“…Research on the influence of sulfur on the activity and selectivity of catalysis mainly focuses on several certain reactions, such as hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, steam reforming, oxidation, and so forth. − Furthermore, sulfur poisoning has always been studied in homogeneous catalysis and heterogeneous nanocatalysis or alloy catalysis, ,, while it is very rarely reported in heterogeneous single-metal-site catalysis. Heterogeneous single-metal-site catalysts (HSMSCs) possess the highest atom utilization and remarkable activity similar to or beyond that of homogeneous catalysis as well as the merit of easy separation and high stability in heterogeneous catalysis. , As a bridge between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, HSMSCs have received a lot of research attention and have been successfully applied in various kinds of reactions, such as the olefin hydrocarboxylation reaction, which is a simple and promising way to directly produce organic carboxylic acids. − As important bulk chemicals, carboxylic acids are widely applied in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, plastics, polymers, and other manufacturing fields. , Simultaneously, carboxylic acids are versatile intermediates for the preparation of a vast array of derivatives, such as esters, ketones, amides, and alcohols. − Therefore, research on the influence of sulfur species on HSMSCs in hydrocarboxylation not only diversifies its theory but also possesses significance in industrial applications.…”
