Abstract

RuNi nanoparticles supported on a metal-organic framework (RuNi@MOF) and formed in situ from a ruthenium complex enclosed inside a nickel-based MOF act as a highly active catalyst for the Guerbet reaction of ethanol to 1-butanol, providing turnover numbers up to 725 000 Ru^-1. Negligible activity of the RuNi@MOF ethanol upgrading catalyst system toward chemically similar 1-butanol makes it possible to synthesize the competent Guerbet substrate 1-butanol with >99% selectivity.
