New Approaches to the Design of Advantageous Single-Site Catalysis

摘要

The merits of single-site heterogeneous catalysts, along with strategies for their systematic design and examples of their production for highly active catalysts, are described. Such catalysts may also be so--assembled as to yield regio-selective, shape--selective and enantioselective conversions of a range of organic compounds. It is also possible to construct bifunctional solid catalysts that have considerable scope for environmentally benign industrial processes by combining the advantages of separate red ox and Bronsted-acid active centres.
