title: Heterogeneous hydrogenation catalyses over recyclable Pd(0) nanoparticle catalysts stabilized by PAMAM-SBA-15 organic-inorganic hybrid composites.
abstract: Pd(0) nanoparticle catalysts stabilized by Gn-PAMAM-SBA-15 (n = 1-4) organic-inorganic hybrid composites were successfully prepared. Heterogeneous hydrogenation reaction of allyl alcohol over the Pd(0)-Gn-PAMAM-SBA-15 catalysts showed their high activities with TOFs of 2185, 2266, 711, and 739 and selectivities of 79.0, 82.0, 93.4, and 91.4%, respectively. The activity over the Pd(0)-G4-PAMAM-SBA-15 catalyst was 1.5 times that over the fourth generation PAMAM encapsulated Pd(0) homogeneous catalyst. These catalysts can be easily recovered, reused multiple times, and preserved for one month in the air, maintaining high catalytic efficiencies.
