    Tantalizing tantalum hydride: Tantalum hydride supported on MCM-41 silica efficiently catalyzes the hydrogenolysis of alkanes at low temperature and pressure. The reactions proceed with good catalytic activity, turnover numbers, and stability, which leads to excellent regeneration and reuse potential. The reaction mechanism determined by using DFT calculations can be used to improve the activity and selectivity of the catalyst.

  2. Catalytic Hydrocracking—Mechanisms and Versatility of the Process

    Prof. Dr. Jens Weitkamp

    Article first published online: 7 FEB 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201100315

    Cracking the safe: The current mechanistic views of bifunctional hydrocracking of long-chain n-alkanes are discussed in detail with emphasis on the now widely accepted concept of ideal hydrocracking.

  3. The Catalytic Potential of Substituted Pyridines in Acylation Reactions: Theoretical Prediction and Experimental Validation

    Evgeny Larionov, Florian Achrainer, Jowita Humin and Prof. Dr. Hendrik Zipse

    Article first published online: 7 FEB 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201100313

    A grand theory of acylation: Several ground and transition state models are compared in their capacity to match kinetic data for the acylation of 1-ethinylcyclohexanol with acetic anhydride in chloroform. A large number of new catalysts based on the 3,4-diaminopyridine framework are synthesized and their catalytic efficiency is elucidated in the benchmark acetylation reaction.
