- functional groups of the linker chains on the functionalized silica gel surface were compared in gas-phase hydrogenation of propyne and propene. Their stability, activity and product selectivity were evaluated. Furthermore, the use of parahydrogen in the reaction provided useful mechanistic information by delivering nuclear spin hyperpolarization of the reaction products with the associated enhancement of their NMR signals. In contrast to Rh-based catalysts which showed a pronounced tendency to reduction, for Ir-based catalysts an XPS analysis did not reveal any indication of the formation of a metal phase under reducing conditions upon hydrogenation of propyne or propene at 120 °C.
