A catalyst consisting of gold-palladium alloy nanocrystals supported on titanium dioxide significantly speeds up the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes under mild, solvent-free conditions (Science ...

Aldehydes are the next family of hydrocarbon derivatives. In the aldehyde family, most compounds are liquids, except for the one-carbon aldehyde, formaldehyde, which is a gas. Aldehydes have a wide ...

For more than a decade, a core set of chemists and chemical engineers has been developing novel reaction systems that combine the best features of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. The goal is ...
