Outline of Final Research Achievements

Hydrogenation reaction under low H2 pressure atmosphere is of great interest from a safety view point because H2 gas is highly flammable in air and shows explosion triggered by spark, heat or sunlight. In this work, Rh complex catalyst- MOF hybrid was newly synthesized and used as catalyst for hydrogenation of alkene substrates. Noteworthy, the composite maintained good catalytic activity even under low H2 concentration atmosphere where no hydrogenation proceeded with Rh complex catalyst.
