Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a catalytic process for converting coal to normally liquid and gaseous products, preferably liquid products. The catalysts are unsupported catalyst comprised of highly dispersed molybdenum sulfide, and a noble metal in an oxidation state greater than zero, preferably greater than one, and coordinated primarily to sulfur. Additionally, the catalysts may include a promoter metal sulfide, such as nickel sulfide, cobalt sulfide, iron sulfide, or a mixture thereof. It is critical that the sulfides of the various metals be intimately mixed and highly dispersed. This invention also relates to a method of preparing such catalysts from certain noble metals, molybdenum, and promoter metal complexes.
