Abstract
patches partially covering the surface of these NPs, have been established as excellent catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of quinolines to their corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines under mild conditions of pressure and temperature. It has been found that this bimetallic catalyst displays superior catalytic performance toward the formation of the target products than the monometallic Co@C, which can be attributed to the presence of the CoW alloyed structures.
