Abstract: | A comparison between the initial reaction rates of nanometric and commercial NaH has been studied in four test reactions:
1) hydrogenolysis of chlorobenzene; 2) selective reduction of cinnamaldehyde to cinnamyl alcohol; 3) metallation of dimethyl
sulfoxide; and 4) catalytic hydrogenation of olefins. The experimental results indicate that when NaH is used as a chemical
reagent in the first three reactions, the initial reaction rates of nano-NaH is 230, 120 and 110 times higher than those of
the commercial ones respectively, and it is in agreement with the difference in specific surface areas between these two forms
of NaH. When NaH is used as a catalyst component together with Cp2TiCl2 in the fourth reaction, catalyst with nano-NaH gives extremely high activity in the hydrogenation of olefins, while the one
with commercial NaH gives no activity at all even if a large amount of the commercial NaH is used to make the total surface
area equivalent to that of nano-NaH. Thus, it is evident that although large specific surface area is important for nano-NaH
to be used as a catalyst component, high surface energy with surface defects seems to be more important. The large specific
surface and the activated surface of nano-NaH with high surface energy should be the main factors for their extremely high
chemical reactivity, while whether the former or the latter one plays a leading role depends on the type of reactions involved.
