Abstract
The Front Cover shows the efficient hydrogenation of D-xylose to D-xylitol in water using a hydrotalcite (HT: Mg6Al2CO3(OH)16⋅4(H2O))-supported nickel phosphide nanoparticle (nano-Ni2P/HT), which can serve as a highly active, stable, and reusable catalyst. The combination of nano-Ni2P and HT plays a key role in the high catalytic performance, where nano-Ni2P activates H2, while HT acts as an electron donor to Ni and as an activator of the sugar carbonyl moiety, thereby facilitating the hydrogenation reaction. More information can be found in the Full Paper by T. Mitsudome and co-workers.
