In order to design catalytic materials, we need to understand the essential causes for material properties resulting from its composite nature. In this paper we discuss two, at first sight, diverse aspects: (a) the effect of the oxide–metal interface on metal nanoparticle properties and (b) the consequences of metal particle modification after activation on the selectivity of hydrogenation reactions. However, these two aspects are intimately linked. The metal nanoparticle’s electronic structure changes at the interface as a catalyst is brought to different reaction temperatures due to morphological modifications in the metal and, as we will discuss, these changes in the chemistry lead to changes in the reaction path. As the morphology of the particle varies, facets of different orientations and sizes are exposed, which may lead to a change in the surface chemistry as well. We use two specific reactions to address these issues in some detail. To the best of our knowledge, the present paper reports the first observations of this kind for well-defined model systems. The changes in the electronic structure of Au nanoparticles due to their size and interaction with a supporting oxide are revealed as a function of temperature using CO2 activation as a probe. The presence of spectator species (oxopropyl), formed during an activation step of acrolein hydrogenation, strongly controls the selectivity of the reaction towards hydrogenation of the unsaturated CO bond vs. the CC bond on Pd(111) when compared with oxide-supported Pd nanoparticles.

We looked at the active hydrogen species in a highly dispersed and very homogeneous 5 wt% Pt/C industrial catalyst (Pt particle mean diameter of 2.0 ± 0.5 nm) for hydrogenation reactions, by coupling H2 adsorption measurements with Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS).

A novel transfer hydrogenation methodology for the reduction of ketones (14 examples) and benzaldehyde derivatives (12 examples) to the corresponding alcohols using Pd nanoparticles supported on mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (mpg-C3N4/Pd) as a reusable catalyst and ammonia borane as a safe hydrogen source in an aqueous solution MeOH/H2O (v/v = 1/1) is described. The catalytic hydrogenation reactions were conducted in a commercially available high-pressure glass tube at room temperature, and the corresponding alcohols were obtained in high yields in 2–5 min. Moreover, the presented transfer hydrogenation protocol shows partial halogen selectivity with bromo-, fluoro-, and chloro-substituted carbonyl analogs. In addition, the present catalyst can be reused up to five times without losing its efficiency, and scaling-up the reaction enables α-methylbenzyl alcohol to be produced in 90% isolated yield.
