Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed reactions are increasingly recognized as essential in synthetic organic chemistry, due to their occurrence under relatively mild conditions. In this regard, molybdenum (Mo) complexes are considered as an attractive class of catalysts because of their rich redox activities, abundance and low toxicity. Molybdenum catalysis has seen significant advancements in recent years, leading to a diverse range of useful transformations for the activation of E-H bonds. Recent developments in Mo catalysis focusing on the hydrogenation reaction are highlighted in this perspective. Additionally, the synthesis of Mo-based catalysts and the reaction mechanism for hydrogenation are also discussed.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
