Abstract

Silica-supported Pd, Rh and Pt metal nanoparticles catalyze the hydrogenolysis of the Pt−OPh bond of (tbpy)Pt(OPh)Cl to release PhOH. Based on kinetic studies monitored by 1H NMR spectroscopy, the reactivity trend is Pd>Rh>Pt. Kinetic studies with Pd/SiO2 are consistent with a first-order dependence on the catalyst and the molecular Pt(II) complex (tbpy)Pt(OPh)Cl. Using TEM-EDS mapping and ICP-OES measurements of a recovered Pd catalyst, after 1 hour of hydrogenolysis of (tbpy)Pt(OPh)Cl, approximately 10–16 % Pt deposition (relative to Pd mol %) on the Pd/SiO2 surface was quantified.
