Multifunctional catalysis by Pd@MIL-101: one-step synthesis of methyl isobutyl ketone over palladium nanoparticles deposited on a metal–organic framework

Abstract

Palladium nanoparticles deposited on a chromium terephthalate MIL-101 is a highly efficient multifunctional catalyst for the one-step synthesis of methyl isobutyl ketone, with significantly higher activity than palladium on traditional materials, such as metal oxides and zeolites.
