Rh nanoparticles prepared on hydrophobic molecularly modified silica act as effective catalysts for the hydrogenation of fluoroarenes to fluorocyclohexane derivatives.
The selective hydrogenation of fluorinated arenes with polar functionalities to valuable fluorinated cyclohexanes is achieved using supercritical CO2 as solvent in combination with Rh NPs immobilized on molecularly modified silica as catalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
