    Cobalt Single-Atom Catalysts with High Stability for Selective Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2020) Li, Xiang; Surkus, Annette-Enrica; Rabeah, Jabor; Anwar, Muhammad; Dastigir, Sarim; Junge, Henrik; Brückner, Angelika; Beller, Matthias
    Metal–organic framework (MOF)-derived Co-N-C catalysts with isolated single cobalt atoms have been synthesized and compared with cobalt nanoparticles for formic acid dehydrogenation. The atomically dispersed Co-N-C catalyst achieves superior activity, better acid resistance, and improved long-term stability compared with nanoparticles synthesized by a similar route. High-angle annular dark-field–scanning transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, and X-ray absorption fine structure characterizations reveal the formation of CoIINx centers as active sites. The optimal low-cost catalyst is a promising candidate for liquid H2 generation. © 2020 The Authors. Published by Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.

    Practical Catalytic Cleavage of C(sp3)−C(sp3) Bonds in Amines
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2019) Li, Wu; Liu, Weiping; Leonard, David K.; Rabeah, Jabor; Junge, Kathrin; Brgckner, Angelika; Beller, Matthias
    The selective cleavage of thermodynamically stable C(sp3)−C(sp3) single bonds is rare compared to their ubiquitous formation. Herein, we describe a general methodology for such transformations using homogeneous copper-based catalysts in the presence of air. The utility of this novel methodology is demonstrated for Cα−Cβ bond scission in >70 amines with excellent functional group tolerance. This transformation establishes tertiary amines as a general synthon for amides and provides valuable possibilities for their scalable functionalization in, for example, natural products and bioactive molecules. © 2019 The Authors.
