Silia<i>Cat</i>® Pd<sup>0</sup> and Pt<sup>0</sup>: A New Class of Silica-Based Heterogeneous Catalysts
20 May 2014SiliaCat catalysts are innovative and unique heterogeneous catalysts made of a leach-proof organoceramic matrix. The latest addition to the SiliaCat product line is a new series of organosilica physically doped with nanostructured palladium(0) and platinum(0). Results for a number of fundamental organic transformations including C-C bond formation, selective debenzylation, hydrogenation and hydrosilylation are presented in this poster.

Heterogeneous Catalysts - SiliaCat®
SiliCycle Inc.Are you familiar with SiliCycle’s heterogeneous (silica-supported) catalysts? Gathered under the SiliaCat® brand, they are made using an innovative technology. The matrix consists of organically modified silica, described as a sol-gel hybrid organic-inorganic material. The SiliaCat family is an essential tool in the chemical manufacturing industry, as it opens the door for a “Green” and environmentally friendly synthetic route development. Recyclable and almost leach-proof, their use significantly reduces the amount of waste generated, eliminating costly downstream treatments.Because of the properties stated below, these heterogeneous catalysts are less hazardous to human health. And since they are supported, they significantly reduce the amount of handling and diminish the risks of accidents, associated with the use of their homogeneous analogs.Heterogeneous Catalysts - SiliaCat® Features & Benefits: High thermal and mechanical stability High reactivity and turnover numbers Excellent selectivity. Heterogeneous Catalysts - SiliaCat® Applications: Couplings - Suzuki - Stille - Heck - Sonogashira - Kumada Debenzylation Hydrogenation Hydrosylation Oxidation.
