Tin(n)y catalysts : Bimetallic RuSn supported nanoparticle catalysts (see picture; Ru green, Sn blue, O red), prepared from the carbonyl‐cluster precursors [Ru 4 (μ 4 ‐SnPh) 2 (μ‐SnPh 2 ) 4− x (CO) 12− x ] ( x =0, 2, 3, 4) are shown to be active catalysts for the highly selective hydrogenation of 1,5,9‐cyclododecatriene to cyclododecene under mild conditions.
