[EN] The engagement in tandem of well-known organic reactions such as the Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction, nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions, enables the synthesis of otherwise difficult ...

[EN] 2,5-Dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene is a readily available and easily managable compound, whose symmetric and polymethylated dienic structure should be prone to engage in cross-metathesis reactions with other alkenes, but this ...

En la presente tesis doctoral se ha realizado un estudio sobre las especies catalíticamente activas en reacciones de formación de enlace carbono-carbono y carbono-heteroátomo catalizadas por oro, paladio y cobre. En ...

[EN] Allylic alcohol epoxidation and dehydrogenation reactivity is distinguished when VO(acac)(2) is used in solution or anchored in a metal-organic framework (MOF). The chemical mechanism depends on the electronic profile ...

Gold complexes and salts decompose to catalytically active 3¿5 atom gold clusters during the one-pot acylation¿hydration of propargyl alcohols. Kinetic and spectroscopic studies show that released ligands and counteranions ...

[EN] The reactive nature of carbenes can be modulated, and ultimately reversed, by receiving additional electron density from a metal. Here, it is shown that Au nanoparticles (NPs) generate an electron-rich carbene on ...

[EN] The use of bimetallic nanoparticles as catalysts in complex organic synthesis is rare, despite the widespread use of these materials in thermal C-1 chemistry and electrocatalysis. Here we show that intimate RuPt ...

[EN] The combination of well-defined Fe3+ isolated single-metal atoms and Ag2 subnanometer metal clusters within the channels of a metal¿organic framework (MOF) is reported and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction ...

The mechanism of alkyne homocoupling over gold nanoparticles and clusters, isolated and supported on CeO2, has been theoretically investigated by means of periodic DFT calculations. The theoretical study indicates that ...

[EN] Propiolates cyclotrimerize in the presence of catalytic amounts of gold nanoparticles to give aryl benzoates in high yields and with turnover frequencies of thousands per hour. Types of alkynes other than propiolates ...
