Surface Functionalized Metal Catalysts

This book covers recent advances in the field of surface functionalized metal catalysts. It not only explores novel catalysts based on metal nanoparticles immobilized on functionalized supports, but also provides an overview of the latest developments in the study of the influence of capping ligands on metal nanoparticle catalysis. Catalysis with surface functionalized metallic systems is attracting significant interest due to the possibility to precisely control the reactivity of surface active sites. Controlling the synthesis, characterization and application of these catalysts offers new possibilities to classical heterogenous catalysis.

Presents recent progress in the use of surface functionalized metal catalysts for several chemical processes Highlights novel technologies for catalytic transformations Contributions from leading researchers in the field

Autorentext

Dr. Luis M. Martínez-Prieto received his PhD degree in Organometallic Chemistry in 2012, working at the IIQ Instituto de Investigaciones Químicas (Seville, Spain) on Ni and Pd pincer complexes under the supervision of Prof. J. Cámpora. He then moved to the LCC - Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination (Toulouse, France) for a postdoctoral stay in the group of Prof. B. Chaudret. His research focused on the synthesis, characterization and study of the surface chemistry of metal nanoparticles (MNPs). In 2015, he joined the LPCNO Laboratoire de Physique et Chimie des Nano-Objets (Toulouse, France), exploring the use of MNPs as catalysts in the lab of Prof. P. van Leeuwen. In 2017, he was awarded with a Juan de la Cierva fellowship that allowed him to start an independent career working on confined/supported metal catalysts and magnetically induced catalysis at the ITQ Instituto de Tecnología Química (Valencia, Spain), in the team of Prof. A. Corma. In 2022 he was selectedas Ramon y Cajal researcher and started a new stage as independent scientist in his alma mater, the University of Seville. He is now Tenured Scientist of CSIC at IIQ (Seville, Spain) and team leader of CataNa group, focused on metal nanoparticle catalysis.
