Iron Pyrite Nanocrystals: A Potential Catalyst for Selective Transfer Hydrogenation of Functionalized Nitroarenes.

ABSTRACT: We report a solution-based synthetic method to produce shape-tunable iron pyrite (FeS₂) nanocrystals using iron oxy-hydroxide (β-FeOOH) as a precursor and their application for selective reduction of functionalized nitroarenes to aniline derivatives with formic acid-triethylamine (HCOOH-Et₃N) as a hydrogen donor system.
