“…[1,2] Many kinds of heterogeneous Pd-based catalysts have been designed and utilized in the hydrogenation of phenylacetylene. For example, Pd nanoparticles (NPs) supportedo nf unctionalized polymers [3] and polymer-based stereocomplexes, [4] MCM-41, [5] carbon materials, [6] and a-Al 2 O 3 [7] have been used in this reaction. Goodc onversions and selectivities were obtained in most of these studies, however,t he hydrogenation of phenylacetylene at room temperature and atmosphericp ressure is reportedr arely.T herefore, although numerous efforts have been put into this reaction, [8] there is still room fori mprovement under extremely mild conditions (298 K, H 2 1atm).…”
