Role of oxygen transients in the facile scission of C–O bonds of alcohols on Zn surfaces

Abstract

The alkoxy species produced by the interaction of alcohols with Zn surfaces undergoes C–O bond scission at 150 K giving hydrocarbon species, but this transformation occurs even at 80 K when alcohol–oxygen mixtures are coadsorbed, due to the oxygen transients.
