Supported palladium nanoparticles on hybrid mesoporous silica: Structure/activity-relationship in the aerobic alcohol oxidation using supercritical carbon dioxide
The preparation, characterization, and catalytic properties of Pd nanoparticles supported on mesoporous organic–inorganic hybrid materials are described for continuous-flow aerobicoxidation of alcohols using supercriticalcarbondioxide (scCO2) as a mobile phase. The nanoparticles were generated “bottom-up” from molecular precursors that were precoordinated to the support through suitable anchor units
And the magic number is …︁ 4! A large amount of oligomer‐free 1‐octene (99.9 %) was produced from ethylene by a catalytic system based on chromium during the formation of polyethylene wax [see GC–MS chromatogram; the other three significant peaks are methanol (quenching agent), ethyl acetate (needle‐rinsing agent), and toluene (solvent)].
