Cover Feature: Au−Pd Selectivity‐switchable Alcohol‐oxidation Catalyst: Controlling the Duality of the Mechanism using a Multivariate Approach (ChemCatChem 13/2019)

Abstract

The Cover Feature shows a catalyst comprised of an Au−Pd nanoalloy supported on SrCO3. In their Full Paper, Itaciara E. M. da S. Melo et al. demonstrate, that by changing the pressure of the system the benzyl alcohol selectivity can be modified. At 5 bar, the chemoselectivity is for the benzyl benzoate, and at 1 bar, high yields of benzaldehyde were obtained. In this way, a catalyst was prepared that is a real selectivity-switchable material. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Itaciara E. M. da S. Melo et al. on page 3022 in Issue 13, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201900512).
