On-column reaction gas chromatography (ocRGC) was successfully utilized as high-throughput platform for monitoring of the conversion and selectivity of hydrogenation of 5-methylfurfural catalyzed by polymer-stabilized Ru and Pd nanoparticles. We were able to elucidate the effect of various reaction conditions, mainly together with the catalyst loading on the conversion rate and the selectivity of the reaction. Our strategy yields significant improvements in reaction analysis times and cost effectiveness in comparison to standard methods. We are able to demonstrate that ocRGC approach provides valuable information about the reaction system that gives scientists a tool to design suitable catalytic systems for enhanced sustainable chemistry in the future.

Realizing high selectivity for producing biodegradable 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran (BHMTHF) for renewable polymers from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) biomass through ring hydrogenation on single-atom catalysts poses a considerable challenge due to the complexity of HMF functional groups and the difficulty of H dissociation. We developed a detailed reaction mechanism based on molecular dynamics (AIMD) and quantum mechanics (QM) to find that Ru single-atom catalysts can simultaneously dissociate H and perform the ring hydrogenation of biomass-derived 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) to produce biodegradable BHMTHF, with a free energy barrier of 0.82 eV.

Normally, ligands like amines are removed by diverse pre-treatment procedures before use in heterogeneous catalysis as amines are considered as a catalyst poison. However, a possible beneficial influence of these surface modifiers on hydrogenation reactions, which is known from spectator species on metal surfaces, is often neglected.

A W C cluster was used to model a W C catalyst with the armchair model of activated carbon support, noted as W C /AC. Over W C /AC, the mechanism for the hydrogenation of both -H OH and -CHO groups in 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was theoretically studied in tetrahydrofuran at GGA-PBE/DNP level. 5-Methylfurfural was the major product from only hydrodehydration of the -CH OH group, whereas 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran was the minor product from the hydrogenation of both -CH OH and -CHO groups.

Currently, low intimacy between hydrogenation sites and acidic sites causes unsatisfactory catalytic activity and selectivity for the synthesis of 2,5-hexanedione from C furan aldehydes (5-methylfurfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural). Herein, iodine(I) modification of Pd-supported catalysts (such as PdI/Al O and PdI/SiO ) was investigated to modulate the hydrogenation sites and acidic sites. Unlike Pd catalysts that produced 71.
