Order-Induced Selectivity Increase of Cu60Pd40 in the Semi-Hydrogenation of Acetylene

The two structural modifications of Cu60Pd40 were synthesized as bulk powders and tested as unsupported model catalysts in the semi-hydrogenation of acetylene. The partly ordered low-temperature modification (CsCl type of structure) showed an outstanding ethylene selectivity of >90% over 20 h on...
