Abstract
Organic chemists have made and are still making enormous efforts toward the development of novel green catalytic synthesis. The necessity arises from the imperative of safeguarding human health and the environment, while ensuring efficient and sustainable chemical production. Within this context, electrocatalysis provides a framework for the design of new organic reactions under mild conditions. Undoubtedly, nanostructured materials are under the spotlight as the most popular and in most cases efficient platforms for advanced organic electrosynthesis. This Minireview focuses on the recent developments in the use of nanostructured electrocatalysts, highlighting the correlation between their chemical structures and resulting catalytic abilities, and pointing to future perspectives for their application in cutting-edge areas.

Guo Z, Ding X, Wang Y. How To Get Isocyanate? ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:11168-11180. [PMID: 38496933 PMCID: PMC10938423 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c10069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2023] [Revised: 02/11/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024]
Abstract
Isocyanate, a pivotal chemical intermediate to synthesize polyurethane with widespread applications in household appliances, automobiles, and construction, is predominantly produced via the phosgene process, which currently holds a paramount status in industrial isocyanate production. Nonetheless, concerns arise from the toxicity of phosgene and the corrosiveness of hydrogen chloride, posing safety hazards. The synthesis of isocyanate using nonphosgene methods represents a promising avenue for future development. This article primarily focuses on the nonphosgene approach, which involves the formation of carbamate through the reaction of nitro-amino compounds with carbon monoxide, dimethyl carbonate, and urea, among other reagents, subsequently leading to the thermal decomposition of carbamate to get isocyanate. This paper emphasizes the progress in catalyst development during the carbamate decomposition process. Single-component metal catalysts, particularly zinc, exhibit advantages such as high activity, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with a wide range of substrates. Composite catalysts enhance isocyanate yield by introducing a second component to adjust the active metal composition. The central research direction aims to optimize catalyst adaptation to reaction conditions, including temperature, pressure, time, and solvent, to achieve high raw material conversion and product yield.

Abstract
The electrochemical process of coupling electrocatalytic CO2 reduction and organic conversion reaction can effectively reduce the reaction overpotential and obtain value-added chemicals. Moreover, because of the diversity of substrates and the designability of coupling forms, more and more attention has been paid to this field. This review systematically summarizes the research progress of coupling electrolysis in recent years, (1) co-electrolysis of CO2 and organics at the cathode to obtain specific products with high selectivity, (2) replacing traditional anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with other valuable oxidation reactions to improve energy utilization efficiency and economic benefits of CO2 conversion, (3) in an electrolytic cell without membrane, the cathode and anode jointly transform CO2 and organics to redox products. We hope that the examples and insights on coupling electrolysis introduced in this review can inspire researchers to further explore and innovate in this direction.

Abstract
Environmental problem caused by carbon emission is of widespread concern. Involving CO2 as C1 resource into chemical synthesis is one of the most attractive ways for carbon recycling. Herein, the first example of host-guest composites featuring metal-organic framework (MOF)-encapsulated binuclear N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex, Co2 @MIL101, was developed with the molecularly dispersed [Co(IPr)Br]2 (μ-Br)2 (Co2 ) loading in the cage of MIL-101(Cr) via a "ligand-in-dimer-trap" strategy, which was comprehensively investigated through various techniques including synchrotron X-ray absorption, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and others. The noble-metal-free double-sites catalyst Co2 @MIL101 exhibited promising stability, activity, efficiency, reusability, and substrate adaptability for converting CO2 into various formamides with amines and hydrosilanes and achieved the best performance for one of the most useful formamides, N-methyl-N-phenylformamide (MFA), among the recyclable catalysts at ambient conditions, providing a reliable approach to successfully unify the advantages of both homo- and heterogeneous catalysts. Density functional theory calculations were applied to illustrate the superior activity of the binuclear NHC complex center as double-sites catalyst toward the activation of CO2 .

Abstract
The purification of crude terephthalic acid was performed by the hydrogenation of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde (4-CBA) over activated carbon (AC) supported Pd catalysts in industry. However, traditional Pd/AC catalysts usually suffer from low hydrogenation activity and poor thermal stability. Herein, nitrogen was incorporated into AC via a simple hydrothermal treatment of AC with urea as the nitrogen resource. The N doped AC contained pyridinic N, pyrrolic N, graphitic N and oxidized N. Wide characterizations revealed that N doping not only effectively improved the dispersion of Pd NPs but also increased the proportion of Pd0. In addition, N doping also enhanced the dissociative adsorption capacity of molecular hydrogen. More importantly, the resistance to sintering of Pd NPs was efficiently suppressed after N doping. As a result, N doped AC supported Pd showed both higher activity and better thermal stability than the N-free one. Pd on N doped activated carbon exhibited increased activity and stability in 4-CBA hydrogenation relative to Pd catalysts without N doping. Higher dispersion of Pd0 and facile activation of H2 accounted for the better activity of Pd/NC.![]()
