Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of carbonyl derivative hydrogenation catalysts, in particular to a rhenium complex catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Carbonyl derivatives such as aldehydes, ketones, and esters are widely present in nature and are key intermediates in many chemical processes. Catalytic hydrogenation of carbonyl derivatives to produce alcohols can effectively make up for the insufficient production of natural alcohol compounds. At present, with the development of the new energy industry, the preparation technology of "green hydrogen" has become mature. Therefore, using hydrogen as a reducing agent and developing a catalyst that can efficiently catalyze the hydrogenation of carbonyl derivative molecules to produce alcohols has become the key to the continued industrial promotion of the catalytic hydrogenation of carbonyl derivatives to produce alcohols.

[0003] At present, the catalysts that can be used to catalyze the hydrogenation of carbonyl derivative molecules mainly include two categories: supported heterogeneous catalysts and homogeneous metal complex catalysts. As we all know, supported heterogeneous catalysts often require more stringent reaction conditions, resulting in high energy consumption and high carbon emissions in the catalytic reaction process. In contrast, homogeneous metal complex catalysts have clear structural characteristics and often show excellent catalytic activity under mild reaction conditions. Compared with supported heterogeneous catalysts, they have certain advantages in the application of carbonyl derivative molecular hydrogenation.

[0004] Based on precious metals such as Ru(II) and Ir(III), researchers have successfully developed a series of complex catalysts that can efficiently catalyze the hydrogenation of carbonyl derivative molecules, and have made significant research progress. However, precious metals are expensive and will inevitably cause certain environmental pollution during use. It is well known that metals such as Fe and Mn are abundant in the earth's crust, inexpensive, and are essential trace elements for the human body. Their development and application have the advantages of low cost and environmental friendliness. Therefore, in recent years, researchers have further constructed a series of complex catalysts around cheap metals such as Mn(Ⅰ), Fe(Ⅱ) and Co(Ⅱ) and successfully applied them to the research of hydrogenation of carbonyl derivative molecules. However, Mn, Fe, Co, etc. are elements of the third period with small ionic radius. The synthesized complexes have large steric hindrance during the catalytic reaction, resulting in limited catalyst performance. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new complex catalyst system that has the characteristics of high reaction activity and good selectivity of precious metal catalysts and environmental friendliness and low cost of cheap metals. Summary of the invention
