Description
Summary:	Highly active and selective: A supported Ru5PtSn nanoparticle cluster (the picture shows an axial projection of a tomogram), prepared from the carbonyl cluster [PtRu5(CO)15(μ‐SnPh2)(μ6‐C)], is an excellent catalyst in the single‐step hydrogenation of dimethyl terephthalate to cyclohexanedimethanol under mild conditions (100 °C, 20 bar H2).
