Abstract:
A catalyst in which Pd nanoparticles are supported on triangle-shaped La2 O2 CO3 nanosheets exposing predominantly the (001) planes (Pd/La2 O2 CO3 -TNS; where TNS denotes triangular nanosheets) was prepared by a facile solvothermal method. The Pd/La2 O2 CO3 -TNS catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic activity and recycling stability for hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde to hydrocinnamaldehyde with turnover frequency of up to 41 238 h-1 . This enhanced activity of Pd/La2 O2 CO3 -TNS results from strong metal-support interactions. Structure analysis and characterization demonstrated that surface-oxygen-enriched La2 O2 CO3 -TNS supports exposing (001) planes are beneficial to charge transfer between the Pd nanoparticles and triangle-shaped La2 O2 CO3 nanosheets and increase the electron density of Pd. Moreover, the modulated electronic states of the Pd/La2 O2 CO3 -TNS catalysts can enhance the adsorption and activation of hydrogen to enhance the hydrogenation activity.

02:17Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
02:13Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.

02:24Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
