The iron(II) complexes [Fe(bpy)](OTf) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine; OTf = CFSO) () and [Fe(bpydeg)](OTf) (bpydeg = , -bis(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl) [2,2'-bipyridine]-4,4'-dicarboxamide) (), the latter being a newly synthesized ligand, were employed as catalyst precursors for the oxidation of 1-phenylethanol with hydrogen peroxide in water, using either microwave or conventional heating. With the same oxidant and medium the oxidation of glycerol was also explored in the presence of and , as well as of two similar iron(II) complexes bearing tridentate ligands, ., [Fe(terpy)](OTf) (terpy = 2, 6-di(2-pyridyl)pyridine () and [Fe(bpa)](OTf) (bpa = bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)amine) (): in most reactions the major product formed was formic acid, although with careful tuning of the experimental conditions significant amounts of dihydroxyacetone were obtained. Addition of heterocyclic amino acids (, picolinic acid) increased the reaction yields of most catalytic reactions. The effect of such additives on the evolution of the catalyst precursors was studied by spectroscopic (NMR, UV-visible) and ESI-MS techniques.

Hollandite-type α-MnO exhibits exceptional promise in current industrial applications and in advancing next-generation green energy technologies, such as multivalent (Mg, Ca, and Zn) ion battery cathodes and aerobic oxidation catalysts. Considering the slow diffusion of multivalent cations within α-MnO tunnels and the catalytic activity at edge surfaces, ultrasmall α-MnO particles with a lower aspect ratio are expected to unlock the full potential. In this study, ultrasmall α-MnO (<10 nm) with a low aspect ratio (c/a ≈ 2) is synthesized using a newly developed alcohol solution process.

The efficient photocatalytic breakage of C-C bonds has great significance for the valorization of lignin into value-added aromatic chemicals, but remains challenging owing to their demanding depolymerization conditions and high bond dissociation energies. In this study, the Z-scheme heterojunction HPMoVO/g-CN (HPA/CN) photocatalyst was elaborately developed for the selective and efficient cleaving of C-C bonds in real lignin and its β-O-4 models under mild conditions. The construction of Z-scheme heterojunction with irregular sheet micromorphology not only enhanced the charge separation and redox abilities, but also broadened the light absorption range and promoted charge-to-surface transfer in two redox components.

The full utilization of lignocellulose involves two distinct catalytic routes: i) oxidative depolymerization of lignin and ii) acid/alkaline hydrolysis of hemicellulose and cellulose. To improve efficiency and reduce costs, constructing a single-cluster catalyst represents a desirable yet challenging strategy. Herein, triple-functional molecular polyoxometalates (POMs), NLLHVMoO (n = 1-6) were fabricated using N-lauroyl-l-lysine (NLL) and HVMoO as precursors.

The orbital modulation and surface lattice reconstruction represent an effective strategy to regulate the interaction between catalyst interface sites and intermediates, thereby enhancing catalytic activity and selectivity. In this study, the crystal surface of Au-K/CeO catalyst can undergo reversible transformation by tuning the coordination environment of Ce, which enables the activation of the C-H bond and the oxidative cleavage of the C and C-C bonds, leading to the cleavage of 2-phenoxy-1-phenylethanol. The t orbitals of Au 5d hybridize with the 2p orbitals of lattice oxygen in CeO via π-coordination, modulating the coordination environment of Ce 4 f and reconstructing the lattice oxygen in the CeO framework, as well as increasing the oxygen vacancies.

The selective cleavage of lignin C-C bonds is a highly sought-after process with the goal of obtaining low-molecular-weight aromatic chemicals from renewable resources. However, it remains a challenging task to achieve under mild conditions. Photocatalysis is a potentially promising approach to address this issue, but the development of efficient photocatalysts is still in progress.
