The catalytic hydrogenation of carboxylic acid derivatives represents an atom-efficient and clean reduction methodology in organic chemistry. More specifically, the selective hydrogenation of nitriles ...

Controlling the crystal phase of cobalt nanoparticles leads to exceptional catalytic performance in hydrogenation processes, scientists report. Produced via an innovative hydrosilane-assisted ...

When it comes to catalytic activity, more isn’t always better. Overly active catalysts may be hard to control; finding the sweet spot can be tricky. That job may be easier now thanks to a study ...

Supported catalysts are systems in which the active catalytic materials, such as metals, are dispersed on a solid support ...

Platinum is a useful as a catalyst for industrial chemistry. UC Davis researchers have developed a new technique to trap clusters of a few platinum atoms (white arrow on right) in nanometer-scale ...

A catalyst that helps convert alkynes into alkenes could offer a more efficient and greener way to achieve the tricky industrial transformation (ACS Catal. 2024, DOI: 10.1021/acscatal.4c00310). The ...

Researchers have discovered a way to make the widely used chemical process of hydrogenation more environmentally friendly -- and less expensive. Researchers from McGill University, RIKEN (The ...

video: UJ researchers take a novel step to change hydrogenation into a safe, low energy process. They use a very stable three phase emulsion to transform a toxic waste product into valuable feedstock.

Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) coupled to high-resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry (MS) was used to study the reactivity of a (β-amino alcohol)(arene) RuCl transfer hydrogénation ...

A variety of hydrogen sources (e.g., water, alcohols, formic acid, etc.) can be used in the reported SACs for TH. They are also capable of performing a variety of hydrogenation reactions. In a ...

A research team led by Dr. Kee Young Koo from the Hydrogen Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research ...
