In recent years, synthesis of mixed-metal organic frameworks has received considerable attention due to their superior performance than with mono-metallic metal organic frameworks (MOFs). In the present manuscript, Cu2+ ions are doped within the framework of ZIF-8 (ZIF: Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks) to obtain Cu@ZIF-8 and is characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV-Visible diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microcope (TEM) studies. The reaction conditions are optimized with styrene as a model substrate using Cu@ZIF-8 as a solid catalyst. Heterogeneity of the reaction is confirmed by leaching test and the solid is reusable for three recycles with no diminishing activity. Further, the structural integrity of Cu@ZIF-8 is also retained after hydrogenation of styrene as evidenced by powder X-ray diffraction. The size selective catalysis of Cu@ZIF-8 is demonstrated by comparing the activity of Cu2+ ions adsorbed over ZIF-8 solid (Cu/ZIF-8) in the hydrogenation of 1-hexene, 1-octene, cyclohexene, cyclooctene and t-stilbene. The catalytic results indicate that Cu/ZIF-8 shows superior activity than Cu@ZIF-8 for all these olefins due to the lack of diffusion to access the active sites (Cu2+). In contrast, Cu@ZIF-8 exhibits higher activity for those olefins with lower molecular dimensions (1-hexene, 1-octene) than the pores of ZIF-8 indicating the facile diffusion of these substrates inside the pores ZIF-8 while poor activity is observed with t-stilbene due to its larger molecular dimension than the pore apertures of ZIF-8. These catalytic data clearly establish the size selective hydrogenation of Cu@ZIF-8 due to the effective confinement provided by ZIF-8 framework and the presence of the active sites within the framework. Furthermore, this is the first report showing the size selective hydrogenation of olefins promoted by Cu@ZIF-8 (mixed-metal MOFs) compared to other noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) embedded over MOFs as catalysts.

The production of water-soluble and stable metallic nanoparticles that can act as recoverable catalysts still remains a challenge. Herein we report the behavior of a series of water-soluble platinum nanoparticles containing different sulfonated NHC ligands as recoverable catalysts for the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds in pure water. The NHC-protected nanoparticles are found to be active and, in general, can be reutilized with no loss of activity or selectivity, although differences are observed depending on the substitution of the NHC ligand or on the substrate being hydrogenated. Pt leaching was determined to be only 0.03-0.29%. TEM images reveal that the shape of the nanoparticles remains unaltered after catalysis. However, the size of the particles increased, although with no influence on their catalytic properties in many instances.

Catalytic hydrogenation of nitroaromatics is an environment-benign strategy to produce industrially important aniline intermediates. Herein, we report that Fe(OH)x deposition on Pt nanocrystals to give Fe(OH)x/Pt, enables the selective hydrogenation of nitro groups into amino groups without hydrogenating other functional groups on the aromatic ring. The unique catalytic behavior is identified to be associated with the FeIII-OH-Pt interfaces. While H2 activation occurs on exposed Pt atoms to ensure the high activity, the high selectivity towards the production of substituted aniline originates from the FeIII-OH-Pt interfaces. In situ IR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and isotope effect studies reveal that the Fe3+/Fe2+ redox couple facilitates the hydrodeoxygenation of the -NO2 group during hydrogenation catalysis. Benefitting from FeIII-OH-Pt interfaces, the Fe(OH)x/Pt catalysts exhibit high catalytic performance towards a broad range of substituted nitroarenes.
