Effect of active site distribution on liquid-phase olefin hydrogenation over polymer-supported palladium complex

Abstract

Chloromethylated polystyrene beads with different distributions have been prepared and phosphinated. PdCl2 was supported on the phosphinated supports to give polymer-supported Pd complex catalysts with different active site distributions. The effect of active site distribution on catalytic activity was investigated in the hydrogenation of olefins.
