Methanation of carbon monoxide and dioxide by supported metal carbonyl clusters

The catalysis of carbon monoxide hydrogenation by supported cobalt and ruthenium clusters is studied, and an unusually specific cobalt methanation catalyst is described. A variety of ruthenium carbonyl clusters catalyzes carbon monoxide methanation, irrespective of support, and Ru 3 (CO) 12 on γ-alu...

Description
Summary:The catalysis of carbon monoxide hydrogenation by supported cobalt and ruthenium clusters is studied, and an unusually specific cobalt methanation catalyst is described. A variety of ruthenium carbonyl clusters catalyzes carbon monoxide methanation, irrespective of support, and Ru 3 (CO) 12 on γ-alumina is found to be a potentially useful carbon dioxide methanation catalyst.
