Product distributions obtained in the hydrogenation and exchange reactions of ethylene with deuterium at 20/sup 0/C and approx. 15% conversion over 0.1% platinum supported on various oxides showed that the chance of ethylene desorbing from the titanium oxide- or magnesium oxide-supported catalysts was about six times greater than of its desorption from the alumina-, silica/alumina-, or silica-supported catalysts. The platinum interaction with the titanium and magnesium oxide supports that causes the weakening of the ethylene adsorption bond is discussed.
