Abstract:
The electronic structure of catalyst supports strongly influences the activity and selectivity of supported metal nanoparticles. Unlike rigid inorganic supports, organic polymers enable precise tuning of the electronic environment through functional design. Here, this tunability regulates Pt oxidation states, producing distinct catalytic behaviour, particularly in low-temperature liquid-phase reactions.

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...
