title: Ruthenium(0) nanoclusters supported on hydroxyapatite: highly active, reusable and green catalyst in the hydrogenation of aromatics under mild conditions with an unprecedented catalytic lifetime.
abstract: The preparation of ruthenium(0) nanoclusters supported on hydroxyapatite and their characterization by a combination of complementary techniques are described. The resultant ruthenium(0) nanoclusters provide high activity and reusability in the complete hydrogenation of aromatics under mild conditions (at 25 degrees C and with 42 psi initial H(2) pressure).
