Royal Society of Chemistry Sustainable Nitrogen Activation: Faraday
Book SynopsisIndustrial-scale ammonia synthesis, as accomplished by the Haber–Bosch process, was a landmark achievement of the 20th century. However, as currently practiced, including feedstock generation, the process accounts for 1–2% of global energy demand and contributes significant fossil-fuel-based CO2 emissions. Accordingly, there is much contemporary interest in developing more sustainable ammonia synthesis routes which could, for example, be operated on the local scale employing renewable energy. The five themes of this Faraday Discussion unite different research communities around a topic of mutual interest and great societal importance, with particular emphasis placed upon the transfer of learning between the different themes. The discussion focuses on the following themes: Heterogeneous catalytic and chemical looping routes to N2 activation Electrocatalytic and photocatalytic routes to N2 activation Enzymatic N2 activation Homogeneous N2 activation Alternative routes to NH3 and its applicationsTable of ContentsHeterogeneous catalytic and chemical looping routes to N2 activation;Electrocatalytic and photocatalytic routes to N2 activation;Enzymatic N2 activation;Homogeneous N2 activation; Alternative routes to NH3 and its applications

Springer Radicals on Surfaces
Book SynopsisStudies of free radicals on surfaces are of interest for several reasons: the spontaneous or stimulated formation of radicals from adsorbed molecules may represent one possible mechanism for heterogeneous catalysis. In some cases the radicals are ionic, indicating that primary oxidation and reduction reactions occur. Radicals can also be used as probes to investigate diffusion processes on catalytic surfaces. The first direct observations were made more than 30 years ago, but detailed studies of structure, reactions and mobility have only recently become feasible with the advent of powerful spectroscopic techniques, to a great extent developed and used by the contributors to this volume. This comprehensive review describes new trends in the field. Leading experts write about the nature of surface active sites, methods to identify them, and the radicals formed from adsorbed molecules interacting with the surface. The emphasis is on the fundamentals covering thermal, photostimulated and radiation induced reactions as well as diffusion processes. This provides the necessary background for technological applications. This book will be useful to those who are interested in surface chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis as well as those who want to study reactive intermediates in chemical reactions.

Royal Society of Chemistry Noncovalent Interactions in Catalysis
Book SynopsisNoncovalent interactions often provide the spine of biomolecular and material structures, and can therefore play a key role in biological and catalytic processes. Selectivity in chemical reactions, particularly in catalytic processes, is often an orchestral action of various noncovalent interactions occurring in intermediates and transition states. Although the role of hydrogen bonding is well explored in catalysis, the other types of weak interactions, namely cation–π, anion–π, π–π stacking, pseudo-agostic, halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen, tetrel and icosagen bonds, must also be considered. Naturally, the chemo-, regio- or stereoselectivity of a reaction depends on the stability of such noncovalent-interaction-supported species in catalytic systems. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of these weak interactions may be the key to designing new catalytic materials. Providing an overview of the role of these different types of noncovalent interactions in both homogenous and heterogeneous catalysis, this book is a valuable resource for synthetic chemists who are interested in exploring and further developing noncovalent-interaction-assisted synthesis and catalysis.Table of ContentsNoncovalent Interactions in C–H Bond Functionalization; Importance of C–H Hydrogen Bonding in Asymmetric Catalysis; Catalysis by Networks of Cooperative Hydrogen Bonds; Secondary (Agostic Si–H/Electrostatic C–F) Interactions in Alkaline Earth-based Catalysts; Anion–π Catalysis; Onium Ion-assisted Organic Reactions Through Cation–π Interactions; The Role of Noncovalent Interactions in the Efficiency of Dendrimers in Catalysis; Noncovalent Interactions in Hydrogenation and Hydroformylation; Soft Forces in Organic Synthesis by C–N Coupling Reactions; Noncovalent Interactions in the Design of Chiral Brønsted Acid Catalysts; Noncovalent Interactions in the Nitroaldol (Henry) Reaction; Noncovalent Interactions in Asymmetric Reactions Catalysed by Chiral Phosphoric Acids; Baeyer–Villiger Oxidation Promoted by Noncovalent Interactions; Noncovalent Interactionassisted Redox Catalysis in Reductive Dehalogenation; Noncovalent Immobilization of Catalysts on Electrode Surfaces; Noncovalent Interactions in Ionic Liquids; Ionic Liquid Effect in Catalysed Multicomponent Reactions; Noncovalent Interactions in Olefin Polymerization Catalysis Promoted by Transition Metals; Influence of Noncovalent Interactions in Catalytic Ring-opening Polymerization Processes; Cavity Effects in Metal–Organic Frameworks; Cavity Effects in Metal–Organic Frameworks in CO2 Capture and Conversion; Hybrids of Metal–Organic Frameworks as Organized Supramolecular Nano-reactors; The Nature of Hydrogen Bonding in Adsorbed CO2 and H2O on Solid Amines in CO2 Capture; Noncovalent Interactions of Biogenic Impurities with Transition Metal Catalyst Surfaces; Mechanochemical Activation and Catalysis; Role of Ion Pairing in the Mechanisms of Au(i)-catalysed Reactions: Theory and Experiment; Noncovalent Interactions in Key Metal-centred Catalytic Intermediates: Structure– Electronic Relationship; Noncovalent Interactions in Biocatalysis – A Theoretical Perspective; Analysis of Reactivity from the Noncovalent Interactions Perspective

Royal Society of Chemistry Enantioselective Cobalt-catalysed Transformations
Book SynopsisWith a foreword from leading organic chemist Professor Paul Wender, this book collects the major developments reported in the past thirty years in the field of enantioselective reactions promoted by chiral cobalt catalysts, illustrating the power of these green catalysts to provide all types of organic reactions from the basic to completely novel methodologies. The search for new methodologies to prepare optically pure products is one of the most active areas of research in organic synthesis. Of the methods available for preparing chiral compounds, catalytic asymmetric synthesis has attracted the most attention. In particular, asymmetric transition-metal catalysis is a powerful tool for performing reactions in a highly enantioselective fashion. Efforts to develop new asymmetric transformations have previously focused on the use of rare metals such as titanium, palladium, iridium and gold. However, the ever-growing need for environmentally friendly catalytic processes has prompted chemists to focus on the more abundant and less toxic first-row transition metals, such as cobalt, to develop new catalytic systems. The ability of cobalt catalysts to adopt unexpected reaction pathways has led to an impressive number of enantioselective cobalt-promoted transformations being developed over the past three decades. These have included the synthesis of many different types of products, often under relatively mild conditions and with remarkable enantioselectivities. This book is a useful reference resource for chemists, both academic and industrial, working in organic synthesis and interested in greener or more economical catalytic alternatives.Table of ContentsForeword; Enantioselective Cobalt-Catalysed [2+1] Cycloadditions; Other Enantioselective Cobalt-Catalysed Cycloadditions; Enantioselective Cobalt-Catalysed Cyclisations through Domino Reactions; Miscellaneous Enantioselective Cobalt-Catalysed Cyclisations; Synthesis of Chiral Acyclic Compounds through Enantioselective Cobalt-Catalysed Reduction Reactions; Synthesis of Chiral Acyclic Compounds through Enantioselective Cobalt-Catalysed Ring-Opening Reactions; Synthesis of Chiral Acyclic Compounds through Enantioselective Cobalt-Catalysed Michael and (Nitro)-Aldol Reactions; Synthesis of Chiral Acyclic Compounds through Enantioselective Cobalt-Catalysed 1,2-Nucleophilic Additions to Carbonyl Compounds and Derivatives; Synthesis of Chiral Acyclic Compounds through Enantioselective Cobalt-Catalysed Cross-Coupling Reactions; Synthesis of Chiral Acyclic Compounds through Enantioselective Cobalt-Catalysed Hydrovinylation Reactions; Synthesis of Chiral Acyclic Compounds through Miscellaneous Enantioselective Cobalt-Catalysed Reactions; General Conclusion

Book Synopsis"We heartily recommend this book to all readers who wish to gain a better understanding of nanostructured carbon materials surface properties and used in catalysis." An-Hui Lu, ChemCatChem There is great interest in using nanostructured carbon materials in catalysis, either as supports for immobilizing active species or as metal-free catalysts due to their unique structural, thermal, chemical, electronic and mechanical properties, and tailorable surface chemistry. This book looks at the structure and properties of different doped and undoped nanocarbons including graphene; fullerenes; nanodiamonds; carbon nanotubes and nanofibers; their synthesis and modification to produce catalysts. Special attention is paid to adsorption, as it impacts the application of these materials in various industrially relevant catalytic reactions discussed herein, in addition to photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. Written by leading experts in the area, this is the first book to provide a comprehensive view of the subject for the catalysis community.Trade Review"... this book is an excellent compendium ... on the concepts and main achievements of nanostructured carbon materials for catalysis, both as supports and metal-free catalysts. Each contribution in the book is well conceived, organized, and will serve not only the technically savvy, but also the casual reader interested in learning more about the arena of nanostructured carbon materials in catalysis. We heartily recommend this book to all readers who wish to gain a better understanding of nanostructured carbon materials surface properties and used in catalysis." -- An-Hui Lu, Dalian University of Technology, PR China * ChemCatChem *With the arrival of nanotechnologies in the 1980s, the explosive development of novel carbon materials has attracted attention from both academic and industrial communities. A huge number of scientific publications and patents on nanostructured carbon materials have been published over the last three decades and numerous of them have been devoted to their use in catalysis. Compared with the conventional carbon materials, such as activated carbons, nanostructured carbon materials exhibit improved properties for catalytic applications: controlled porosity, good thermal and mechanical properties, and high chemical stability along with an acceptable price. Recently, a book entitled Nanostructured Carbon Materials for Catalysis authored by Philippe Serp and Bruno Machado has been published by The Royal Society of Chemistry. As a volume of RSC Catalysis Series, this book presents a timely and focused review of the most recent research efforts encompassing the introduction of nanostructured carbon materials and their applications in catalysis. Many reviews and primary research papers on carbon materials have been published, but this book provides one of the first efforts to connect them in a very logical and organized way. It thus provides the reader with a holistic understanding of this area. Indeed, the book offers a collection of authoritative chapters on the fundamental understanding of carbon surface properties. This helps the reader to understand the challenges and potentials of the newly developing discipline. Generally, the book is divided into five sections: general description of the carbon allotropes and carbon materials; classification and structure of nanostructured carbon materials; introduction of adsorption behaviour and surface properties; applications of nanostructured carbon materials in catalysis, and engineering and safety issues. Each of these sections provides not only an up-to-date critical overview of a specific domain through examples from the literature, but what is in store for the future. For example, it summarizes well-established approaches for designed synthesis, and nanostructured carbon material size, and morphology control. It also discusses adsorption and surface chemistry of these materials, which have been often considered as "complex and poorly understood" by the catalysis community. Many applications are introduced, including the catalysis with supported metals for hydrogenation, oxidation, polymerization, and photocatalysis. Energy conversion and storage using carbon materials is described as well. Finally, the engineering considerations of carbon utilizations are provided, such as shaping, safety aspects and life cycle analysis. Overall, this book is an excellent compendium of the current on the concepts and main achievements of nanostructured carbon materials for catalysis, both as supports and metal-free catalysts. Each contribution in the book is well conceived, organized, and will serve not only the technically savvy, but also the casual reader interested in learning more about the arena of nanostructured carbon materials in catalysis. We heartily recommend this book to all readers who wish to gain a better understanding of nanostructured carbon materials surface properties and used in catalysis.
