Organic-inorganic nano-hybrid decorated by copper (II) incarceration: A versatile catalytic assembly for the swift reduction of aromatic nitro and dye compounds

Organic-inorganic nano-hybrid decorated by copper (II) incarceration: A versatile catalytic assembly for the swift reduction of aromatic nitro and dye compounds. A new copper (II) impregnated organic-inorganic nano-hybrid (Cu·Am-sil@SiO2) has been fabricated by following recently developed 'atrane' route. The nano-composite has depicted an excellent catalytic property for the reduction of a series of aromatic nitro compounds and diverse organic dyes.
