Abstract

Hydrogenation of acetylene and ethylene in aqueous sulphide solution occurs during the illumination of semiconducting CdS particles loaded with Pt or Rh catalysts; the product distribution of the hydrogenation reaction depends on both the pH of the solution and the identity of the transition metal catalyst.
