Investigation of the use of intermetallic hydride phases as effective catalysts of hydrogenation by molecular hydrogen is proceeding in two directions: (1) study of the catalytic activity of hydride phases in hydrogenation reactions of olefin and acetylene hydrocarbons and organic compounds containing multiple nitrogen-carbon bonds, and (2) feasibility on the use of hydride phases as catalysts hydrogenating carbon monoxide and in ammonia synthesis, at 250 to 350/sup 0/C and pressures below 100 atm. The first group of reactions takes smoothly at 20 to 100/sup 0/C and 1 to 50 atm hydrogen pressure. The hydrogenation reaction of multiple carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds does not require any special catalyst selection. The second group of reactions requires considerably more energy for activating the CO and N/sub 2/ molecules. Hydride phases of transition metal and rare earth metal intermetallic compounds are used as catalysts.
