While homogeneous metal halides have been shown to catalyze glucose to fructose isomerization, direct experimental evidence in support of the catalytically active species remains elusive.

Hydride complexes of Rh(I) represent highly effective homogeneous catalysts of the isomerization of (Z)-dimethyl butenedioate (I) yielding (E)-dimethyl butenedioate (II) in benzene at 25 °C. The reaction catalyzed by RhH(P(C6H5)3)4 is first order both in I and in the catalyst, k = 0.51 l mol-1 s-1, Ea = 48 kJ mol-1, ΔS≠ = -46 J mol-1 K-1. At high substrate-to-catalyst ratios the catalyst is inactivated, which consists mainly in deoxygenation and decarbonylation of the E- and Z-esters with formation of methyl 2-butenoate, triphenylphosphine oxide, and carbonylocomplexes of Rh(I). Statistical redistribution of deuterium during the isomerization of equimolar mixture of I and [2,3-2H2]-I and other experimental evidence are consistent with the addition-elimination hydride mechanism of the isomerization involving σ-alkyl rhodium complexes as the intermediates and RhH(P(C6H5)3)2 as the catalytically active species.

This paper focuses on the valorisation of solid residues obtained from the thermal treatment of sewage sludge. In particular, sewage sludge samples were collected from two waste water treatment plants (WWTPs) with different sludge line basic operations. After drying, sludges were heated up to 700 °C in appropriate ovens under diluted air (gasification) and inert (pyrolysis) atmospheres. The solids obtained, as well as the dried (raw) sludges, were characterised to determine their textural properties and chemical composition, including the speciation of their inorganic fraction. All the materials under study were employed as adsorbents/catalysts in H2S removal experiments at room temperature. It was found that, depending on the particular sludge characteristics, outstanding results can be achieved both in terms of retention capacities and selectivity. Some of the solids outperform commercially available sorbents specially designed for gaseous emissions control. In these adsorbents/catalysts, H2S is selectively oxidised to elemental sulphur most likely due to the presence of inorganic, catalytically active species. The role of the carbon-enriched part on these solids is also remarked.

AbstractThe importance of discovering the true catalytically active species involved in photocatalytic systems allows for a better and more general understanding of photocatalytic processes, which eventually may help to improve their efficiency. Bi2O3 has been used as a heterogeneous photocatalyst and is able to catalyze several synthetically important visible-light-driven organic transformations. However, insight into the operative catalyst involved in the photocatalytic process is hitherto missing. Herein, we show through a combination of theoretical and experimental studies that the perceived heterogeneous photocatalysis with Bi2O3 in the presence of alkyl bromides involves a homogeneous BinBrm species, which is the true photocatalyst operative in the reaction. Hence, Bi2O3 can be regarded as a precatalyst which is slowly converted in an active homogeneous photocatalyst. This work can also be of importance to mechanistic studies involving other semiconductor-based photocatalytic processes.

Cysteine levels are carefully regulated in mammals to balance metabolic needs against the potential for cytotoxicity. It has been postulated that one of the major regulators of intracellular cysteine levels in mammals is cysteine dioxygenase (CDO). Hepatic expression of this catabolic enzyme increases dramatically in response to increased cysteine availability and may therefore be part of a homeostatic response to shunt excess toxic cysteine to more benign metabolites such as sulfate or taurine. Direct experimental evidence, however, is lacking to support the hypothesis that CDO is capable of altering steady-state intracellular cysteine levels. In this study, we expressed either the wild-type (WT) or a catalytically inactivated mutant (H86A) isoform of CDO in HepG2/C3A cells (which do not express endogenous CDO protein) and cultured them in different concentrations of extracellular cysteine. WT CDO, but not H86A CDO, was capable of reducing intracellular cysteine levels in cells incubated in physiologically relevant concentrations of cysteine. WT CDO also decreased the glutathione pool and potentiated the toxicity of CdCl2. These results demonstrate that CDO is capable of altering intracellular cysteine levels as well as glutathione levels.
