Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Catalysis is an important process in organic chemistry and has developed impressively over the last 20 years. This field was initially dominated by noble metals such as palladium, rhodium, iridium or ruthenium. However, due to economic constraints and environmental concerns, the replacement of noble metals by Earth-abundant ones is nowadays a hot topics in chemistry. Recent reviews highlight that Earth-abundant metal-based complexes are able to catalyze many reactions such as oxidation, coupling reaction, and polymerization. This Issue will cover the following topics:

  • Hydrogenation of alkenes and polarized bonds (C=O, C=N, esters, amides, reductive amination). Reduction is an important chemical transformation frequently used in various domains related to both academic activities and industrial applications. The two classical protocols for reduction are based either on the use of a stoechiometric amount of hydride reagents or catalytic hydrogenation. The former method suffers from severe drawbacks such as the toxicity and the wastes it generates. Taking into account the ecological point of view, the latter is more promising as the reducing agent is molecular hydrogen.
  • Hydrosilylation and hydroboration of alkenes and alkynes.
  • Addition of HX on alkenes or alkynes (hydroamination, hydrophosphination, …)
  • Hydroacylation, hydrocarboxylation of alkenes.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Iron-based CO2 catalysts have shown promise as a viable route to the production of olefins from CO2 and H2 gas. However, these catalysts can suffer from low conversion and high methane selectivity, as well as being particularly vulnerable to water produced during the reaction. In an effort to improve both the activity and durability of iron-based catalysts on an alumina support, copper (10–30%) has been added to the catalyst matrix. In this paper, the effects of copper addition on the catalyst activity and morphology are examined. The addition of 10% copper significantly increases the CO2 conversion, and decreases methane and carbon monoxide selectivity, without significantly altering the crystallinity and structure of the catalyst itself. The FeCu/K catalysts form an inverse spinel crystal phase that is independent of copper content and a metallic phase that increases in abundance with copper loading (>10% Cu). At higher loadings, copper separates from the iron oxide phase and produces metallic copper as shown by SEM-EDS. An addition of copper appears to increase the rate of the Fischer–Tropsch reaction step, as shown by modeling of the chemical kinetics and the inter- and intra-particle transport of mass and energy.
