Asymmetric azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition on chiral metal surfaces

Harald Brune, Roland Hany, Roland Widmer, Michael Bauer, Samuel Thomas Stolz

Achieving fundamental understanding of enantioselective heterogeneous synthesis is marred by the permanent presence of multitudinous arrangements of catalytically active sites in real catalysts. In this study, we address this issue by using structurally co ...

Thermal activation and aging of a V2O3/WO3-TiO2 catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3

Davide Ferri, Oliver Kröcher, Adrian Marberger, Rob Jeremiah G. Nuguid

Real-world vanadium-based catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3 are occasionally exposed to high temperatures, which can induce catalyst aging. In this work, a 2.0 wt% V2O5/WO3-TiO2 catalyst based on commercial WO3-TiO2 was l ...
