In the context of palladium-catalyzed guanylation of anilines herein, we have been able to characterize and isolate bis(anilino) and bis(guanidino)Pd(II) complexes using reaction conditions under which stoichiometric amounts of palladium salts are used. Characterization of these palladium complexes strongly supports a mechanistic proposal for...

NH3 production accounts for more than 1% of the total CO2 emissions and is considered one of the most energy-intensive industrial processes currently (T > 400 °C and P > 80 bars). The development of atmospheric-pressure N2 fixation to NH3 under mild conditions is attracting much attention, especially using additional renewable energy sources....

Reduced graphene oxide exhibits high activity as Fenton catalyst with HO. radical generation efficiency over 82 % and turnover numbers of 4540 and 15023 for phenol degradation and H2O2 consumption, respectively. These values compare favorably with those achieved with transition metals, showing the potential of carbocatalysts for the Fenton reaction.
