Abstract
Silica-supported PdZn catalysts have been studied in CO and CO2 hydrogenati on and in ethylene hydroformylation. The dilution of surface Pd by Zn lower s the hydrogenating capability of the catalysts and favours the production of higher hydrocarbons in CO hydrogenation. The catalyst with a molar ratio Pd:Zn = 3 showed an enhanced ability to insert CO into an M-alkyl bond, th is catalyst produced higher oxygenates in the CO hydrogenation and was the most active in all reactions studied.
