Spatial intimacy of binary active-sites for selective sequential hydrogenation-condensation of nitriles into secondary imines

Precisely controlling the spatial intimacy of multiple active sites in heterogeneous catalysts can significantly affect the selectivity and activity. Here the authors show a binary active site of single atom Pt and Lewis acidic B with spatial intimacy enables a highly selective nitrile-to-secondary...
