Abstract

A novel bimetallic nanoporous FeAl-KIT-5 catalyst with a cage type porous structure and a high surface area has been prepared for the hydroarylation of styrene and arylacetylenes to afford 1, 1-diarylalkanes and 1, 1-diarylalkenes, respectively. The catalyst was found to be highly active, and selective, affording a high yield of substituted alkanes and alkenes. The catalyst also showed much higher activity as compared to those of other nanoporous ...
