Abstract

Silica-supported tantalum clusters (on average, approximately tritantalum) were formed by the treatment, in either H2 or ethane, of adsorbed Ta(CH2Ph)5; the supported catalyst is active for ethane conversion to methane and propane at 523 K, with the used catalyst containing clusters of the same average nuclearity as the precursor.
