Abstract
P NRs is noteworthy, as conventional Co catalysts are air-sensitive (pyrophorous) and show no activity for this transformation under mild conditions. P-alloying is therefore of considerable importance for nanoengineering air-stable and highly active non-noble-metal catalysts for organic synthesis.
