Solvents play a critical role in “greening” synthetic chemistry, and this is also true in catalytic
organic synthesis. This review attempts to summarize the progress made in the past a few …

Hydrofomylation is an important industrial process for aldehyde production which follows the
atom-economy principle. In this homogeneous process, the separation and subsequent …

The adsorption and co-adsorption of CO and H2 at different coverages on p (4× 4) Ru
(0001) have been computed using periodic density functional theory (GGA-RPBE) and …

There are two main disciplines in catalysis research--homogeneous and heterogeneous
catalysis. This is due to the fact that the catalyst is either in the same phase (homogeneous …

Rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of acyclic monoterpenic compounds, ie, linalool and β-
citronellene, was studied in toluene and ethanol solutions in the presence of PPh 3 or P (Oot …

The rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of acyclic terpenic compounds, ie, β-citronellene,
linalool and nerolidol, was performed in a water/toluene biphasic system. The addition of the …

Today, the increasing global population and the rising consumption of fossil resources for
energy and material use are important issues for research activities in the field of …

The rapidly growing population and increased energy consumption are leading to the
depletion of non-renewable sources, thus posing a great threat of resource unavailability to …

The hydroformylation of linalool using [Rh (COD)(OAc)] 2 as a catalyst precursor in the
presence of triphenylphosphine or various diphosphines leads mainly to a mixture of cis and …

Periodic density functional theory (RPBE) computation has been used to assess dissociative
adsorption of H 2 O and CO 2 on the clean and O-pre-covered Ru (11− 21) and Ru (20− 21) …
