Tens of thousands of atoms replaced by one

Many catalysts comprise metal nanoparticles on solid supports. The discovery that single atoms of palladium anchored to a solid support also exhibit high catalytic activity might help to conserve the supply of...

Molecular-sieve catalysts for the selective oxidation of linear alkanes by molecular oxygen

Terminally oxidized hydrocarbons are of considerable interest as potential feedstocks for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, but the selective oxidation of only the terminal methyl groups in alkanes rem...

De novo design of structure-directing agents for the synthesis of microporous solids

THE synthesis of microporous materials such as aluminosilicates and aluminophosphates, which are widely exploited as solid acid catalysts, ion exchangers and in gas separation, is facilitated by the use of st...

Heterogeneous catalysts obtained by grafting metallocene complexes onto mesoporous silica

THE synthesis of mesoporous siliceous solids with large-diameter channel apertures (25–100 Å) has greatly expanded the capabilities of heterogeneous catalysis^1–7. The large apertures in such mesoporous silicas ca...

Tracing the conversion of aurichalcite to a copper catalyst by combined X-ray absorption and diffraction

EVER since X-ray sources first became available, the merit of deploying diffraction and absorption spectroscopic studies simultaneously has been acknowledged¹. Information on oxidation states and local (~6-Å radi...
