Abstract

Several metallic glasses in the form of ribbons were screened for activity as hydrogenation catalysts. Pd80Si20 and (Ni50Fe50)80B20 showed activity in reducing cyclohexene. Pd 80 Si20 was further examined for differences between the glassy and crystalline phases in the selectivity shown during hydrogenation reactions of n-hexenes, phenylethyne, α-pinene, and cyclododecene. No significant differences were found for catalytic selectivity in regard to cis-trans isomerization, double bond migration, and stereochemistry of addition under the reaction conditions used. Minor differences were observed in hydrogen-deuterium exchange.
