Elucidating the correlations between the core structure of atomically precise nanoclusters and their catalytic activities is fundamentalfor exploring highly efficient nanocatalysts. Herein, a series of Ag-based nanoclusters protected by 2,4-dimethylphenylthiophenol (specifically AgPd(SPhMe) and AgM(SPhMe) where M = Ag, Pd, and Pt) were synthesized and deposited on TiO supports as heterogeneous catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes with NaBH as the reductant. It was found that AgPd(SPhMe) could spontaneously lose its ligands during catalysis, leading to the formation of polydispersed AgPd nanoparticles. This transformation endows the system with extraordinary activity for driving the hydrogenation of nitroarenes. However, the AgM (M = Ag, Pd, and Pt) systems, maintain their core structures during catalysis. They follow the generally reported ligand-mediated hydride-involved process, with catalytic activities depending on the central atom (Pt > Pd > Ag), which affects the hydride transferred from the nanoclusters to the reactant to regulate the catalysis.

Polydispersed Ag species-modified TiO samples with abundant oxygen vacancies were successfully prepared through the calcination of atomically precise Ag nanocluster-loaded TiO at an optimal temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. The ligands of the Ag nanoclusters are removed by extracting lattice oxygen from TiO during the calcination, leading to the formation of CO, SO, and HO vapor. This process simultaneously induces Ag species sintering on the surface of TiO.

Herein, we have established the formation of diaryl amide by aminocarbonylation of nitrobenzene with boronic acids. The method works in the catalytic presence of economical and commercially available CuI salt, which was significantly promoted by the FeSe(CO) cluster. Mo(CO) serves as a source of CO, and it also acts as a reductant with a combination of iron cluster.

High entropy alloys (HEAs) are promising heterocatalysts because of their unique physicochemical properties, but research on HEA-catalyzed tandem reactions is lacking. Moreover, limited research on HEAs for molecular transformation has hindered their development. Herein, an unsupported nanoporous HEA Al-Pt-Pd-Ru (HEANPore) prepared using a top-down dealloying method is reported.

Precisely Tailoring the Second Coordination Sphere of a Cobalt Single-Atom Catalyst for Selective Hydrogenation of Halogenated Nitroarenes.

The development of highly efficient and cost-effective nonprecious metal catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of halogenated nitroarenes is very appealing yet challenging. Here, we demonstrate that the hydrogenation activity and selectivity of Co single-atom catalyst (SAC) can be tuned by tailoring the structure of second coordination sphere via P doping. As revealed by synchrotron radiation-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy characterizations, such a P doping on N-coordinated Co SAC results in the unsymmetric Co-NP coordination structure.

This study developed a novel and highly active heterogeneous catalyst of nickel nanoparticles supported on β-cyclodextrin-grafted magnetic FeO nanoparticles (Ni@β-CD@FeO). β-CD, a biodegradable, biocompatible, green, and non-toxic cyclic oligosaccharide, was modified with FeO nanoparticles to create β-CD@FeO. The nickel was then immobilized onto this support.
