Hydrosoluble Betaine-Stabilized CuRu Bimetallic Nanoparticles for the Aqueous Semi-Hydrogenation of Alkynols

Abstract The selective semi-hydrogenation of alkynols to alkenols is an important catalytic transformation, since they serve as intermediates in the production of fine chemicals, including vitamins, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, fragrances, and flavors. In this work, we have sy...

Isolated Cu+–O–Ga3+ Pairs as Structural Motifs that Enhance CO2-to-Methanol Conversion

Abstract Isolated dual-atom sites constitute a promising yet largely unexplored strategy for directing reaction intermediates in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. In this work, we identify isolated Cu+–O–Ga3+ dual-atom motifs and provide a mechanistically consistent interpretation l...
