The nature of the alcohol exerts a net influence on the activity and selectivity toward <em>cis</em>- and <em>trans</em>-diphenylethylene (stilbene) formation, presumably because of the influence of alcohol on the adsorption of tolane on the catalyst surface. The effect of the nature of deposited metal is closely related to the difference between the amount of hydrogen abstracted and that detected in the gas phase which reflects the photoreductive ability of metal toward hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds at the expense of the H<sub>2</sub>-evolution reaction. Although the transfer hydrogenation of tolane proceeds at a lower rate compared with the conventional catalytic hydrogenation process because of a low availability of hydrogen photogenerated from an alcohol, good yields in the reduction of tolane and high selectivities toward olefin formation can be achieved by using in situ photogenerated hydrogen.
