Abstract
. EXAFS, XANES, XPS, DRIFTS and HAADF-STEM. The resulting phosphine-modified catalysts show a promotion in activity and selectivity towards less vulnerable aldehydes for hydrogenation, further confirmed by DFT calculations. This finding reveals a new protocol to tailor the activity of metal-single-atoms utilizing functional porous polymers as nanoreactors.
