Popis: The present paper introduced the preparation and characterization of a highly active unsupported MoS 2 catalyst for hydrogenation of aromatic rings. In the present method, ammonium-tetrathiomolybdate was decomposed in an autoclave under water and a high pressure of H 2 . The high hydrogenation activity of the catalyst was attributed to very low stacking of MoS 2 layers with much curvature that was confirmed by transmission electron microscopic observation, low (002) reflection peak intensity by X-ray diffraction, and other spectroscopic techniques. The surface area of the freshly prepared catalyst was 250 m 2 /g, but significantly reduced after the reaction at a high temperature. The hydrogenation activity of the present catalyst was further enhanced by the addition of a Ni promoter and exceeded that of oil-soluble MoDTC in the reaction of tetralin.
