Abstract:
This study provided an effective strategy to construct dual-atom sites by solid-solution alloying. A slow synthesis methodology was established for the solid-solution preparations as dual-atom-site catalysts. The atomic-level homogeneous Pdx Rh1-x dual-atom-site catalysts were successfully synthesized over the whole composition range, as evidenced by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscope energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping measurements. The challenging morphology formation in the immiscible alloys was achieved by an energy-controlling process as the octahedral Rh-rich alloys. The Pd0.3 Rh0.7 dual-atom-site catalyst had unique surface states to activate the key reactants of CO and NO in the complex three-way catalytic reactions, and it performed significantly better than pure Rh.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...

Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
