Metal–organic framework MIL-101 supported bimetallic Pd–Cu nanocrystals as efficient catalysts for chromium reduction and conversion of carbon dioxide at room temperature

Abstract

A series of bimetallic Pd–Cu nanocrystals supported on the zeolite-type metal–organic framework MIL-101 and their application in the reduction of Cr(<sc>vi</sc>) to Cr(<sc>iii</sc>) using formic acid and the conversion of terminal alkynes into propiolic acids with CO₂are reported.
