Scientists have developed a one-step synthetic approach to create core-shell CuPd@Pd nanoparticles with an intermetallic B2-CuPd core and a thin (∼0.6 nm) Pd shell, which enhances activity toward selective hydrogenation of Ar-NO2 and allows one-pot tandem hydrogenation of Ar-NO2 to Ar-NH2 and its condensation with Ar-CHO to form Ar-N═CH-Ar.
