  2. Raney nickel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raney_nickel

    Commercially available Raney nickel has an average Ni surface area of 100 m 2 per gram of catalyst. [6] A high catalytic activity, coupled with the fact that hydrogen is absorbed within the pores of the catalyst during activation, makes Raney nickel a useful catalyst for many hydrogenation reactions. Its structural and thermal stability (i.e ...

  3. Grubbs catalyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grubbs_catalyst

    The Hoveyda–Grubbs catalysts, while more expensive and slower to initiate than the Grubbs catalyst from which they are derived, are popular because of their improved stability. [ 3 ] [ 17 ] By changing the steric and electronic properties of the chelate, the initiation rate of the catalyst can be modulated, [ 18 ] [ 19 ] such as in the Zhan ...

  4. Karstedt's catalyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karstedt's_catalyst

    Karstedt's catalyst is an organoplatinum compound derived from divinyl-containing disiloxane.This coordination complex is widely used in hydrosilylation catalysis. It is a colorless solid that is generally assumed to be a mixture of related Pt(0) alkene complexes.

  5. Life expectancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy

    Life expectancy is one of the factors in measuring the Human Development Index (HDI) of each nation along with adult literacy, education, and standard of living. [160] Life expectancy is used in describing the physical quality of life of an area. It is also used for an individual when the value of a life settlement is determined a life ...

  6. Catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalysis

    A true catalyst can work in tandem with a sacrificial catalyst. The true catalyst is consumed in the elementary reaction and turned into a deactivated form. The sacrificial catalyst regenerates the true catalyst for another cycle. The sacrificial catalyst is consumed in the reaction, and as such, it is not really a catalyst, but a reagent.

  7. Hydrogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogenation

    Heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogenation are more common industrially. In industry, precious metal hydrogenation catalysts are deposited from solution as a fine powder on the support, which is a cheap, bulky, porous, usually granular material, such as activated carbon, alumina, calcium carbonate or barium sulfate. [14]

    Catalyst also showed that stronger-than-average results prevailed at companies with three or more women on their corporate boards.4 A gender-diverse board of directors impacts the future of women in a company's senior leadership. Catalyst found a clear and positive correlation between the percentage of women board

  9. Lindlar catalyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindlar_catalyst

    A Lindlar catalyst is a heterogeneous catalyst consisting of palladium deposited on calcium carbonate or barium sulfate then poisoned with various forms of lead or sulfur. It is used for the hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes (i.e. without further reduction into alkanes). It is named after its inventor Herbert Lindlar, who discovered it in 1952.
