Title: Liquid-Phase Modeling in Heterogeneous Catalysis

Abstract

The notion that solvents can affect the chemical reactivity has been prevalent in the homogeneous catalysis community, going back as far as 1863.(1) Remarkable changes in reaction rate have been reported in the seminal work of Menschutkin, who demonstrated a change in reaction rate constant up to a factor of 700 as a function of the solvents employed for the reaction of triethylamine with ethyl iodide at 373 K.(2) It is well-known nowadays that solvents can affect the reaction rate, reaction mechanism, and selectivity of chemical reactions occurring in condensed phase. While solvent effects usually lead to changes in reaction rates of up to 3 orders of magnitude, rate increases of 9 orders of magnitude have been reported.(3, 4) In homogeneous metal catalysis such as hydroformylation, hydrogenation, and cross-coupling reactions, solvent effects have been studied systematically and exploited for industrial applications.(5) Substantial solvent effects have also been reported in heterogeneous catalysis for several hydrogenation,(6-9) oxidation,(10-12) and electrochemical reactions (where electric field effects lead in addition to an electric double layer(13-16)). However, in heterogeneous catalysis, systematic studies of solvation effects are rare, and solvent effects are generally not well understood. In this context, we note that liquid-phase processing is highly desirablemore »« less

In this context, we note that liquid-phase processing is highly desirable for process cost reduction and high product selectivity for the heterogeneously catalyzed conversion of highly functionalized lignocellulosic biomass, because the feedstocks contain significant amounts of water, are produced in aqueous-phase environments, and reactant molecules are highly water-soluble, reactive, and thermally unstable.(17-19) Processing at relatively low temperatures in condensed phase has therefore the potential to (1) minimize undesirable thermal degradation reactions, (2) increase the targeted product selectivity, and (3) facilitate the product separation from excess water because reaction products often contain less oxygen and are therefore less hydrophilic than the feed streams.},

Supported Dendrimer-Encapsulated Metal Clusters: Toward Heterogenizing Homogeneous Catalysts

Journal Article Ye, Rong ; Zhukhovitskiy, Aleksandr V. ; Deraedt, Christophe V. ; ... - Accounts of Chemical Research

Recyclable catalysts, especially those that display selective reactivity, are vital for the development of sustainable chemical processes. Among available catalyst platforms, heterogeneous catalysts are particularly well-disposed toward separation from the reaction mixture via filtration methods, which renders them readily recyclable. Furthermore, heterogeneous catalysts offer numerous handles—some without homogeneous analogues—for performance and selectivity optimization. These handles include nanoparticle size, pore profile of porous supports, surface ligands and interface with oxide supports, and flow rate through a solid catalyst bed. Despite these available handles, however, conventional heterogeneous catalysts are themselves often structurally heterogeneous compared to homogeneous catalysts, which complicates efforts to optimizemore »« less

Catalysis Science Initiative: Catalyst Design by Discovery Informatics

Technical Report Delgass, William Nicholas ; Abu-Omar, Mahdi ; Caruthers, James ; ...

Catalysts selectively enhance the rates of chemical reactions toward desired products. Such reactions provide great benefit to society in major commercial sectors such as energy production, protecting the environment, and polymer products and thereby contribute heavily to the country’s gross national product. Our premise is that the level of fundamental understanding of catalytic events at the atomic and molecular scale has reached the point that more predictive methods can be developed to shorten the cycle time to new processes. The field of catalysis can be divided into two regimes: heterogeneous and homogeneous. For the heterogeneous catalysis regime, we have usedmore »« less

Hydrogenation of carbon monoxide to methanol and ethylene glycol by homogeneous ruthenium catalysts

Journal Article Dombek, B.D. - J. Am. Chem. Soc.; (United States)

Hydrogenation studies of carbon monoxide to methanol and ethylene glycol by homogeneous ruthenium catalysts in several types of solvents are reported. In contrast to previous reports of catalysis under extreme pressures, these studies were conducted at pressures of 340 atm and below. Overall rates of carbon monoxide hydrogenation in these catalytic reactions (in several types of solvents) are nearly equal to those recently reported for a similar ruthenium system operated at much higher pressure - for example, a rate of 8.3 x 10/sup -3/ turnovers s/sup -1/ was observed, as compared with a reported rate (to methanol and methyl formate)more »« less
