[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] The assumption that oxidative addition is the key step during the cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides has led to the development of a plethora of increasingly complex metal catalysts, thereby obviating in many ...

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] Group 15 elements in zero oxidation state (P, As, Sb and Bi), also called pnictogens, are rarely used in catalysis due to the difficulties associated in preparing well-structured and stable materials. Here, we report ...

[EN] The carbonyl-olefin metathesis reaction has experienced significant advances in the last seven years with new catalysts and reaction protocols. However, most of these procedures involve soluble catalysts for intramolecular ...

[EN] The chemical bulk reductive covalent functionalization of thin-layer black phosphorus (BP) using BP intercalation compounds has been developed. Through effective reductive activation, covalent functionalization of the ...

Insoluble precious metal chlorides in polymeric form (i.e., PtCl2, PdCl2, AuCl, RhCl3) are commonly used as catalysts for a plethora of organic reactions in solution. Here we show that only the minor soluble fraction of ...
