Abstract

An oxygen deactivated metal catalyst that exhibits less catalytic activity can catalyze an extensive ketone hydrogenation reaction which results in the formation of alkanes, but a fully reduced metal catalyst that exhibits stronger catalytic activity only catalyzes a mild hydrogenation reaction which results in the formation of alcohols.
