Deposition of Pd nanoparticles on 2D Ni–Fe-MOF ultrathin nanosheets for efficient N-alkylation of amines by alcohols under visible light

Pd/Ni–Fe-MOF NSs exhibit superior performance for light initiated N -alkylation of amines by alcohols due to its ultrathin nanosheet morphology to shorten transport path for photogenerated charge carriers and maximize exposed catalytic active sites.
