Heterogeneous bimetallic catalysts have broad applications in industrial processes, but
achieving a fundamental understanding on the nature of the active sites in bimetallic …

Single atom catalysis (SAC) is a recent discipline of heterogeneous catalysis for which a
single atom on a surface is able to carry out various catalytic reactions. A kind of revolution …

The broad challenges of energy and environment have become a main focus of research
efforts to develop more active and selective catalytic systems for key chemical …

There is growing interest in the design of bimetallic cooperative complexes, which have
emerged due to their potential for bond activation and catalysis, a feature widely exploited …

The cycloaddition of CO 2 to epoxides to afford cyclic organic carbonates is an increasingly
relevant non-reductive strategy to convert CO 2 to useful products able to serve as high …

Activation of alkanes can be achieved with different types of catalysts, spanning over
enzymes, homogeneous and heterogeneous metal catalysts. Though a tremendous amount …

Long-chain alkanes are abundant feedstocks supplied by natural resources and chemical
industry. Specially, normal long-chain alkanes are primary products from Fischer—Tropsch …

A novel heterobimetallic tantalum/iridium hydrido complex,[{Ta (CH2 t Bu) 3}{IrH2 (Cp*)}] 1,
featuring a very short metal–metal bond, has been isolated through an original alkane …

Propane metathesis reactions over group 2–5 metal hydrides were investigated. Among the
tested metal hydrides, TiH2 exhibited the highest butane yield as a metathesis reaction …

Surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) is an established concept, associated with
specific tools for the characterization of a well-defined single-site catalysts. Primarily …
