Abstract
The Front Cover depicts the stages ethanol follows during its conversion to n-butanol over a bifunctional catalyst, and the use of probe molecules and spectroscopy to interrogate catalytic sites. Applying a combination of in-situ FTIR, CO2-TPD, and operando titration, Wei Tian and José Herrera use carbon dioxide and acetic acid to identify and quantify catalytically relevant functionalities responsible for C–C couplings. Their findings indicate n-butanol formation catalyzed by MgAlO systems is regulated by α-carbon proton abstraction taking place only over strong basic centers. More information can be found in the Research Article by Wei Tian and José E. Herrera (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.202400225).
期刊介绍：
With an impact factor of 4.495 (2018), ChemCatChem is one of the premier journals in the field of catalysis. The journal provides primary research papers and critical secondary information on heterogeneous, homogeneous and bio- and nanocatalysis. The journal is well placed to strengthen cross-communication within between these communities. Its authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories across the world. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies, and is supported by the German Catalysis Society.
