This review gives an overview of current trends in the investigation of small guest molecules,
confined in neat and functionalized mesoporous silica materials by a combination of solid …

During the past two decades, new insights have driven the development and optimization of
aminated materials as aldol condensation catalysts. Amines, either primary or secondary …

Computational molecular science (CMS) is a core science area that underpins a broad
spectrum of disciplines, including chemistry and biochemistry, catalysis, materials science …

Catalysts incorporating acid and base cooperative interactions can more efficiently catalyze
the aldol and nitroaldol reactions than single component catalysts since cooperative …

Immobilisation of organocatalysts onto solid supports represents a very promising solution to
tackle their low productivity by enabling their reuse. Herein, the use of NMR relaxation …

3D printing of materials with active functional groups can provide custom-designed
structures that promote chemical conversions. Herein, catalytically active architectures were …

Free silanol groups are known to promote the activity of aminated silica. In this work the
effect of the silanol‐to‐amine ratio on the aldol condensation of 4‐nitrobenzaldehyde and …

A highly efficient water‐tolerant, solid‐base catalyst for the self‐condensation of biomass‐
derived methyl ketones to jet‐diesel fuel precursors was developed by grafting site‐isolated …

The acid–base pairing and fabrication method was herein employed to construct acid–base
bifunctional heterogeneous catalysts. The boronic acid group was introduced into primary …

The reusability of methylaminopropyl active sites grafted on mesoporous amorphous silica,
either with cooperative silanol groups or trimethylsilated, was assessed in the aldol reaction …
