Metal clusters in catalysis. 10. A new Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

Metal–metal bonds

“…In fact, several examples are known [ 1,211. Thus it has been discovered that Ru3(C0)12 catalyzes the water gas shift reaction CO + H20 ti COz + H2 at low temperature [34] and Ir4(CO)12, the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis [35], a CO + (212 + 1)Hz + CnH2n+2 + H20, in which the hydrocarbons were methane, ethane, propane, and isobutane, the latter two being minor constituents.…”

Redox‐Additions/Eliminierungs‐Reaktionen von Cluster‐gebundenen Liganden: Oxidative Eliminierung von CO aus Co3(CO)9COH und reduktive Addition von Acetylen an Co3(CO)9H

“…Kurzlich gelang die Synthese von C O~( C O )~C OH (1) und seine quantitative Umwandlung bei Raumtemperatur in einem geschlossenen GeWD zu HCo(CO), (2)…”

Predicting adsorption on metals: simple yet effective descriptors for surface catalysis

“…Just outside the circle we find Mo and Ir, which are also capable of catalyzing F-T reactions. 29,30 In the following sections, we apply a set of simple descriptors that capture the essence of molecule-surface interactions. For simplicity, we use here the term adsorption referring to both chemisorption and physisorption.…”
