Small molecule asymmetric catalysts are often described as being “good” or “bad” but to date there has been no way of comparing catalyst efficiency quantitatively. We define a simple formula, Asymmetric Catalyst Efficiency (ACE), that allows for such a comparison. We propose that a catalyst is more efficient if fewer atoms are utilised to give a product in a required enantiomeric excess. We illustrate this concept by analysing several well-known asymmetric catalytic chemical reactions carried out in academic laboratories, and compare small molecule catalysts with enzymes. We conclude that ACE is a useful descriptor for the comparison of diverse catalytic systems. It is also noteworthy that, despite the relatively short period of investigation into small molecule catalysts, they are competitive with enzymes with regards to this measure of catalytic efficiency.

ABSTRACTChemical reactions of metals and strongly interacting alloys such as Cu-Mn, Ni-Ti, Ni-Hf and Ni-Zr with oxygen and hydrogen play important roles in the preparation, activation, and regeneration of many important heterogeneous catalytic systems involving supported and unsupported metals and alloys. Recent advances in the understanding of metal and alloy oxidation is bringing new insight into the reactive design and activation of bi- and multi-metallic catalysts. By surface studies of oxidation, thermal annealing and reduction of selected alloys and their thin films and reaction layers and products we have been able to delineate the factors which are most important to the oxide formation processes and the oxide reduction processes. Reaction models developed from these results are permitting the design of new catalyst systems and providing long sought understanding to explain specific aspects of well established metallic catalysts.

: Ultrasonication, nowadays, is well-regarded as an effective green tool in implementing a plethora of organic transformations. The last decade has seen quite useful applications of ultrasound irradiation in synthetic organic chemistry. Ultrasound has already come out as a unique technique in green chemistry practice, for its inherent properties of minimizing wastes and reducing energy and time, thereby increasing the product yields with higher purities under milder reaction conditions. The present review summarizes ultrasound-promoted useful organic transformations involving both carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom (N, O, S) bond-forming reactions in the absence or presence of varying catalytic systems, reported during the period 2016-2020.

<div><div><div><p>The ability to forge difficult chemical bonds through catalysis has transformed society on all fronts, from feeding our ever-growing populations to increasing our life-expectancies through the synthesis of new drugs. However, developing new chemical reactions and catalytic systems is a tedious task that requires tremendous discovery and optimization efforts. Over the past decade, advances in machine learning have revolutionized a whole new way to approach data- intensive problems, and many of these developments have started to enter chemistry. However, similar progress in the field of homogenous catalysis are only in their infancy. In this article, we want to outline our vision for the future of catalyst design and the role of machine learning to navigate this maze.</p></div></div></div>
