dispersed Pt nanoparticles (∼2.2 nm) on ordered mesoporous
carbon (Pt/CMK-3–HQ) were first prepared through a two-step
impregnation route with aqueous solutions of 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ)
and H2PtCl6, respectively. The Pt/CMK-3–HQ
quantitatively converted various halogenated nitroarenes to the corresponding
haloanilines using hydrazine hydrate with unprecedented activities
(e.g., turnover frequency for o-chloronitrobenzene
was 30.2 s–1) and exhibited high stability with
20 cycles without decrease in catalytic efficiency. The high activity
and chemoselectivity of Pt/CMK-3–HQ were attributed to the
cooperation effect between Pt and N species, promoting cleavage of
hydrazine to generate more Pt–H– and N–H+ species for reduction of nitro groups and weakening the interaction
between halogen groups and Pt atoms for activation of C-halogen bonds.
