Solvent-Free and Highly Efficient Hydrogenation of α-Pinene to Synthesize cis-Pinane by Using Ru Species Immobilized on APTS-Functionalized Cubic Phase NaNbO3

Perovskite Oxides Prepared by Hydrothermal and Solvothermal Synthesis: A Review of Crystallisation, Chemistry, and Compositions

“…[148] Hu et al have recently used hydrothermally prepared NaNbO3 as a support for Ru nanoparticles via surface functionalisation with a silane, to produce a heterogeneous catalyst for selective hydrogenation of -pinene. [149] As well as ternary niobates and tantalates, solid-solutions (K,Na)(Nb,Ta)O3 have also been proven possible to access directly via hydrothermal synthesis, providing atomically homogeneous samples. (K,Na)NbO3 has been the focus of much attention and this includes polycrystalline samples [150] that have been sintered into ceramics, [151] [ 152] grown directly as epitaxial films on suitable substrates, [153] or as arrays of nanostructures.…”
