Electron- and Hydride-Reservoir Organometallics as Precursors of Catalytically Efficient Transition Metal Nanoparticles in Water

Chemistry : a European Journal
Fangyu FuDidier Astruc

Abstract

Nanoparticles (NPs) are actively investigated for their efficient use in catalysis, but their means of synthesis is a key factor influencing their catalytic properties owing to surface coverage with byproducts. Here, neutral electron- and hydride-rich late transition metal organometallics are compared for the synthesis of late transition metal NPs in the presence of poly(vinylpirolidone) (PVP). In particular, the effect of electron-reservoir donors, hydride-reservoir donors, and electron-rich dimers yielding NPs electrostatically stabilized by cationic organometallics are compared in terms of NP size and catalytic efficiency. The catalytic reactions scrutinized with excellent results include 4-nitrophenol reduction to 4-aminophenol by NaBH4 for the AuNPs and PdNPs, and Suzuki-Miyaura reactions for the PdNPs. The nature of the reductant has more influence on the NP size in the case of AuNPs than PdNPs, and the best NP catalysts are obtained with hydride-reservoir complexes as reductants. The less bulky hydride donors are superior, with the complex [CoCp(ŋ4 -C5 H6 )] (Cp=ŋ5 -C5 H5 ) giving the NPs with the best catalyst efficiencies for both reactions. Protection of the NP cores by the organometallic sandwich salt is found to be ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
