Differential Selectivity of Palladium–Phosphorus Catalysts in the Competitive Hydrogenation of Isomeric Chloronitrobenzenes

详细

The competitive hydrogenation of сhloronitrobenzene isomers in the presence of different palladium- containing catalysts was studied. The nature of catalytic activity carriers for the Pd–P nanoparticles containing both Pd(0) clusters and palladium phosphides was determined by the method of phase trajectories. It was found that the hydrogenation of сhloronitrobenzene isomers under mild conditions occurred on the clusters of Pd(0), and the dependence of the differential selectivity of Pd–P clusters in the hydrogenation of o- and m-сhloronitrobenzene on the P/Pd ratio was related to the dispersity of the Pd(0) clusters.
