Lv. Manuilova et al., FORMATION OF W AND MO DISULFIDE STRUCTURES IN SUPPORTED CATALYSTS FORTHIOPHENE HYDROGENATION TO TETRAHYDROTHIOPHENE, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 54(2), 1995, pp. 281-286
Upon decreasing the average size and crystallinity of supported tungst
en (molybdenum) disulfide particles, the catalyst's ability to hydroge
nate thiophene to tetrahydrothiophene increases. Particle dispersity i
ncreases if thiocomplexes deposited from aqueous solutions decompose o
n the inert support surface.
