Design of more efficient olefin and alkane metathesis heterogeneous catalysts via surface organometallic chemistry

摘要

Sustainable development is a key issue of the XXIst century,and this has forced industry and academia to increase the efficiency of chemical processes.One possibility to reach this goal is to limit the energy consumption and to maximise the use of raw materials,which places catalysis as an obvious answer to this problem.In term of chemical processes,heterogeneous catalysts have several advantages;they can be easily separated from reactants/products,they can run in continuous flow reactors,they are usually robust and can be regenerated.
