Unsaturated-compound hydrogenation nanocatalysts based on palladium and platinum particles immobilized in pores of mesoporous aromatic frameworks

Resumo

Heterogeneous catalysts for the hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons have been synthesized on the basis of palladium and platinum nanoparticles immobilized in pores of mesoporous aromatic frameworks, which represent a new class of carbon supports with a diamond-like ordered structure. The resulting materials have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy, IR spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy. It has been shown that the catalyst activity in the hydrogenation reaction depends on the substrate molecule size and adsorbability on the surface of nanoparticles. Catalytic activity has been studied in the hydrogenation of a number of unsaturated compounds at temperatures of 60 and 80°C and pressures of 1.0 and 3.0 MPa.
