Catalysts

Precious Metal Compounds and Homogeneous Catalysts
Alfa Aesar offers a full range of precious metal salts and solutions manufactured to stringent specifications. Homogeneous catalysis provides an excellent choice where highly specific reactions are desired including chiral transformations. Our homogeneous catalysts can be used in a wide range of chemical transformations. Please note our FibreCat® Homogeneous Catalysts, which combine the selectivity of homogeneous catalysts with the ease of handling and separation of heterogeneous catalysts.
Catalysts in varying purities and concentrations
Due to their high selectivity, precious metal chemicals are often the first choice as heterogeneous catalysts for a wide variety of reactions, including hydrogenation, hydrosilation, isomerization and carbonylation. Alfa Aesar carries a wide selection of purities and concentrations for a broad range of applications, including organic synthesis in the pharmaceutical industry. We offer a unique collection of chiral ligands for asymmetric hydrogenation, novel palladium coupling catalysts, platinum group metal (PGM)-based heterogeneous catalysts as well as Sponge Nickel catalysts.
