Boryl-Assisted Hydrogenolysis of a Nickel-Methyl bond

Boryl-Assisted Hydrogenolysis of a Nickel-Methyl bond

A stable Nickel(II) methyl complex containing a diphosphinoboryl (PBP) pincer ligand is described. Mechanistic studies on the hydrogenolysis of the Ni-Me bond suggest a metal ligand cooperation mechanism that involves the intermediacy of a σ-B‒H Ni(0) species that...
Viability of Au/CeO2–ZnO/Al2O3 Catalysts for Pure Hydrogen Production by the Water–Gas Shift Reaction

Viability of Au/CeO2–ZnO/Al2O3 Catalysts for Pure Hydrogen Production by the Water–Gas Shift Reaction

The production of H2 pure enough for use in fuel cells requires the development of very efficient catalysts for the water–gas shift reaction. Herein, a series of gold catalysts supported on ZnO-promoted CeO2–Al2O3 are presented as interesting systems for the...
Pt vs. Au in water–gas shift reaction

Pt vs. Au in water–gas shift reaction

This work presents a comparison of the gold- and platinum-based catalysts behavior in the water–gas shift (WGS) reaction. The influence of the support, e.g., its composition and electronic properties, studied in detail by means of UV–Vis spectroscopy, of the metal...
Could an efficient WGS catalyst be useful in the CO-PrOx reaction?

Could an efficient WGS catalyst be useful in the CO-PrOx reaction?

This work presents an evaluation of a high performance series of water gas shift (WGS) catalysts in the preferential CO oxidation reaction (PrOx) in order to examine the applicability of the same catalyst for both processes as a first step for coupling both reactions...
