A simple dinuclear monohydrido bridged ruthenium complex [{(η6-p-cymene)RuCl}2(μ-H-μ-Cl)] acts as an efficient and selective catalyst for the hydrogenation of various heteroarenes and arenes. The nature of the catalytically active species was investigated using a combination of techniques including in situ reaction monitoring, kinetic studies, quantitative poisoning experiments and electron microscopy, evidencing a dual reactivity. The results suggest that the hydrogenation of heteroarenes proceeds via molecular catalysis. In particular, monitoring the reaction progress by NMR spectroscopy indicates that [{(η6-p-cymene)RuCl}2(μ-H-μ-Cl)] is transformed into monomeric ruthenium intermediates, which upon subsequent activation of dihydrogen and hydride transfer accomplish the hydrogenation of heteroarenes under homogeneous conditions. In contrast, carbocyclic aryl motifs are hydrogenated via a heterogeneous pathway, by in situ generated ruthenium nanoparticles. Remarkably, these hydrogenation reactions can be performed using molecular hydrogen under solvent-free conditions or with 1,4-dioxane, and thus give access to a broad range of saturated heterocycles and carbocycles while generating no waste.

The N-doped carbon layer coated SBA-15 support has been accomplished via a pyrolysis process. The ultra-low loading Ru nanoparticles (ca. 0.1 wt.%) was incorporated into the support by impregnation and the sequential reduction. The images of HAADF-STEM revealed that the Ru particles with sub-1-nm size (0.2-0.7 nm) were uniformly dispersed on the support. The ultrafine Ru particles displayed the excellent activity for the hydrogenation of olefins, arenes, phenol derivatives and heteroarenes in aqueous phase. The aliphatic or alicyclic compounds were produced selectively without the hydrogenolysis of C–O and C–N bonds. The high turnover frequency (TOF) values can reach up to 10,000 h?1. Notably, the activity of these catalysts improved dramatically with decreasing the sizes of Ru particles. Meanwhile, the N-doped carbon layer coating endowed the high stability of the Ru catalysts and prevented the leaching of the Ru species owning to the strong interaction between doped-N atoms and the ultrafine Ru particles. Overall, this work provides a highly attractive strategy to construct the supported sub-1-nm Ru particles utilized for the aqueous hydrogenation.

Titania (TiO2) is widely used in the chemical industry as an efficacious catalyst support, benefiting from its unique strong metal-support interaction. Many proposals have been made to rationalize this effect at the macroscopic level, yet the underlying molecular mechanism is not understood due to the presence of multiple catalytic species on the TiO2 surface. This challenge can be addressed with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) featuring well-defined metal oxo/hydroxo clusters for supporting single-site catalysts. Herein we report that the Ti8(μ2-O)8(μ2-OH)4 node of the Ti-BDC MOF (MIL-125) provides a single-site model of the classical TiO2 support to enable CoII-hydride-catalyzed arene hydrogenation. The catalytic activity of the supported CoII-hydride is strongly dependent on the reduction of the Ti-oxo cluster, definitively proving the pivotal role of TiIII in the performance of the supported catalyst. This work thus provides a molecularly precise model of Ti-oxo clusters for understating the strong metal-support interaction of TiO2-supported heterogeneous catalysts.

Identifying crystal structure sensitivity of a catalyst for a particular reaction is an important issue in heterogeneous catalysis. In this context, the activity of different phases of ruthenium catalysts for benzene hydrogenation has not yet been investigated. The synthesis of hcp and fcc phases of ruthenium nanosponges by chemical reduction method has been described. Reduction of ruthenium chloride using ammonia borane (AB) and tert-butylamine borane (TBAB) as reducing agents gave ruthenium nanosponge in its hcp phase. On the other hand, reduction using sodium borohydride (SB) afforded ruthenium nanosponge in its fcc phase. The as prepared hcp ruthenium nanosponge was found to be catalytically more active compared to the as prepared fcc ruthenium nanosponge for hydrogenation of benzene. The hcp ruthenium nanosponge was found to be thermally stable and recyclable over several cycles. This self-supported hcp ruthenium nanosponge shows excellent catalytic activity towards hydrogenation of various substituted benzenes. Moreover, the ruthenium nanosponge catalyst was found to bring about selective hydrogenation of aromatic cores of phenols and aryl ethers to the respective alicyclic products without hydrogenolysis of the C?O bond.

The turnover frequencies of catalytic systems based on Ni(acac)2–AlEt3 or AlEt2(OEt) in the hydrogenation of benzene and its methyl-substituted homologs (toluene, three isomers of xylene, and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) have been determined at temperatures of 80–120 °C, initial PH2 = 15 bar, and different ratios of Al/Ni. The size and nature of the nanoparticles forming in the systems based on Ni(acac)2–AlEt3 or AlEt2(OEt) under the benzene hydrogenation condition shave been resolved by high-resolution electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis. This study included the performance of competitive hydrogenation reactions of benzene with toluene or three xylene isomers. The relative adsorption constants of toluene and three xylene isomers have been determined and the stereochemistry of the hydrogen addition to the arene ring has also been elucidated.

The selective hydrogenolysis of C-O bonds constitutes a key step for the valorization of biomass including lignin fragments. Moreover, this defunctionalization process offers the possibility of producing interesting organic building blocks in a straightforward manner from oxygenated compounds. Herein, we demonstrate the reductive hydrogenolysis of a wide variety of ethers including diaryl, aryl-alkyl and aryl-benzyl derivatives catalyzed by a stable heterogeneous NiAlOx catalyst in the presence of a Lewis acid (LA). The special feature of this catalyst system is the formation of substituted cyclohexanols from the corresponding aryl ether.

Fast pyrolysis of biomass for bio-oil production is a direct route to renewable liquid fuels, but raw bio-oil must be upgraded in order to remove easily polymerized compounds (such as phenols and furfurals). Herein, a synthesis strategy for graphene encapsulated Ru nanoparticles (NPs) on carbon sheets (denoted as Ru@G-CS) and their excellent performance for the upgrading of raw bio-oil were reported. Ru@G-CS composites were prepared via the direct pyrolysis of mixed glucose, melamine and RuCl3 at varied temperatures (500-800 °C). Characterization indicated that very fine Ru NPs (2.5 ± 1.0 nm) that were encapsulated within 1-2 layered N-doped graphene were fabricated on N-doped carbon sheets (CS) in Ru@G-CS-700 (pyrolysis at 700 °C). And the Ru@G-CS-700 composite was highly active and stable for hydrogenation of unstable components in bio-oil (31 samples including phenols, furfurals and aromatics) even in aqueous media under mild conditions. This work provides a new protocol to the utilization of biomass, especially for the upgrading of bio-oil.

Ir(0)-nanoparticles (Ir-NPs) were synthesized into the nanopores of modified montmorillonite clay by incipient wetness impregnation of IrCl3 followed by reduction with ethylene glycol. The activation of the montmorillonite clay was carried out by treatment with HCl under controlled conditions to increase the surface area by generating nanopores which act as host for the metal nanoparticles. The synthesized Ir-NP-montmorillonite composites were characterized by N2-sorption, powder XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM, XPS, etc. The composites exhibit high surface area of 327 m2 g-1 and the Ir-NPs with size around 4 nm are uniformly distributed on the support. The Ir-NPs show efficient catalytic activity in aromatic ring hydrogenation under solvent free conditions with maximum conversion up to 100% and Turn Over Frequency (TOF) up to 79 h-1. The catalyst can be easily separated by simple filtration and remained active for several runs without significant loss of catalytic efficiency.

The synthesis of metal NPs with a well-defined size, shape and composition provides opportunities for tuning the catalytic performance of metal NPs. However, the presence of a stabilizer on the metal surface always blocks the active sites of metal NPs. Herein, we report an efficient method to remove the stabilizer on the metal surface via H2 pyrolysis with Ru-poly(amindoamine) encapsulated in silica-based yolk-shell nanostructures as an example. The CO uptake amount of Ru NPs increases sharply after H2 pyrolysis, indicating that the exposure degree of Ru NPs is increased. No aggregation of the colloidal Ru NPs occurs after H2 pyrolysis, which could be mainly assigned to the protection effect of C and N species formed on Ru NPs. The overall activity of Ru NPs in the yolk-shell nanostructure after the pyrolysis could reach as high as 20 300 mmol per mmol Ru per h in the hydrogenation of toluene, which is much higher than that of most reported Ru-based solid catalysts. It was found that the yolk-shell nanostructure could efficiently prevent the leaching of Ru NPs during the catalytic process. Ru NPs in the yolk-shell nanostructure could also catalyze the hydrogenation of benzoic acid and Levulinic acid with high activity and selectivity.
