Highly active and selective : A supported Ru 5 PtSn nanoparticle cluster (the picture shows an axial projection of a tomogram), prepared from the carbonyl cluster [PtRu 5 (CO) 15 (μ‐SnPh 2 )(μ 6 ‐C)], is an excellent catalyst in the single‐step hydrogenation of dimethyl terephthalate to cyclohexanedimethanol under mild conditions (100 °C, 20 bar H 2 ).
