Hydrogenation of Octine, Cinnamaldehyde, and Naphthalene with SCILL Catalysts

Hydrogenation of Octine, Cinnamaldehyde, and Naphthalene with SCILL Catalysts 

All three additional test reactions confirm the statements already derived about the SCILL concept based on the experiments of COD hydrogenation  

Entry Ionic liquid used for a (%) coating of Pd/SiOj Selectivity in % at the given conversion  

Entry IL used for coating of Pd/SiO Pore filling degree a uptake (50 C) (molgp - ) 

Claus et al. concluded that an ionic liquid is able to modify the active sites facilitating limited reactant diffusion to the active sites which may affect the selectivity comparable to egg-shell-type catalysts. Thus, modification of supported metal catalysts by ILs results in a novel class of solid catalysts on the frontier between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis [57].
