A compound comprising ruthenium nanoparticles supported on a porous solid support for the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds.

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a catalyst comprising ruthenium nanoparticles supported on a solid support, obtainable by: (a) reacting a ruthenium (0) complex selected from the group consisting of [Ru(diene)(triene)], [Ru(R 6 )(diene)], and Ru 3 (CO) 12 , with a phosphine ligand of formula (I) in the presence of hydrogen; and (b) reacting the ruthenium nanoparticles obtained in Step (a) with a porous solid support, and to the obtained supported phosphine-ruthenium nanoparticles. It is also related to a process for hydrogenating an aromatic compound into the corresponding cyclic saturated or partially unsaturated compound by reaction with hydrogen and in the presence of an effective amount of the obtained supported ruthenium nanoparticles.
