Abstract |
Ruthenium fulleride nanospheres were produced and decorated with small (<1.5 nm) ruthenium nanoparticles. These materials, which present a significant charge transfer from ruthenium to the electron acceptor C60 fullerene, were tested in the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde. In alcoholic solvents, very large amounts (≈90%) of acetals were formed, pointing out the high acidity of the Ru sites. The addition of a weak base and the use of methanol as a solvent allow to reach high activity and selectivity toward cinnamyl alcohol, whereas the use of an aprotic and apolar solvent decreases the activity and yields mainly hydrocinnamaldehyde. Density functional theory calculations show that this selectivity shift is not correlated to a specific precoordination of cinnamaldehyde on the ruthenium nanoparticles.
