Catalytic Reactions at Amine-Stabilized and Ligand-Free Platinum Nanoparticles Supported on Titania During Hydrogenation of Alkenes and Aldehydes

This protocol shows a convenient method for comparing the catalytic properties of supported platinum catalysts, synthesized by deposition of nanosized colloids or by impregnation. The hydrogenation of cyclohexene serves as a model reaction to determine the catalytic activity of the catalysts.
