Abstract:
Porous metal silicate (PMS) material PMS-11, consisting of uniformly distributed multi-metallic species inside the pores, is synthesized by using a discrete multi-metal coordination complex as the template, demonstrating high catalytic activity and selectivity in hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzenes by synergistically activating different reactant molecules via Ni and Co transition metal centers, while GdIII Lewis acid sites play a role in tuning the catalytic properties.
