The liquid-phase catalytic hydrogenation of several styrene derivatives, PhCH=CHR (R = H, CH,OH, CHO, COMe, C02H, and CO,Me), has been carried out at 293-333 K with 0.41 MPa of initial hydrogen pressure on nickel catalysts at 20 wt% supported on A1,03, Si O,, and on t w o different types of AIPO,. The metal-support interaction effects as well as the substituent effects can be evaluated through several isokinetic parameters obtained due t o the existence of a linear correlation between the activation parameters AHt and ASt (and between I n A and E,) known as the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
