Benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde oxidation on MnOx clusters: Unraveling atomistic features

Perovskite LaSrCoFeO6 Oxide Enabled Visible Light Catalytic Aerobic Epoxidation of Styrene

“…(3) To establish a kinetic model, it is assumed that all reactions are irreversible and the amount of solvent does not change [Equations (1), (2)]. (4) Although a side product of benzoic acid was inevitably produced through further oxidation of benzaldehyde [38] [Equation (3)], this reaction is neglected since no acid products were detected according to the GC results.…”

“… Since molecular oxygen bubbled with a relative high flow of 16 mL min −1 during the reaction process, it is reasonable to assume that the concentration of ROS does not change. According to the proposal of many previous studies, [16,37] styrene was firstly converted to intermediate I , which was subsequently oxidized to epoxide and aldehyde. To establish a kinetic model, it is assumed that all reactions are irreversible and the amount of solvent does not change [Equations (1), (2)]. Although a side product of benzoic acid was inevitably produced through further oxidation of benzaldehyde [38] [Equation (3)], this reaction is neglected since no acid products were detected according to the GC results. …”

“…Basis of the reported studies [5,7,37,42] and above discussions, a plausible visible-light catalytic epoxidation of styrene over LSCF visible-light catalyst was proposed as Scheme 1. Firstly, photo-induced separation of h + and e À was occurred on the LSCF catalysts (step 1), where h + was stabilized by DMF molecules [38] and e À was capture by the adsorbed oxygen species to form O 2 *À species [24] (step 2). Then, the O 2 *À species were rapidly converted to 1 O 2 species after combining with h + (step 3).…”

Computational investigation of isoeugenol transformations on a platinum cluster – I: Direct deoxygenation to propylcyclohexane

“…Understanding catalytic processes at the atomic level is a fundamental goal of chemistry, and catalysis on supported metal cluster (SMC) systems play a role that is becoming more and more important in the modern chemical industry [6]. Indeed, following the recent developments of the synthetic methods aimed at obtaining small metal cluster systems, the related catalysis approaches have rapidly become a subfield of heterogeneous catalysis and much effort is at present dedicated to the creation of specifically tailored SMC catalysts showing high efficiency and selectivity [7][8][9][10][11]. Stabilized on solid supports, such as metal oxides, silica, various forms of carbon, zeolites, and others [12][13][14][15] SMC are promising catalytic systems both for academic and industrial applications, being either able to catalyze reactions otherwise difficult to occur or to be separated quite easily at the end of the process [16].…”
