Palladium catalysts supported on different inorganic materials have been reported to catalyze C-C bond formation reactions and extensive review articles are available in the literature considering this issue. However, in order to increase the capacity of the supports to bind palladium as the active catalyst, the surface of a large number of solids has been modified with organic moieties. The negative aspects of these modifica Read More

Over the past few years, the use of heterogeneous catalytic systems has been preferred to homogeneous counterparts because of their practical benefits such as convenient separation from the reaction mixture and reusability of the catalysts in successive reaction runs which could improve the environmental, economic and sustainability factors of organic reactions. Thus, attempts have been directed to develop varied solid c Read More

The focus of this review is on recent advancements in C–H activation having been reported in the last 2– 3 years. Both light-induced methods with the use of ruthenium photoredox catalysts and Ru-catalyzed processes accomplished through C–H activation are treated. Various C–C bond forming reactions—among others, alkylation and alkenylation of arenes, biaryl synthesis, annulations with multiple couplings as well as C–heteroa Read More

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic materials with tailor-made binding sites for a variety of chemical substances. However, the optimization of MIPs formulation is time-consuming and labourintensive since the interactions presenting in the pre-polymerisation mixture are complicated. Therefore, chemometrics, in which mathematical or statistical methods are used to analyze data, has been regarded as a Read More
