Research Data Supporting "Selective hydrogenation of arenes to cyclohexanes in water catalyzed by chitin-supported ruthenium nanoparticles"

Supporting data for the publication "Selective hydrogenation of arenes to cyclohexanes in water catalyzed by chitin-supported ruthenium nanoparticles" by Morioka et al. Synthesis and analytical data for ruthenium-based nanoparticulate catalysts immobilized on chitin. These were prepared in Cambridge in 2015-16. Results of catalytic tests (selective hydrogenation of arenes to cyclohexanes) using these materials conducted in Cambridge and in Nagoya in 2015-16.
