商品簡介
Because of C 1-C 4 alkanes relative stability of C-C and C-H bonds, they cannot yet be easily substituted for more expensive alkanes and aromatics in the catalysis processes of the petroleum, petrochemicals, and bulk and fine chemicals industries. The key issues in these 26 papers, then, is how to identify and achieve novel catalytic mechanisms by which light alkanes can be activated in mild conditions, functionalized, and reacted selectively, while ensuring satisfactory catalyst stability and life. Containing all the lectures and selected communications from an ASI conference bearing the same title as this book (held in Portugal, May/June, 1997), the material encompasses topics which range from homogeneous to heterogeneous approaches, and highly theoretical and experimental methods.
