Abstract

A new type of catalyst from supporting C60 on MoO3 and Al2O3 has been prepared. The effect of different order of impregnation and calcination atmosphere on catalyst are investigated by the solution test in toluene, UV-VIS spectroscopy and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The results show that when the catalyst was prepared by supporting MoO3 on C60/Al2O3 and calcined in N2, there is a stronger interaction between C60, MoO3 and Al2O3, but when supporting C60 on MoO3/Al2O3, the interaction is relatively weak. We consider that in the former method a new complex, Mo−C60−O−Al, is formed.
