Reversible Dihydrogen Activation and Hydride Transfer by a Uranium Nitride Complex

Marinella Mazzanti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Marta Falcone, Lok Nga Poon

Abstract: Cleavage of dihydrogen is an important step in the industrial and enzymatic transformation of N2 into ammonia. The reversible cleavage of dihydrogen was achieved under mild conditions (room temperature and 1 atmosphere of H2) by the molecular ura ...

Base-Free Transfer Hydrogenation with an Ionic-Liquid-Supported Ruthenium eta(6)-Arene Bis(pyrazolyl)methane Catalyst

Paul Joseph Dyson, Francisco Sepulveda, Andrew Douglas Phillips

Ruthenium complexes of the type [RuCl(eta(6)-arene)-(NN)]X (X = BF4 or BPh4) featuring an eta(6)-arene ligand modified with an imidazolium ring and incorporating the bis(azo) chelating (NN) ligands 2-hydroxyphenylbis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl) methane or 2- ...

Structured Non-Noble Metal Catalysts for the Liquid-Phase Reduction of Nitroaromatics

Oliver Anthony Beswick

The industrial production of aromatic amines, essential intermediates for the synthesis of several drugs, dyes, pigments and agrochemicals, requires the use of heterogeneous catalysis. These molecules were formerly produced by the Béchamp reduction, a non- ...

Functionalised metal-organic frameworks: a novel approach to stabilising single metal atoms

Elsa Callini

We have investigated the potential of metal-organic frameworks for immobilising single atoms of transition metals using a model system of Pd supported on NH2-MIL-101(Cr). Our transmission electron microscopy and in situ Raman spectroscopy results give evid ...

Highly dispersed cobalt oxides nanoparticles on activated carbon fibres as efficient structured catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of m-nitrostyrene

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lioubov Kiwi, Oliver Anthony Beswick, Alexander Parastaev

The facile preparation of structured catalysts featuring highly-dispersed non-precious metal (Fe, Ni, Co) oxide nanoparticles stabilized within a super-microporous network of activated carbon fibres (ACF) is described. The catalyst morphology was controlle ...

Nickel pincer model of the active site of lactate racemase involves ligand participation in hydride transfer

Rosario Scopelliti, Xile Hu, Matthew Wodrich, Tao Xu

Pincer complexes are widely applied in homogeneous catalysis. However, only very recently has the first pincer complex been discovered in the active site of a metalloenzyme, namely, lactate racemase. Here, we report a synthetic model of the active site of ...

"Palladium-Catalyzed Diamination of Alkynes in Synthesis of Tetracycles" and "Copper-Catalyzed Cyanoalkylation of Unactivated Alkenes"

Minh Tu Ha

The thesis deals with the development of transition metal-catalyzed difunctionalization of alkenes and alkynes, which can be categorized into two major topics: (1) palladium-catalyzed diamination of alkynes for the synthesis of tetracycles; (2) copper-cata ...

Investigation of Hydrogenation of Formic Acid to Methanol using H2 or Formic Acid as a Hydrogen Source

Gabor Laurenczy, Katerina Stefania Sordakis

Production of methanol (MeOH) from CO2 is strongly desired as a key chemical feedstock and a fuel. However, the conventional process requires elevated temperature and pressure, and high temperature restricts the productivity of MeOH due to equilibrium limi ...

Chemoselective three-phase hydrogenation of an Ombrabulin nitro-stilbene intermediate in a continuous-flow mobile platform

Lioubov Kiwi, Charline Berguerand

The chemoselective three-phase hydrogenation of an Ombrabulinintermediate based on a nitro-stilbene framework was used as a case study for the formation of the primary amine without affecting the double bond. Two catalysts were tested: Pt nanoparticles sup ...

Photochemistry of 1- and 2-Naphthols and their Water Clusters: The Role of 1ππ*(La) Mediated Hydrogen Transfer to Carbon Atoms

Antonio Prlj

The computational analysis of isomer- and conformer- dependent photochemistry of 1- and 2-naphthols and their microsolvated water clusters is motivated by their very different excited state reactivity. We present evidence that 1- and 2-naphthol follow dist ...
