Towards molecular sieve inorganic catalysts that are akin to enzymes: studies of a selective cyclo-dimerization over ferrierite at ambient temperature
The solid-acid (Brønsted)-catalyzed cyclo-dimerization of 3-hydroxy-3-methylbutan-2-one (HMB) over a synthetic ferrierite molecular sieve is reported. HMB is a stable liquid at ambient temperatures but in acid...

Entrapment of nanostructured palladium clusters in hydrophobic sol–gel materials
The fluoride-catalysed hydrolysis of mixtures of CH3Si(OCH3)3 and Mg(OC2H5)2 in the presence of preformed nanosized R4N+Br−-stabilised Pd colloids results in the formation of micro/mesoporous hydrophobic sol–gel ...
