Argonne researchers make vanadium into a useful low-cost catalyst for hydrogenation

Green Car Congress

Our group recently developed a series of well-defined, site- isolated first-row organo-transition metal catalysts (V 3+ , Cr 3+ , Mn 2+ , Co 2+ and Ni 2+ ) supported on a catechol-containing porous organic polymer (CatPOP), which were demonstrated to be active for alkyne semi-hydrogenation. … Camacho-Bunquin, R.
