The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the main undesired side reaction in catalytic oxidation processes industrial interest that make use H2O2 as a terminal oxidant, such epoxidation alkenes. However, mechanism responsible for this still poorly understood, thus hindering development design rules to maximize efficiency oxidations terms product selectivity and oxidant utilization efficiency. Here, we thoroughly investigated using Zr-monosubstituted dimeric Lindqvist tungstate,...
Effective degradation of non-natural phosphate triesters (PTs) widely used in pesticides and warfare agents is paramount relevance for human environmental safety, particularly under acidic conditions where they are highly stable. Here, we present a detailed reactivity mechanistic study pioneering discrete {Zr
Hydrogenolysis of a series alkyl sulfido-bridged tantalum(IV) dinuclear complexes [Ta(η5-C5Me5)R(μ-S)]2 [R = Me, nBu (1), Et, CH2SiMe3, C3H5, Ph, CH2Ph (2), p-MeC6H4CH2 (3)] has led quantitatively to the Ta(III) tetrametallic sulfide cluster [Ta(η5-C5Me5)(μ3-S)]4 (4) along with corresponding alkane. Mechanistic information for formation unique low-valent compound 4 was gathered by hydrogenation phenyl-substituted precursor [Ta(η5-C5Me5)Ph(μ-S)]2, which proceeds through stepwise process,...
The capricious reactivity and speciation of earth-abundant metals (EAM) hinder the mechanistic understanding essential to boost their efficiency versatility in catalysis. Moreover, metal's solution chemistry are conventionally controlled using organic ligands, while fundamental operando conditions is often overlooked. However, this study, we showcase how a better may result improved catalytic reactions. By assessing composition structure active species for Zr-catalyzed direct amide bond...
