved in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cu(OAc)2 and NaOPiv under mild aerobic conditions. Combining this step with an intramolecular direct CH bond functionalization, c ...
Achieving control of the nanoscale structure of binary alloys is of paramount importance for the design of novel materials with specific properties, leading to, for example, improved reaction rates and selectivity in catalysis, tailored magnetic behavior i ...
In the presence of a catalytic amount of chiral BINOL-derived phosphoric acid (TRIP), reaction of an α-isocyanoacetate 1, an aldehyde 2, an aniline 3 followed by addition of a toluene solution of α,β-unsaturated acyl chloride 5 afforded oxa-bridged tricycl ...
The relationship between catalytic response and properties of the active phase is difficult to establish in classical heterogeneous catalysis due to the number of variables that can affect catalytic performance. Ultrahigh-vacuum surface methods applied to ...
