TL;DR: For the hydroformylation of alkenes, developing ligand-free heterogeneous catalysts is a research focus because of both fundamental research interests and potential commercial applications as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physicochemical properties of Fe/P-SiO2 catalysts and their catalytic performance for the HDO of anisole were studied, and it was shown that the addition of P into SiO2 reduced the sites for stepwise impregnated Fe species and FeOx particles could be isolated and prevented from aggregating by the optimized contents of P.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed understanding of the intrinsic mechanism is still lacking, by evaluating the reductive amination of butyraldehyde and the hydrogenation reaction of secondary imine on various metal catalysts, the competitive hydrogenation reactions of primary imine and secondary imines are proven to be the key factors determining primary amine selectivity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a LaCoSiHx material that has more electronegativity and a lower work function than traditional supported Co-based catalysts was proposed, which is attributed to the marked electron transfer from catalysts into the antibonding orbital of CO2 and CO.

TL;DR: In this paper, the in situ Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) results showed that aldehydes can be generated on CoGa IMC/SiO 2 by heterogeneous hydroformylation reaction without the formation of Co carbonyl species.
