- ItemHighly active and selective photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO using molecular-defined cyclopentadienone iron complexes(Cambridge : Soc., 2015) Rosas-Hernández, Alonso; Alsabeh, Pamela G.; Barsch, Enrico; Junge, Hernrik; Ludwig, Ralf; Beller, MatthiasHerein, we report highly active (cyclopentadienone)iron–tricarbonyl complexes for CO2 photoreduction using visible light with an Ir complex as photosensitizer and TEOA as electron/proton donor. Turnover numbers (TON) of ca. 600 (1 h) with initial turnover frequencies (TOF) up to 22.2 min−1 were observed. Operando FTIR measurements allowed for the proposal of a plausible mechanism for catalyst activation.
- ItemThe effect of supported MoOX structures on the reaction pathways of propene formation in the metathesis of ethylene and 2-butene(Cambridge : RSC, 2014) Hahn, T.; Kondratenko, E.V.; Linke, D.The kind of surface MoOX structures on Al2O3–SiO2 was found to determine propene selectivity in the metathesis of ethylene and 2-butene. Compared to isolated tetrahedral MoOX species, their polymerized octahedral counterparts show significantly lower activity for isomerisation of 2- to 1-butene thus hindering non-selective metathesis of these butenes. In addition, they reveal higher ability to engage ethylene in propene formation.
- ItemHydrophilic non-precious metal nitrogen-doped carbon electrocatalysts for enhanced efficiency in oxygen reduction reaction(Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Hao, Guang-Ping; Sahraie, Nastaran Ranjbar; Zhang, Qiang; Krause, Simon; Oschatz, Martin; Bachmatiuk, Alicja; Strasser, Peter; Kaskel, StefanExploring the role of surface hydrophilicity of non-precious metal N-doped carbon electrocatalysts in electrocatalysis is challenging. Herein we discover an ultra-hydrophilic non-precious carbon electrocatalyst, showing enhanced catalysis efficiency on both gravimetric and areal basis for oxygen reduction reaction due to a high dispersion of active centres.
- ItemEnantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of γ-amino alcohols(Cambridge : Soc., 2015) Verkade, Jorge M. M.; Quaedflieg, Peter J. L. M.; Verzijl, Gerard K. M.; Lefort, Laurent; van Delft, Floris L.; de Vries, Johannes G.; Rutjes, Floris P. J. T.The γ-amino alcohol structural motif is often encountered in drugs and natural products. We developed two complementary catalytic diastereoselective methods for the synthesis of N-PMP-protected γ-amino alcohols from the corresponding ketones. The anti-products were obtained through Ir-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation, the syn-products via Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation.
- ItemNickel cobalt oxide hollow nanosponges as advanced electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction(Cambridge : Soc., 2015) Zhu, Chengzhou; Wen, Dan; Leubner, Susanne; Oschatz, Martin; Liu, Wei; Holzschuh, Matthias; Simon, Frank; Kaskel, Stefan; Eychmüller, AlexanderA class of novel nickel cobalt oxide hollow nanosponges were synthesized through a sodium borohydride reduction strategy. Due to their porous and hollow nanostructures, and synergetic effects between their components, the optimized nickel cobalt oxide nanosponges exhibited excellent catalytic activity towards oxygen evolution reaction.
- ItemSteering carbon dioxide reduction toward C–C coupling using copper electrodes modified with porous molecular films([London] : Nature Publishing Group UK, 2023) Zhao, Siqi; Christensen, Oliver; Sun, Zhaozong; Liang, Hongqing; Bagger, Alexander; Torbensen, Kristian; Nazari, Pegah; Lauritsen, Jeppe Vang; Pedersen, Steen Uttrup; Rossmeisl, Jan; Daasbjerg, KimCopper offers unique capability as catalyst for multicarbon compounds production in the electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction. In lieu of conventional catalysis alloying with other elements, copper can be modified with organic molecules to regulate product distribution. Here, we systematically study to which extent the carbon dioxide reduction is affected by film thickness and porosity. On a polycrystalline copper electrode, immobilization of porous bipyridine-based films of varying thicknesses is shown to result in almost an order of magnitude enhancement of the intrinsic current density pertaining to ethylene formation while multicarbon products selectivity increases from 9.7 to 61.9%. In contrast, the total current density remains mostly unaffected by the modification once it is normalized with respect to the electrochemical active surface area. Supported by a microkinetic model, we propose that porous and thick films increase both local carbon monoxide partial pressure and the carbon monoxide surface coverage by retaining in situ generated carbon monoxide. This reroutes the reaction pathway toward multicarbon products by enhancing carbon–carbon coupling. Our study highlights the significance of customizing the molecular film structure to improve the selectivity of copper catalysts for carbon dioxide reduction reaction.
- ItemAn 8-fold parallel reactor system for combinatorial catalysis research(New York : Hindawi, 2006) Stoll, N.; Allwardt, A.; Dingerdissen, U.; Thurow, K.Increasing economic globalization and mounting time and cost pressure on the development of new raw materials for the chemical industry as well as materials and environmental engineering constantly raise the demands on technologies to be used. Parallelization, miniaturization, and automation are the main concepts involved in increasing the rate of chemical and biological experimentation. Copyright © 2006 Norbert Stoll et al.
- ItemEarth-abundant photocatalytic systems for the visible-light-driven reduction of CO2 to CO(Cambridge : RSC, 2017) Rosas-Hernández, Alonso; Steinlechner, Christoph; Junge, Henrik; Beller, MatthiasHerein, we report a highly selective photocatalytic system, based on an in situ copper photosensitizer and an iron catalyst, for the reduction of CO2 to CO. Turnover numbers (TON) up to 487 (5 h) with selectivities up to 99% and ΦCO = 13.3% were observed. Stern-Volmer analysis allowed us to establish a reductive quenching mechanism between the Cu PS and electron donor.
