[Cu(H2btec)(bipy)]∞: a novel metal organic framework (MOF) as heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidation of olefins

“…In the catalysis area, the epoxidation of olefins using metal catalysts plays a central role in the selective and partial oxidation of both saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Selective oxygen transfer to olefins remains an important research area in industrial and synthetic chemistry, because epoxides are widely used as epoxy resins, paints, surfactants, and intermediates in various organic syntheses. 23 The activation of hydroperoxides by transition metals has received much attention, since Group IV-VII metals have been employed for industrial olefin epoxidation with organic hydroperoxides (the Halcon-Arco process).…”

Mechanisms of Methane Activation and Transformation on Molybdenum Oxide Based Catalysts

“…Exploitation of such resources is impeded by the high cost of gas transportation. An obvious solution is the on-site conversion of methane to methanol or other efficiently transportable liquid material. − The available conversion methods are indirect (eqs 1,2), involving the production of syn-gas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) as the first step (eq 1), which is energy intensive and thus uneconomical. − Developing efficient strategies for the direct conversion of methane to methanol or other liquid fuels or chemicals has far-reaching significance.…”

“…Many different catalytic systems have been investigated, mainly vanadium-and molybdenum-containing catalysts (see Grabowski, 2006or Grzybowska-Swierkosz, 2000 for an extensive review). However, the maximum propylene yield was always below 30%.…”
