TL;DR: In this article, N-doped ordered mesoporous carbons were used as supports to immobilize small-sized Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs), which provided a unique platform to investigate the influence of metal nanoparticle size, mesostructural properties, and N-functionalized supports on the selective hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone, an important intermediate in the production of nylon 6 and nylon 66 in the chemical industry.

TL;DR: In this article, the reaction temperature, carbon dioxide pressure, effects of different metallic complexes and the amount of immobilized ionic liquid were investigated, and the optimum reaction conditions were 110°C and 1.5 MPa.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of highly dispersed and versatile bimetallic nanocatalysts derived from layer double hydroxides (LDHs) precursors were fabricated and used for the selective hydrogenation of furfural to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) and FOL.

TL;DR: This review intends to present a comprehensive study of recycling strategies of organometallic catalysts to serve as a modest spur to induce other scientists' further contributions in the fields of catalyst recycling and sustainable catalysis.

TL;DR: The coupling of carbon dioxide and mono-substituted terminal epoxides or cyclohexene oxide to form cyclic carbonates under a Ni complex catalyst system without using additional organic solvents was achieved in excellent selectivity and TOF.
