Quaternary Ammonium Salts in Asymmetric Hydrogenations – Additives, Reaction and Immobilization Media
Floriš, T. ; Klusoň, Petr ; Muldoon, M.J.
The inhibited catalytic activity of Ru-BINAP in MAA hydrogenation through ILs based on anion derivates of acids with higher pKa revealed a side way in the application of the ILs produces from renewable sources, (chiral) carboxylates (betaine, lactates) in genaral. On the other hand the employment of structurally modified quaternary ammonium cations seems to be the perspective route not only in optical yeld increase. Thus quaternary ammonium bromides such as chorides satisfied the reaction parameters enhancement. On the basis of our previous results, envirnmentaly benign choline chloride was applied as a crucial additive in optimized solvent system composed of methanol, CO2 and water.

Photoelectrochemical Oxidation of Carboxylic Acids on the Sol-Gel Thin TiO2 Layer Electrode
Morozová, Magdalena ; Klusoň, Petr ; Krýsa, Josef ; Šolcová, Olga
Heterogeneous photocatalysis is based on the reaction between the light excitated semiconductor and oxidizable compound adsorbed on the catalytic surface. This work reports the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation characteristics of carboxylic acids on the TiO2 sol-gel thin-film electrode by using electrochemical techniques. The influence of the thickness of the films on photoactivity and the various concentrations of oxalic, formic and acetic acid in the supporting electrolyte were investigated. The effect of the used mono- and dicarboxylic acids on the electrode behaviour for possible application as sensors has been also studied. The surface characteristics of TiO2 films were determined by XRD, SEM and AFM analyses and the photoexcitation properties of nanoparticulate layer electrode were determined by cyclic and linear voltammetry, amperometry and open circuit potential (OCP).

Asymmetric Hydrogenation Reactions
Klusoň, Petr ; Floriš, T.
In this contribution some information on the research of catalytic properties of homogeneous Ru catalysts are presented. Most attention is paid to the BINAP complexes and their coexistence with ionic liquids as potential reaction media for such hydrogenations.
