Palladium nanoparticles were fixed inside zeolite crystals to obtain a catalyst with superior selectivity for the hydrogenation of substituted nitroarenes with multiple reducible groups. In their Communication on page 9747 ff., L. Wang, F.‐S. Xiao, and co‐workers show that the high selectivity is due to the sterically controlled adsorption of the nitroarenes on the palladium nanoparticles within the zeolite micropores.
