Ru Supported on p-phthalic acid-Mn Derived from a Mn Metal-Organic Framework for Thermo- and Electrocatalytic Synthesis of Ethylene-D4 Glycol.

Deuterium-labeled polyols are one of the most extensive applied chemicals in biochemistry and biophysics. However, the deuteriation still is insufficient, exhibiting a low deuterated ratio and indistinct reaction mechanism. Herein, Ru supported on MnBCD (MnBDC, derived from Mn p-phthalic acid metal-organic framework) as nanocatalyst with an agglomerated sheet-type structure; this allows the possibility of achieving both thermo- and electrocatalytic hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) reaction.

Effects of manganese on the catalytic performance of CuCo catalysts for direct conversion of CO/CO to higher alcohols.

The catalytic conversion of CO or CO/CO mixtures to higher alcohols (HAs) using hydrogenation reactions remains challenging in C1 chemistry and also one of the most promising reactions for the utilization of non-petroleum resources. Here, the experiment and characterization tests of CuCoMn/AlO show that copper is much more dispersed on γ-AlO than cobalt, and the interaction between cobalt and Mn metals is stronger. And, mixed cobalt-manganese oxides are formed in the calcined catalyst, promoting the formation of higher alcohols.
