ASYMMETRIC HOMOGENEOUS HYDROGENATION OF PROCHIRAL SUBSTRATES MEDIATED THROUGH CARBOXYLIC ACID AND CARBAMIC ACID METAL-BINDING FUNCTIONAL GROUPS
(2016-01-11)The need for enantiopure chiral compounds has driven the development of asymmetric synthesis, and more specifically asymmetric catalysis. The ability to selectively produce one enantiomer versus another has been a significant ... -
CO2 fixation : catalytic synthesis of β-hydroxycarboxylic acids
(2008-08-27)Although carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas is a serious environmental concern, it remains a valuable C1 source if viable methods are available for its conversion into useful products. Herein, we present recent progress ... -
Hydrogen Fuel Technologies for Vehicular Transportation
(2012-05-23)With continually increasing concern over anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions and their effect on global climate, the search for alternative fuels, especially for mobile applications such as in vehicles, is of immediate ... -
Hydrogenation of CO2 with the use of non-precious metal complexes
(2015-02-05)Hydrogenation of CO2 to formic acid is usually performed with precious metal catalysts. However, due to the cost and scarcity of precious metals, recent research has focused instead on first row transition metals. Of ... -
Membrane Electrode Assembly Fabrication and Test Method Development for a Novel Thermally Regenerative Fuel Cell
(2012-10-13)A test system for the performance analysis of a novel thermally regenerative fuel cell (TRFC) using propiophenone and hydrogen as the oxidant and fuel respectively was designed and built. The test system is capable of ...
