Polymer-modified supported palladium catalysts for the hydrogenation of acetylene compounds

Palladium catalysts supported on zinc oxide modified with polyethylene glycol or pectin were synthesized and investigated in the hydrogenation of acetylene compounds. It was established that the polymercontaining catalysts reduce acetylene hyrbons to olefins with high activity, selectivity, and stability. The composition and structure of the obtained composites were studied by elemental analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and XPS spectroscopy. It was found that the nanosized particles of palladium uniformly immobilized on the surface of zinc oxide were formed in the course of the synthesis of a supported polymer/oxide complex.     

Carbon nanofiber supported palladium catalyst for liquid-phase reactions: An active and selective catalyst for hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde into hydrocinnamaldehyde

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) prepared by decomposition of ethane over a Ni/alumina catalyst, are used as support for palladium clusters. The carbon support displays a mean diameter of 40–50 nm, lengths up to several tens of micrometers, as highlighted by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations and a specific surface area of about 50 m²/g. The spheroidal palladium particles have a relatively homogeneous and sharp size distribution, centered at around 4 nm. This novel Pd/carbon nanofiber catalyst displays unusual catalytic properties and is successfully used in the selective hydrogenation of the C=C bond in cinnamaldehyde at a reaction temperature of around 80°C, under continuous hydrogen flowing at atmospheric pressure. The high performances of this novel catalyst in terms of efficiency and selectivity are, respectively, related to the inhibition of the mass-transfer processes over this non-porous material and to peculiar palladium–carbon interactions. It is concluded that the absence of microporosity in the carbon nanofibers favours both the high activity and selectivity which is confirmed by comparison with the commercially available high surface area charcoal supported palladium catalyst.     

Activity of some crystal faces of supported palladium catalysts for benzene hydrogenation

Using known coverages of preadsorbed carbon monoxide as a specific poison on supported polycrystalline Pd, the degree of benzene conversion into cyclohexane was measured and compared with the conversion over a CO-free catalyst surface. Palladium crystal faces adsorbing carbon monoxide in various manners are uniformly active for benzene hydrogenation, which appears to be a structure insensitive reaction.

Development of magnetic,ferrite supported palladium catalysts for 2,4-dinitrotoluene hydrogenation

Cobalt, copper, and nickel ferrite spinel nanoparticles have been synthesized by using a combination of sonochemical treatment and combustion. The magnetic nanoparticles have been used as supports to prepare ~4 wt% palladium catalysts. The ferrites were dispersed in an ethanolic solution of Pd(II) nitrate by ultrasonication. The palladium ions were reduced to metallic Pd nanoparticles, which were then attached to the surface of the different metal oxide supports. Thus, three different catalysts (Pd/CoFe₂O₄, Pd/CuFe₂O₄, Pd/NiFe₂O₄) were made and tested in the hydrogenation of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT). A possible reaction mechanism, including the detected species, has been envisaged based on the results. The highest 2,4-diaminotoluene (TDA) yield (99 n/n%) has been achieved by using the Pd/NiFe₂O₄ catalyst. Furthermore, the TDA yield was also reasonable (84.2 n/n%) when the Pd/CoFe₂O₄ catalyst was used. In this case, complete and easy recovery of the catalyst from the reaction medium is ensured, as the ferrite support is fully magnetic. Thus, the catalyst is very well suited for applicationy in the hydrogenation of DNT or other aromatic nitro compounds.     

Cooligomerization of carbon monoxide with cyclic olefins on supported palladium catalysts

The cooligomerization of CO with cyclic olefins, such as norbornene, 5-vinyl-2-norbornene, and dicyclopentadiene, in toluene in the presence of supported palladium catalysts containing 2,2’-bipyridine as a ligand is studied. It is shown that, during copolymerization, opening of the double bond in a ring occurs, while in the case of 5-vinyl-2-norbornene, vinyl bond C=C is not involved in the reaction. When ethylene is added to the reaction mixture, it does not participate in polymer-chain growth. The yield of the process is commensurable with the yield attained in the case of a homogeneous catalytic system, and the conversion of olefins is as high as 47%. The copolymers in the solid state occur in the form of spiroketal structures that, during dissolution, transform into ketone structures to different extents.     

Cationic palladium(II) complexes of ferrocenylphosphines as homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts for olefins

Cationic palladium(II) complexes of ferrocenylphosphines [(L-L′)Pd(S)₂][ClO₄]₂ ((L-L′) = Fe(η⁵-C₅H₄P (C₆H₅)₂)₂ 1, or Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)(η⁵C₅H₃(CHMeNMe₂)P(C₆H₅)₂-1,2) 2a: S=pyridine or dimethylformamide) were prepared and characterized. The derivatives of 2a are effective catalysts for the hydrogenation of simple olefins at 30°C (1 atm H₂). The rate of reduction of styrene depends on the substrate concentration, catalyst concentration and the solvent, and is only slightly inhibited (16%) by the addition of mercury. These observations are conistent with a homogeneous catalytic system.

炔醇选择加氢催化剂研究进展

炔醇选择加氢制备相应的烯醇在医药、农药、食品添加剂、香精、香料和聚合物单体等众多高端精细化学品合成中是一个非常重要的化工过程.通过一系列复杂的平行和连续的反应,炔醇可加氢生产若干个关键中间体.提高对烯醇的选择性和保持催化剂的效率是工业生产的关键,也是一个巨大的挑战.迄今为止,各种有效的贵金属和非贵金属催化剂得到了广泛的发展,尤其是钯基和镍基多相催化剂取得了显著进展.从经典的Lindlar催化剂和Raney-Ni催化剂到生物基金属催化新材料,本文系统综述了近几十年炔醇选择加氢催化剂的设计,从催化剂本身的金属活性中心、助剂(第二金属、有机配体和稳定剂)的作用、载体的性质(孔结构、酸碱性、金属与载体强相互作用)以及反应条件等因素对催化活性、目标产物的选择性和稳定性的影响进行了系统的综述.借助先进的表征技术、理论计算和实验研究,本文还阐述了炔醇选择加氢反应的机理.研究发现:(1)在所有贵金属催化剂中,Pd基催化剂对炔醇半加氢制烯醇的效率最高,且选择性最好.稳定剂和抑制剂的加入可以提高中间体的选择性,但在一定程度上降低了催化活性.此外,Zn,In和Cu等第二金属的掺杂可以调节金属Pd的几何效应和电子结构,从而调节底物和中间产物的吸附,并抑制过度加氢.与传统的Lindlar型催化剂相比,这种Pd基合金或金属间化合物可广泛应用于炔醇的选择性加氢反应,显著提高烯醇的选择性,且不需要引入有毒添加剂.(2)Ni基材料作为可替代贵金属催化剂,可分别实现炔醇的高选择性加氢制备烯醇或烷醇.然而,与贵金属催化剂相比,其反应条件相对苛刻.炔醇加氢产物分布很大程度上取决于助剂的引入和载体的酸性.此外,碳物种易沉积在Ni表面造成活性位点被覆盖,且在水热环境下Ni颗粒因团聚而失活,因此,用于炔醇选择加氢反应的镍基催化剂稳定性仍有待提高.尽管炔醇选择加氢反应在学术界和工业界都有广泛研究,但对于这些催化体系,特别是催化剂的结构性能关系和反应机理,仍有待进一步明确.(1)原位表征技术和理论计算的发展,将有助于人们理解炔醇选择性加氢的催化过程,并指导研究者根据炔醇加氢的特点设计出具有良好选择性的高效催化剂.(2)烯醇类产品一般应用于医药中间体和高分子单体,对产品纯度要求较高.因此,在不引入有毒添加剂的情况下,设计高效、高选择性催化剂至关重要.(3)水相或醇相中炔醇选择加氢反应对催化剂的水热稳定性有很高的要求.通过锚定和包覆来增强金属与载体的相互作用,抑制金属纳米粒子的聚集和流失是一种有效的手段.此外,在炔醇选择加氢反应中引入耐水载体可以有效提高催化剂的稳定性.(4)短碳链炔醇催化选择加氢反应一直是研究的热点.然而,关于长碳链炔醇的选择加氢反应过程,国内外报道相对较少.基于长碳链炔醇底物分子的空间位阻效应,有必要设计具有特殊孔道结构的选择加氢催化剂.(5)目前,绝大多数炔醇选择加氢过程还处于间歇性操作.随着市场对烯醇的需求不断增加,为了获得高品质的产品,连续化操作将是一个必然趋势.     

Highly selective hydrogenation of acetophenone over supported amorphous alloy catalyst

Alpha-phenylethanol (PE) is an essential chemical in the field of medicine and synthetic perfumery. Therefore, in this work, we used a supported Ni–B–P amorphous alloy catalyst (Ni–B–P/SiO₂) in the hydrogenation of acetophenone (AP) to α-PE, which demonstrated excellent catalytic activity and selectivity, compared with Ni–B/SiO₂ (KBH₄ reduction of nickel salt). Ni–B–P/SiO₂ exhibited a high AP hydrogenation conversion of approximately 99%, whereas the PE selectivity reached up to 94%, which is approximately 1.4-fold higher than that of Ni–B/SiO₂ (about 69%), thereby directly proving the unique inhibition of AP hydrogenation over hydrogenation of P in the Ni–B catalytic system. The doped P in Ni–B–P/SiO₂ enhances the oxidation resistance and maintains the valence stability of Ni and B. Furthermore, sufficient experimental data were collected to determine the kinetic parameters. Based on the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model, we assumed that (i) AP and H₂ compete for adsorption on Ni–B–P/SiO₂; (ii) AP has strong adsorptive capacity on Ni–B–P/SiO₂; and (iii) PE coverage on the catalyst was negligible. Then, the dynamic equation was derived, which indicated that experimental data agree well with the dynamic model. Finally, the activation energy was confirmed to be 50.73 KJ/mol. This report will open up an avenue for the industrialization of amorphous alloy catalysts.

Influence of oxygen on catalytic properties of supported palladium catalysts in CO hydrogenation

It has been established that the addition of oxygen to synthesis gas has a positive effect of the activity and selectivity of supported palladium catalysts in methanol synthesis. The degree of the effect of oxygen depends on the chemical nature of the support and the conditions of catalysis, preceding the addition of oxygen to the reaction mixture. The probable causes for the influence of oxygen on the catalytic properties of palladium, supported on oxide supports, have been discussed.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 25, No. 5, pp. 557–563, September–October, 1989.     

Structured polyphenylenes as carriers of palladium nanoparticles used as selective hydrogenation catalysts

Structured polyphenylenes that are used as matrices for immobilization of palladium nanoparticles are synthesized through the cyclocondensation of acetylaromatic compounds followed by structuring at different temperatures and, as a result, different crosslink densities. The relationship between the structure and structuring temperature of the polymers is investigated. It is shown that the sizes of palladium nanoparticles immobilized in polyphenylene matrices depend on the conditions of polymer structuring. The resulting catalytic systems are examined for the selective hydrogenation of triple bonds in acetylene alcohols.     

硫存在下Beta沸石负载钯催化剂上的芳烃加氢性能研究

采用浸渍和离子交换方法，制备了一系列H-Beta沸石负载钯催化剂，并用XRD，N2吸附和氨程序升温脱附进行了表征。采用连续流动固定床反应器，在总压4 MPa，270 ℃，液体空速为16 h－1和硫的质量分数为100×10－6的条件下进行了四氢萘的加氢反应。实验结果表明，钯催化剂的催化性能与催化剂制备方法及载体的硅铝比有关系。对Pd/Beta25(25是硅铝比，下同)来说,离子交换(IE)催化剂的加氢活性高于对应的初湿浸渍(IWI)样品。对于所有离子交换催化剂，Pd/Beta80(IE)在整个反应期间催化活性及抗硫性最好。Pd/Beta25(IE)四氢萘的初始转化率高达77％，失活最快，8 h降到10％；Pd/Beta60(IE)初始转化率为60％，8 h后为16％；Beta80负载催化剂最稳定，起始和8 h后转化率分别为75％和55％。离子交换的Beta80负载Pd催化剂的优良催化活性可以归结为催化剂中有较高比例的中强和强酸性位的存在，尤其中强酸比例较高，同时较多中孔的存在也是其中的影响因素之一。少量Al2O3的添加可以改善催化剂的活性。     

Highly active supported catalysts for olefin polymerization. Supports from a grignard reagent for preparation of highly active catalysts

Supports were obtained by the interaction of C₄H₉MgCl with the reaction mixture of AlCl₃ and CH₃Si(OC₂H₅)₃ or Si(OC₂H₅)₄ (Mg/Al/Si = 2/1/1). With the combination of Al(C₂H₅)₃ and methyl-p-toluate, immobilized titanium catalysts prepared by the treatment of the supports with TiCl₄ and ethylbenzoate showed extraordinary high activity and stereoregularity in the polymerization of propylene.¹ By the study of the reaction of AlCl₃ with CH₃Si(OC₂H₅)₃, the elemental analysis and powder x-ray diffractometric measurements of the supports, it was found that the supports comprised of Cl, Mg, Al, and Si atoms, OC₂H₅ groups, C₄H₉ groups, and ethers, and that they were amorphous solids to the extent that the x-ray diffraction peak assigned to the 003 plane in MgCl₂ crystals completely disappeared.
