Abstract

The Front Cover illustrates the different reaction barriers that must be overcome in the phenol hydrogenation to either cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone. In their Full Paper, H. Chen et al. investigated the reaction mechanism of phenol hydrogenation catalyzed by Pd nanoparticles supported on a hollow box-shaped Ni-MOF in aqueous phase. Experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that phenol is first hydrogenated to cyclohexanone, which is then hydrogenated to cyclohexanol, and finally, cyclohexanol is hydrogenated to cyclohexane. More information can be found in the Full Paper by H. Chen et al. on page 2558 in Issue 12, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201800211).
