Paper
A bimetallic catalyst, AgPd@g-C3N4, synthesized by reducing silver and palladium salts over graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), enables the concerted reductive formylation of aromatic nitro compounds under photo-chemical conditions using formic acid, which serves the dual role of a hydrogen source and a formylating agent.
