High yields of valued benzaldehyde and benzyl benzoate are obtained in one pot starting
from benzyl alcohol using oxygen as only oxidant under mild conditions (2 bar O2, 100° C) …

Olefin metathesis, a powerful synthetic method with numerous practical applications, can be
improved by developing heterogeneous catalysts that can be recycled. In this study, a single …

The de-halogenation of highly concentrated halo-organic compounds using Zero Valent Iron
entrapped in silica matrices as a catalyst was investigated. This study aimed to evaluate the …

Vibrational dynamics were measured by IR pump–probe spectroscopy and two-dimensional
IR spectroscopy for triruthenium dodecacarbonyl and the undecacarbonyl hydride that forms …

In the present review, heterogeneous catalysis by silica and silica doped with metals or their
salts is discussed to generate a brief overview of selective organic syntheses from the …

SiliaCat Au, a nanoscale gold sol–gel hybrid material, was employed in the selective
oxidation of alcohols under solvent‐free conditions with oxygen as the primary oxidant. The …

This thesis examines a variety of vibrational probe-containing molecules such as triphenyl
hydrides, CO 2, and metal carbonyls with the goal of better understanding the dynamics for …

The classical stoichiometric oxidation of alcohols is an important tool in contemporary
organic chemistry. However, it still requires huge modifications in order to comply with the …
