The chemical industry relies on catalytic processes, which involve mainly heterogeneous
catalysts because they offer many advantages over their homogeneous counterparts such …

The word “colloid” was introduced for the first time by Graham in 18611 to describe the very
slow sedimentation and noncrystalline state, two characteristic appearances of aqueous …

One of the most exciting developments in the areas of catalysis, organometallic chemistry,
and polymer science in recent years has been the intense exploration and …

The field of Surface Organometallic Chemistry (SOMC) aims to blend the positive attributes
of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Significant insight into heterogeneous …

This review considers cases in which a discrete transition-metal complex is used as a
precatalyst for reductive catalysis; it focuses on the problem of determining if the true catalyst …

Surface organometallic chemistry is an area of heterogeneous catalysis which has recently
emerged as a result of a comparative analysis of homogeneous and heterogeneous …

Combining experiments and DFT calculations, we show that tricoordinate AlIII Lewis acid
sites, which are present as metastable species exclusively on the major (110) termination of …

The selective activation and transformation of alkanes or aromatics have been a research
