Journal ArticleDOI
Mn(III)(salen)-catalyzed synthesis of cyclic organic carbonates from propylene and styrene oxide in “supercritical” CO2
TL;DR: In this article, various homogeneous and immobilized manganese-salen complexes were synthesized and tested as catalysts for the formation of cyclic organic carbonates from two liquid epoxides (propylene oxide and styrene oxide) and CO2, which served as reactant and solvent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monolayers and double layers of vanadium pentoxide on different carriers: Preparation, characterization and catalytic activities
TL;DR: In this paper, vanadyl triisobutoxide with surface OH groups were used to immobilize mono and double layers of V 2 O 5 on Al 2 O 3, SiO 2, MgO, and TiO 2 supports.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insight into the structure of supported palladium catalysts during the total oxidation of methane
TL;DR: The combination of in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction and on-line catalytic data provided insight into the structure-performance relationship of a flame-made Pd/ZrO(2) catalyst during the total oxidation of methane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidic or Metallic Palladium: Which Is the Active Phase in Pd-Catalyzed Aerobic Alcohol Oxidation?
TL;DR: In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy combined with on-line catalytic measurements using FT-IR spectroscopic unequivocally identified that metallic palladium is the more active phase in the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol than palladium oxide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reflections on chiral metal surfaces and their potential for catalysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of applying chirality to a metal surface is surveyed and an attempt is made to assess their potential for heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis, using the enantioselective hydrogenation of ketopantolactone over cinchona-modified platinum as an example.
