Studies of Cu-Ni supported catalysts for enantioselective hydrogenation

The effect of support content and composition of supported metal phase on the crystallite size, phase composition and catalytic properties of supported Ni and Cu-Ni catalysts has been investigated. It has been established that with increasing metal content, crystallite sizes and enantioselectivity increase. Copper added to Ni catalysts decreases metal phase dispersity and enantioselectivity. © 1987 Akadémiai Kiadó.
