A Ni(II) PNP pincer complex immobilized on SBA-15 as catalyst for the 4-nitrophenol hydrogenation

Abstract The Ni(II) complex [NiCl(bda)]+ containing the aliphatic PNP pincer ligand bis((2-diphenylphosphino)ethyl)amine (bda) was covalently immobilized on the mesoporous silica SBA-15. SBA-15 was functionalized with (3-chloropropyl)triethoxysilane as an anchoring agent, which w...
