Comparison of dinitrodiamminepalladium with palladium nitrate as a precursor for Pd/SiO2 with respect to catalytic behavior for ethane hydroformylation and carbon monoxide hydrogenation
The catalytic behavior of the two kinds of Pd/SiO2 catalysts prepared from dinitrodiamminepalladium and palladium nitrate are compared for ethene hydroformylation and carbon monoxide hydrogenation. The catalyst prepared from dinitrodiamminepalladium, on which very fine particles of Pd were observed, showed high activity for ethene hydroformylation. On the other hand, the catalyst prepared from palladium nitrate, on which relatively large particles of Pd were observed, showed high activity for CO hydrogenation.
