SiliaCat Pt0 Heterogeneous Catalyst (RD-R820-100)

SiliaCat Pt⁰ is made of organosilica physically doped with nanostructured Platinum(0), and is both stable and efficient.
This catalyst was successfully prepared by a novel and simple sol-gel route.
In the new procedure, Pt nanoparticles (uniformly in the range 1.7–3.15 nm) are encapsulated via an alcohol-free sol-gel process typical of enzyme sol-gel encapsulation.

Typical Applications: Selective reduction of nitroarenes, Hydrosilylation
