Selective conversion of glycerol to potassium lactate and hydrogen gas in water catalyzed by a ruthenium complex bearing a functional ligand [(p-cymene)Ru(2-OH-6-BzlmHpy)Cl][Cl]
The development of new-type of catalysts is an important topic for modern chemistry. Herein, a ruthenium complex bearing a functional ligand [(p-cymene)Ru(2-OH-6-BzlmHpy)Cl][Cl] was designed and synthesized. In the presence of catalyst (0.2 mol %) and KOH (1.5 equiv), the selective conversion of glycerol to potassium lactate was carried out at 150 °C in pure water for 24 h to afford potassium lactate in >99 % yield with >99 % selectivity. OH functional group in the ligand was found to be crucially important for catalytic activity of ruthenium complex. Furthermore, DFT calculations and mechanistic experiments were presented
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
