The structure and catalytic properties of binary dispersed oxide structures prepared by sequential deposition of VO(x) and MoO(x) or VO(x) and CrO(x) on Al(2)O(3) were examined using Raman and UV-visible spectroscopies, the dynamics of stoichiometric reduction in H(2), and the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane. VO(x) domains on Al(2)O(3) modified by an equivalent MoO(x) monolayer led to disp...

The oxidative dehydrogenation of propane using CO2 (CO2-ODP) is a promising technique for high-yield propylene production and utilization. Unfortunately the efficiency existing catalysts limited, therefore, developing highly efficient catalyst CO2-ODP great importance chemical industry. Here we report Pt–Co–In ternary nanoalloy on CeO2 that has (Pt1?xCox)2In3 pseudo-binary alloy structure exhib...

Upon reduction at 975 °C, a strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) of CeO2 on Pt NPs leads to low rates for ethylene hydrogenation and propane dehydrogenation, but high olefin selectivity the latter reaction. By contrast, 550 °C Pt/CeO2, 5 nm NP’s with dehydrogenation TORs similar Pt/SiO2. X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) shows formation ...

A kinetic model for propane dehydrogenation in an industrial moving bed reactor is developed based on the reported reaction scheme. The kinetic parameters and activity constant are fine tuned with several sets of balanced plant data. Plant data at different operating conditions is applied to validate the model and the results show a good agreement between the model predictions and plant observa...

A PdII catalyst system has been used to successfully catalyse two mechanistically distinct reactions in a one-pot procedure: dehydrogenation of 2,2-disubstituted cyclopentane-1,3-diones and the subsequent oxidative Heck coupling. This auto-tandem catalytic reaction is applicable to both batch and continuous flow processes, with the latter being the first example of a tandem aerobic dehydrogenat...

The oxidative dehydrogenation of dihydroarenes catalyzed by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-benzoquinone(DDQ) and NaNO(2) with dioxygen is reported. The combination of DDQ and NaNO(2) showed high efficiency and high selectivity, compared with other benzoquinones and anthraquinones, e.g., >99% conversion of 9,10-dihydroanthracene with 99% selectivity for anthracene can be obtained at 120 degrees C unde...

Nitrogen heteroarenes form an important class of compounds which can be found in natural products, synthetic drugs, building blocks etc. Among the diverse strategies that were developed for the synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles, oxidative dehydrogenation is extremely effective. This review discusses various oxidative dehydrogenation strategies of C-C and C-N bonds to generate nitrogen heteroar...
