Abstract

The hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of indole has been studied over Mo₂N and Mo₂C with different structures. The difference in activity was modest and the structure of the catalysts exerted a more significant effect than the chemical composition. More evident difference was observed in selectivity, and here the composition was the most important factor. Sonochemically prepared Mo₂C was an active catalyst for HDN reaction. It formed plate-like aggregates of loosely packed Mo₂C (fcc) particles. The crystallinity of sonochemically prepared Mo₂C was improved during the reaction, and its behavior in HDN became similar to Mo₂C (fcc) prepared by the TPR method.
