Acetone hydrogenation catalysis is important in applications such as heat pumps and fuel cells or in fulfilling the sizable demand for the product of selective acetone hydrogenation, 2-propanol. Reported herein is the discovery of a superior acetone hydrogenation catalyst- superior in terms of activity at low temperature, selectivity at complete conversion, and total catalyst lifetime. The new catalyst system consists of lr(0)(n) nanoclusters plus HCI easily and reproducibly formed from commercially available [(1,5-COD)-lrCI](2) under H-2. The resultant, room temperature, high activity, and highly selective (2/n)lr(0)(n) plus 2HCI catalyst system hydrogenates acetone at 22 degrees C and 40 psig of H-2 pressure to 95% 2-propanol and the rest diisopropyl ether at 100% conversion with 16400 total catalytic turnovers and with an initial turnover frequency of 1.9 s(-1) at 22 degrees C. When molecular sieves are added, the catalyst system becomes even more selective and long-lived, providing the complete and selective conversion of acetone to 100% 2-propanol with 188000 total turnovers. Also reported are initial kinetic, D-labeling and other mechanistic studies, a summary section detailing the four main findings, the "green chemistry" aspects, and the current main drawback (a limited catalytic lifetime due to nanocluster precipitation) of the present invention. A review of the extensive literature of acetone hydrogenation is also tabulated as part of the Supporting Information.

Iridium(O) nanoparticles dispersed in zeolite framework: A highly active and long-lived green nanocatalyst for-the hydrogenation of neat aromatics at room temperature TONBUL, YALÇIN; Zahmakıran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2014-04-27) The complete hydrogenation of aromatic molecules is one of the key transformation employed in the synthetic and petroleum chemistry. Described herein is a new catalytic nanomaterial for the hydrogenation of neat aromatics under mild conditions. A novel nanocatalyst, consisting of iridium(O) nanoparticles stabilized by zeolite with EAU framework could reproducibly been prepared from the reduction of iridium(III)-exchanged zeolite in an aqueous sodium borohydride solution at room temperature and characterized...
Cobalt Metallopeptide Electrocatalyst for the Selective Reduction of Nitrite to Ammonium Guo, Yixing; Stroka, Jesse R.; Kandemir, Banu; Dickerson, Claire E.; Bren, Kara L. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-12-12) A cobalt-tripeptide complex (CoGGH) is developed as an electrocatalyst for the selective six-electron, eight-proton reduction of nitrite to ammonium in aqueous buffer near neutral pH. The onset potential for nitrite reduction occurs at -0.65 V vs Ag/AgCl (1 M KCl). Controlled potential electrolysis at -0.90 V generates ammonium with a faradaic efficiency of 90 +/- 3% and a turnover number of 3550 +/- 420 over 5.5 h. CoGGH also catalyzes the reduction of the proposed intermediates nitric oxide and hydroxylam...
Synergistic Effects in Bimetallic Palladium-Copper Catalysts Improve Selectivity in Oxygenate Coupling Reactions Goulas, Konstantinos A.; SREEKUMAR, Sanil; Song, Yuying; Kharidehal, Purnima; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Dietrich, Paul J.; Johnson, Gregory R.; Wang, Y. C.; Grippo, Adam M.; Grabow, Lars C.; Gokhale, Amit A.; Toste, F. Dean (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-06-01) Condensation reactions such as Guerbet and aldol are important since they allow for C-C bond formation and give higher molecular weight oxygenates. An initial study identified Pd-supported on hydrotalcite as an active catalyst for the, transformation, although this catalyst showed extensive undesirable decarbonylation. A catalyst containing Pd and Cu in a 3:1 ratio dramatically decreased decarbonylation, while preserving the high catalytic rates seen with Pd-based catalysts. A combination of XRD, EXAFS, TEM...
INTRAZEOLITE METAL-CARBONYL TOPOTAXY - A COMPREHENSIVE STRUCTURAL AND SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF INTRAZEOLITE GROUP-VI METAL HEXACARBONYLS AND SUBCARBONYLS Özkar, Saim; MOLLER, K; BEIN, T (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1990-12-01) This paper focuses attention on the intrazeolite anchoring, thermal decarbonylation, ligand exchange, and addition chemistry of M(CO)6-M'56Y, where M = Cr, Mo, W; M' = H, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs. The key points to emerge from this study include the following. (i) M(CO)6-M'56Y samples have the hexacarbonylmetal(O) molecule associated with two alpha-cage extraframework cations (or Bronsted protons), via the oxygen end of two trans bonded carbonyls with a saturation loading of 2M(CO)6/alpha-cage. (ii) M(CO)6-M'56...
GUEST HOST INTERACTIONS IN SODIUM ZEOLITE-Y - STRUCTURAL AND DYNAMIC NA-23 DOUBLE-ROTATION NMR-STUDY OF H2O, PME3, MO(CO)6, AND MO(CO)4(PME3)2 ADSORPTION IN NA56Y JELINEK, R; Özkar, Saim; PASTORE, HO; MALEK, A; OZIN, GA (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1993-01-01) Na-23 double-rotation NMR (DOR) provides site-specific structural and dynamical information on guest-host interactions within sodium zeolite Y pores. Quantitative adsorption of H2O, PMe3, and Mo(CO)6 guests affects both the positions and line shapes of the N-23 resonances from specific extraframework Na+ sites. The evolution of the Na-23 DOR spectra with the progressive introduction of guest molecules allows one to probe direct ''solvation'' effects involving the Na+ cations in the larger supercages, as wel...
