TL;DR: The I-ALD-CAT tool design allowed for systematic comparison of the reactivity of different grafted zinc sites as mentioned in this paper, and showed that zinc surface saturation with Zn II sites (∼75% of a monolayer) results in facile zinc agglomeration and catalyst deactivation under reaction conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a stable and structurally well-defined titanium alkoxide catalyst supported on a metal-organic-framework (MOF) of UiO-67 topology was synthesized and fully characterized by a variety of analytical and spectroscopic techniques, including BET, TGA, PXRD, XAS, DRIFT, SEM and DFT computations.

TL;DR: In this article, three-coordinate alkylaluminum sites were developed on a catechol-containing porous organic polymer support (CatPOP A2B1), which can hydrogenate and isomerize a range of mono-and disubstituted alkenes and alkynes under mild conditions.
Abstract: Three-coordinate alkylaluminum sites were developed on a catechol-containing porous organic polymer support (CatPOP A2B1). The CatPOP-based alkylaluminum sites were characterized by solid-state attenuated total reflectance IR spectroscopy, 1H and 27Al magic-angle-spinning NMR spectroscopy, pair-distribution function X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The low-coordinate organoaluminum sites can hydrogenate and isomerize a range of mono- and disubstituted alkenes and alkynes under mild conditions (75–100 °C, 5–14 bar H2, 20 h). Results of experimental and computational mechanistic investigations suggest a heterolytic mechanism for the observed hydrogenation–isomerization activity.

TL;DR: A well-defined, isolated, single-site organovanadium catalyst on SiO2 [(SiO2)V(Mes)(THF)] was synthesized via surface organometallic chemistry, and fully characterized using a combination of analytical and spectroscopic techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the use of ether solvents (1,3-dioxolane (DOL), 1,2-dimethoxyethane, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DEGDME)) as the basis for redox electrolytes containing a lithium ion supporting salt (LiBF 4 or LiTFSI) and 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1,4-bis(2-methoxy-benzene (DBBB) as an active material.
