Abstract

A one-atom controlled platinum sub-nanocluster (under 1 nm) was synthesized using a phenylazomethine dendrimer template. This sub-nanocluster (SNC) catalyst exhibits a remarkable catalytic activity during reductive amination compared to the standard platinum nanoparticles of 2.2 ± 0.8 nm under mild conditions and a low catalyst loading. In addition, this catalyst has a remarkable poison-tolerance to amines without adding protic acid.
