Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/j.molcata.2008.10.007

The hydrogenation of benzene and benzene derivatives was studied using Ru(0) nanoparticles prepared by a very simple method based on the in situ reduction of the commercially available precursor ruthenium dioxide under mild conditions (75 °C and hydrogen
