Abstract
The Front Cover shows how, like an octopus, the catalyst works with many components simultaneously to reach its target. New RuPOP pincer catalysts upgrade ethanol to butan-1-ol. Adding to the mechanistic understanding of ethanol upgrading, M. Nielsen and co-workers show in their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.202500700) that catalysts void of the Noyori unit are fully capable of catalysing the reaction; this contrasts with the common understanding in the community of the role of the catalyst.
期刊介绍:
With an impact factor of 4.495 (2018), ChemCatChem is one of the premier journals in the field of catalysis. The journal provides primary research papers and critical secondary information on heterogeneous, homogeneous and bio- and nanocatalysis. The journal is well placed to strengthen cross-communication within between these communities. Its authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories across the world. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies, and is supported by the German Catalysis Society.
