Macrocyclic complex catalyst Fe-FeL1 complex of L1 (L1 = C24H26O2N4.) was synthesized and studied in the hydrogenolysis reaction of glycerol reaction in a high pressure batch reactor. The catalyst was well characterized i.e. FTIR, XRD, TGA and BET surface area. The study of hydrogenolysis was found that the selectivity of 1,2-propane diol 80 % at 220°C temperature and 0.35 MPa pressure in presence of hydrogen gas and Fe-Fe/Al2O3 and 30 % glycerol concentration in water gives 1,2-propane diol as the only product and conversion was 36 % at 220°C. It is further seen that if the concentration of glycerol in water is increased beyond 40 % there is a decrease in the total conversion and carbon is produced as coke during the reaction.
