Rhodium nanoparticles inside well-defined unimolecular amphiphilic polymeric nanoreactors: synthesis and biphasic hydrogenation catalysis

Triphenylphosphine-stabilised rhodium nanoparticles embedded in well-defined core-crosslinked micelles have been generated and used in aqueous biphasic catalysis. The conditions allowing core confinement and efficient catalyst recycle are outlined.

Quantitative Impact of Fluid vs. Solid Interfaces on the Catalytic Performance of Pickering Emulsions

Pickering emulsions (PEs) i. e. particle stabilized emulsions, are used as reaction environment in biphasic catalysis for the hydroformylation of 1-dodecene into tridecanal using the catalyst rhodium (Rh)-sulfoxantphos (SX). The...

A soluble porous organic polymer for highly efficient organic-aqueous biphasic catalysis and convenient reuse of catalysts

A novel soluble Azo-POP (named Azo-POP-7) was reported for the highly efficient organic-aqueous biphasic reduction reaction on 4-nitrophenol with good recyclability (12 cycles).

Synthesis of core–shell-structured mesoporous silica nanospheres with dual-pores for biphasic catalysis

A combination of a sol–gel process and oil–water biphase stratification was developed to fabricate dual-pore structured MSN.

Pickering gel emulsion stabilized by enzyme immobilized polymeric nanoparticles: a robust and recyclable biocatalyst system for biphasic catalysis

A Pickering interfacial biocatalyst system with a high water/oil volume ratio, super-stability, and easy recyclability is presented for biphasic enzyme catalysis.
