The chemical industry relies on catalytic processes, which involve mainly heterogeneous
catalysts because they offer many advantages over their homogeneous counterparts such …

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 field of Surface Organometallic Chemistry (SOMC) aims to blend the positive attributes
of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Significant insight into heterogeneous …

This critical review describes the reactivity of heterogeneous catalysts from the point of view
of four simple, but essential for Chemistry, molecules (namely dihydrogen, carbon …

The selective activation and transformation of alkanes or aromatics have been a research
goal for several decades. 1-3 Today, research in this area is strongly motivated by the need …

In 1956 Eleuterio invoked what is now known as an olefin metathesis reaction in order to
explain how certain heterogeneous Mo catalysts could produce polyethylene from …

We report the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic performance for gas phase propane
dehydrogenation of single-site Co 2+ ions supported on silica. Spectroscopic …

Since its early days, olefin metathesis has been in the focus of scientific discussions and
technology development. While heterogeneous olefin metathesis catalysts based on …

We report a comparative study of isolated FeII, iron oxide particles, and metallic
nanoparticles on silica for non-oxidative propane dehydrogenation. It was found that the …

Plant oils are attractive substrates for the chemical industry. Their scope for the production of
chemicals can be expanded by sophisticated catalytic conversions. Olefin metathesis is an …
