This superior catalytic activity can be due to a combined action of small ruthenium nanoparticles and the titania support. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.Reserva de todos los derechosCarbonCarboxylic acidLactic acidMetal nanoparticlePropionic acidRutheniumTitanium dioxideArticleCatalysisHydrogenationReductionAlcoholsCarboxylic AcidsHydrogenMetal NanoparticlesSubstrate SpecificityTitaniumQUIMICA ORGANICASynergy between the metal nanoparticles and the support for the hydrogenation of functionalized carboxylic acids to diols on Ru/TiO2Artículo10.1039/c0cc05206jCerrado1364-548X
