The hydrogenation of a mixture of cis- and trans-1,3-pentadiene over a 1% Pd/Al2O3 catalyst at 303 K has been studied using infrared spectroscopy to monitor the changes in the composition of the gas phase over the catalyst as a function of time. The reaction is seen to occur as a consecutive process, with the terminal double bond hydrogenated in advance of the internal double bond. Vibrational assignments have been confirmed through ancillary calculations for a number of C5 molecules. The reaction profile is consistent with the catalyst presenting two distinct reaction sites: hydrogenation of the terminal double bond occurs at Site α, whilst Site β is responsible for hydrogenation of the internal double bond. Trans-pent-2-ene is identified as the only reaction intermediate. From comparative studies of the hydrogenation of pentenes over the catalyst, the absence of any cis-pent-2-ene in the reaction mixture is tentatively attributed to cis-1,3-pentadiene isomerising at Site α to form trans-1,3-pentadiene. The effect of toluene-d8 to act as a chemical modifier was also investigated and shown to selectively poison Site β, Site α being unperturbed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
