    Recent Advances in Catalytic Hydrosilylations: Developments beyond Traditional Platinum Catalysts
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2021) de Almeida, Leandro Duarte; Wang, Hongli; Junge, Kathrin; Cui, Xinjiang; Beller, Matthias
    Hydrosilylation reactions, which allow the addition of Si−H to C=C/C≡C bonds, are typically catalyzed by homogeneous noble metal catalysts (Pt, Rh, Ir, and Ru). Although excellent activity and selectivity can be obtained, the price, purification, and metal residues of these precious catalysts are problems in the silicone industry. Thus, a strong interest in more sustainable catalysts and for more economic processes exists. In this respect, recently disclosed hydrosilylations using catalysts based on earth-abundant transition metals, for example, Fe, Co, Ni, and Mn, and heterogeneous catalysts (supported nanoparticles and single-atom sites) are noteworthy. This minireview describes the recent advances in this field. © 2020 The Authors. Published by Wiley-VCH GmbH

    Synthesis of a molecularly defined single-active site heterogeneous catalyst for selective oxidation of N-heterocycles
    ([London] : Nature Publishing Group UK, 2018) Zhang, Yujing; Pang, Shaofeng; Wei, Zhihong; Jiao, Haijun; Dai, Xingchao; Wang, Hongli; Shi, Feng
    Generally, a homogeneous catalyst exhibits good activity and defined active sites but it is difficult to recycle. Meanwhile, a heterogeneous catalyst can easily be reused but its active site is difficult to reveal. It is interesting to bridge the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis via controllable construction of a heterogeneous catalyst containing defined active sites. Here, we report that a molecularly defined, single-active site heterogeneous catalyst has been designed and prepared via the oxidative polymerization of maleimide derivatives. These polymaleimide derivatives can be active catalysts for the selective oxidation of heterocyclic compounds to quinoline and indole via the recycling of -C=O and -C-OH groups, which was confirmed by tracing the reaction with GC-MS using maleimide as the catalyst and by FT-IR analysis with polymaleimide as the catalyst. These results might promote the development of heterogeneous catalysts with molecularly defined single active sites exhibiting a comparable activity to homogeneous catalysts.
