Selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes under mild conditions by the optimization of active sites in a well defined Co@NC catalyst
Shuo Chen, Li−Li Ling, Shun‐Feng Jiang, Hong Jiang
Abstract
The defined catalyst (Co@NC) is prepared through the pyrolysis of the Co-centered metal–organic framework (MOF), in which Co active species (Co–Nx, surface Co NPs) and particle size play important roles in the catalytic hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds.
