The widespread crisis of plastic pollution demands discovery of new and sustainable
approaches to degrade robust plastics such as nylons. Using a green and sustainable …

The preparation of primary amines attracts huge attention in the molecular synthetic
community. Indeed, amines play a crucial role in chemistry as they are important …

The selective catalytic C–N bond cleavage of amides into value-added amine products is a
desirable but challenging transformation. Molecules containing iminodibenzyl motifs are …

The development of efficient hydrogen release and storage processes to provide
environmentally friendly hydrogen solutions for mobile energy storage systems (MESS) …

Microkinetic modeling is a computational tool that allows simulating the evolution of the
concentration of catalytically relevant species with time, providing a description of the …

We have recently reported the previously unknown synthesis of thioesters by coupling thiols
and alcohols (or aldehydes) with liberation of H2, as well as the reverse hydrogenation of …

The hydrogenation of amides and other less electrophilic carbonyl derivatives with an N–
C═ O functionality requires significant improvements in scope and catalytic activity to be a …

Amine functionalized silica is an excellent sorbent for CO 2 and when combined with Pd it
has been demonstrated to selectively hydrogenate chemisorbed CO 2 to methanol at a …

This contribution described the chemoselective reduction of secondary carboxamides to
aldimines. To perform such challenging transformation, we reported a catalyzed …

Iron hydrides supported by a pincer ligand of the type HN (CH2CH2PR2) 2 (RPNHP) are
versatile hydrogenation catalysts. Previous efforts have focused on using CO as an …
