Molecular modelling of supported metal catalysts: SiO2-grafted [{(η3-C4H7)2Rh}2V4O12] and [{Rh(C2Me5)}4V6O19] are catalytically active in the selective oxidation of propene to acetone
Abstract
SiO2-grafted [{η3-C4H7)2Rh}2 V4O12] and [{Rh(C2Me5)}4V6O19], as molecular models of supported Rh catalysts characterized by EXAFS, FTIR and TPD studies, exhibit high catalytic activities for the selective oxidation of propene to Acctone.
