    Rhodium-catalyzed borylative carbon monoxide reduction to gem-diborylmethane
    (Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2021) Xua, Jian-Xing; Wu, Fu-Peng; Wu, Xiao-Feng
    Herein, we developed a rhodium-catalyzed reduction of CO with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) under atmospheric pressure of CO with silane as the hydride source, gem-diborylmethane [H2C(Bpin)2] as a versatile and fundamental C1 compound can be formed. Notably, this is the first example on transition metal-catalyzed borylation of CO. © 2020 The Author(s)

    In situ grown palladium nanoparticles on polyester fabric as easy-separable and recyclable catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura reaction
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2021) Xu, Tiefeng; Lu, Panting; Wohlrab, Sebastian; Chen, Wenxing; Springer, Armin; Wu, Xiao-Feng; Lu, Wangyang
    Palladium nanoparticles supported on low-melting polyester (Pd/LMPET) fabric were prepared through a microwave irradiation assisted method. In this way, in situ growth of Pd nanoparticles onto an easy to handle material was initiated and proceeded. The results of the characterization revealed that the palladium nanoparticles were well-dispersed on the surfaces of the polyester fibers. The Pd/LMPET fabrics were then employed in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. They exhibited excellent catalytic activity in ethanol/water under air atmosphere at 50 °C. Importantly, the Pd/LMPET fabrics could be separated from reaction mixture conveniently and they can still maintain good activity after 8 cycles without Pd leaching. © 2021 The Authors
