    Towards a methanol economy based on homogeneous catalysis: methanol to H2 and CO2 to methanol
    (Cambridge : Soc., 2015) Alberico, E.; Nielsen, M.
    The possibility to implement both the exhaustive dehydrogenation of aqueous methanol to hydrogen and CO2 and the reverse reaction, the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol and water, may pave the way to a methanol based economy as part of a promising renewable energy system. Recently, homogeneous catalytic systems have been reported which are able to promote either one or the other of the two reactions under mild conditions. Here, we review and discuss these developments.

    Selective reductive amination of aldehydes from nitro compounds catalyzed by molybdenum sulfide clusters
    (Cambridge : RSC, 2017) Pedrajas, E.; Sorribes, I.; Junge, K.; Beller, M.; Llusar, R.
    Secondary amines are selectively obtained from low value starting materials using hydrogen and a non-noble metal-based catalyst. The reductive amination of aldehydes from nitroarenes or nitroalkanes is efficiently catalyzed by a well-defined diamino molybdenum sulfide cluster in a one-pot homogeneous reaction. The integrity of the molecular cluster catalyst is preserved along the process.
