Monodisperse nickel-nanoparticles for stereo- and chemoselective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes

Here, we report the use of monosaccharides for the preparation of novel nickel nanoparticles (NP), which constitute selective hydrogenation catalysts. For example, immobilization of fructose and Ni(OAc)2 on silica and subsequent pyrolysis under inert atmosphere produced graphitic shells encapsulated Ni-NP with uniform size and distribution. Interestingly, fructose acts as structure controlling compound to generate specific graphitic layers and the formation of monodisperse NP. The resulting stable and reusable catalysts allow for stereo- and chemoselective semihydrogenation of functionalized and structurally diverse alkynes in high yields and selectivity. © 2019 The Author(s)
Homopolymerization of ethylene, 1-hexene, styrene and copolymerization of styrene with 1,3-cyclohexadiene using (η5- tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)dimethylsilyl(N-Ar')amido-TiCl2/MAO (Ar'=6-(2-(diethylboryl)phenyl)pyrid-2-yl, biphen-3-yl)

The propensity of a half-sandwich (η55- tetramethylcyclopentadienyl) dimethylsilylamido TiIV-based catalyst bearing an auxiliary diethylboryl-protected pyridyl moiety (Ti-8), activated by methylaluminoxane (MAO) to homopolymerize α-olefins such as ethylene, 1-hexene and styrene as well as to copolymerize styrene with 1,3-cyclohexadiene is described. The reactivity of Ti-8 was investigated in comparison to a 6-(2-(diethylboryl)phenyl)pyrid-2-yl-free analogue (Ti-3).
