Development of Tungsten-Based Heterogeneous Alkane Metathesis Catalysts Through a Structure-Activity Relationship

摘要

The transformation of lower alkanes into higher homologues is still a great challenge in chemistry.A highly electrophilic tantalum hydride supported on silica,[( ident to SiO)_2TaH],catalyt-ically transforms a given alkane into its higher and lower homologues-an alkane metathesis reaction.
