The pervasive use of toxic nitroaromatics in industrial processes and their prevalence effluent has motivated the development remediation strategies, among which is catalytic reduction to less synthetically useful aniline derivatives. While this area research a rich history with innumerable examples active catalysts, majority systems rely on expensive precious metals are submicron- or even few-...

Abstract Catalysts for chemoselective hydrogenation are of vital importance the synthesis various important chemicals and intermediates. Herein we developed a simple method preparing highly efficient Ni-MoC x nanocomposite catalyst via temperature-programmed carburization polyoxometalate precursor. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), photoelectron spectros...

Nitroreductase (NTR) is an enzyme that specifically reduces nitroaromatic activity. Some explosives are exploited by terrorists. Among these highly explosive materials, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) often used, which makes the detection of TNT important research topic in fight against terrorism. vapor gas sensor approach has been under active investigation for several years. Despite this effort, ...

The role of ion-exchange resins (IERs) as catalysts or supports, in hydrogenation reactions is revised and their potential application presented. Both gel-type macroreticular, basic acid, IERs have been used for manifold metal-catalyzed processes gas liquid phase, including alkenes, alkynes, carbonyls, arenes, nitroaromatics, more. When available, qualitative relationships between the morpholog...
