Journal Article
Bell, J., Poncet, A., Li, L., Zachariou, A., Whiston, K., & Beaumont, S. K. (2024). Phenol is its own selectivity promoter in low-temperature liquid-phase hydrogenation. Catalysis Today, 441, Article 114875. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cattod.2024.114875

Phenol hydrogenation is widely studied for selective production of the chemical intermediate cyclohexanone. A plethora of studies in the literature have reported catalysts aiming to achieve high selectivity compared to Pd/C. However, we demonstrate t...

Evidence for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-couplings catalyzed by ligated Pd3-clusters: from cradle to grave (2024)
Journal Article
Jeddi, N., Scott, N. W., Tanner, T., Beaumont, S. K., & Fairlamb, I. J. (2024). Evidence for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-couplings catalyzed by ligated Pd3-clusters: from cradle to grave. Chemical Science, 15(8), 2763-2777. https://doi.org/10.1039/D3SC06447F

Pdn clusters offer unique selectivity and exploitable reactivity in catalysis. Understanding the behavior of Pdn clusters is thus critical for catalysis, applied synthetic organic chemistry and greener outcomes for precious Pd. The Pd3 cluster, [Pd3(...
