title: Highly efficient catalysts for the hydrogenation of nitro-substituted aromatics.
abstract: Nanoparticles of Co and NiPd, derived from colloidal precursors and supported on commercially available non-ordered mesoporous silica, are highly effective, cheap, recyclable and industrially viable catalysts for the hydrogenation of a range of nitro-substituted aromatics under mild conditions.
