    Mono-, Bi- and Multifunctional Single-Sites: Exploring the Interface Between Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Catalysis

    This mini-review contrasts the characteristics of traditional heterogeneous (solid) catalysts with those of homogeneous ones: the nature of the active sites in each case is very different, a fact well illustra...

    Single-site Biomimetic Amino Acid Complexes for the Benign Oxidation of Hydrocarbons and Alcohols

    Zeolite encapsulated amino acid complexes such as Fe-proline, Fe-histidine and Cu-valine have shown significant promise in the selective oxidation of hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane and benzylic alcohols. Thi...

    The advantages and future potential of single-site heterogeneous catalysts

    Using open-structure (nanoporous) solids, advantage may be taken of single-site catalytically active centres to effect an enormous range of conversions of organic compounds where regio-selectivity and shape-se...

    A New Approach to the Design of Heterogeneous Single-Site Enantioselective Catalysts

    We analyze the merits of an approach to the design of enantioselective catalysts that relies on constraining an anchored organometallic complex at the inner walls of mesoporous silica. Two distinct metal cente...

    Towards an Environmentally Acceptable Heterogeneous Catalytic Method of Producing Adipic Acid by the Oxidation of Hydrocarbons in Air

    A survey is given of the catalytic methods potentially available for the production of adipic acid by the oxidation of readily available hydrocarbon precursors under environmentally benign conditions. Encourag...
