Abstract

Abstract We report the synthesis of novel Pd–Pt bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts using functionalized multi-wall carbon-nanotubes and utilization of them to reductions. The carbon nanotube-supported bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts showed improved activity in reduction reactions, compared with that of mono metal-supported catalysts. Under the optimized reaction conditions, various nitro compounds and alkenes were cleanly reduced at ...
