New Methane Chemistry Synthesis of Materials for Reversible Uptake and Useful Functionalization of Methane

摘要

New intercalation compounds of organometallic guest molecules and layer metal oxides and sulphides are described. Oxidative coupling of methane to ethylene and ethane over silica catalyst has been demonstrated in preliminary studies. A comprehensive review of carbon-hydrogen-metal bonds has been published. These bonds are fundamental in methane activation processes.
