SiO2-grafted dinuclear molybdenum catalyst derived from Mo2(OAc)4; highly active for alkene metathesis reaction
Abstract
SiO2-grafted dinuclear molybdenum species derived from Mo2(OAc)4, e.g.[Mo[graphic omitted]Mo]V, which are characterized by ESR and EXAFS spectroscopy, exhibit marked catalytic activity for propene metathesis reaction, but are inactive for ethane homologation
