Quasi Pd1Ni single-atom surface alloy catalyst enables hydrogenation of nitriles to secondary amines
While nitrile hydrogenation may provide an appealing means to obtain secondary amines, poor selectivity plagues heterogeneous catalysts. Here, authors report single-atom palladium on nickel catalysts to afford high yields of secondary amines from a broad range of parent nitriles.
