Abstract

A bi-metallic Rh_sSn(C₄H₉)₂/SiO₂ catalyst can be obtained by partial hydrogenolysis, at 423 K, of Sn(n-C₄H₉)₄ on surface rhodium atoms (Rh_s) of Rh(0) particles supported on SiO₂. The catalyst has been found to be extremely active and selective in the hydrogenation of citral (geranial and neral) to the corresponding unsaturated alcohols (geraniol and nerol): 96% selectivity at 100% conversion. This selectivity is observed when the rhodium particles are covered with Sn(C₄H₉)_x fragments. These fragments are coordinated to naked zero-valent tin atoms, as determined by various analytical and spectroscopic methods.
