I. Yamanaka et al., ENHANCING EFFECT OF TITANIUM(II) FOR THE OXIDATION OF METHANE WITH O-2 BY AN EUCL3-ZN-CF3CO2H-CATALYTIC SYSTEM AT 40-DEGREES-C, Chemistry Letters, (7), 1996, pp. 565-566
Bis(2,4,-pentanedionate)TiO and TiO2 enhanced markedly the activity of
the EuCl3-Zn-0-CF3CO2H-catalytic system for the CH, oxidation to MeOH
with O-2 at 40 degrees C. It is suggested that Ti(II) species generat
ed from Ti(TV) by the reduction with Zn-0 and CF3CO2H is responsible f
or this enhancement.
