Abstract
Selective reduction of nitrobenzene has been measured on several kinds of Mn3O4 catalysts obtained by different methods of preparation. Atte ntion is mainly given to the relationship between catalytic performanc e of different Mn3O4 materials and their redox behaviour. It was found that the catalyst having the most active redox behaviour favoured the formation of highly reduced product (e.g, aniline etc) but, the catal yst having the least active redox behaviour showed poor catalytic acti vity. It seems that the catalytic as well as the redox behaviour of Mn 3O4 could be related to the Jahn-Teller effect.
