Recyclable catalyst obtained
Researchers at the UAB's Department of Chemistry have developed a ruthenium catalyst supported in silica gel which is recyclable in alkene metathesis reactions. The immobilization of the catalyst allows its easy recycling and, thus, to save money, because catalysts are expensive and, although they are not...
Palladium-carbene interactions in nanoparticles improve the catalytic activity
Nanoscience and nanotechnology are areas of research that are currently in expansion and development. Metallic nanoparticles have arosen a great interest in the last decade because of its properties and the advantages in the field...
New recycable organocatalyst with economic and environmental benefits
UAB researchers have developed a new chiral organocatalitic and recyclable material that promotes aldol reactions, in which two carbonyl compounds produce a new molecule, without the use of metallic complexes. The immobilization of the...
