As early as 2001, the need for the 'functional motif theory'was pointed out, to assist the
rational design of functional materials. The properties of materials are determined by their …

The direct esterification of CO involves processes using CO as the starting material and
ester chemicals as products. Dimethyl oxalate (DMO) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) are two …

The selectivity control of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) in the direct CO esterification with methyl
nitrite toward dimethyl oxalate (DMO) or dimethyl carbonate (DMC) remains a grand …

An emerging synthetic route for the co-synthesis of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) and dimethyl
carbonate (DMC) via the indirect oxidative carbonylation of CH 3 OH is presented. The …

Atomic-level insight into the unique catalytic capability of single-atom catalysts that
distinguished from nanometer-sized counterparts is highly desirable for catalyst design and …

CO esterification to dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is an attractive route, although the catalyst is
the main problem restricting the industrialization of this route. Supported palladium catalysts …

The acid–base properties of supports have an enormous impact on catalytic reactions to
regulate the selectivity and activity of supported catalysts. Herein, a train of Pd‐X‐UiO‐66 …

Solid superbases can catalyze diverse reactions under mild conditions, while they suffer
from aggregation of basic sites and poor stability during recycling. Here we report a new …

Gas-phase indirect oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyl carbonate (DMC) has
been industrialized, but the reaction mechanism is still ambiguous. In this work, the reaction …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently been applied as versatile platforms for
constructing efficient catalysts with improved performance in many fields. Herein, for the first …
