Abstract

Some of the unique features of gold catalysis were described in Part 1. Further examples of reactions catalysed by supported transition metal oxides are given in this second part. These include both selective and complete oxidation of hydrocarbons and a number of hydrogenation reactions. In fact, gold has now been demonstrated to be the element of choice for some catalytic reactions. As a result, both chemical processing and environmental applications are foreseen for supported gold catalyst systems. In this, the second of two articles, the overall current state of knowledge on gold catalysis is reviewed and some early examples of homogeneous gold catalysis, in solution, assessed.

Additional information

The material for this article is based on the second part of a talk presented at the IPMI Annual Meeting in Toronto, 17 June 1998 which has now been published as part of the Precious Metals 1998 ‘Proceedings of the Conference held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada’.

David Thompson has participated in and managed upstream, basic and applied research activities in universities (Imperial College, London and University of California, Los Angeles), ICI, and Johnson Matthey. His published papers are concerned with catalysis and materials topics, particularly those involved with precious metals, as well as with organic and inorganic chemistry. He isTechnical Editor ofGold Bulletin and Consultant to World Gold Council. In his freelance work as a chemical consultant he advises on catalyst system design for chemical processing, pollution control and gas detection. Some of this work is performed in collaboration with universities, and he helps industrial organizations to optimize their contacts with university research. He has contributed to and assisted in the editing of a new book to be published in 1999 entitled ‘The Company of the Future’.
