Abstract
Abstract Transition metal single atom catalysts (SACs) with M 1 -N x coordination configuration have shown outstanding activity and selectivity for hydrogenation of nitroarenes. Modulating the atomic coordination structure has emerged as a promising strategy to further improve the catalytic performance. Herein, we report an atomic Co 1 /NPC catalyst with unsymmetrical single Co 1 -N 3 P 1 sites that displays unprecedentedly high activity and chemoselectivity for hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes. Compared to the most popular Co 1 -N 4 coordination, the electron density of Co atom in Co 1 -N 3 P 1 is increased, which is more favorable for H 2 dissociation as verified by kinetic isotope effect and…
