Abstract:
Trapped! Mesopolymer‐entrapped Pt nanoparticles serve as an efficient catalyst for the hydrogenation of benzaldehydes in water at ambient temperature. In comparison with the commercial Pt/alumina catalyst, the Pt/FDU‐14 catalyst shows superior performance in the hydrogenation reaction. The catalyst afforded high turnover frequencies and was reusable more than nine times without loss of activity or selectivity.
