Hydrogenation Processes at the Surface of Ruthenium Nanoparticles: A NMR Study

Abstract

The reactivity of ruthenium nanoparticles stabilized by 4-(3-phenylpropyl)pyridine in hydrogen transfer and hydrogenation processes was monitored by NMR spectroscopy. Unsaturated substrates such as styrene, 4-vinylpyridine and 4-phenyl-but-3-en-2-one were used as model molecules to investigate the surface properties of nanoparticles by a combination of NMR studies. Interestingly, the hydrides present at the metallic surface after nanoparticles synthesis are selectively transferred to vinylic groups without reducing the aromatic rings, under dihydrogen-free atmosphere. DOSY and NOE NMR experiments permitted to propose a way of interaction of the organic compounds at the metallic surface. In particular, the coordination of the substrate could be evidenced for 4-vinylpyridine and 4-ethylpyridine but not for styrene derivatives.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The regime change from a small to a big molecule is related to the frequency of the spectrometer (ω) and the mobility of the molecules (Tc, the rotation time of the molecule). For ωTc = 1.1, zero intensity for NOE effects; for ωTc < 1.1, positive NOE signals; for ωTc > 1.1, negative NOE signals. Using a 500 MHz spectrometer, molecules with mass lower than 600 g/mol give positive NOE signals.
