Abstract

Catalytic hydrogenation of aromatic compounds is an important reaction which is useful for making key intermediates in organic chemistry and for the production of aromaticcontent- free fuels. More recently, there has been much interest in the potential for storage of molecular hydrogen, as an energy source, by catalytic hydrogenation of carboneous materials (eg, fullerene and carbon nanotubes).[1, 2] Although the science of metal and ...
