[EN] Small gold nanoparticles in the presence of O2 are able to cleave CAH bonds of non-activated arenes and
facilitate catalytic formation of biaryls under mild conditions. This procedure avoids the common
requirement ...

[EN] We report the encapsulation of platinum species in highly siliceous chabazite (CHA) crystallized in the presence of N,N,N-trimethyl-1-adamantammonium and a thiol-stabilized Pt complex. When compared to Pt/SiO2 or ...
[EN] Nitrones were synthesized in good yields directly from nitro aliphatic compounds, aldehydes, and H2 using highly dispersed gold nanoparticles on titania. The high selectivity for nitrone synthesis contrasts with the ...
Nitrones were synthesized in high yields directly from nitro compounds, aldehydes, and H-2 using carbon-decorated platinum nanoparticles. The high selectivity for nitrone synthesis contrasts that of common supported metal ...
[EN] The behavior of single Pt atoms and small Pt clusters was investigated for high-temperature oxidations. The high stability of these molecular sites in CHA is a key to intrinsic structure-performance descriptions of ...
[EN] Modulating the structures of subnanometric metal clusters at the atomic level is a great synthetic and characterization challenge in catalysis. Here, we show how the catalytic properties of subnanometric platinum ...

[EN] The performance of a supported catalyst is influenced by the size and structure of the metal species, the ligands bonded to the metal, and the support. Resolution of these effects has been lacking because of the lack ...
Yardimci, Dicle; Serna Merino, Pedro Manuel; Gates, Bruce C.(Wiley, 2013-01)
[EN] The preparation of dinuclear rhodium clusters and their use as catalysts is challenging because these clusters are unstable, evolving readily into species with higher nuclearities. We now present a novel synthetic ...
