Besides alkene hydrogenation, we have shown that graphenes also exhibit high selectivity for the hydrogenation of acetylene in the presence of a large excess of ethylene. You have full access to ...

The team’s alkene hydrogenation reaction runs differently depending on whether they activate the catalyst with heat or light (ACS Catal 2020, DOI: 10.1021/acscatal.0c05136).

Remarkably, the hydrogenation of the alkene intermediate could lead to the formation of 1-dodecane. However, only after 240 minutes of irradiation was hydrogenated n-alkane completely detected. Such ...

Asymmetric hydrogenation may be the current gold standard ... that for the first time offer high turnover rates and high regio- and enantioselectivity in converting achiral alkenes to chiral ...

The first margarine consisted of churned beef tallow and milk, but French and German chemists soon found a way to turn inexpensive liquid vegetable oils into solid saturated fats through a process ...

Isolated, well-defined organovanadium(iii) on silica: single-site catalyst for hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes. Chem. Commun. , 2017; DOI: 10.1039/C7CC01876B ...

A tunable balance between the adsorption energetics of alkenes at the surface of bare and capped nanoparticles defines the selectivity of the nanocatalyst for alkene in alkyne hydrogenation ...
