Scientists make supramolecular iridium catalyst with enzyme-like precise conversions

By admin | Geen categorie | 0 Comments

By Sander Kluwer, InCatT B.V. The conversion of feedstocks to useable chemical compounds is at the heart of chemistry and the chemical industry. Many catalytic transformations have been developed in the last decades to mature processes. Despite numerous efforts, there were always a number transformations that remained a tough nut to crack. One such conversion […]

InCatT’s scale up studies using DoE and kinetics – a powerful combination

By admin | Geen categorie | 0 Comments

The scale up of a reaction from gram to multi-kilogram scale is not always straightforward and requires crucial knowledge about the reaction. One way of upscaling is to perform One Factor At a Time (OFAT) but this only provides very limited information about the reaction space. More appropriate is the statistical DoE (design of experiment) […]

Robust Highly-Dispersed Heterogeneous Ruthenium Catalysts – Just Add a Pinch of Sodium (article review)

By admin | Geen categorie | 0 Comments

The importance of heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation reactions cannot be overemphasized and is one of the backbones of the chemical industry. Highly active and robust catalysts remain an objective particularly from an economical point of view. Catalyst deactivation, the loss over time of catalytic activity and/or selectivity, is a problem of great and continuing concern in […]

The testing of libraries of phosphorus ligands is at the core of catalyst screening for the optimization of industrially relevant process. Among these processes, hydrogenation, hydroformylation and cross coupling reactions strongly depends on such methodology. In this regard, the availability of structurally and electronically diverse phosphorus ligands is essential to fully explore the relationship between […]
