Highly Selective Catalytic Reduction of Nitroarenes over Heterogeneous Transition Metal Catalysts: Nano- Catalysts- the New Challenges

A brief review of nano-catalysts application in the reduction of nitro-compounds into corresponding anilines was reported. The influence of the metal nature, catalyst's supports and catalysts particle size in the reaction' selectivity was highlighted. Nano-structure of catalyst advantages was reported evincing future challenges.
