Abstract
Alkylated dibenzothiophenes are among the most difficult compounds to desulfurize in the hydroprocessing of crude oil, and information leadi ng to their efficient removal is of tremendous value. Homogeneous nick el and platinum complexes were found to desulfurize alkylated dibenzot hiophenes in the solution phase proceeding through well-characterized transition-metal insertion complexes.
