Abstract
The activity of various 3d, 4d and 5d transition metal oxides in the s elective reduction of nitrobenzene to nitrosobenzene has been investig ated. An attempt has been made to find a correlation between these act ivities and several properties of the oxides investigated, such as the ir place in the Periodic Table, structure, reducibility, heat of forma tion and surface metal-oxygen bond strength. A weak volcano-shape corr elation can be seen with the heat of formation and the surface metal-o xygen bond strength.
