Abstract
The interaction of it-butane, l-butene, 1,3-butadiene and of C-4 oxyge nates on the surface of oxidized Mg-chromite and Mg-vanadate catalysts has been studied by FT-IR spectroscopy. The results compare well with the catalytic behavior of these materials one of which is a combustio n catalyst (MgCr2O4) and the other is a rather selective oxy-dehydroge nation catalyst (Mg-vanadate). A mechanism for these reactions is prop osed.
