Pyrolysis of Au(OAc)3 in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline over TiO2 furnishes a highly active and selective Au nanoparticle (NP) catalyst embedded in a nitrogen-doped carbon support, Au@N-doped carbon/TiO2 catalyst. Parameters such as pyrolysis temperature, type of support, and nitrogen ligands as well as Au/ligand molar ratios were systematically investigated. Highly selective hydrogenation of numerous structurally diverse alkynes proceeded in moderate to excellent yield under mild conditions. The high selectivity toward the industrially important alkene substrates, functional group tolerance, and the high recyclability makes the catalytic system unique. Both high activity and selectivity are correlated with a frustrated Lewis pairs interface formed by the combination of gold and nitrogen atoms of N-doped carbon that, according to density functional theory calculations, can serve as a basic site to promote the heterolytic activation of H2 under very mild conditions. This "fully heterogeneous" and recyclable gold catalyst makes the selective hydrogenation process environmentally and economically attractive.

Palladium nanoparticles are prepared from palladium(II) acetate and 2 equivalents of potassium tert-butoxide in the presence of 4-octyne. The palladium nanoparticles-tetrabutylammonium borohydride system shows excellent catalytic activity and selectivity in the semihydrogenation of alkynes to the [(Z)-]alkenes. The hydrogenation of 4-octyne is conducted with the catalyst system at a substrate-to-palladium molar ratio of 10,000-200,000 under 8 atm of hydrogen to give (Z)-4-octene in > 99% yield. Isomerization and over-reduction of the Z-alkene are very slow even after consumption of the alkyne.
