The most common catalyst in the Haber-Bosch process for the hydrogenation of dinitrogen
(N2) to ammonia (NH3) is an iron surface promoted with potassium cations (K+), but soluble …

The promotion of hydrogenation reactions by transition-metal-based heterogeneous
catalysts was established many decades ago but is still quite common in the chemical …

In the present review we survey the main advances made in recent years on the
understanding of chemical chirality at solid surfaces. Chirality is an important topic, made …
