We report a general concurrent template strategy for precise synthesis of mesoporous Pt-/Pd-based intermetallic nanoparticles with desired morphology and ordered mesostructure. The concurrent template not only supplies a mesoporous metal seed for re-crystallization growth of atomically ordered intermetallic phases with unique atomic stoichiometry but also provides a nanoconfinement environment for nanocasting synthesis of mesoporous nanoparticles with ordered mesostructure and rhombic dodecahedral morphology under elevated temperature. Using the selective hydrogenation of 3-nitrophenylacetylene as a proof-of-concept catalytic reaction, mesoporous intermetallic PtSn nanoparticles exhibited remarkably controllable intermetallic phase-dependent catalytic selectivity and excellent catalytic stability. This work provides a very powerful strategy for precise preparation of ordered mesoporous intermetallic nanocrystals for application in selective catalysis and fuel cell electrocatalysis.

We report on the first cobalt corrole that effectively mediates the homogeneous hydrogenation of structurally diverse nitroarenes to afford the corresponding amines. The given catalyst is easily assembled prior to use from 4-tert-butylbenzaldehyde and pyrrole followed by metalation of the resulting corrole macrocycle with cobalt(II) acetate. The thus-prepared complex is self-contained in that the hydrogenation protocol is free from the requirement for adding any auxiliary reagent to elicit the catalytic activity of the applied metal complex. Moreover, a containment system is not required for the assembly of the hydrogenation reaction set-up as both the autoclave and the reaction vessels are readily charged under a regular laboratory atmosphere.

A small series of amino oligo-phenylenevinylenes (OPVs) were successfully synthesized from their nitro-analogs in a rapid, simple, and highly efficient fashion employing a sodium sulfide/pyridine system as a reducing agent. In this research, classic and sustainable reduction methodologies including NH4HCO2/Zn and a choline chloride/tin (II) chloride deep eutectic solvent (DES) were also evaluated, showing degradation products, incomplete reactivity, and product isolation difficulties in all cases. The straightforward Na2S/pyridine synthetic protocol proved to maintain the E-E stereochemistry of the OPV backbone that has been previously assembled by the Mizoroki–Heck cross-coupling reaction. Also, the optoelectronic properties were determined and discussed, considering the amino group insertion in these conjugated systems as a contribution for future construction of novel materials with applications in supramolecular electronics, light harvesting, and photocatalysis.
