Popis: The catalytic properties of new Pd-Zn/Al2O3 catalysts in selective acetylene hydrogenation in an acetylene-ethylene mixture at 30–120°C and atmospheric pressure are reported. The catalysts prepared from the bimetallic complex Pd-Zn(OOCMe)4(OH2) are much more selective than the catalysts prepared by simultaneously supporting the homonuclear complexes Pd3(OOCMe)6 and Zn(OOCMe)2 · 2H2O. It is demonstrated by diffuse reflectance IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO that the heat treatment of the supported bimetallic complex at 250°C in flowing H2 yields a Pd-Zn alloy on the surface. It is this alloy that ensures the high selectivity of the Pd-Zn/Al2O3 catalysts.
