Heteropolyanions are polymeric oxoanions which are formed by the condensation of more
than two different oxoanions [Eq.(1) l. Polyanions consisting of one kind of oxoanion are …

The goal of this review is to present some aspects of the use of a test reaction, ie, methanol
oxidation, as a tool to characterize oxidation catalysts. The selectivity pattern and the …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the essence of the catalytic chemistry of
heteropoly compounds in solution and in the solid state. The catalytic properties of …

The effects of acid identity on CH3OH dehydration are examined here using density
functional theory (DFT) estimates of acid strength (as deprotonation energies, DPE) and …

Metal-Oxygen Clusters is the first book, providing an overview of the surface chemistry and
catalytic properties of heteropoly oxometalates. After a brief look at the early knowledge of …

Natural gas is acknowledged as the fuel for the 21st century. Natural gas is the cleanest
fossil fuel, and it is abundant. Furthermore, it is dispersed over a wide region, as opposite to …

The surface species formed by the interaction of methanol with HY and HZSM-5 zeolites
modified with nonskeletal Al were examined using FT-IR spectroscopy and temperature …

Heteropolyacids (HPAs) are used as catalysts for many acid reactions in both homogeneous
and heterogeneous systems. For such systems water, as a vapour and/or the crystallization …

Dehydration of ethanol in the pseudoliquid phase of 12-tungstophosphoric acid,
H3PW12O40, was studied by means of solid-state NMR combined withIR, thermal …

Gas-phase catalytic conversion of glycerol to value added chemicals was investigated over
zinc-supported copper and nickel catalysts. The addition of aluminum in the support was …
