[EN] Nitroderivatives are transformed to cyclohexylanilines at room temperature in good yields and selectivity via a hydrogenation-amine coupling cascade reaction using Pd nanoparticles on carbon as a catalyst and a Bronsted acid.

[EN] The Pt-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkynes is the procedure of choice to obtain vinylsilanes, and is claimed to be the most relevant application of Pt in organic synthesis. More than half a century after its discovery, ...

[EN] Ionic liquids are composed of an organic cation and a highly delocalized perfluorinated anion, which remain tight to each other and neutral across the extended liquid framework. Here we show that n-alkanes in millimolar ...

[EN] The generation of a carbocation with an acid depends not only on the acid strength but also on the ability of the counteranion to stabilize the positive charge left behind. Here we report that despite their relatively ...

[ES] En la presente tesis doctoral se ha llevado a cabo la búsqueda de catalizadores heterogéneos para sustituir catalizadores homogéneos de Fe en reacciones químicas de interés industrial y/o sintético. En primer lugar, ...

[EN] Cyanosilylation of carbonylic compounds has a great interest in organic chemistry. In the present work ketones cyanosilylation is performed catalyzed by cerium oxide in mild conditions. A kinetic study was carried ...

[ES] En esta tesis se han estudiado la síntesis y aplicación de clústeres y átomos metálicos aislados de Pd y Pt. Clústeres y átomos aislados han sido sintetizados siguiendo nuevas metodologías en disolución, sin utilizar ...

En la presente tesis doctoral se ha llevado a cabo un estudio de los clústeres y átomos aislados de platino como catalizadores para reacciones químicas de interés en la química industrial. En la reacción de hidrosililación ...

[EN] The synthesis and reactivity of single metal atoms in a low-valence state bound to just water, rather than to organic ligands or surfaces, is a major experimental challenge. Herein, we show a gram-scale wet synthesis ...

[EN] The low-temperature water-gas shift reaction (WGSR, CO+H2O H-2+CO2) is considered a very promising reaction -candidate for fuel cells- despite an efficient and robust catalyst is still desirable. One of the more ...
