Halogen-induced selectivity in heterogeneous epoxidation is an electronic effect—fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine in the Ag-catalysed selective oxidation of ethene

Abstract

Selectivity promotion in the Ag-catalysed heterogeneous epoxidation of ethene correlates with halogen electron affinity showing that it is an electronic phenomenon rather than a steric or geometrical effect.
