Abstract

Heterogeneous nitrogen-doped carbon-incarcerated iron/copper bimetallic nanoparticle (NP) catalysts prepared from nitrogen-containing polymers were developed. These catalysts showed activity higher than that of the corresponding monometallic NPs for aerobic ammoxidation of alcohols to nitriles. The important procedure for high activity in the catalyst preparation was found to be a simultaneous reduction of two metal salts.
