Abstract: In this work, we present an initial attempt to study the S-T0 nuclear spin conversion in the pair of p-H2-derived protons within the hydrogenation intermediates under heterogeneous conditions. The results differ significantly from those obtained under homogeneous conditions, where the S-T0 conversion demonstrated significant sensitivity to external factors, including temperature, solvent, and catalyst. The singlet character of the p-H2-derived protons transferred to the product molecule is also increased if strong continuous-wave (CW) irradiation is applied at the anticipated chemical shift of the hydrogenation intermediates during p-H2 bubbling. In contrast, under heterogeneous hydrogenation conditions, there is no or only a subtle dependence of the apparent S-T0 conversion in the hydrogenation intermediates on temperature and other external factors for all the catalysts tested. We have used the reaction of hydrogenation of 2-butyne with p-H2 to study the S-T0 conversion at the intermediates both in the gas phase and in the liquid phase. The three types of heterogeneous catalysts, monometallic (Rh/TiO2), bimetallic (Rh-In/SiO2), and immobilized complex (IrCl-P-TiO2), have demonstrated different results in terms of S-T0 conversion. At the same time, the three immobilized complexes (IrL′-L″-support) with different supports (SiO2/TiO2), as well as linkers (L″ = -P/-S) and coordination spheres (L′ = OMe or Cl), demonstrated the same results. This indicates that the S-T0 conversion depends mainly on the type of active species of the catalyst.
