Chemical Science, 16(6), 2648-2660. https://doi.org/10.1039/d4sc06382a

Atomic-scale changes can significantly impact heterogeneous catalysis, yet their atomic mechanisms are challenging to establish using conventional analysis methods. By using identical location scanning transmission electron microscopy (IL-STEM), whic...

Selective Excitation of Pd-decorated Titania Enables Consecutive C−C Couplings and Hydrogenations under Ambient Conditions (2023)
Journal Article
Whitehead, R. Z., Norman, L. T., Cull, W. J., Fernandes, J. A., & Lanterna, A. E. (2023). Selective Excitation of Pd-decorated Titania Enables Consecutive C−C Couplings and Hydrogenations under Ambient Conditions. ChemCatChem, 15(21), Article e202300528. https://doi.org/10.1002/cctc.202300528

Here, we discovered that Pd decorated TiO2 (Pd@TiO2) enables consecutive photocatalytic Sonogashira C−C coupling and hydrogenation steps by simply adjusting the excitation conditions of the reaction. We demonstrated that by-products containing iodine... Read More about Selective Excitation of Pd-decorated Titania Enables Consecutive C−C Couplings and Hydrogenations under Ambient Conditions.
