Abstract
A new and general procedure for preparing high surface area, supported intermetallic compound and alloy catalysts is described. In this technique, the volatile Group IIIA and IVA organometallic compounds SiH4, Me6Si2, Me6Ge2, BH3 · Et3N, and Et3Al are decomposed thermally on high surface area nickel, supported on either SiO2 or Al2O3, to yield, directly, mixed metal catalysts of varied composition and structure. Using the competitive dehydrogenation and hydrogenolysis of cyclohexane as model reactions, the effects of intermetallic compound formation on catalytic activity are described.
