Catalytic hydrogenations constitute economic and clean transformations to produce pharmaceutical and a multitude of fine chemicals in chemical industry. Herein, we report a cationic Ru(II) complex intercalated into zirconium phosphate (ZrP) layers that enables the efficient catalytic conversion of furfural and other biomass-derived carbonyl compounds into the corresponding alcohols through selective hydrogenation of C=O group. The ZrP layers acted not only as a support for the Ru-complex, but also as the new ligands to tune the Ru(II) center via forming Ru?O bond. The resulting catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic performance and can be easily recycled for six times without significant loss of activity and selectivity. The Ru(II) complex-intercalated catalysts have been characterized by XRD, SEM, HRTEM, HAADF-STEM, XPS, FT-IR, DR-UV/Vis, EXAFS and XANES. Especially, it is observed that the appropriate interlayer spacing between ZrP layers is favorable to stabilize the Ru(II) complex. Notably, on the basis of the further characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculation, it is identified that the interaction of cationic Ru(II) complex and P?OH group within ZrP layers leads to the high catalytic performance in selective hydrogenation, and the newly formed Ru?O?P species plays a crucial role in the heterolytic hydrogen activation and selective hydrogenation of biomass-derived compounds containing a carbonyl group.

Encapsulation of metal nanoparticles in a zeolite matrix is a promising route to integrate multiple sequential reactions into a one-pot and one-step tandem catalytic reaction. We report a cationic polymer-assisted synthetic strategy to encapsulate Pt nanoparticles (NPs) into MFI zeolites. Degrees of encapsulation of Pt NPs in the synthesized catalysts exceeding 90% were demonstrated via kinetic studies of model reactions involving substrates with different molecular dimensions. HZSM-5 zeolite-encapsulated Pt NPs are able to selectively mediate the tandem aldol condensation and hydrogenation of furfural and acetone to form hydrogenated C8 products with a combined yield of 87%. In contrast, hydrogenation and decarbonylation of furfural dominate on Pt NPs supported on HZSM-5 at otherwise identical conditions. The high selectivity toward the tandem reaction on the encapsulated catalyst is attributed to the distribution of metal and acid sites, which limits the access of furfural to Pt sites and promotes the acid-catalyzed aldol condensation. This is the first demonstration that the product distribution in a tandem reaction is manipulated by tailoring the architecture of catalytic materials via encapsulation.

The partial replacement of ruthenium by iron ("dilution") provided enhanced catalytic activities and selectivities for bimetallic iron-ruthenium nanoparticles immobilized on a supported ionic liquid phase (FeRuNPs@SILP). An organometallic synthetic approach to the preparation of FeRuNPs@SILP allowed for a controlled and flexible incorporation of Fe into bimetallic FeRu NPs. The hydrogenation of substituted aromatic substrates using bimetallic FeRuNPs@SILP showed high catalytic activities and selectivities for the reduction of a variety of unsaturated moieties without saturation of the aromatic ring. The formation of a bimetallic phase not only leads to an enhanced differentiation of the hydrogenation selectivity, but even reversed the order of functional group hydrogenation in certain cases. In particular, bimetallic FeRuNPs@SILP (Fe:Ru = 25:75) were found to exhibit accelerated reaction rates for C=O hydrogenation within furan-based substrates which were >4 times faster than monometallic RuNPs@SILP. Thus, the controlled incorporation of the non-noble metal into the bimetallic phase provided novel catalytic properties that could not be obtained using either of the monometallic catalysts.
