In this review, we discuss selected examples from recent literature on the role of the support
on directing the nanostructures of Au-based monometallic and bimetallic nanoparticles. The …

This review concerns metal-catalyzed reactions of oxidation of alcohols to the respective
products, mainly ketones and aldehydes, mostly within the period of 2010–2014. Both …

Oxidation reactions may be considered as the heart of chemical synthesis. However, the
indiscriminate uses of harsh and corrosive chemicals in this endeavor are threating to the …

Epoxidation of styrene under heterogeneous catalyzed conditions provides environmentally
friendly routes to produce styrene oxide, an important synthetic intermediate for synthesis of …

Vapor phase benzyl alcohol (BnOH) oxidation reaction is investigated over a pre–
