Summary: A bifunctional core-shell catalyst consisting of Ni nanoparticles encapsulated by an Al-doped mesoporous silica shell was reported, which achieved 100% conversion of vanillin and >99% yield of 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol.

Summary: The study found that mesoporous Co3O4 catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the selective oxidation of aromatic alkanes, particularly the conversion of ethylbenzene to acetophenone with a conversion rate of 42% and a selectivity of 90% at 120 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, it was discovered that mCo(3)O(4) followed a unique catalytic pathway of direct oxidation from aromatic alkanes to aromatic ketones, as opposed to the conventional stepwise oxidation to alcohols and then to ketones. This implied that mCo(3)O(4) had a higher kinetic favorability for the direct oxidation of ethylbenzene to acetophenone compared to non-selective oxidation on commercial Co3O4.

Summary: As a new type of metal-free carbon catalyst, sp(3)@sp(2)-hybridized bucky nanodiamond (ND) shows competitiveness in oxidative reactions compared to traditional metal catalysts. However, its application in reduction reactions has been rarely studied and the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, a series of sp(3)@sp(2)-hybridized bucky ND is developed to catalyze the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol, achieving a satisfactory metal-free catalytic performance and revealing the factors influencing the reaction activity. The oxygen functionality and sp(3)/sp(2) hybridized carbon ratio are identified as important factors. The similarity between carbon catalyzing reduction and oxidation reactions may provide a unified concept for redox reactions with carbon catalysts.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
