Palladium modified magnetic mesoporous carbon derived from metal–organic frameworks as a highly efficient and recyclable catalyst for hydrogenation of nitroarenes

Abstract

We present a facile route for the fabrication of palladium modified magnetic nanoparticles (Fe@Pd NPs) embedded in mesoporous carbon (MC), derived from metal–organic frameworks, to produce the Fe@Pd–MC nanocatalyst. The Fe@Pd–MC nanocatalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity toward the hydrogenation of nitroarenes as well as easy recovery and reusability.
