Abstract
Pd nanoparticles (Pd/SiC) with a main exposed plane of Pd (111) were prepared by liquid phase reduction. The use of formaldehyde as a methylation reagent for the photocatalytic methylation of aromatic nitro compounds to N,N-methylaniline resulted in one-pot methylations of aromatic nitro compounds with high photocatalytic activity and selectivity under mild reaction conditions. The high catalytic activity of Pd/SiC in N-methylation reactions arises from the Mott-Schottky contact between Pd and SiC, which promotes the transfer of photogenerated electrons to Pd. The high selectivity is ascribed to the ability of Pd nanoparticles to catalyze the hydrogenation of nitro groups to amino groups, which subsequently undergo direct methylation with formaldehyde, bypassing the intermediate formylation step.
期刊介绍：
Nanomaterials (ISSN 2076-4991) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves nanomaterials, with respect to their science and application. Thus, theoretical and experimental articles will be accepted, along with articles that deal with the synthesis and use of nanomaterials. Articles that synthesize information from multiple fields, and which place discoveries within a broader context, will be preferred. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental or methodical details, or both, must be provided for research articles. Computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Nanomaterials is dedicated to a high scientific standard. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous reviewing process and decisions are based on the recommendations of independent reviewers.
