Abstract
Rh-MO x/SiO 2 (M=Mo or Re) catalysts shows the high activity of the hydrogenolysis of C-O bond in the substrates with CH 2OH group such as tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, various diols and their ethers. Characterization results suggest the catalyst structure were isolated MoO x species and small ReO x cluster with low valence attached on the surface of Rh metal particles. It is characteristic that the reactivity of the C-O bond in the -O-C-C-CH 2OH is higher than that in the -O-C-CH 2OH over Rh-MoO x/SiO 2, and Rh-ReO x/SiO 2 has the opposite tendency to Rh-MoO x/SiO 2. The difference in the regioselectivity of the hydrogenolysis over Rh-MoO x/SiO 2 and Rh-ReO x/SiO 2 can be related to the different structure of isolated MoO x species and small ReO x clusters.
