Graham Hutchings, Christopher Kiely et al. have found that trimetallic Au-Pd-Pt nanoparticles supported on activated carbon are highly active and selective catalysts for the solvent-free aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol.
In their recently published paper, they demonstrate that when a small amount of Pt metal is alloyed into Au-Pd sols, a high selectivity toward benzaldehyde can be achieved while still preserving high conversion levels. Their work is an exciting step towards making the industrially very important process of oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes cheap and environmentally friendly.

They recently presented and discussed their paper at the Faraday 162 meeting in Berlin.
We have some photos to share with you from the Faraday Discussion last week on the fabrication, structure and reactivity of structured nanoparticles in Berlin, Germany.
Take a look at our upcoming Faraday Discussions here…there are many exciting and diverse discussion topics coming up!
Faraday Discussions are a long-established series of meetings which provide a unique international platform for the exchange of views and newly acquired results in developing areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. The Discussion is a dynamic forum for developing and exchanging exciting new ideas, and both the papers and discussion will be published in a final printed volume. The latest Impact Factor is 5.0.

A gold ketenylidene species (Au2=C=C=O) has been identified as a key intermediate in the partial oxidation of acetic acid over a gold/TiO2 catalyst – a reaction that could have important consequences for environmentally friendly organic synthesis. Gold and TiO2 both play a part in the catalysis, with C–H bond scission occurring at the former and C–O scission at the latter.
Such reactions could represent important routes to the de-oxygenation of acids and esters derived from bio-renewable intermediates, and hence the green manufacture of important bulk chemicals.
