Highly selective and robust single-atom catalyst Ru1/NC for reductive amination of aldehydes/ketones

Abstract

Single-atom catalyst (SAC) has emerged as a frontier in heterogeneous catalysis yet its robustness remains a critical concern. Here, a highly active, selective and robust Ru1-N3 SAC is explored for a challenging reaction, reductive amination of aldehydes/ketones for synthesis of primary amines.
