Catalysis for the hydrogenation of nitroaromatics by highly dispersed palladium nanoparticles anchored on a resorcin[4]arene-based metal–organic dimer containing amino groups

A new family of resorcin[4]arene-based metal–organic dimers (1–9) were self-assembled, and the catalyst Pd@2 displayed efficient catalytic performance for nitroarene hydrogenation.
