Abstract
A magnetically separable palladium catalyst is highly active and selective for epoxide hydrogenolysis at room temperature under 1 atm H2 and can be recycled without loss of activity. The catalyst was synthesized simply through a sol-gel process incorporating palladium nanoparticles and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles in aluminum oxyhydroxide matrix.
