Magnesium fluoride as a catalytic support in hydrodechlorination of CCl₂F₂ (CFC-12)

Abstract

Magnesium fluoride-supported palladium and ruthenium appear to be useful catalysts in the reaction of CCl₂F₂ (CFC-12) hydrodechlorination; after doping Pd/MgF₂ with gold the selectivity for CH₂F₂ increased from ≡70 to almost 90%.
