Boosting the activity in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of S-containing nitroarenes by dual-site Pt/CeO2 catalysts design by Xiaomin Ren, Jiayi Huang, Jun Ma, Yimo Zhang, Wei Chu, Siglinda Perathoner, Gabriele Centi, Yuefeng Liu

“…The hydrogenation of the nitro group in S-containing nitroarenes is induced to occur on the oxygen vacancies of the support rather than on the metal nanoparticles, which act only as the site of activating H2 by spillover. This functionality is not inhibited by strong chemisorption of the reactant S-groups, which is different from the hydrogenation of the nitro groups. …”
