Abstract
Catalysts for the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide are found among molecular transition metal carbonyl complexes as well as metal surfaces. Knowing the close analogies between the two types of metal centers, as they have been emphasized in the preceding Chapters, this cannot be a surprise. However, with a few exceptions, the reaction products obtained from CO + H2 are quite different. Thus, for instance, glycol and other polyalcohols have only been produced by homogeneous catalysts (i.e. soluble, molecular complexes), whereas long chain hydrocarbons are formed exclusively by heterogeneous catalysts (i.e. metal surfaces, or small metal particles on a support). The question arises as to what is at the origin of this type of specialization.
