| Popis: |
The phrase “selective oxidation” invokes the world of industrial chemistry concerned with the partial oxidation of organic molecules. There are two grounds for this. The first is economic, since almost half of the major products of the usage of heterogeneous catalysis (see Table I) are produced by selective oxidation of organic materials. The second ground for associating selective oxidation chemistry with the industrial community arises from the difficulty that academic chemists have encountered when attempting to understand heterogeneous selective oxidation processes on a molecular level and simulate them with homogeneous analogues. The detailed mechanisms of methanol dehydrogenation and ethylene epoxidation are unclear, and even the vaguest outlines of the C-H activation mechanism involved in xylene and butane oxidations are obscure. |
