Enhanced stability and activity in the upgrading ethanol to n-butanol using a ruthenium polyphenylene catalyst

Bioethanol upgrading to n-butanol is catalysed by homogeneous catalysts under mild solventless liquid phase conditions, at which heterogeneous catalysts have poor performance. Here a heterogeneous catalyst, initially comprised of a Ru(bipy) complex incorporated into a polyphenylene support, gave a c...
