Abstract
Novel perovskite-type oxides containing Sb(V) have been shown to catal yse the oxidative coupling of methane to ethane and ethene. Ba2Sb(La0. 5Bi0.5)O6 gives a yield of 18.1% at an operating temperature of 700-de grees-C. Compounds containing alkali-metal cations (Ba4SbTa2LiO12) giv e comparable yields (16.2%) at slightly lower operating temperatures ( 650-degrees-C). Analogous compounds of Ru(v) are less active.
