Cover Picture: Selective Hydrogenolysis of Glycerol to 1,3‐Propanediol: Manipulating the Frustrated Lewis Pairs by Introducing Gold to Pt/WOx (ChemSusChem 5/2017)

The Cover picture shows the selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol that was catalyzed by in situ-generated analogue of “Frustrated Lewis Pairs” (FLP) with the assistance of H2. The introduction of highly dispersed Au species to Pt/WOx catalysts can enhance the formation of this FLP structure, and results in simultaneously improved 1,3-propanediol selectivity (51.6%) and glycerol conversion (81.1%) under mild reaction conditions (1 MPa H2, 413 K). More details can be found in the Communication by Zhao et al. on page 819 in Issue 5, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201601503).
