      Formic acid is considered as a promising hydrogen storage material in the context of a green hydrogen economy. In this work, we present a series of aminophosphino and imidazolylamino Mo3S4 cuboidal clusters which are active ...
    • closedAccess   Selective reductive amination of aldehydes from nitro compounds catalyzed by molybdenum sulfide clusters 

      Pedrajas Gual, Elena; Sorribes, Iván; Junge, Henrik; Beller, matthias; Llusar, Rosa Royal Society of Chemistry (2017-07)
      Secondary amines are selectively obtained from low value starting materials using hydrogen and a non-noble metal-based catalyst. The reductive amination of aldehydes from nitroarenes or nitroalkanes is efficiently catalyzed ...
    • openAccess   Unprecedented Mo3S4 cluster-catalyzed radical C-C cross-coupling reactions of aryl alkynes and acrylates 

      Mateu-Campos, Juanjo; Guillamón, Eva; Safont Villarreal, Vicent Sixte; Junge, Kathrin; Junge, Henrik; Beller, matthias; Llusar, Rosa Royal Society of Chemistry (2024-01-30)
      A new method for the generation of benzyl radicals from terminal aromatic alkynes has been developed, which allows the direct cross coupling with acrylate derivatives. Our additive-free protocol employs air-stable diamino ...
