Abstract
A platinum catalyst and a ruthenium catalyst were synthesized from a porous aromatic framework, namely PAF-30. The catalyst properties were examined in hydrogenation of phenol and guaiacol at 80–250°C and at a hydrogen pressure of 30 atm in the presence of various solvents. Significant effects of the reaction medium, process conditions, and catalyst morphology on the reaction mechanism were demonstrated. Reaction conditions optimal for complete conversion of phenol and guaiacol to hydrogenation products were selected for both catalysts.
