This Critical Review provides an overview of the recent developments in the synthesis and
characterization of bimetallic nanoparticles. Initially the review follows a materials science …

Chemoselective hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes and ketones over heterogeneous
catalysts is a demanding task. The achieved selectivity levels depend both on the electronic …

The promotion of hydrogenation reactions by transition-metal-based heterogeneous
catalysts was established many decades ago but is still quite common in the chemical …

Inexpensive Ni–Sn-based alloy catalysts, both bulk and supported, exhibited high selectivity
in the hydrogenation of a wide range of unsaturated carbonyl compounds and produced …

Well-defined organoplatinum (IV) sites were grafted on a Zn (II)-modified SiO2 support via
surface organometallic chemistry in toluene at room temperature. Solid-state spectroscopies …

Carbon-supported palladium catalysts are widely used for hydrogenation of various organic
compounds in the fine chemical industry. The nanoscale geometry and electronic structure …

Abstract Bimetallic Pd-Ru/C catalysts prepared with different carbon supports were shown to
be much more active in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of benzaldehyde in comparison with …

PtSn supported on SiO2 obtained via surface organometallic chemistry techniques catalyzes
hydrogenolysis of glycerol to obtain bio-propylene glycol (PG). Bimetallic catalysts with Sn …

The hydrogenation of acrolein was studied on a series of silica-supported silver catalysts
with various particle sizes (1–9nm). Particle sizes were determined by EXAFS and confirmed …

In this work, well-defined silica-supported Pt and PtSn catalysts were prepared by surface
organometallic reactions and were characterized by EXAFS-XANES at the Pt L2, 3 edge and …
