Macrocyclic Ligands and Their Complexes

Los Alamos National Laboratory has recently developed novel families of ligands, and their derived molecular catalysts, in particular for the chemical reduction of carbon–oxygen bonds contained within both renewable and oil-based feedstocks.

Description
Summary:Los Alamos National Laboratory has recently developed novel families of ligands, and their derived molecular catalysts, in particular for the chemical reduction of carbon–oxygen bonds contained within both renewable and oil-based feedstocks. This new generation of highly efficient, selective, and more robust homogeneous (molecular) catalysts for the hydrogenation of ketones, carboxylic and carbonic acid derivatives and CO 2 is required to unlock the economic potential of biofeedstock based conversions to produce useful products.
