Abstract
The Cover Feature depicts the hydroxylation of benzene to phenol in the presence of a nickel pentadentate catalyst and hydrogen peroxide. The highly inert nature of the C─H bonds of benzene is represented by a spherical cage secured with a locked chain. However, the powerful nickel catalyst and oxidant act as a key, facilitating the selective oxidation of one of the C─H bonds to produce phenol. More information can be found in the Research Article by M. Sankaralingam and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.202401645).
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.
