Abstract
The selective conversion of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and mixtures of these two polymers to form products with high volume demand is urgently needed because current methods suffer from low selectivity, produce large quantities of greenhouse gases, or rely on expensive, single-use catalysts. The isomerizing ethenolysis of unsaturated polyolefins could be an energetically and environmentally viable route to propylene and isobutylene; however, noble-metal homogeneous catalysts and an unsaturated polyolefin are currently required and the process has been limited to PE. We show that the simple combination of tungsten oxide on silica and sodium on gamma-alumina transforms PE, PP, or a mixture of the two, including postconsumer forms of these materials, to propylene or a mixture of propylene and isobutylene in greater than 90% yield at 320°C without the need for dehydrogenation of the starting polyolefins.

Abstract
The large production volumes of commodity polyolefins (specifically, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and poly(vinyl chloride)), in conjunction with their low unit values and multitude of short-term uses, have resulted in a significant and pressing waste management challenge. Only a small fraction of these polyolefins is currently mechanically recycled, with the rest being incinerated, accumulating in landfills, or leaking into the natural environment. Since polyolefins are energy-rich materials, there is considerable interest in recouping some of their chemical value while simultaneously motivating more responsible end-of-life management. An emerging strategy is catalytic depolymerization, in which a portion of the C-C bonds in the polyolefin backbone is broken with the assistance of a catalyst and, in some cases, additional small molecule reagents. When the products are small molecules or materials with higher value in their own right, or as chemical feedstocks, the process is called upcycling. This review summarizes recent progress for four major catalytic upcycling strategies: hydrogenolysis, (hydro)cracking, tandem processes involving metathesis, and selective oxidation. Key considerations include macromolecular reaction mechanisms relative to small molecule mechanisms, catalyst design for macromolecular transformations, and the effect of process conditions on product selectivity. Metrics for describing polyolefin upcycling are critically evaluated, and an outlook for future advances is described.

Abstract
Continuing our investigation of catalytic oxo/imido heterometathesis as novel water-free method for C=N bond construction, we report here the application of classical transition metal oxides dispersed on silica (MOx/SiO2, M=V, Mo, W) as cheap, robust and readily available alternative to the catalysts prepared via Surface Organometallic Chemistry (SOMC). The oxide materials demonstrated activity in heterometathetical imidation of ketones, WO3/SiO2 being the most efficient. We also describe a new well-defined supported W imido complex (≡SiO)W(=NMes)2(Me2Pyr) (Mes=2,4,6-Me3C6H2, Me2Pyr=2,5-dimethylpyrrolyl) and characterize it with SOMC protocols, which allowed us to identify the position of W on the oxo/imido heterometathesis activity scale (Mo

Abstract
Converting cellulose (Cel) into ethyl levulinate (EL) is one of the promising strategies for supplying liquid fuels. In this paper, the prepared sulfonated P-W-modified N-containing carbon-based solid acid catalyst (PWNCS), in which the Polyaniline (PANI) was employed as N and C precursors, successfully converted Cel into EL under the water-ethanol medium. The characterization results demonstrated that a tiny addition of P increased the Brønsted acid sites (BAS) content and defective WO3 provided the Lewis acid sites (LAS), meanwhile, the sulfonation process did not change the fundamental structure but introduced the sulfonic groups to dramatically increase the acidic content. Therefore, under optimized reaction conditions, PWNCS realized about 100% Cel conversion and 71.61% of EL yield, furthermore, the selectivity of EL reached 89.14%. In addition, the effect of water on the reaction pathway of Cel to EL over PWNCS was proposed. The addition of water generally resulted in the hydration of defective WO3 to reduce the LAS and increase BAS, which significantly inhibited the side reactions of retro-aldol condensation (RAC) and subsequent etherification reactions during Cel conversion and then improved the selectivity of EL.

Abstract
As an atom-efficient strategy for the large-scale interconversion of olefins, heterogeneously catalysed olefin metathesis sees commercial applications in the petrochemical, polymer and speciality chemical industries1. Notably, the thermoneutral and highly selective cross-metathesis of ethylene and 2-butenes1 offers an appealing route for the on-purpose production of propylene to address the C3 shortfall caused by using shale gas as a feedstock in steam crackers2,3. However, key mechanistic details have remained ambiguous for decades, hindering process development and adversely affecting economic viability4 relative to other propylene production technologies2,5. Here, from rigorous kinetic measurements and spectroscopic studies of propylene metathesis over model and industrial WOx/SiO2 catalysts, we identify a hitherto unknown dynamic site renewal and decay cycle, mediated by proton transfers involving proximal Brønsted acidic OH groups, which operates concurrently with the classical Chauvin cycle. We show how this cycle can be manipulated using small quantities of promoter olefins to drastically increase steady-state propylene metathesis rates by up to 30-fold at 250 °C with negligible promoter consumption. The increase in activity and considerable reduction of operating temperature requirements were also observed on MoOx/SiO2 catalysts, showing that this strategy is possibly applicable to other reactions and can address major roadblocks associated with industrial metathesis processes.

Abstract
Direct formate fuel cells (DFFCs) have drawn tremendous attention because they are environmentally benign and have good safety. However, the lack of advanced catalysts for formate electrooxidation hinders the development and applications of DFFCs. Herein, we report a strategy of regulating the metal-substrate work function difference to effectively promote the transfer of adsorbed hydrogen (Had), thus enhancing formate electrooxidation in alkaline solutions. By introducing rich oxygen vacancies, the obtained catalysts of Pd/WO3-x-R show outstanding formate electrooxidation activity, exhibiting an extremely high peak current of 15.50 mA cm-2 with a lower peak potential of 0.63 V. In situ electrochemical Fourier transform infrared and in situ Raman measurements verify an enhanced in situ phase transition from WO3-x to HxWO3-x during the formate oxidation reaction process over the Pd/WO3-x-R catalyst. The results of experimental and density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that the work function difference (ΔΦ) between the metal (Pd) and substrate (WO3-x) would be regulated by inducing oxygen vacancies in the substrate, resulting in improved hydrogen spillover at the interface of the catalyst, which is essentially responsible for the observed high performance of formate oxidation. Our findings provide a novel strategy of rationally designing efficient formate electrooxidation catalysts.

Abstract
Exposure of a solution of the square pyramidal tungstacyclopentane complex W(NAr)(OSiPh3)2(C4H8) (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3) to ethylene at 22 °C in ambient (fluorescent) light slowly leads to the formation of propylene and the square pyramidal tungstacyclobutane complex W(NAr)(OSiPh3)2(C3H6). No reaction takes place in the dark, but the reaction is >90% complete in ∼15 min under blue LED light (∼450 nm λmax). The intermediates are proposed to be (first) an α methyl tungstacyclobutane complex (W(NAr)(OSiPh3)2(αMeC3H5)), and then from it, a β methyl version. The TBP versions of each can lose propylene and form a methylene complex, and in the presence of ethylene, the unsubstituted tungstacyclobutane complex W(NAr)(OSiPh3)2(C3H6). The W-Cα bond in an unobservable TBP W(NAr)(OSiPh3)2(C4H8) isomer in which the C4H8 ring is equatorial is proposed to be cleaved homolytically by light. A hydrogen atom moves or is moved from C3 to the terminal C4 carbon in the butyl chain as the bond between W and C3 forms to give the TBP α methyl tungstacyclobutane complex. Essentially, the same behavior is observed for W(NCPh3)(OSiPh3)2(C4H8) as for W(NAr)(OSiPh3)2(C4H8), except that the rate of consumption of W(NCPh3)(OSiPh3)2(C4H8) is about half that of W(NAr)(OSiPh3)2(C4H8). In this case, an α methyl-substituted tungstacyclobutane intermediate is observed, and the overall rate of formation of W(NCPh3)(OSiPh3)2(C3H6) and propylene from W(NCPh3)(OSiPh3)2(C4H8) is ∼20 times slower than in the NAr system. These results constitute the first experimentally documented examples of forming a metallacyclobutane ring from a metallacyclopentane ring (ring contraction) and establish how metathesis-active methylene and metallacyclobutane complexes can be formed and reformed in the presence of ethylene. They also raise the possibility that ambient light could play a role in some metathesis reactions that involve ethylene and tungsten-based imido alkylidene olefin metathesis catalysts, if not others.

Abstract
On-purpose synthetic routes for propylene production have emerged in the last couple of decades in response to the increasing demand for plastics and a shift to shale gas feedstocks for ethylene production. Propane dehydrogenation (PDH), an efficient and selective route to produce propylene, saw booming investments to fill the so-called propylene gap. In the coming years, however, a fluctuating light olefins market will call for flexibility in end-product of PDH plants. This can be achieved by combining PDH with propylene metathesis in a single step, propane to olefins (PTO), which allows production of mixtures of propylene, ethylene and butenes, which are important chemical building blocks for a.o. thermoplastics. The metathesis technology introduced by Phillips in the 1960s and mostly operated in reverse to produce propylene, is thus undergoing a renaissance of scientific and technological interest in the context of the PTO reaction. In this review, we will describe the state-of-the-art of PDH, propylene metathesis and PTO reactions, highlighting the open challenges and opportunities in the field. While the separate PDH and metathesis reactions have been extensively studied in the literature, understanding the whole PTO tandem-catalysis system will require new efforts in theoretical modelling and operando spectroscopy experiments, to gain mechanistic insights into the combined reactions and finally improve catalytic selectivity and stability for on-purpose olefins production.

A series of HPW/CeO2 catalysts generated from 12-tungstophosphoric acid, H3PW12O40 (HPW), supported on ceria and presenting different tungsten loadings (2, 4.5, 9, 16, and 40 wt% W) were prepared and characterized by N2 physisorption, XRD, IR, Raman, and UV-Vis. The different characterization techniques suggested that low loading of tungsten resulted in mainly isolated sites, while high tungsten loading produced polymeric or tungsten clusters. Those materials exhibited high activity in NH3-SCR of NOx into N2. Moreover, the series of experiments indicated that low loading in tungsten (2% HPW/CeO2) displayed the highest activity with a remarkable N2 selectivity (99%) at medium-high temperature (300–515 °C), owing to the high amount of monomeric tungstate coverage on the catalyst surface.

Olefin metathesis: what have we learned about homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts from surface organometallic chemistry? Chem Sci 2021; 12:3092-3115.

Abstract
Since its early days, olefin metathesis has been in the focus of scientific discussions and technology development. While heterogeneous olefin metathesis catalysts based on supported group 6 metal oxides have been used for decades in the petrochemical industry, detailed mechanistic studies and the development of molecular organometallic chemistry have led to the development of robust and widely used homogeneous catalysts based on well-defined alkylidenes that have found applications for the synthesis of fine and bulk chemicals and are also used in the polymer industry. The development of the chemistry of high-oxidation group 5-7 alkylidenes and the use of surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) principles unlocked the preparation of so-called well-defined supported olefin metathesis catalysts. The high activity and stability (often superior to their molecular analogues) and molecular-level characterisation of these systems, that were first reported in 2001, opened the possibility for the first direct structure-activity relationships for supported metathesis catalysts. This review describes first the history of SOMC in the field of olefin metathesis, and then focuses on what has happened since 2007, the date of our last comprehensive reviews in this field.

Abstract
For disordered catalysts such as atomically dispersed "single-atom" metals on amorphous silica, the active sites inherit different properties from their quenched-disordered local environments. The observed kinetics are site-averages, typically dominated by a small fraction of highly active sites. Standard sampling methods require expensive ab initio calculations at an intractable number of sites to converge on the site-averaged kinetics. We present a new method that efficiently estimates the site-averaged turnover frequency (TOF). The new estimator uses the same importance learning algorithm [Vandervelden et al., React. Chem. Eng. 5, 77 (2020)] that we previously used to compute the site-averaged activation energy. We demonstrate the method by computing the site-averaged TOF for a simple disordered lattice model of an amorphous catalyst. The results show that with the importance learning algorithm, the site-averaged TOF and activation energy can now be obtained concurrently with orders of magnitude reduction in required ab initio calculations.

Abstract
Despite the importance of the heterogeneous tungsten-oxo-based olefin metathesis catalyst (WO3/SiO2) in industry, understanding of its initiation mechanism is still very limited. It has been proposed that reduced W(IV)-oxo surface species act as precatalysts. In order to understand the reactivity and initiation mechanism of surface W(IV)-oxo species, we synthesized a well-defined silica-supported W(IV)-oxo species, (≡SiO)WO(OtBuF6)(py)3 (F6@SiO2-700; OtBuF6 = OC(CH3)(CF3)2; py = pyridine), via surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC). F6@SiO2-700 was shown to be highly active in olefin metathesis upon removal of pyridine ligands through the addition of tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (B(C6F5)3) or thermal treatment under high vacuum. The metathesis activity toward olefins with and without allylic C-H groups, namely β-methylstyrene and styrene, respectively, was investigated. In the case of styrene, we demonstrated the role of surface OH groups in initiating metathesis activity. We proposed that the presence of strong Brønsted acidic OH sites, which likely arises from the presence of adjacent W sites in the catalyst as revealed by 15N-labeled pyridine adsorption, can assist styrene metathesis. In contrast, initiation of olefins with allylic C-H groups (e.g., β-methylstyrene) is independent of the surface OH density and likely involves an allylic C-H activation mechanism, like the molecular W(IV)-oxo species. This study indicates that initiation mechanisms depend on the olefinic substrates and reveals the synergistic effect of Brønsted acidic surface sites and reduced W(IV) sites in the initiation of olefin metathesis.

Abstract
The effect of dynamic reorganization and confinement of isolated TiIV catalytic centers supported on silicates is investigated for olefin epoxidation. Active sites consist of grafted single-site calix[4]arene-TiIV centers or their calcined counterparts. Their location is synthetically controlled to be either unconfined at terminal T-atom positions (denoted as type-(i)) or within confining 12-MR pockets (denoted as type-(ii); diameter ∼7 Å, volume ∼185 Å3) composed of hemispherical cavities on the external surface of zeotypes with *-SVY topology. Electronic structure calculations (density functional theory) indicate that active sites consist of cooperative assemblies of TiIV centers and silanols. When active sites are located at unconfined type-(i) environments, the rate constants for cyclohexene epoxidation (323 K, 0.05 mM TiIV, 160 mM cyclohexene, 24 mM tert-butyl hydroperoxide) are 9 ± 2 M-2 s-1; whereas within confining type-(ii) 12-MR pockets, there is a ∼5-fold enhancement to 48 ± 8 M-2 s-1. When a mixture of both environments is initially present in the catalyst resting state, the rate constants reflect confining environments exclusively (40 ± 11 M-2 s-1), indicating that dynamic reorganization processes lead to the preferential location of active sites within 12-MR pockets. While activation enthalpies are Δ H‡app = 43 ± 1 kJ mol-1 irrespective of active site location, confining environments exhibit diminished entropic barriers (Δ S‡app = -68 J mol-1 K-1 for unconfined type-(i) vs -56 J mol-1 K-1 for confining type-(ii)), indicating that confinement leads to more facile association of reactants at active sites to form transition state structures (volume ∼ 225 Å3). These results open new opportunities for controlling reactivity on surfaces through partial confinement on shallow external-surface pockets, which are accessible to molecules that are too bulky to benefit from traditional confinement within micropores.

Abstract
In alkene metathesis, while group 6 (Mo or W) high-oxidation state alkylidenes are accepted to be key reaction intermediates for both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, it has been proposed that low valent species in their +4 oxidation state can serve as precatalysts. However, the activation mechanism for these latter species-generating alkylidenes-is still an open question. Here, we report the syntheses of tungsten(IV)-oxo bisalkoxide molecular complexes stabilized by pyridine ligands, WO(OR)2py3 (R = CMe(CF3)2 (2a), R = Si(O tBu)3 (2b), and R = C(CF3)3 (2c); py = pyridine), and show that upon activation with B(C6F5)3 they display alkene metathesis activities comparable to W(VI)-oxo alkylidenes. The initiation mechanism is examined by kinetic, isotope labeling and computational studies. Experimental evidence reveals that the presence of an allylic CH group in the alkene reactant is crucial for initiating alkene metathesis. Deuterium labeling of the allylic C-H group shows a primary kinetic isotope effect on the rate of initiation. DFT calculations support the formation of an allyl hydride intermediate via activation of the allylic C-H bond and show that formation of the metallacyclobutane from the allyl "hydride" involves a proton transfer facilitated by the coordination of a Lewis acid (B(C6F5)3) and assisted by a Lewis base (pyridine). This proton transfer step is rate determining and yields the metathesis active species.

Abstract
Supported W catalysts were extensively investigated for the conversion of 1-butene and ethylene into propene by metathesis reaction. The performance of catalysts was compared by using unsupported WO3, pure SBA-15, supported W/SBA-15 with different W loadings, varied calcination temperatures, and by changing the pretreatment gas atmosphere. The above catalytic results could be employed to deduce the reaction mechanism combined with characterization techniques such as BET, XRD, UV-vis DRS, Raman, pyridine-IR, XPS, and H2-TPR. In this study, over the investigated W/SBA-15 catalysts, the results showed that the silanol group (Si-OH) in SBA-15 could act as a weak Brønsted acid site for 1-butene isomerization. However, the metathesis reaction was catalyzed by W-carbene species. The initially formed W-carbenes (W[double bond, length as m-dash]CH-CH3) as active sites were derived from the partially reduced isolated tetrahedral WO x species which contained W[double bond, length as m-dash]O or W-OH bonds in W5+ species as corresponding Lewis or Brønsted acid sites. Furthermore, the W/SBA-15 being pretreated by H2O led to a complete loss of the metathesis activity. This was mainly due to the sintering of isolated WO x species to form an inactive crystalline WO3 phase as demonstrated by XRD patterns. On the other hand, the reduction of WO x species remarkably suppressed by H2O pretreatment was also responsible for the metathesis deactivation. This study provides molecular level mechanisms for the several steps involved in the propene production, including 1-butene isomerization, W-carbene formation, and metathesis reaction.

Abstract
A relatively new class of three-dimensional ordered mesoporous silicates, KIT-6, incorporated with Earth-abundant metals such as Zr, Nb, and W (termed as M-KIT-6), show remarkable tunability of acidity and metal dispersion depending on the metal content, type, and synthetic method. The metal-incorporation is carried out using one-pot synthesis procedures that are amenable to easy scale-up. By such tuning, M-KIT-6 catalysts are shown to provide remarkable activity and selectivity in industrially-significant reactions, such as alcohol dehydration, ethylene epoxidation, and metathesis of 2-butene and ethylene. We review how the catalytic properties of M-KIT-6 materials may be tailored depending on the application to optimize performance.
