Abstract:
Interparticle hydrogen spillover is the phenomenon of H migration over different catalyst particles, which should be a physical mixture of at least two solid catalysts. In this review, we analyze examples of enhanced catalysis based on interparticle (reverse) hydrogen spillover. Simple physical mixtures of powdered catalysts containing metal catalysts of H2 dissociation/recombination and solid catalysts with active sites for substrate activation significantly enhance catalytic reactions. These reactions include aromatic hydrogenation, CO2 methanation, and the deoxydehydration of polyols, aromatization of lower paraffins, and direct coupling of benzene and alkanes. The acceleration effect and proposed reaction pathway of each example involving interparticle (reverse) hydrogen spillover are summarized. Simple reaction systems comprising physical mixtures of at least two powdery solid catalysts should enable unique catalysis in the future with the aid of interparticle (reverse) hydrogen spillover.

Reduction 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.

Reduction 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...
Reduction 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.

In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...
