Welcome Message Dear colleagues, I am pleased to welcome you to the 3rd edition of International Congress on Catalysis and Chemical Science. A glance through the list of scientific sessions planned by organizers reveals the amazing diversity of the works focused on Catalysis and Chemical Science. They range from advanced synthesis, to industrial catalysis, treating many applications. Photocatalysis covers a wide range of applications, such as pollutant removal, water splitting hydrogen production, dye-sensitized solar cell, disinfection, etc. Most of them are related to Environment and Energy fields, which are main priority areas of many government programs. Water treatment by photocatalysis has received special attention as a suitable technique for the removal of different pollutants (organic and inorganic ones) using solar light as energy source. Appearing as a low-cost, environmental friendly and sustainable technology for water treatment. Recent progresses explore different strategies to achieve high efficiencies and reduce the toxicity of wastewaters. They cover many options that include the study of the chemical nature of the catalyst, improve the use of solar energy or improve the technological properties of the catalysts, among others. Carolina Belver Autonoma University of Madrid Spain Welcome Message Dear all our attendees for Catalysis 2019, it is great honor and pleasure to write a few welcome notes. Asymmetric catalysis today makes unprecedented progress, since the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2001 was divided to Drs. William S. Knowles and Ryoji Noyori for their work on catalytic enantioselective hydrogenation reactions and to Dr. K. Barry Sharpless for his work on catalytic enantioselective oxidation reactions. In contrast, the development of asymmetric catalysis for carbon–carbon bond formation reactions is much more divergent. The development of green and sustainable catalysis is also one of the most important subjects in current organic synthesis. As you know, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2005 was awarded jointly to Drs. Yves Chauvin, Robert H. Grubbs and Richard R. Schrock for the development of the catalytic metathesis, and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2010 was awarded jointly to Drs. Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki for palladium-catalyzed cross couplings. The further development of highly efficient catalysts has been still demanded directed towards the green and efficient organic synthesis.

The activation of the systems by B(C6F5)3 resulted in the selective formation of head- to-tail alkene dimers in up to 93% yields. NMR studies of the reactions of Zr complexes with organoaluminum compounds (OACs) and boron activators showed the formation of Zr,Zr- and Zr,Al-hydride intermediates, for which diffusion coefficients, hydrodynamic radii, and volumes were estimated using the diffusion ordered spectroscopy DOSY. Bis-zirconium hydride clusters of type x[Cp ZrH ·Cp ZrHCl·ClAlR ]·yRnAl(C F ) − were found to be the key intermediates of alkene 2 2 2 2 6 5 3 n dimerization, whereas cationic Zr,Al-hydrides led to the formation of oligomers.

At present time there Pare two main theories of oil formation: organic (sedimentary-migration) and inorganic (abiotic). It is believed that n-alkanes formed from n-saturated fatty acids by decarboxylation. It is known that in the original organic matter (OM) fatty acids with an even number of carbon atoms in the molecule are prevail. In case sapropelic OM, low molecular weight acids (n-C16, n-C18 and n-C20) are mainly produced and if OM is humus higher molecular (n-C26, n-C28 and n-C30) are produced. It is important to note there are high molecular n-alkanes C23, C25, C27, C29, C31 and C33 in soil OM. Bacterial synthesis of n-alkanes could be accounted by decarboxylation with relatively high temperatures. However, this phenomenon doesn’t support by experiment. In this work we studied, if n-alkanes with an odd number of carbon atoms in the molecule formed by bacteria. The objects of study were the hydrocarbon aerobic bacteria Arthrobacter sp. RV and the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa RM, that are able to both aerobic and anaerobic growth in the process of denitrification.

These conceptual tools in which one or several fragments of the molecule are linked to metal grafted on the surface (M-H, M-R, M=CR2, M≡CR, M=O, M=NR) became the logical continuation of the abundant work published in the field of Surface Organometallic Chemistry (SOMC). To note, SOMC has produced new catalytic reactions (e.g. Ziegler Natta depolymerisation, alkane metathesis, non-oxidative methane coupling etc…) and had improved the activity or selectivity or life time of known ones. The catalytic mechanisms employs the concepts of molecular chemistry (organic, organometallic, coordination chemistry) to explain how bonds can be broken and reformed. In this context, the reactivity of “surface organometallic fragments” (SOMF) or Surface Coordination fragments (SCF) is pivotal to the outcome of the catalysis.

Finding an economic, active and selective catalyst for the production of alkenes through partial hydrogenation of alkynes is thus an important challenge. Mono- and bimetallic catalysts (palladium, ruthenium and nickel) were synthetized by the incipient wetness technique using gamma alumina and an activated carbon as supports. The catalysts were characterized by inductively coupled plasma, hydrogen chemisorption, temperature-programmed reduction and X-ray photoelec- tronic spectroscopy (XPS). The objective of this work is to study 1-heptyne-selective hydrogenation using supported catalysts influenced by different factors: (a) pretreat- ment reduction temperature, (b) reaction temperature, (c) type of support, (d) metal loading, (e) precursor salt and (f) addition of a second metal to monometallic palladium catalyst. The Lindlar commercial catalyst, commonly used in these types of reactions, was used for comparative purposes. XPS technique allowed verifying that the presence of electron-deficient species on the catalyst surface with high metal loading affects the conversion and selectivity to the desired product. Nevertheless, the influence of geometrical effects and/or mixed active sites in the catalysts, as well as metal-metal and metal-support interactions, cannot be neglected.

  • Terminal and Non Terminal Alkynes Partial Hydrogenation Catalyzed By
    Chapter 6 Terminal and Non Terminal Alkynes Partial Hydrogenation 8 Catalyzed by Some d Transition Metal Complexes in Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Systems Domingo Liprandi, Edgardo Cagnola, Cecilia Lederhos, Juan Badano and Mónica Quiroga Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/47742 1. Introduction The synthesis and manufacture of food additives, flavours and fragrances, as well as pharmaceutical, agrochemical and petrochemical substances, examples of fine and industrial chemicals, are closely related to selective alkyne hydrogenation [1,2]. Regarding alkyne partial hydrogenation, the main goal is to avoid hydrogenation to single bond and in the case of non-terminal alkynes is to give priority to the highest possible conversion and selectivity to the (Z)-alkene [3-5]. These kind of reactions are carried out by means of a catalytic process where control over conversion and selectivity can be exerted in different ways, e.g.: by varying a) the active species or b) the support, and/or by adding c) a promoter / a poison / a modifier, and finally, and not less important, by modifying the reaction temperature. Examples of factor b) are: mesoporous [6] and siliceous [7] materials, a pumice [8], carbons [9], and hydrotalcite [3]. Cases of factor c) are the typical Lindlar catalyst (palladium heterogenized on calcium carbonate poisoned by lead acetate or lead oxide, Pd-CaCO3-Pb) [10] and the presence of quinoline and triphenylphosphine [11,12]. Research on factors a) and c) include bi-elemental systems such as Ni-B, Pd-Cu, etc. [13-19]. An example of the effect of the reaction temperature is a paper by Choi and Yoon, who found that the selectivity to (Z)-alkene increases when the temperature decreases using a Ni catalyst [20].

It is known that ivy presents a lot of health benefits, like antibacterial, antimicrobial, anticancer properties or skin care, due to their components. So, the aim of our study was to characterize quantitative (polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids) and qualitative (saponins, proteins, steroids) screening for phytochemical compounds and antioxidant activity of the hydroalcoholic extract obtained by ivy leaves. The sample was analyzed by UV-VIS, FTIR, TLC techniques. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH method. The antimicrobial activity was demonstrated on bacteria, yeast and mold species. Keywords: analytical techniques, antioxidant activity, Hedera helix L., phytocompounds, phytosynthesis. Introduction Ivy (Hedera helix L.), is a genus containing approximately 15 species of climbing evergreen plants. On suitable surfaces, trees and rock faces, ivy has the ability to climb 25- 30 m above the ground and hold fast to vertical surfaces, like liana [XIA & al. 2011; LUTSENKO & al. 2010]. Hedera helix contains saponins, flavonoids, polyacetylenes and phenolic compounds (flavonoids, anthocyanins, coumarins and phenolic acids), aminoacids, steroids, vitamins, volatile and fixed oils, which are reported for medicinal benefits: antifungal, antispasmodic, antimicrobial, antimutagenic or cytotoxic activities [BUSECK & al.
