Article Synopsis
- - The study presents a new method for efficiently performing cross-coupling reactions using dehydrogenative routes with solid atomic catalysts, which could make the process more economical and sustainable.
- - Researchers developed Cu-M dual-atom catalysts (using metals like Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) on hierarchical USY zeolite, achieving over 80% yields with the Cu-Co variant, showcasing its superior reactivity.
- - The improved effectiveness of the Cu-Co catalyst is due to its specially designed active sites that facilitate substrate co-adsorption and activation, and the efficient movement of organic substrates within the catalyst’s structure.
This article highlights the recent fundamental study in using achiral and chiral porous materials for the potential applications in asymmetric catalysis. Thanks to the new-generation synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SXRD) facilities, we reveal the presence of the unique 'chiral region' in achiral zeolites with the MFI topology. Both the inherent site-isolation effect of the active sites and internal confinement restraints in zeolites are critical for creating 'chiral regions' that can aid the design of more enantioselective catalytic reactions.
