TL;DR: This review will comprehensively discuss the use of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts based on non-noble 3d-metals for the reduction of nitro compounds using various reductants.

TL;DR: A variety of diversely functionalized nitroarenes including some pharmaceutically active compounds were converted into aromatic amines in high yields, with high selectivity, and with excellent functional group tolerance.

TL;DR: Ar-BIANs and related α-diimine Co complexes were wet impregnated onto Vulcan® XC 72 R carbon black powder and used as precursors for the synthesis of heterogeneous supported nanoscale catalysts by pyrolysis under argon at 800°C.

TL;DR: In this article, the preparation of carbon-supported nickel-based nanoparticles (NPs), modified by nitrogen-doped graphene layers, is reported for the first time, and the resulting materials were characterized in detail by TEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), XRD, elemental analysis (EA), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), BET, and Raman analysis.

TL;DR: An improved hydrogenation of nitroarenes using nano-structured iron-and cobalt-based catalysts is presented in this paper, where modifications of the heterogeneous catalysts by N-doped graphene-flakes are crucial for the success of selective reductions.
