“Doing More with Less”: Ni(II)@ORMOSIL, a Novel Sol-Gel Pre-Catalyst for the Reduction of Nitrobenzene

Reduction of nitrobenzene with NaBH<sub>4</sub> using zero-valent iron nanoparticles (ZVI-NPs) and NiCl<sub>2</sub>∙6H<sub>2</sub>O incorporated in organically modified hybrid silica matrices as ZVI@ORMOSIL and Ni(II)@ORMOSIL catalysts is proposed as a remediation...
