Supported Iridium pincer complexes were used to study gas-phase isopropanol dehydrogenation under continuous flow system at temperatures 200-260 °C with different flow rates. First supported catalyst was [Ir(C2H4)(p-tBu2PO-tBu4POCOP)] supported by covalent bonding to silica, the second one was [Ir(HCl)(p-HO2C- tBu4POCOP)] supported by adsorption to γ-Alumina. The highest activity of catalyst 1 w

The aim of this study is to highlight the emergence and spread of black protest, with a focus on Warsaw and Cracow in Poland, as well as Malmö in Sweden, from the participants’ perspective.
