✦ Synopsis
A new one-step method, entitled fluidized-bed metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (FBMOCVD) of preparing highly dispersed metal-supported catalysts is reported. The following complexes were studied and used as CVD precursors in presence of H 2 : [Rh(m-Cl)(CO) 2 ] 2 , Rh(allyl) 3 , Rh(acac)(CO) 2 , Pd(allyl)(hfac), Pd(allyl)(Cp), Pt(COD)(CH 3 ) 2 . (acac, acetylacetonato; hfac, hexafluoroacetylacetonato; Cp, cyclopentadienyl; COD, cyclooctadienyl). In a first approach, depositions on planar substrates were carried out to establish the best experimental conditions to obtain good-quality deposits. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy and electron microprobe studies were realized on the resulting thin films. Analyses of the products contained in the gas phase after and during deposition were performed by mass spectrometry and GC-MS. Finally, catalysts prepared by FBMOCVD were characterized by transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersion spectroscopy (TEM-EDS), metal-loading determinations and specific-surface measurements (BET). Dispersed nanosized aggregates were obtained, showing high activities in alkene hydrogenation and alcohol hydrocarbonylation.
