Breaking scaling relationships in alkynol semi-hydrogenation by manipulating interstitial atoms in Pd with d-electron gain
Abstract
Circumventing the linear scaling relationship in the semi-hydrogenation is challenging. Here the authors report a method for breaking the scaling relationships using ordered mesoporous carbon-supported Pd nanocatalysts with d-electron gain by p-block atoms occupying interstitial sites in the lattice as a greener alternative to Lindlar catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of alkynols.
