Carbohydrate-based nanostructured catalysts: applications in organic transformations

The requirement of green and sustainable materials to prepare heterogeneous catalysts has intensified for practical reasons over the past few decades. Carbohydrates are possibly the most plentiful and renewable organic materials in nature with inimitable physiochemical properties, plausible low-cost and large-scale production, and sustainability features could be exploited in the generation of nanostructured heterogeneous catalysts. This review article outlines the organic transformations catalyzed by diverse carbohydrate-based nanostructured catalysts in greener and environmentally friendly processes. Selected examples are highlighted for a variety of organic reactions exploiting the proposed catalysts’ reactivity and reusability, and interactions with the intrinsic nature of the applied carbohydrate supports; advantages and speculated challenges of the introduced catalysts are deliberated as well.

Propagating and Standing Rayleigh Waves near Rivet Chains Connecting Kirchhoff Plates

We show that near periodic rivet chains that connect two Kirchhoff plates and are modeled by point Sobolev transmission conditions, Rayleigh waves arise, propagate along the chains, and decay exponentially in the orthogonal direction. Under additional geometric conditions we discover the standing (periodic) waves that carry no energy.
