Simple s-block metal hydrides for selective hydrogenation of quinoline compounds

Abstract

Quinoline activates alkali or alkaline-earth metal hydrides (AMHs) in situ to form organometal hydride species that catalyze selective hydrogenation of quinoline to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline via a mechanism distinct from transition-metal catalysis.

Heterogeneous catalytic and chemical looping routes to N₂ activation: general discussion

Strategically designed catalysts for ammonia synthesis under mild conditions: recent advances and challenges

Abstract

Ammonia is envisioned to play a pivotal role in the changing energy landscape, with immense potential to promote carbon-neutrality and circularity in the energy economy.

Hydride synthesis of thermoelectric skutterudites (Ba,Sr)Fe_3±xNi_1±xSb₁₂ optimized via design of experiments

Abstract

Diffusion-enhanced hydride synthesis enables the modern solidstate chemist to achieve their Hephaestian aspirations through design of experiments methods and the mechanistic knowledge gleaned from in situ powder X-ray diffraction data.

Nitrogen fixation by alkali and alkaline earth metal hydrides assisted by plasma

Abstract

The chemical behaviors of alkali and alkaline earth metal hydrides under nitrogen plasma differ significantly from one another, exhibiting an ammonia production trend that contrasts with that observed under thermal conditions.
