In a series of deuteration experiments with D-2 in contact with bis-(diphenylphosphino) butane (dppb) stabilized ruthenium nanoparticles (liquid substrates, 60 degrees C, 6 bar D-2) we have observed a surprisingly large reactivity of cyclopentane as compared to cyclohexane and other alkanes. DFT calculations using a ligand-free Ru13H17 model cluster as catalyst indicate oxidative C-H cleavage of the bound substrates as rate limiting reaction step. They also indicate similar binding and activation enthalpies of reactions of cyclopentane and cyclohexane.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"ChemCatChem","type":"journal_article","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"extern":"1","user_id":"100715","_id":"64031"}
