title: Transfer hydrogenation of alkenes using Ni/Ru/Pt/Au heteroquatermetallic nanoparticle catalysts: sequential cooperation of multiple nano-metal species.
abstract: Quatermetallic alloy nanoparticles of Ni/Ru/Pt/Au were prepared and found to promote the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of non-activated alkenes bearing conjugating units (e.g., 4-phenyl-1-butene) with 2-propanol, where the composition metals, Ni, Ru, Pt, and Au, act cooperatively to provide significant catalytic ability.
