One-dimensional (1D) polynuclear Cu(II) complex (1) derived from (5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide (H2L) is synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, ESI-MS, and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Its catalytic performance towards the solvent-free microwave-assisted peroxidative oxidation of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons under mild conditions is compared with that of dinuclear Cu(II) complexes (2 and 3) of the same ligand, previously reported as antiproliferative agents. Polymer 1 exhibits the highest activity, either for the oxidation of cyclohexane (leading to overall yields, based on the alkane, of up to 39% of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone) or towards the oxidation of toluene (selectively affording benzaldehyde up to a 44% yield), after 2 or 2.5 h of irradiation at 80 or 50 °C, respectively.

Previously prepared (J. Mol. Catalysis 11, 353 (1981)) polystyrene/ruthenium systems have been examined by EXAFS, TEM, IR and Raman spectroscopy. A structure based on small metal clusters bound to the polymer by single ruthenium-arene binding is proposed. The general validity of the approach has been confirmed by preparing a similar product when starting with poly-1- vinylnaphthalene in the place of polystyrene.Both systems are active for the hydrogenation of a large variety of unsaturated groups such as olefinic double bonds, mononuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, nitriles, nitroaromatic compounds and oximes. Catalytic activity, chemio- and stereoselectivity are discussed in terms of the proposed structure.

ABSTRACTWe investigated fullerene based catalysts for the conversion of methane into higher hydrocarbons. Fullerene soot, CO2 activated soot, and extracted soot as well as a Norit-A carbon were examined as catalysts for methane activation. The soot was found to easily activate the C-H bond of methane, allowing methane conversion at lower temperatures (lower by 250°C) than found under purely thermal conditions. Furthermore, soot catalysis appears to produce a minimal amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Extracted soot was found to have a lower selectivity for C2 hydrocarbons than the non-extracted soot, and the CO2 activation of the soot did not appear to dramatically alter the catalytic activity.

MoO3 is an effective catalyst for the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin-derived oxygenates to generate high yields of aromatic hydrocarbons without ring-saturated products.
