Sw. Lin et W. Ueda, OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION OF ETHANE OVER LANTHANUM-SUBSTITUTED LAYERED COMPLEX BISMUTH CHLORIDE OXIDE CATALYSTS, Chemistry Letters, (9), 1997, pp. 901-902
By the replacement of bismuth ion by lanthanum ion in the cation-oxyge
n sheet of SrBi3O4Cl3 catalyst having a layer structure, c value of th
e lattice decreased clearly, making the cation-oxygen sheet and the ch
lorine sheet closer, and the catalytic activity increased prominently
for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane. The activity increase can
be attributed to the enhanced oxidation ability of the cation-oxygen
sheet by the introduction of La.
