Fullerene-based ruthenium catalysts in cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation
Ruthenium on fullerenes and ruthenium and palladium on activated carbon were compared for their catalytic activity and selectivity in cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation. The fullerene support had a marked effect on the selectivity, even though the fullerenes themselves showed no catalytic activity.
