New insights into the effect of nitrogen incorporation in Mo: catalytic hydrogenation vs. hydrogenolysis

Lioubov Kiwi, Fernando Cardenas Lizana, Daniel André Samuel Lamey

The catalytic effect of nitrogen incorporation into Mo on hydrogenation (of -NO2 to -NH2 in nitrobenzene to aniline) and hydrogenolysis (of -C?O in benzaldehyde to toluene) processes has been assessed. Bulk Mo was prepared by temperature programmed reducti ...

Highly selective immobilized bimetallic Ni-Au nanoparticle catalyst for the partial hydrogenation of m-dinitrobenzene

Lioubov Kiwi, Paul Joseph Dyson, Oliver Anthony Beswick, Fernando Cardenas Lizana, Daniel André Samuel Lamey

Transition metal nanoparticles (NPs) are extensively used as catalysts for a wide and diverse range of organic transformations when immobilized on appropriate solid supports. We describe the development of a highly active and highly selective heterogeneous ...

Ni-based structured catalyst for selective 3-phase hydrogenation of nitroaromatics

Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas La Grange, Paul Joseph Dyson, Oliver Anthony Beswick, Félicien Muriset, Daniel André Samuel Lamey

We report herein on the development of Ni-based catalyst using activated carbon fibres (ACFs) as a structured support and its application for the three‐phase hydrogenation of nitroarenes (T = 353 K; P = 10 bar). It was shown that metallic Ni0 nanoparticles ...

Rational Catalyst Design for Selective Hydrogenations : Nitroarenes and Alkynes as Case Studies

Daniel André Samuel Lamey

Catalyst design for selective hydrogenations is of major importance for the manufacturing of fine chemicals. Catalytic procedure which uses scarce and expensive noble metals is very challenging in terms of exclusive attack of a single functionality or subs ...

An examination of catalyst deactivation in p-chloronitrobenzene hydrogenation over supported gold

Lioubov Kiwi, Fernando Cardenas Lizana, Daniel André Samuel Lamey, Xiaodong Wang

The stability of Au/Al2O3 in the continuous gas phase (423 K) hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) to p-chloroaniline (p-CAN) has been investigated over an inlet H-2/p-CNB = 4-390, i.e. from close to stoichiometry to H2 far in excess. The catalyst ...

Impact of organic-ligand shell on catalytic performance of colloidal Pd nanoparticles for alkyne gas-phase hydrogenation

Lioubov Kiwi, Fernando Cardenas Lizana, Daniel André Samuel Lamey, Irina Prokopyeva

Monodispersed Pd nanoparticles (NPs) have been prepared by colloidal technique and deposited on a structured support consisting of carbon nanofibers (CNF) grown on sintered metal fibres (SMF). The surface properties of Pd NPs have been fine-tuned by (i) ch ...
