Mix and more than match : Relative to the catalytic activity of pure Rh nanoparticles in a dendrimer cage, Rh/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles in dendrimers have improved catalytic activity towards the hydrogenation of olefins, and unlike Wilkinson catalyst could catalyze nitroarene hydrogenation (see scheme, G4=4th generation dendrimer).
