TL;DR: In this article, a pincer-supported earth-abundant manganese(I) dicarbonyl complexes behave as effective catalysts for the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of a wide range of alcohols to esters under base-free conditions.

TL;DR: Combination of physicochemical and molecular modeling methods showed that FQ and RQ favor intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the 4-aminoquinoline NH group and the terminal amino group in the absence of water, suggesting that this structure may enhance its passage through the membrane.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of water on the stability of Mo and CoMo sulfide catalysts in hydrodeoxygenation of phenolic compounds was investigated and it was shown that large amounts of water at reaction temperature lead to the exchange of an important fraction of edge sulfur atoms on non-promoted MoS2 catalysts, hence changing the nature of the active sites.

TL;DR: In this article, a periodic density functional theory study of the vacancy formation mechanism on the [10−10] and the [−1010] edges of MoS2 nanocrystallites that are the active phases in hydrodesulfurization catalysis is reported.

TL;DR: In this paper, density-functional calculations of dibenzothiophene and dimethyldibenzethiophene over different molybdenum sulfide surfaces representing the active sites of the simplest hydrodesulfurization catalysts were performed.
