During citral hydrogenation, the products distribution obtained on Rh/TiO2 and Pt/TiO2 catalysts depends on their preparation and activation protocols: (i) the unsaturated alcohols (the intended products) are formed in higher quantity on samples reduced at 500 degrees C and more notably with Pt/TiO2...
