| Summary: | The broad challenges of energy and environment have become a main focus of research efforts to develop more active and selective catalytic systems for key chemical transformations. Surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) is an established concept, associated with specific tools, for the design, preparation and characterization of well-defined single-site catalysts. The objective is to enter a catalytic cycle through a presumed catalytic intermediate prepared from organometallic or coordination compounds to generate well defined surface organometallic fragments (SOMFs) or surface coordination fragments (SCFs). These notions are the basis of the "catalysis by design" strategy ("structure-activity" relationship) in which a better understanding of the mechanistic aspects of the catalytic process led to the improvement of catalyst performances. In this review the application of SOMC strategy for the design and preparation of catalysts for industrially relevant processes that are crucial to the energy and environment is discussed. In particular, the focus will be on the conversion of energy-related feedstocks, such as methane and higher alkanes that are primary products of the oil and gas industry, and of their product of combustion, CO
2
, whose efficient capture and conversion is currently indicated as a top priority for the environment. Among the main topics related to energy and environment, catalytic oxidation is also considered as a key subject of this review.
Surface organometallic chemistry has been reviewed with a special focus on environmentally relevant transformations (C-H activation, CO
2
conversion, oxidation). |

| Bibliography: | Eva Pump has been working at KAUST, Saudi Arabia, with Prof. Jean-Marie Basset since 2015. Her research focuses on surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC), more precisely on "Catalysis by Design". Her interests are related to the selective transformation of paraffins into higher valuable products through alkane metathesis and the elucidation of the mechanism. She received her PhD in 2014 at TU Graz (Austria) with Prof. Christian Slugovc studying olefin metathesis reactions. 2 Dr Rinaldo PSARO, Director of CNR-ISTM (Milan, Italy) since 2008, was awarded the Federchimica prize (1990) and the Memorial Chini Lecture of the Italian Society of Chemistry (SCI, 2014). He served as a Coordinator of the Italian Group in Catalysis in 2006-2008 and 2012-2014 and as a Member of the Advisory Board of the International Association of Catalysis Societies in 2013-2017. He has co-authored 4 international patents and 220 papers in international journals focused on SOMC and nanostructured heterogeneous catalysts. Dr Matteo GUIDOTTI has been a Research Scientist at ISTM-CNR since 2001. He was a visiting researcher at the University of Poitiers, France (2003), Zaragoza, Spain (2010) and Delft, the Netherlands (2012). He has been a Fellow of the Academy of Sciences of the Institute of Bologna since 2013. He has co-authored 113 scientific publications and book chapters, 170 congress communications and 1 patent. He was awarded the Marotta Gold Medal Award, SCI, in 2017; Chiusoli Gold Medal Award, Industrial Chemistry Division, SCI, in 2014; and IX National Federchimica Prize in 1996. conversion and cyclic carbonate synthesis. Valerio D'Elia (from Avezzano, Italy) received his Master's degree in chemistry from the University of Perugia (2001). Following a period in pharmaceutical industry (Dompe, L Aquila), he received his PhD (2009) in organic chemistry from the University of Regensburg (Supervisor: O. Reiser). After postdoctoral research at LMU Munich (Supervisor: H. Zipse) he moved to Kaust Catalysis Center in Saudi Arabia as a research scientist in the group of J.-M. Basset. Since 2015 he has been a faculty member at the Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (VISTEC) in Thailand. His research interests include catalysis, CO Professor Basset (middle) and his team at KAUST Catalysis Center (KCC, Saudi Arabia). He received his PhD in 1969 from the University of Lyon, France. He was funded by KCC for his work dedicated to catalysis by design. Dr Manoja Samantaray completed his PhD from IIT Bombay. In 2012 he moved to KCC as a research scientist following postdoctoral research at CPE Lyon. His research focuses on the design/synthesis of oxide supported well-defined single site catalysts for alkane metathesis. Jérémie D. A. Pelletier received his PhD in homogeneous catalysis in 2006 from the University of Leicester (UK). He is now the Laboratory Manager of KCC. His research focuses on SOMC (hydroaminalkylation, CO valorization, etc.). Dr Anissa Bendjeriou-Sedjerari, Research Scientist at KCC, received her PhD in Materials Science from the University of Montpellier. She is strongly focused on the design of novel multifunctional materials, their advanced solid-state characterization and applications in heterogeneous catalysis.
