This May, the part of our group focusing on ester hydrogenolysis published a new article in Catalysis Science and Technology. It was previously described that use of CuZn catalysts is a promising alternative to toxic CuCr catalysts in ester hydrogenolysis. Now, we described in detail the effect of catalyst precursors on activity in dimethyl adipate hydrogenolysis. Using this study, it is possible to tune the structure of CuZn catalysts to achieve the highest catalytic activity in hydrogenolysis.
