A facile impregnation method has been successfully applied for synthesis of a cubical Co3O4 supported Au nanocomposites, which leads to the excellent catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol with a high turn over frequency of 9.83 min−1.

Background: Polycarboxylic acids are of interest as simple mimics for cellulase enzyme catalyzed depolymerization of cellulose. In this study, DFT calculations were used to investigate the effect of structure on dicarboxylic acid organo-catalyzed hydrolysis of cellulose model compound D-cellobiose to D-glucose. Methods: Binding energy of the complex formed between D-cellobiose and acid (Ebind), as well as glycosidic oxygen to dicarboxylic acid closest acidic H distance were studied as key parameters affecting the turn over frequency of hydrolysis in water. Result: α-D-cellobiose - dicarboxylic acid catalyst down face approach showed high Ebind values for five of the six acids studied; indicating the favorability of down face approach. Maleic, cis-1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic, and phthalic acids with the highest catalytic activities showed glycosidic oxygen to dicarboxylic acid acidic H distances 3.5-3.6 Å in the preferred configuration. Conclusion: The high catalytic activities of these acids may be due to the rigid structure, where acid groups are held in a fixed geometry.

CO hydrogenation has been studied on cobalt foils as model catalysts for Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis. The effect of pretreatment (number of calcinations and different reduction times) for cobalt foil catalysts at 220 °C, 1 bar, and H2/CO = 3 has been studied in a microreactor. The foils were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the catalytic activity of the cobalt foil increases with the number of pretreatments. The mechanism is likely an increase in the available cobalt surface area from progressively deeper oxidation of the foil, supported by surface roughness detected by SEM. The highest FT activity was obtained using a reduction time of only 5 min (compared to 1 and 30 min). Prolonged reduction caused the sintering of cobalt crystallites, while too short of a reduction time led to incomplete reduction and small crystallites susceptible to low turn-over frequency from structure sensitivity. Larger crystals from longer reduction times gave increased selectivity to heavier components. The paraffin/olefin ratio increased with the increasing number of pretreatments due to olefin hydrogenation favored by enhanced cobalt site density. From the results, it is suggested that olefin hydrogenation is not structure sensitive, and that mass transfer limitations may occur depending on the pretreatment procedure. Produced water did not influence the results for the low conversions experienced in the present study (<6%).

The reduction of ketones through homogeneous transfer hydrogenation catalyzed by transition metals is one of the most important routes for obtaining alcohols from carbonyl compounds. The interest of this method increases when opportune catalytic precursors are able to perform the transformation in an asymmetric fashion, generating enantiomerically enriched chiral alcohols. This reaction has been extensively studied in terms of catalysts and variety of substrates. A large amount of information about the possible mechanisms is available nowadays, which has been of high importance for the development of systems with excellent outcomes in terms of conversion, enantioselectivity and Turn Over Frequency. On the other side, many mechanistic aspects are still unclear, especially for those catalytic precursors which have shown only moderate performances in transfer hydeogenation. This is the case of neutral [RuCl2(η6-arene)(P)] and cationic [Rh(PP)2]X (X = anion; P and PP = mono- and bidentate phosphine, respectively) complexes. Herein, a summary of the known information about the Transfer Hydrogenation catalyzed by these complexes is provided with a continuous focus on the more relevant mechanistic features.

A novel single-site catalyst was prepared from N-pheneyldiethanolamine and titanium tetrachloride and characterized using spectroscopic methods such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and Infra Red (IR) spectroscopy. It was prepared insitu and used to polymerize ethylene along with methylaluminoxane (MAO) as co-catalyst. The turnover frequency for ethylene polymerization was found to be 350 g and 550g polymer/mol catalyst/h for 1 bar and at 2 bar respectively. As the turn over frequency at the studied reaction conditions is good, the present N-pheneyldiethanolamine-based catalyst is a good single-site catalyst for olefin polymerization

Recent experiments indicate that the first yield point of micron-sized metals exhibits significant statistical scatter as well as strong dependence on the specimen size. In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are carried out to investigate the onset of shear deformation in a small block of material, using an embedded atom potential for the intermetallic Ni 3 Al alloy. Incipient plasticity in the form of homogeneous dislocation generation is observed to occur at atomic sites with interatomic displacements approaching one-half of the Shockley partial Burgers vector. From the distribution function of the interatomic displacements observed in the MD simulations, the probability of a general material volume surviving under given loading conditions is predicted. The survival probability is then calculated for several situations, including homogeneous deformation and nanoindentation, to predict the critical load for incipient plasticity to occur in these situations. The predicted results are compared to micro-pillar compression and nanoindentation experiments on Ni 3 Al available in the literature.
