Carbenes in constrained systems. 4. Encapsulation of an asymmetric diazirine: Reactivity of 2-methylcyclohexanylidene

2-Methylcyclohexanylidene was generated from the corresponding diazirine within the cavities of α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrin by photolysis in the solid state. To surmise how these constrained systems affect the residing carbene's selectivity, a comparison with conventional reaction methods was made.

A mild route to solid-supported rhodium nanoparticle catalysts and their application to the selective hydrogenation reaction of substituted arenes

A clean route is described for the preparation of 1.3% (w/w) supported rhodium nanoparticle (3.0 ± 0.7 nm) catalysts onto commercial ion-exchange resins. Their application to the liquid-phase hydrogenation reaction of C=C bonds shows the most active species are obtained under catalytic conditions at room temperature and 1 bar H2. The heterogeneous catalyst shows excellent activity, selectivity and reusability in the hydrogenation reaction of alkenes and substituted arenes under very undemanding conditions. The results are discussed in terms of support effect on the catalytic efficiency.

Pt nanoparticle supported on nanocrystalline CeO2: Highly selective catalyst for upgradation of phenolic derivatives present in bio-oil

Pt nanoparticle supported on nanocrystalline CeO2 was prepared, and it was found that the catalyst can selectively hydrogenate phenolic derivatives present in bio-oil. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, XPS, ICP-AES, EXAFS, SEM and TEM. TEM micrograms confirm the presence of very small Pt nanoparticles supported on nanocrystalline CeO2. The catalyst was found to be very effective in liquid phase hydrogenation of phenol and phenolic compounds present in bio-oil in the presence of molecular H2. The synergy between the surface and very small Pt particles on the nanocrystalline CeO2 plays the most vital role towards the extremely high catalytic activity of the catalyst. The reusability of the catalyst was tested, and it was found that the catalyst does not exhibit any significant change in its catalytic activity even after five reuses. The catalyst showed ～100% conversion with very high selectivity after 3 h in phenol conversions of 100% with >98% cyclohexanol selectivity achieved after 3 h of reaction at 100 °C in aqueous medium.

NHC-stabilized ruthenium nanoparticles as new catalysts for the hydrogenation of aromatics

The application of ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) stabilized by the N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) N,N′-di(tert-butyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (ItBu) and 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene IPr as catalysts in the hydrogenation of several substrates is reported under various reaction conditions (solvent, substrate concentration, substrate/metal ratio, temperature). The RuNHC nanoparticles are active catalysts in the hydrogenation of aromatics and show an interesting ligand effect, RuIPr NPs being generally more active than RuItBu.

Ligand effect in the Rh-NP catalysed partial hydrogenation of substituted arenes

The Rh nanoparticles Rh1-Rh4 stabilised by the mono- and bidentate phosphine and phosphite ligands I-IV were synthesised, characterised and applied as catalysts in the partial hydrogenation of substituted arenes. In the case of disubstituted arenes, selectivities for the corresponding cyclohexene derivatives of up to 39% were achieved at ca. 40% conversion. The effect of parameters such as temperature and pressure was also examined. In the hydrogenation of styrene, very high selectivities for ethylbenzene were achieved with TOF values up to ca. 23500 h-1. All these results show that the catalytic performance of small Rh-NPs can be modulated by the appropriate choice of stabilising agents.

Diphosphite ligands derived from carbohydrates as stabilizers for ruthenium nanoparticles: Promising catalytic systems in arene hydrogenation

Ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) were prepared through the hydrogenation of [Ru(COD)(COT)] (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, COT = 1,3,5-cyclooctatriene) in the presence of diphosphites derived from carbohydrates as stabilizing agents, and interestingly, structur

Nanoheterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of arenes: Evaluation of the surfactant-stabilized aqueous ruthenium(O) colloidal suspension

The hydrogenation of various aromatic compounds by a surfactant-stabilized aqueous ruthenium(O) colloidal suspension was investigated. The nanocatalysts in the size range of 2.5-3.5 nm were synthesized by reducing ruthenium trichloride salt with sodium borohydride and were stabilized by the highly water soluble N,N-dimethyl-N-cetyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium chloride salt according to our classical approach. The efficient catalytic reactions were performed at room temperature and under hydrogen pressure. The effect of the stirring, namely magnetic stir bar or gas projection impeller, was also studied. A comparison with an analogous rhodium nanocatalyst is described.

Synthesis, characterization and catalytic reactivity of ruthenium nanoparticles stabilized by chiral N-donor ligands

The decomposition of the organometallic precursor [Ru(cod)(cot)] (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene; cot = 1,3,5-cyclooctatriene) under mild conditions (room temperature, 3 bars H2) and in the presence of optically pure ligands, L*, namely (R)-2-aminobutanol 1, amino(oxazolines) (2, 3), hydroxy(oxazoline) (4) and bis(oxazolines) (5-8), leads to stable ruthenium nanoparticles exhibiting a mean diameter between 1.6-2.5 nm. These nanoparticles can be isolated and re-dispersed. They display different mean sizes, shapes and dispersions depending on the stabilizer nature. These new colloids (Ru1-Ru18) have been characterized by both solid state and molecular chemistry techniques, including TEM/HRTEM, WAXS, elemental analysis, and IR and NMR spectroscopy. To further characterize the surface state of these particles, their catalytic behaviour has been examined in the reduction of organic prochiral unsaturated substrates. Although the asymmetric induction obtained is modest, it reveals the influence of the asymmetric ligand coordinated at the surface of the particles. the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique 2006.

A simple and reproducible method for the synthesis of silica-supported rhodium nanoparticles and their investigation in the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds

Colloidal suspensions of rhodium nanoparticles have been easily prepared in aqueous solution by chemical reduction of the precursor RhCl 3·3H2O in the presence of the surfactant N,N-dimethyl-N-cetyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium chloride (HEA16Cl) and further used to immobilize rhodium nanoparticles on silica by simple impregnation. The obtained silica-supported rhodium nanoparticles have been investigated by adapted characterization methods such as transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A particle size increase from 2.4 to 5 nm after the silica immobilization step and total elimination of the surfactant has been observed. This "heterogeneous" catalyst displayed good activities for the hydrogenation of mono-, di- alkylsubstituted and/or functionalized aromatic derivatives in water under atmospheric hydrogen pressure and at room temperature. In all cases, the catalyst could be recovered several times after a simple decantation or filtration and reused without any significant loss in catalytic activity. This supported catalyst has also been tested under higher hydrogen pressure giving rise to TOFs reaching 6430 h -1 at 30 bar and in terms of catalytic lifetime 30 000 TTO in 8.5 h for pure anisole hydrogenation at 40 bar. the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique 2006.

Arene Hydrogenation with a Stabilised Aqueous Rhodium(0) Suspension: A Major Effect of the Surfactant Counter-Anion

A reduced aqueous colloidal suspension of rhodium shows an efficient activity in the catalytic hydrogenation of various benzene derivatives under biphasic conditions at room temperature and under atmospheric hydrogen pressure. The rhodium nanoparticles in the size range of 2-2.5 nm have been synthesised by reducing RhCl3 · 3 H2O with sodium borohydride and were stabilised by highly water-soluble N,N-dimethyl-N-cetyl-N-(2- hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts (HEA16X, X = Br, Cl, I, CH3SO 3, BF4). The major influence of the counter-ion of these surfactants on catalytic activity and recycling is described. The best results have been obtained with chloride ammonium salts HEA16Cl.
