Abstract
In this paper, recent results on the de-oxygenation of some organic mo lecules nitrobenzene, aliphatic carboxylic acids and benzoic acid are reviewed. The activity pattern of metal oxides in these reactions has been established, and several factors controlling the selectivity have been identified. Selectivity in the de-oxygenation (and related) reac tion is related to the universally operating Mars - Van Krevelen mecha nism.
