The benefits of transitioning to chemical and material circularity are readily apparent.
However, identifying and develo** the necessary chemical transformations for platform …

Hydrogen obtained from renewable sources such as water and alcohols is regarded as an
efficient clean-burning alternative to non-renewable fuels. The use of the so called bio-H2 …

The β-alkylation of secondary alcohols has been successfully accomplished using earth
abundant, inexpensive and environmentally benign 3d transition metal chromium salt CrCl3 …

A series of NNN pincer–ruthenium complexes of the type (R2NNN) RuCl2 (CH3CN) based
on bis (imino) pyridine ligands were synthesized and characterized. These pincer ruthenium …

Herein, we report a well-defined pincer manganese complex supported by PNP ligands for
the conversion of glycerol to sodium lactate with dihydrogen liberation. Sodium lactate could …

Ethanol is feed-agnostic and is hence currently one of the most preferred renewable
resources for manufacturing essential industrial commodities globally. Herein, we present …

A series of manganese carbonyl complexes based on bis (imino) pyridine ligands of the type
R2NNN (R= Cy, i Pr, Ph, p-FC6H4) were synthesized. While the complex appears to be an …

Lactic acid is a high-value-added chemical with large production, which is used in many
industries including the production of pyruvic and acrylic acids. Lactic acid is largely …

The upgradation of feed agnostic bio-ethanol to fuel grade n-butanol was accomplished via
the pincer-ruthenium catalyzed Guerbet reaction under microwave irradiation (75 W, 110° C) …

Activated carbon-supported CuO catalysts were prepared by an ammonia evaporation
method and applied to catalyze the selective oxidation of glycerol to lactic acid. The effects …
