Synthesis, characterization, electronic structure and catalytic performance of bimetallic and trimetallic nanoparticles containing tin
Abstract
When anchored on a high-area, siliceous supports, nanoparticle catalysts, consisting of two or three different metals, but totaling no more than twenty atoms in all, exhibit exceptional activities and selectivities in solvent-free, one-step hydrogenation reactions at low temperatures (<420 K) and much lower pressures (e.g. 30 bar) than those required in current industrial manufacture. The two selective hydrogenations illustrated here are the conversion of (a)
