T. Braun et al., FULLERENE-BASED RUTHENIUM CATALYSTS - A NOVEL-APPROACH FOR ANCHORING METAL TO CARBONACEOUS SUPPORTS .2. HYDROGENATION ACTIVITY, Catalysis letters, 43(3-4), 1997, pp. 175-180
The influence of fullerenes and related support materials on the catal
ytic properties of ruthenium was investigated The catalytic behaviour
of catalysts based on C-60, raw fullerene black, extracted fullerene b
lack, cathode deposit, and graphite was examined using low-temperature
CO hydrogenation and liquid-phase hydrogenation of 2-cyclohexenone at
atmospheric pressure. The relevance of non-six-membered carbon rings
(NSMCR) in support materials on the stability and catalytic performanc
e of the Ru particles will be illustrated.
