Catalytic Converted

Posted on: 11/15/2012 12:00:00 AM... A team at Princeton University has developed a process that allows ordinary iron to be used as a substitute catalyst in certain reactions that up till now have required precious metals. With this technique, in a catalytic role, metals like iron function like platinum. Manganese and cobalt are also being tested. The process essentially puts a metal atom inside a molecule, called a ligand. The ligand then forces the atom to mimic the precious metal.
