Abstract

Abstract A novel insoluble green complex of palladium (II) and salicylidene ethylene diamine (salen) has been prepared and found to be an active and selective heterogeneous hydrogenation catalyst especially for the reduction of alkynes in the presence of alkenes and of alkenes in the presence of other functional groups.
