Abstract

A recyclable highly dispersed Ni/SiO₂ catalyst was prepared by atomic layer deposition. Chemo selective reduction of nitroarenes was studied using the prepared Ni/SiO₂ as the catalyst and hydrazine hydrate as a hydrogen donor. Different kinds of nitroarenes were converted to the corresponding anilines with high yields. The high activity of the catalysts could be a result of the highly dispersed Ni nanoparticles. (Chemical Presented).
