TL;DR: It is reported here that supported gold-palladium nanoparticles on carbon or TiO2 are active for the oxidation of the primary carbon-hydrogen bonds in toluene and related molecules, giving high selectivities to benzyl benzoate under mild solvent-free conditions.
Abstract: Selective oxidation of primary carbon-hydrogen bonds with oxygen is of crucial importance for the sustainable exploitation of available feedstocks. To date, heterogeneous catalysts have either shown low activity and/or selectivity or have required activated oxygen donors. We report here that supported gold-palladium (Au-Pd) nanoparticles on carbon or TiO2 are active for the oxidation of the primary carbon-hydrogen bonds in toluene and related molecules, giving high selectivities to benzyl benzoate under mild solvent-free conditions. Differences between the catalytic activity of the Au-Pd nanoparticles on carbon and TiO2 supports are rationalized in terms of the particle/support wetting behavior and the availability of exposed corner/edge sites.

TL;DR: In this paper, the elastic stress field equations for blunt cracks are derived and presented in a form equivalent to the usual sharp crack tip stress fields, which are employed in analyzing a dissolution model for the arrest of stress corrosion cracking by crack tip blunting.
Abstract: The elastic stress field equations for blunt cracks are derived and presented in a form equivalent to the usual sharp crack tip stress fields. These stress field equations are employed in analyzing a dissolution model for the arrest of stress corrosion cracking by crack tip blunting, which is often observed with the arrest of stress corrosion cracks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the similarities and differences in structural characteristics and physico-chemical properties between titania-silica mixed and supported oxides are emphasized, and the generation of new catalytic active sites either on the silica surface or in the matrix is discussed with respect to the formation of Ti-O-Si bonds and the local structure.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of the molecular structure and reactivity information of supported vanadium oxide catalysts is presented, which provides new fundamental insights into the catalytic properties of surface vanadia species during hydrocarbon oxidation reactions.
Abstract: Supported vanadium oxide catalysts, containing surface vanadia species on oxide supports, are extensively employed as catalysts for many hydrocarbon oxidation reactions. This paper discusses the current fundamental information available about the structure and reactivity of surface vanadia species on oxide supports: monolayer surface coverage, stability of the surface vanadia monolayer, oxidation state of the surface vanadia species, molecular structures of the surface vanadia species (as a function of environment and catalyst composition), acidity of the surface vanadia species and reactivity of the surface vanadia species. Comparison of the molecular structure and reactivity information provides new fundamental insights into the catalytic properties of surface vanadia species during hydrocarbon oxidation reactions: (1) the role of terminal VO, bridging VOV and bridging VO-support bonds, (2) the number of surface vanadia sites required, (3) the influence of metal oxide additives, (4) the influence of surface acidic and basic sites, (5) the influence of preparation methods and (6) the influence of the specific oxide support phase. The unique physical and chemical characteristics of supported vanadia catalysts, compared to other supported metal oxide catalysts, for hydrocarbon oxidation reactions are also discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of recommendations on consumer decision making during online shopping experiences was examined and it was found that consumers use the mere availability of peer recommendations as a decision-making heuristic, irrespective of the peer recommender's personal characteristics.
