optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES, Perkin-Elmer Optima
7300 DV) was used to determine the actual metal loading.
Elemental analysis (EA) for nitrogen was performed on an
Elementar Vario EL-III analyzer. The surface electronic states
were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS,

a
hemispherical analyzer. The XPS data were calibrated internally
to the binding energy of C 1s at 284.6 eV.

The catalytic activity of the Rh/ED-KIT-6 and other metal NP
catalysts in the transfer hydrogenation of FFR were determined.
The transfer hydrogenation reactions were carried out using a
15 mL ACE pressure tube in the liquid phase. Typically, 1 mmol
of FFR, 4 mmol of FA, and Rh/ED-KIT-6 catalyst (0.49 mol% Rh)
in 5 mL of 2-PrOH were charged into the pressure tube and
sealed. The reaction mixture was stirred at 100 °C for 5 h. After
the reaction was complete, the catalyst was separated by
centrifugation and the products were analyzed by gas
chromatography (GC, HP6890 model, Agilent Technologies,
USA) equipped with a flame ionization detector and a HP-5
capillary column with dodecane as the internal standard. The
products were confirmed by GC-MS (Varian 1200L single
quadrupole with 3800GC model, Agilent Technologies, USA)
using a DB-5 column. The effect of the various reaction
parameters, such as solvent, temperature, FA to FFR molar ratio,
and reaction time were examined. In addition, possibility of Rh
metal leaching, the catalyst heterogeneity, and recyclability were
also investigated.

FA dehydrogenation was performed in a 100 mL three-necked
round flask with a water jacket. Prior to use, the catalyst was
dried at 110 °C for 4 h under vacuum conditions. In a typical run,
a reactor containing the catalyst (100 mg) and 2-propanol (15
mL) was connected to a gas burette, pressure-equalizing funnel
containing FA (2.5 mmol), and an Ar gas line. After heating to
100 °C, the reaction medium was stirred magnetically for 30 min
to achieve thermal equilibrium under inert conditions. The
reaction was initiated by injecting FA into the reaction medium
via a connected pressure-equalizing funnel with vigorous stirring.
The volume of evolved gas was then monitored by recording the
displacement of water in the gas burette. The reaction
temperature was maintained using a water circulator connected
to the reactor. The gas released during the reaction was
collected and analyzed using an Agilent 6890 Gas
Chromatograph equipped with a Carboxen-1010 Plot capillary
column and TCD/methanizer-FID detector.
