Recyclable Pd0.5Ru0.5–PVP catalyst showed higher activity than monometallic Pd or Ru catalyst for the hydrogenation of quinoline. Furthermore, Pd0.5Ru0.5–PVP was able to hydrogenate different arenes.
Selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde to hydrocinnamaldehyde is captivating due to its industrial relevance. Herein, two-step synthesis method was adopted to develop oxygen vacancies in Pd@ZrO2 catalysts. The oxygen vacancies were...
The isolable chelating bis(N-heterocyclic silylenyl)-substituted terphenyl ligand [SiII(Terp)SiII] as well as its bis(phosphine) analogue [PIII(Terp)PIII] have been synthesised and fully characterised. Their reaction with Ni(cod)2 (cod = cycloacta-1,5-diene) affords the...
