Hydrogen gas is a storable form of chemical energy that could complement intermittent renewable energy conversion. One of the main disadvantages of hydrogen gas arises from its low density, and therefore, efficient handling and storage methods are key fact ...
Hydroamidation of olefins constitutes an ideal, atom-efficient method to prepare carboxylic amides from easily available olefins, CO, and amines. So far, aliphatic amines are not suitable for these transformations. Here, we present a ligand- and additive-f ...
The iron-catalyzed dehydrogenation of formic acid has been studied both experimentally and mechanistically. The most active catalysts were generated in situ from cationic Fe-II/Fe-III precursors and tris[2-(diphenylphosphino)ethyl]phosphine (1, PP3). In co ...
Core-shell nanocatalysts are attractive due to their versatility and stability. Here, we describe cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated within graphitic shells prepared via the pyrolysis of a cationic poly-ionic liquid (PIL) with a cobalt(II) chloride anion. T ...

The equilibrium position in formic acid/amine–CO2 systems has been examined as a function of pressure and tem- perature under isochoric conditions. The homogeneous ruthe- nium(II)-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane catalyst was active in both reactions, that ...
