Evgeny V. Dikarev, Department of Chemistry, University at Albany Bi Rh
Heterometallic Catalysts:
- reduced cost
- simple preparation procedure
- no purification or activation required
- moisture- and air-stable
- soluble in variety of solvents
- fine tuning of electronic properties
- enantioselective versions available
Heterometallic Catalytic Precursors:
- high solubility and volatility
- retention of heterometallic structure in solution
- gas-phase impregnation available
- strong interaction with support surface
- clean low-temperature decomposition
- high level of catalyst dispersion
- catalytic activity enhanced by bismuth
