We have recently developed a novel and efficient method for synthesising Erlenmeyer azlactones under mild and rapid conditions. The reaction is performed by reacting 2-phenyl-5-oxazolone with an aldehyde in dichloromethane ...
The expansion of the concept of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands for transition metals to mesoionic ligand systems has led to the discovery of a wide range of non-classical carbene-type ligands. These non-classical ...
Abnormal isoxazolylidene complexes, a new subclass of mesoionic complexes containing an isoxazolium-derived carbene type ligand, have been synthesised via oxidative addition and compared to structurally related mesoionic ...
Pt/BaO/Al2O3 catalysts react with NO/O2 mixtures to form barium nitrites and nitrates. In the presence of small amounts of C(s) admixed with the catalyst the concentrations of NOx adsorbed is considerably reduced and the ...
This tutorial review compiles the advances that have been achieved in using transition metal complexes containing N-heterocyclic carbene ligands as components for materials. Applications of metal carbene complexes in fields ...
An aqueous phase dispersion of Pd nanoparticles stabilised by 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) promotes model Suzuki coupling reactions. The dispersion contains Pd nanoparticles of 3.4 ± 0.5 nm and a Pd(II) species ...
This work has studied a range of acidic catalysts which have been prepared through the modification of mesoporous silica materials. Specifically we have prepared –SO3H modified materials (in the presence and absence of a ...
Preliminary studies on a series of nanocomposite BaO–Fe ZSM-5 materials have been carried out to determine the feasibility of combining NOx trapping and SCR-NH3 reactions to develop a system that might be applicable to ...
The presence of a NOx trapping BaO component with a Pt active phase does not per-se promote carbon combustion. However when coupled with trap regeneration, promotion of soot combustion is seen. Operating NOx trapping ...
