Many industrial catalysts contain isolated metal sites on the surface of oxide supports.
Although such catalysts have been used in a broad range of processes for more than 40 …

The goal of this review is to present some aspects of the use of a test reaction, ie, methanol
oxidation, as a tool to characterize oxidation catalysts. The selectivity pattern and the …

The controlled preparation of heterogeneous catalysts is a gentle art, and various
procedures are at the disposal of chemists to elaborate efficiently supported catalysts. 1 …

Periodic mesoporous silicas (PMSs) give enormous stimulus to the field of nanostructured
organic− inorganic composite materials, opening new horizons for selective organic …

This review deals with the applications of photoluminescence techniques to the study of
solid surfaces in relation to their properties in adsorption, catalysis, and photocatalysis. After …

In this article we attempted to review the key issues relevant to tremendous oxidation activity
of supported Au catalysts. We described in detail newly developed Au catalysts, remarkably …

Synthetically usefulamounts of solvated metal atoms can be prepared by metal evaporation
and low-temperature solvent trapping. When these solvates are warmed metal atom …

In this review we provide an overview of the potential of synchrotron radiation techniques to
understand the structural and electronic properties of coordination compounds. Besides the …

The open trough and row Mo (112) surface serves as substrate for the epitaxial growth of
MoO2. XPS, UPS and STM studies of the oxygen adsorption allow to monitor step-by-step …

Because of the availability of well-defined nanoporous silicas, possessing (controllable)
pore diameters of 30 Å to ca. 500 Å, bulky organometallic species may be readily …
