Abstract

Abstract : The encapsulation of preformed metal nanoparticles into metal‐organic Framework UiO‐66(Zr) during solvothermal synthesis represents a challenge due to the harsh acidic reaction conditions. A thin shell of Pt effectively protects the Pd and Ru cores of the bimetallic PdPt and RuPt nanoparticles against etching. In turn, the core modulates the catalytic properties of the Pt shell and allows for enhanced activity in substrate size selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes and low temperature CO oxidation. For more details, see the Full Paper by F. X. Llabrés i Xamena, R. A. Fischer et al. on page 3583 ff.
