Catalytic Organic Reactions in Liquid Phase by Perovskite Oxides: A Review

Abstract

The structural flexibility and controllable physico-chemical characters of perovskite oxides have drawn major attention of researchers for catalytic reactions. Perovskite oxide are mainly used as catalysts for electrochemical, high temperature gas-phase and photocatalytic reactions but their uses for catalytic organic reactions in liquid phase are limited. Various porous and nano-perovskite oxides have been prepared by different methods are effectively used as catalyst for different types of organic reactions in liquid phase. The liquid-phase catalytic organic reactions over perovskite oxides have been classified mainly into three groups: (i) acid/base catalyzed, (ii) selective oxidation and (iii) cross-coupling reactions. This review article mainly emphases on different examples of perovskite oxides catalyzed organic reactions in liquid phase along with the relationships among the unique catalytic performance with the structural and the physico-chemical properties of perovskites.
