Buta-1,3-diene hydrogenation on a deuterium sulphide-treated molybdenum disulphide catalyst
Abstract
Deuterium, introduced as D2S to a molybdenum disulphide catalyst, has been found to exchange with gas-phase hydrogen and to be incorporated into hydrocarbon products when buta-1,3-diene is hydrogenated on the catalyst; evidence is presented for the participation of hydrogen present on the surface as SH groups.
