Ligand effect in dissymmetric Cu-Ru and Cu-Pd catalysts

Conclusions For Raney Cu-Ru and Cu-Pd catalysts non-additive changes in the strength of the catalyst-hydrogen bond and in the catalytic activity and enantioselectivity were found to occur with changing composition, indicating the presence of a ligand effect in these systems.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2729–2731, December, 1988.     

Enantioselective hydrogenation on heterogeneous metal catalysts

The rate of formation of the excess of one enantiomeric product in the enantioselective hydrogenation of ethyl acetoacetate (EAA) and acetylacetone (acac) on a Raney copper catalyst modified with chiral aminoacids (AmA) correlates with the formation constants of the mixed complexes [CU EAA AmA] and [Cu acac AmA].

Benzene hydrogenation on platinum-tin bimetallic catalysts

Various catalysts were prepared by impregnating a commercial alumina with solutions containing the complex dichlorobis(trichlorostannato)platinate (II). [Pt Cl₂ (SnCl₃)₂]^2–. After reduction, 1–20 fold variations in the catalytic activity in benzene hydrogenation were observed in direct proportion to the stability of the complex in the impregnating solution.

Cluster ruthenium hydrogenation catalysts

Tetraruthenium dodecacarbonyl tetrahydride and some of its phosphine-substituted derivatives have been tested as homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts. The hydrogenation of cyclohexanone in the presence of H₄Ru₄(CO)₁₂ is first order with respect to the catalyst concentration, the substrate concentration and the partial pressure of hydrogen. The ruthenium cluster is recovered unchanged at the end of the reaction.     

Platinum-palladium catalysts in hydrogenation of methylbenzenes

Hydrogenation of benzene, toluene, o,m and p-xylene over Pt, Pd and Pt–Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts has been studied. Experimental data show that when Pd is added to Pt catalysts, a decrease in activity and changes in selectivity occur. This is explained by the formation of electron-deficient and electrorich metallic species.

Benzene hydrogenation on nickel/honeycomb catalysts

Monolithic supported nickel catalysts were investigated in benzene hydrogenation between 100 and 280 °C. The conversion of benzene to cyclohexane reaches a maximum around 210 °C with a maximum yield at a ratio p^oH₂/p^oBz=3. The experimental results and some kinetic aspects are discussed.

Activation of ruthenium on silica hydrogenation catalysts

Activation of RuCl₃-impregnated silica by nitrogen-hydrogen tratment at high temperature, up to 700 °C, is superior to calcination of the material prior to reduction. Sintering hardly occurs. In addition, activity measurements, based on the liquid phase hydrogenation of benzene, and thermogravimetric analysis suggest a favorable (chemical) interaction between ruthenium and silica.

Crystallite size effect of Pd/charcoal catalysts for benzene hydrogenation

The dispersity, calculated from the particle size distribution functions obtained by Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) measurements, when related to the chemical behavior of Pd/charcoal catalysts in benzene hydrogenation, points out that this reaction is mildly structure-sensitive below the range of 40 Å, whereas no dependence on particle size is observed above this limit.

Synergic effect of palladium-based bimetallic catalysts for the hydrogenation of nitroaromatics

Bimetallic catalysts, PdCl₂-MX_n and PdCl₂(PhCN)₂-Mx_n (MX_n=FeCl₃, Fe(acac)₃, Co(OAc)₂, CoCl₂, Co(acac)₂, NiCl₂, Ni(OAc)₂, RuCl₃, Cu(OAc)₂, CuCl₂), exhibit remarkable synergic effect which can obviously increase the activity of the monometallic Pd catalyst for the hydrogenation of nitroaromatics, whereas MX_n alone is not catalytically active under the same reaction conditions.     

SMSI effect on ceria supported Cu-Pd catalysts in the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene

Ceria-supported copper-palladium catalysts have been tested in the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene. The SMSI behavior of the bimetallic catalysts depended on the temperature of reduction. They were analyzed by H₂ chemisorption and XPS.     

Fluoroacrylate-bound fluorous-phase soluble hydrogenation catalysts

[reaction: see text] Fluoroacrylate polymer-bound hydrogenation catalysts are described. N-Acryloxysuccinimide-containing fluoroacrylate polymers were converted into phosphine ligands and subsequently into analogues of Wilkinson's catalyst by amidation of N-acryloxysuccinimide active ester residues and Rh exchange. The resulting catalysts have excellent activity and can be reused following fluorous biphasic liquid/liquid separation and extraction.     

Enantioselective hydrogenation of ethyl acetoacetate on copper-nickel catalysts and effect of catalyst preparation conditions

Conclusions Enantioselective hydrogenation of ethyl acetoacetate was carried out for the first time on unsupported 11 Cu-Ni catalysts obtained by precipitation. The highest optical yield (50%) was obtained with a catalyst obtained by reduction of oxides at 250°C in a 110 H₂N₂ atmosphere.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No, 11, pp. 2443–2444, November, 1984.     

Copper and copper-palladium catalysts of aliphatic thiols oxidation in biological objects: Quantum-chemical DFT simulation

DFT calculations (M06, PBE0/Def2-TZVP) of coordination compounds used in reactions of selective oxidation of thiols to disulfides were performed. Primary active centers of the catalysts are polynuclear scaffolds {L₂M(μ-OH)₂ML₂}²⁺ and {L₂M(μ-OH)₂M′(μ-OH)₂ML₂}²⁺ (M = Cu^I, Cu^II, Pd^II; M' = Cu^II; L = NH₃). Cu^II ions in combination with PdII ions are capable of formation of polynuclear active center {PdII(μ-OH)₂Cu^II(μ-OH)₂Pd^II}²⁺ bringing together a large number of mutually oriented RS^– groups and thus affecting the rate of formation of disulfide R₂S₂.     

Bimetallic catalysts for hydrogenation in liquid phase

Activity and selectivity of bimetallic catalysts for two model reactions, citral hydrogenation in isopropanol and nitrate reduction in water, are reviewed on the basis of results obtained over bimetallic systems prepared in our laboratory, notably by redox techniques. The parent metal is generally a noble metal (Rh, Pd, Pt), while the additive is most often a non-noble metal (Ge, Sn, Cu…) whose oxidation state plays an important role in hydrogenation. Dramatic improvements of the selectivity to unsaturated alcohols are observed in citral hydrogenation with adequate deposition of the additive and pretreatment of the final catalyst. In nitrate reduction, the second metal essentially affects the first step of the process (conversion of nitrate to nitrite) but the global selectivity (limitation of NH₃ formation) may be significantly improved by tuning the couple parent metal–additive. Other aspects such as the choice of the support and the optimization of reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, pH effects in water) are also discussed.     

Gas phase hydrogenation of m-xylene on palladium catalysts

Gas phase hydrogenation of m-xylene on palladium supported catalysts was studied and compared with the hydrogenation of o-xylene. The modification in the stereoselectivity of palladium due to an increase in the acidity of the support is explained in terms of an increased residence time of the reactive species on the active surface, leading to a product composition closer to that predicted by thermodynamics.
