The oxidation of n-octane by iridium and cobalt PNP complexes.
(2011)Paraffin activation has practical implications in the replacement of current petrochemical feedstocks (olefins), by utilizing economical and easily accessible alkanes, which may result in more efficient strategies for ... -
Oxidative dehydrogenation of n-octane using vanadium-based hydrotalcite-like compounds.
(2010)The oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes provides a potential route to higher value products such as olefins and aromatic compounds. Alkanes are of low environmental impact and their increasing availability has prompted ... -
The synthesis and reactions of functionalised transition metal substituted paraffins.
(2002)The compounds [Cp(CO)3W{(CH2)nX}] (X = Br, I; n = 3 - 6) were prepared in high yield by the reaction ofNa[Cp(CO)3W ] with Br(CH2)nBr. The bromoalkyl compounds were subsequently reacted with NaI to give the corresponding ... -
The synthesis of xanthene-based transition metal complexes and their application in the oxidation reaction of n-octane.
(2014)The oxidation of alkanes into valuable products such as alcohols, ketones and aldehydes is very important to industry for detergents and perfumes. One of the challenges with alkanes is their inertness which results from ...
