Abstract
The present invention relates to ceramic materials containing a homogeneous dispersion of metal particles, particularly sol-gel ceramic materials, a method of preparing the same, and processes for hydrogenating and oxidizing organic compounds using the same.
Claims15
A process for hydrogenating an organic compound, which comprises combining a catalytic amount of a polysiloxane matrix material containing a homogeneous dispersion of metal particles and the organic compound in the presence of molecular hydrogen, said polysiloxane matrix material being prepared by the method of mixing a siloxane compound having Si-H groups with an aqueous solution comprising a metal salt.
